Before I Leave

Ethan Shaw had died.

Before the funeral, his wife, Stella Walker, packed his belongings and found a thick photo album.

[My True Love]

On the cover, it said—

She opened it.

The photos inside were not of her.

They were Rachel Chester—the girl Ethan had adopted years ago.

Not only that, Ethan left all his wealth to her.

Stella died with hate in her heart.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the night before she married Ethan.

This time, she chose to live for herself and walked away from Ethan to pursue her own dream.

What she did not expect was that, in this life, Ethan went mad looking for her when she left. He searched for her everywhere.

Ethan Shaw had died.

Before the funeral, his wife, Stella Walker, packed his belongings and found a thick photo album.

On the cover, it said, [My True Love.]

She opened it.

The photos inside were not of her.

They were Rachel Chester, the girl Ethan had adopted years ago.

Stella had always believed that Ethan saw Rachel only as his adopted daughter.

However, every picture is filled with deep romantic love—Rachel was smiling, sleeping, crying.

"Yes, even though there are some problems with the medicine produced by Ethan's company and he must pay a large sum, he still has enough money. You won't need to worry about your life."

Just as they finished speaking, a lawyer stood up.

"Mr. Shaw decided to leave all his money and property to Ms. Rachel Chester before he passed away."

The room went silent.

Then, someone burst in.

"Who's going to pay for our medical expenses then?"

The families of the medicine accident victims stormed in.

"She's that bastard, Ethan Shaw's wife! If we can't get our compensation, kill her to repay! An eye for an eye!"

They rushed at her.

A sharp knife stabbed into Stella's chest.

She fell.

Before she died, she saw Ethan's cold face in the funeral photo.

She slowly closed her eyes.

'I would never marry you if I could ever live again—'

When Stella opened her eyes again, she was in a messy bed sheet.

Before she could react, she heard a cold voice, "I've called our parents. The wedding will happen in five days. Are you happy now?"

Stella looked up and saw Ethan.

He was not the fifty-something man who had died. He looked like he did in his early thirties—young and full of life.

She realized she had gone back to the
