The doctors had no choice but to cut open his clothes.
But when Aiden woke up, he was like a walking corpse. Seeing his clothes had been changed, he rushed out of the hospital like a madman, grabbing nurses and asking with bloodshot eyes.
“Where are my clothes?”
Disregarding his germaphobia, he dug through trash cans over and over. When he couldn’t find it, he crouched on the ground crying like a child.
That shirt was one Chloe had bought him. Even when it faded in the wash, he couldn’t bear to replace it.
He returned home like a soulless zombie, but no matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t find a single trace of me. Aiden helplessly rummaged through the trash cans before stopping in front of a fire pit.
All the wedding preparations had been burned to ashes, not even the intricately beaded wedding dress remained. How desperate must she have felt in that moment?
As if possessed, Aiden grabbed handfuls of ashes from the pit and shoved them in his mouth, trying to find some comfort there.

She looked at Aiden, wiping away tears.
Until his mouth was full of ashes and he could barely breathe, the housekeeper rushed him to the hospital.
Gone? No, it can’t be.
Aiden’s blank expression finally showed a flicker of change.
“Sir, why are you doing this to yourself? You hurt Miss Chloe beyond repair. Now that she’s gone, please let her rest in peace.”

He suddenly sat up, remembering how in his past life, he had slit open his own artery and fed me his blood to be reborn.
In that moment, he smiled in relief, as if seeing the Chloe from years ago.
He leapt out of bed before the housekeeper could react, viciously slashing open his artery. Blood instantly gushed out.
After 24 hours of emergency treatment, he barely clung to life.
The next day, one of the small–time thugs from the casino found him, looking panicked and stammering,
“We brothers couldn’t ease our conscience. That time at the casino was actually all staged by inject a child into Miss Chloe’s body, but we were too scared and didn’t do it.”
Miss Lily. She

“The kidnapping was also Miss Lily’s idea. She actually wanted to get rid of Miss Chloe and have you and the Shen family for
herself.”
“What did you say?”
Aiden jerked his head up, his whole body shaking uncontrollably.
His chest heaved violently as he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, gasping for air.
Tears filled his eyes and ears as immense pain engulfed him.
What had he done? He had lost the girl he loved with his own hands, twice.
He truly deserved to die!
By the time the doctors discovered his unconscious blood–soaked body, it was almost too late.
When Lily arrived and saw the sickly Aiden, gone was their usual familiarity.
When Aiden proposed transferring all his assets to her, she grinned from ear to ear.
Little did she know, endless torture awaited her.
No questions, no interrogation. Lily realized she had entered hell.
Heart–wrenching agony consumed her, begging for death but unable to die.
“Aiden, I curse you to a miserable end!”

He laughed self–mockingly. Yes, he had been doomed to a wretched fate long ago.
