"Impossible,it’s just impossible."
His fingertips turned white from clenching,his eyes were as red as if they were bleeding,and his voice was hoarse."You said we should take care of ourselves,right?You were going to divorce me,weren't you?Amelia,stop using this trick to deceive me."
Each and every word he uttered stabbed me at my heart.I didn't know why my heart hurt even though I was dead.Looking at Ethan,I just thought how ridiculous it was that fate played such a cruel joke.Before I died,I had waited for so many years for his response,but I never got it.Now,after I died,I could see him deceiving himself like this.
What was Ethan sad about?What was he having a break down for?Was it because of this Christmas gift that I never got to give him,or because we would never have another Christmas together?
It didn't matter anymore,I thought.
Then Ethan,still holding that sweater,fainted.
Ethan held a small funeral for me.Not many people came,but most of them were the people I was closest to.
I saw Li Yan,my best friend from high school.Her eyes were red from crying.She placed a bouquet of hyacinths,my favorite flowers,in front of my gravestone.I also saw my three college roommates.After not seeing them for several years,they still looked the same as in my memory.
A simple funeral with the most sincere people was already very satisfying for me.But when I saw the person in the corner of the crowd,I suddenly felt a long-lost sense of nervousness.
Ethan attended the funeral as my husband.He was in charge of everything throughout the process.He had fainted yesterday due to being too emotional,but today he was able to stand here as if nothing had happened.When the funeral was coming to an end,Sylvia's appearance broke the peace.
"Ethan dear..."Sylvia still looked the same as in my memory.Because whenever she was in front of Ethan,she was always that pitiful-looking girl,making me seem like the aggressive and vicious villain.
"Amelia...I never expected such an accident to happen.Ethan dear,don't be too sad.I will always be there for you from now on."
Huh,even though I had become an apparition,I still couldn't help but want to punch her when I saw her like this.
"Why are you here?"Ethan's tone was flat,without any emotion.He had never spoken to Sylvia like this before.
"I heard that Amelia's funeral was today.I just wanted to come and see her off."Naturally Sylvia also noticed Ethan's cold tone and anxiously explained,even with a bit of a crying tone."I'm sorry...It was my own idea.Although Amelia and I had some unpleasant histories,I don't blame her.I..."
"Blame her?Sylvia,where do you get the nerve to blame Amelia?How long are you going to keep up this act?"
Sylvia's hypocritical confession was suddenly interrupted.Her face became a bit distorted because of this question.And Ethan,upon hearing this,frowned and looked at the person who spoke.It was him,Ryan.
Ryan hwas once Ethan's childhood friend,but later he became my closest friend, someone I could confide in.He had almost witnessed every detail of my relationship with Ethan from when we first met to our marriage,and he had also witnessed the process of our marriage gradually falling apart.
During those days and nights when I cried bitterly because of Ethan,Ryan had always been my most loyal listener.During those important festivals that Ethan was absent,it was also Ryan who accompanied me.
Ryan had argued with Ethan for me and even broke off his friendship with Ethan for me.Later,Ryan moved to a foreign country because of work,and we could only communicate online.
And today,Ryan had come back to attend my funeral.I couldn't help but start to feel nervous because his expression was so gloomy.I felt that something was about to get out of control.
