My wife's unforgettable first love, Henry Foster, drove under the influence of alcohol and killed me. My wife, Tessa Ellis, as a leading lawyer in the country, not only didn't save me, but also comforted Henry, saying, "He's just being unreasonable, scaring you like this!!"
She even refused to help me seek justice and covered up the truth of the accident for Henry.
And she even pointed at my body with impatience and said, "Stop pretending, aren't you just trying to get my attention?"

After I died, my soul drifted to Tessa's side.
She, who had always been indifferent, comforted the injured person on the hospital bed, Henry, saying softly, "Don't worry, leave this to me to handle."
Her eyes were full of tenderness.
Having been married to her for many years, she always treated me with indifference and impatience. I had never seen her so gentle before.
I had grown used to her apparent lack of concern, but it didn't mean I didn't care. The bitter emotions in my heart were now overwhelming.
A bell ringing, Tessa answered the call from the police with determination, saying, "This car accident has nothing to do with Henry Foster! It was Oscar Edwards who deliberately crashed into Henry without knowing the severity of the situation!"
She looked at the harmless Henry on the sickbed, tightly holding his hand, full of self-blame.
As a nationally renowned lawyer, even in this situation, she remained calm, using her absolute professionalism and legal knowledge to absolve Henry of all responsibility.
After hanging up the phone, Tessa seemed to firmly believe that I had caused harm to Henry out of caprice, and she looked full of helplessness and self-blame.
Then another call came in. "Tessa, Oscar's injuries are severe. He may not hold on much longer. Can you come as soon as possible?"
In the previous moment, he had spoken gently to Henry, but upon receiving the call from my mother Beatrice, her tone suddenly turned impatient, "If he's going to die, he should just hurry up and die. He's caused so much harm to Henry, and he hasn't even settled the score with her yet. Now he comes to me, pretending to be pitiful. How disgusting."
My mother on the other end of the phone hurriedly said, "The doctor said Oscar is in danger at any time. This may be the last time you see him."
Henry, upon hearing the conversation, held Tessa's hand anxiously.
Tessa, looking at his frightened appearance, turned to the phone with a look of disgust and reprimanded, "Enough! Tell Oscar not to cause trouble anymore. Does he know how much he's scared Henry?"
With that, she hung up.
After the accident, Tessa had always been dissatisfied with me. She believed that I had intentionally driven towards Henry out of jealousy.
Henry coughed and weakly said, "I'm so scared, Tessa. What should I do if something really happens to Oscar?"
Tessa, with cold eyes, said, "He's just pretending for my sake. He's still causing trouble at a time like this. It's just too much."
