After a sudden car accident, I pretended to have amnesia.
Little did I expect my husband and cousin to seize the opportunity and act as a married couple, passionately entangling on my bed.
Onlookers eagerly watched, applauding and teasing: "Briar must have been starving! Look at how he's ravishing our Selene."
"This is nothing! I remember when they were together before, Selene could barely walk straight any day. What's happening now is child's play!"
Red-faced with anger, I wanted an explanation from him, but he shoved me to the ground.
"If you weren't like a dead fish in bed, so uptight, would I be thinking about her all the time?"
I fell to the floor, blood seeping from beneath me.
My husband's eyes were filled with disgust when my cousin cast a glance at us. He covered her eyes, saying with revulsion, "Don't look. It will render bad luck."
Later, when he saw the miscarriage report from the hospital, his eyes turned red with tears.

Discovering Husband's First Love is My Cousin

But a single message brought him rushing over in a frenzy.


Seeing me lying in the hospital bed, he sneered, "Your tactics to get my attention are getting more and more cunning. You've even roped in the hospital staff to deceive me. You think just because you're in a hospital bed, I'll believe your story about a miscarriage?"


I found his arrogant statement laughable.


Even now, he was convinced I was trying to trick him.


"Believe it or not, your mom's room is on the third floor. You'd better go check on her now."


Briar's face turned cold, his words laced with barely concealed anger as he berated me, "Melody, my mom is your mother-in-law. How dare you curse her like that? Have you no humanity?"


There's no use trying to reason with a fool. If he didn't believe me, I saw no point in explaining further.


My silence only reinforced his belief that I was lying.


His eyes were filled with intense irritation as he looked at me.
