In the third year of my marriage to Grey, his pure love was diagnosed with a terminal illness.
To fulfill her dying wish,
Grey came to me with divorce papers, saying:
"Elowen is my lifesaver. Her only wish is to leave this world as my wife. I can't refuse her."
In my previous life, when I heard these words, I broke down and made a scene, refusing to divorce, explaining that I was the one who saved his life.
But because of pure love's single sentence: "If Insomnia wants to take my place, then she should take on the responsibility too."
He actively plotted for me to take the fall for Elowen's medical accident, and in the end, I was stabbed to death by the patient's family.
My soul lingered, and I saw Elowen miraculously recover, spending a lifetime with Grey, happy and content.
Opening my eyes again.
I signed the divorce papers without hesitation.

The Sacrificial Marriage

The brand new gray bedsheets were soaked through,


The dim bedroom light cast the intertwined silhouettes of the two onto the curtains.


When I landed in New York City, I was surprised to see Dashiell at the airport.


At 8 years old, relying on my quick reflexes and fearless spirit,


I had saved Dashiell's 4-year-old sister from being crushed under car wheels.


Yet at 10 years old, I lost my parents in an earthquake. The Forrester estate, in gratitude for my once saving his sister's life,


took me in to be raised at their mansion.


We had eight years of time together, inseparable and candid about everything. He was like a true brother to me, though we shared neither father nor mother.


Until I turned eighteen and entered Yale University as the top-scoring student in the local, diving into the world of medicine.


Until that late-night phone call: "I like you. Will you be with me?"
