One day I died in the hospital. Novel Cover

One day I died in the hospital.

My life came to a tragic end in a cold hospital room on the exact day of my sister’s wedding. Instead of grieving my passing, she walked down the aisle to marry the man I deeply loved, even wearing the very wedding dress meant for me. To make matters worse, my family and peers claimed that my untimely death was actually the ultimate sacrifice—the absolute best thing I could have ever done for her.

Chapter 1

While I was in hospital, my sister married the man I loved in what should have been my wedding dress.

My sister's wedding was about to start when I died. My family called me to come home for it.

They asked me to be my sister's maid of honour at the wedding.

My mother,called me several times but couldn't get through. She yelled at me for being ungrateful.

My brother, Rowan, also called, but couldn't get through.

“What the hell is wrong with Vivian? Why isn't she answering the phone? Doesn't she know this is Jocelyn's last wedding? Jocelyn is dying, what is she doing?” he said with disgust.

Even Dad, who was usually silent, said, “If Vivian doesn't show up at the wedding today, then I will remove her from the family. It's really outrageous.”

A shy girl walked over. She was pretty and gentle.

She frowned and asked, 'Is my sister still refusing to come to my wedding? I know that I stole Houston from her, I stole her wedding, so she is angry and unwilling to come. But I already have terminal lung cancer, I just want to have a wedding with the man I love, after I die, Houston will go back to her.”

She was crying. She covered her chest and coughed. She looked weak and sickly.

Rowan helped her and the parents also came over.

The door opened and a tall, handsome man walked in. His custom-made suit made him look strong. He looked indifferent, but when he saw Jocelyn, his expression softened.

Houston held Jocelyn in his arms and patted his back.

'Don't get upset, it will make your condition worse,' he said.

Jocelyn was happy but sad. She looked at Houston and said, 'It's my fault. Vivian doesn't want to be my bridesmaid because she thinks I stole you from her. I want her blessing. I'm dying and I don't know if I can see her one last time.'

As soon as she finished speaking, she started to cry.

As she said that, people in the room resented me even more.

Houston frowned, but looked tender when he looked at Jocelyn.

He comforted Jocelyn and said, 'It's fine, our wedding will still go on and I will give you the most beautiful wedding.' She's irrelevant. Don't get angry. It's bad for you.

Jocelyn buried her head in Houston's arms.

She won. Houston, my mum, dad and brother all love her.

I floated in the air and saw how much they loved Jocelyn but disliked me.

I died when my mother called me, but my soul went to Jocelyn's wedding.

Jocelyn was in the wedding dress I was supposed to wear, and Houston was in the suit I had made for him. I felt ridiculous.

My boyfriend married Jocelyn in the suit I chose, and Jocelyn married my boyfriend in my wedding dress. They are both linked to me, but this wedding bride is not me. It's a joke.

Houston left the room after comforting Jocelyn. The first thing he did was call me, but he couldn't get through. He tried to message me again.

'Come to the wedding. Jocelyn has lung cancer. Give her a break.'

The message made me feel even more ridiculous.

I got lung cancer! I got sick and died.

Six months ago, I was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer. The doctor said I could still be cured if I was treated in time. When I got home, my dad, brother, mum and Jocelyn were sitting on the sofa without saying anything. I thought they knew something.

I thought they were trying to comfort me, but I suddenly saw my mum hugging Jocelyn and crying, and inside her mouth she said, 'My poor Jocelyn, so young to get cancer, what can we do?'

Jocelyn hugged Mrs.Rowan and said, 'Mum, if I die, Vivian will take care of you.' 'Right, sis?”'

Everyone noticed me in the foyer.

I showed them my medical report. It said I had early-stage lung cancer. My mother slapped me.

She hit me hard, knocking my face to the side.

She growled at me, 'You heartless creature, . Your sister has cancer and so do you. Why do you compare yourself to her?'

Dad and Rowan didn't stop mum. They just looked at me with cold eyes, as if I was just a girl who loved to lie and do stupid things to get attention.

Jocelyn hugged Mrs.Rowan. She cried, 'Mum, don't be like this. Vivian didn't do it on purpose. She just wants us to pay more attention to her.'

She looked at me as if she was mocking a loser.

I couldn't control the tears flowing down my face.

My mind went blank.

‘What did I pretend?’ I said, my voice shaking.

'If you don't want me, why did you have me in the first place? You said you couldn't afford to raise me in the countryside, so why did you bring me back? Jocelyn wears designer clothes. I can only wear cheap clothes. She has a driver to take her to school. I have to walk. She can go to the hospital when she is sick. I have to get through it by myself. Why? Is it possible that I'm not your biological child?’ I shouted it all out.

My mum, Jocelyn and dad were all shocked by my outburst.

Rowan didn't expect me to be so emotional. He didn't know I was sick or that I walked to school. it took half an hour to walk to the gate of the community, let alone walk to school. Wouldn't that mean getting up before dawn?

He felt guilty.

He saw my tears and picked up the medical report on the table.

He looked at it, laughed, stood up and threw the report in front of me. His voice was cold.

'Early stage lung cancer, look carefully, your medical report says gastritis. Next time you lie, can you find a real report.'

I was shocked. How could the doctor lie to me? I looked at the medical report again. The last word was 'inflammation of the stomach'. I looked at Jocelyn's face. She smiled. She was setting me up.

Mum looked mocking as she said, 'We really don't want to raise you, because our family doesn't have a child who loves to lie like you. You don't deserve to be our daughter at all.'

Mr.Rowan was also scornful, with a stern look on his face.

I looked at my relatives in the room and felt their pain was worse than mine.

Jocelyn stood out as a good person. She said, 'I know you have a grudge against me, but we are sisters. I won't blame you if you admit a mistake. Anyway, I'll die and never see you again.' She cried again.

Mum saw her crying and comforted her, 'Jocelyn, don't worry, we'll get you the best doctor and you'll be fine. "You won't die. But those lying bastards will." Mum turned to me with a disgusted face and told me to leave.

My heart was numb with pain, but I was saddened by my mum's words.

I left the house with tears in my eyes. When I passed Jocelyn, I saw a smile on her face. It was the smile of triumph.

Three months later, Houston told me Jocelyn was going to marry him because her cancer was terminal. She wanted to have a wedding with the man she loved, but my fiancé was the man she loved but couldn't have.

Houston said he had to repay Jocelyn for saving his life when they were child.

I had no money for cancer treatment. I also wanted to break up with Houston because I was dying and he was happy with Jocelyn.

But when he was engaged, his grandma chose me as his fiancée because she liked me a lot.
