Grayson’s face turned pale with disbelief.
“Mila, come out and explain this to me! What’s going on?”
But no one could answer him.
Suddenly, Grayson went mad, grabbing the shovel again and furiously digging into the small mound.
Chloe panicked at the sight, her eyes darting as she rushed forward to stop him.
“Grayson, what are you doing? Calm down!”
Chloe had to stop him, of course.
If my body was uncovered, Chloe’s wicked schem
would be exposed.
My Husband Asked Me to Donate a Kidney to His Childhood Sweetheart
Three years ago, she had orchestrated my brutal death and buried me alive in this very pit while I was covered in
wounds.
She knew better than anyone who was buried there.
But Grayson, as if possessed, didn’t listen to anyone trying to stop him.
“Get out of my way!”
He shoved Chloe aside angrily, his bloodshot eyes fixated as he kept digging.
When the shovel broke, he crouched down and started digging with his hands, tearing them open until they bled.
Suddenly, his hands stopped.
His face tightened, going rigid.
His eyes locked on what was beneath his hands. It was a grim piece of bone, wrapped in decaying cloth.
“How are there bones here…”
Grayson murmured to himself.
Just then, someone swung a stick hard at Grayson.
“You villains! Ms. Nelson has been dead for so long, and you won’t let her rest in peace! You’re digging up her
grave…”
”
Grayson reacted quickly, grabbing the stick and looking back at the attacker with bloodshot eyes.
It was the drunkard from three days ago.
“What did you say? This is Mila’s grave?”
Before the drunk could respond, Grayson shook his head, eyes bloodshot, denying it.
“No, that’s impossible.
“They say only the wicked live long. That woman, Mila, was so vicious, there’s no way she could have died so
easily…”
The drunk glanced at the man in front of him. “Ha, so
After getting a confirmed answer, the drunk waved hine Ms. Nelson’s husband, the heartless jerk?”
“Get out of here, all of you!
“You’re all to blame!
whip, trying to drive the group away.
“Ms. Nelson was such a good person, and you people caused her such a horrible death…
“How do you even have the nerve to come here?”
Grayson’s face was tense, but he forced a cold smile.
“You’re an actor, right? This must be another one of Mila’s setups. You really think I can’t tell?”
Grayson’s gaze slowly lowered, and then he stomped on the exposed bones.
“Didn’t you love playing dead?
“I’m curious how long these props will hold up.
“Someone, call the coroner.”
Chloe originally wanted to stop the coroner from coming because as soon as the DNA test confirmed the identity, her secret would be exposed.
her.
It would be easy for them to trace the truth back to her.
Even though she was confident, believing that even if the truth came out, Grayson would still choose
Still, she didn’t want Mila’s death to be exposed.
Letting Mila carry the blame, living on in Grayson’s hatred and disgust, was exactly what Chloe wanted.

But secrets can’t stay hidden forever.
Mila had been dead for three years, after all. How could she win against the living?
A smug smile crept onto Chloe’s face. She could use this opportunity to make Grayson lose all hope.
Then she could finally take her place as Mrs. Allen.
Two hours later, the coroner’s results came out.
The coroner, dressed in a white lab coat, sighed silently.
“Mr. Allen, my condolences.
“According to the DNA comparison, this is indeed your wife, Mila Nelson, and she died three years ago.” Grayson’s face turned pale, and he nearly lost his balance.
His bloodshot eyes fixed on the skeleton, with some parts still intact, clean yet reeking of decay.
Despite being sensitive to smells, he seemed not to notice at all.
“How could this happen?
“Mila… how did she die?”
The coroner proceeded with a professional analysis.
“She likely fell from a great height, breaking several ribs.
“There were multiple blunt force injuries on her body and traces of several crushed bones. Additionally, the lower half of the body…”
The coroner paused, glanced up at Grayson, and continued calmly, “The victim appears to have been assaulted multiple times before death.
“Also, there are traces of dirt in her lungs and organs. There’s a 95% chance she was buried alive.”
With each word the coroner spoke, Grayson’s face grew even paler.
He never would have imagined it.
Mila hadn’t secretly gone into hiding to avoid donating her kidney to Chloe. She had been dead all along.
In the days that followed, Grayson walked around like a soulless corpse.
He refused to eat and wouldn’t leave the house to handle business at the company.
He even turned down Chloe’s request to go shopping.
Chloe sobbed and whined in his arms, “Grayson, I know Mila’s death hurt you deeply. After all, you were married
for eight years.
“But she’s already gone. What can we do about it now?
“We can only keep living and take good care of Jayden, right?
“It’s just a pity about my kidney failure… Grayson, I might not be able to stay with you much longer…”
Grayson’s stiff expression finally showed some emotion.
He gently hugged Chloe. “Don’t worry, I’ll find you another kidney match.”
Chloe smiled, satisfied.
The kidney disease was fake, but Grayson’s love for her was real.
