Page 2 of My wife made me take the fall for her first love

My soul seemed to be crucified beside Wynona like a Christian martyr, forced to follow her back home.

The moment the door opened, Gavin rushed forward eagerly, his eyes filled with anticipation. "Wynona, how did it go? Did you find Everett?"

Wynona shook her head, looking dazed. "No. And they said Everett is already dead."

"Dead?" Gavin's eyes widened in shock as he stepped back half a pace, instinctively grabbing Wynona's arm. "How is that possible? Is he deliberately hiding from us and made up an excuse to fool you?"

Wynona frowned in silence.

Seeing this, Gavin forced a bitter smile. "That must be it! Everett is definitely still angry about what happened five years ago and doesn't want to help me, so he's telling this lie. Wynona, maybe we should just forget it? Stop pressuring him. At worst, I'll turn myself in."

After a moment of silence, Wynona finally nodded. "You're right, he must be hiding somewhere. But we can't let this go. Even if I have to turn the entire city upside down, I'll find him and clear your name!"

Gavin was so moved that his eyes reddened, his voice choking with emotion. "Wynona, you're so good to me."

"However," Wynona suddenly interrupted him, her tone hesitant, "if Everett can come up with such an excuse, he must be truly angry. Gavin, this is the last time I'll help you. Once he takes the blame for you and gets out of prison, we should go our separate ways."

Standing nearby, I was so shocked I almost forgot I was already dead.

Wynona was actually suggesting she wanted to cut ties with Gavin?

I still remembered how she had fought with me tooth and nail over this man five years ago. We'd been married less than a year when Gavin returned to the country and specifically transferred to our hospital. From then on, they constantly flirted right in front of me. Whenever I questioned it, she'd accuse me of being paranoid.

But now, she was actually suggesting ending it all?

A flash of stiffness crossed Gavin's face, but Wynona missed it.

She turned away, her tone softening. "I need to return to my family eventually. I gave him money last time, and I've really neglected him these past few years. To be honest, I feel quite guilty about it."

Gavin looked at her in disbelief. "You don't want me anymore?"

"I don't know." Her eyes darted away, her frown deepening. "It's just that ever since leaving Everett's place, I've felt uneasy, like something terrible is about to happen."

She paused, then her tone became resolute again. "But I will definitely see this through for you. I won't stand by and watch you go to prison. I'm going to find him right now. Wait for my news."

With that, she turned and left, her retreating figure radiating determination and resolve.

Gavin remained standing there, motionless.

The pitiful, vulnerable act from moments before had completely vanished.

I could clearly see his eyes had turned cold as a poisoned blade.

And what escaped through his clenched teeth was actually my name.
