Chapter 5 When it was Mia's turn , she directly processed her discharge . The nurse glanced at her medical chart , frowning deeply . " In your condition , if you insist on being discharged now , you could face life - threatening complications at any moment . " " Conservative estimate - three days at most . " The condition had worsened . Mia's lips curved slightly . Three days was plenty . Living even one more day felt like torture now . The nurse tried to say more , but Mia had already finished signing and left . Walking out of the hospital entrance , she dialed the funeral home , her voice calm without a ripple of emotion . " Move the schedule up . Three days from now . " She felt almost eager - finally she could reunite with her parents and grandmother . She would choose something she loved to wear , looking beautiful when she went to meet them . After hanging up , she made one last visit to the cemetery , then hailed a taxi to the mall . Various luxury brand stores lined the corridors , but she felt no interest in any of them . During her years as Mrs. Cross , she had to maintain dignity and wealth . Every piece of clothing , every piece of jewelry had to reflect her status . Even the colors of her dresses had to coordinate with Dominic's ties . she'd almost forgotten what she actually liked . And Dominic never cared about her preferences either . He'd buy entire seasonal collections to stuff into her walk - in closet , telling her that except for the stars and moon in the sky , he'd give her anything she wanted . But all she'd ever wanted from the beginning was his genuine heart . Her eyes scanned the window displays one by one , finally stopping on a white dress - so simple it had no extra decorations , just a hún silver belt at the waist that caught the light with a gentle glow . She imagined herself wearing this dress as she walked into the sea , her parents and grandmother smiling as they came to take her hands . She'd become her childhood self again - well behaved , happily going home together under their protection . Looking at the dress , her lips curved upward involuntarily . I'll take this one , Credit card . " But the moment she spoke , the dress was yanked from her hands with such force that Mia had to grab the counter to keep from being pulled down . " I really like this dress . I want it ! " 01:19 My ' Dead ' Huchand Chose We Chapter 3 Mia looked toward the speaker , her pupils trembling for an instant . Letty stood before her clutching the dress , no longer showing the timid deference from their previous encounters . Her head was held high , her eyes gleaming with triumph . The sales clerk looked between them awkwardly , saying gently to Letty . This lady saw the dress first , and it's our last one . Perhaps you could wait while I have headquarters transfer another one for you ? " Letty glanced at the clerk with displeasure . Me wait ? Are you joking ? " She turned to Mia with a mocking expression : Whatever I want , I get . Mia , what makes you think you're qualified to compete with me ? Do you deserve it ? " How does it feel being cursed by the entire internet ? Unpleasant , isn't it ? " Even Dominic believes it . He's disgusted by you now , finds you absolutely revolting . " Mia stared directly at her twisted face . She should have guessed this was all Letty's doing . he hated herself for not seeing through Letty sooner . She'd made a terrible mistake from the moment she first sponsored her . Letty , I don't think I've wronged you in any way . I paid for your education , gave you work - did that somehow wound your pride ? " Those were your handouts , like tossing scraps to a street beggar ! " etty's voice suddenly rose . You threw money at me from your high horse , like throwing a bone to a stray dog , then demanded my gratitude . " But why ?! Why were you born with everything while I was always beneath you , enduring contempt ! " You owe me all of this ! " Mia asked with a trembling voice : " So you deliberately framed my parents to drag me down from the clouds ? " etty's lips curved in a sinister arc as she leaned close to Mia's ear : That fraud case was my design from beginning to end . Your parents , those two fools , trusted me completely . They even let me keep he company seal . " Now your husband , your wealth , everything you're so proud of - it'll all be mine soon . " As for you , daughter of fraudsters , you'll forever be branded on the pillar of shame as a bully . Time for you to taste what I went hrough ! " Mia's entire body went rigid with rage , She stared hard at Letty's triumphant face , finally understanding what a venomous heart looked like . She said each word distinctly : " You'll get your comeuppance . " But Letty's expression suddenly changed . She threw the dress on the ground and collapsed dramatically , letting out a sharp scream : " 01:19 My ' Dead ' Husband Chees 0706 Chapter Don't " Mia . I won't dare anymore ! Please stop hitting me ! " Almost simultaneously , Dominic rushed into the store from outside . Letty immediately put on her pitiful expression , crying until her eyes were red with grievance . " Dominic , I fell by accident . Mia didn't push me - please don't misunderstand . " " But you kindly brought me shopping , and Mia misunderstood , saying I was seducing you and that I killed her parents and orchestrated the online harassment . " None of this has anything to do with me . Dominic , will you explain for me ? " Dominic's gaze fixed on Mia's pale face , his voice cold as ice . " What did you do to Letty this time ? " Mia knew that no matter what she said , he wouldn't believe her . He only believed Letty ! She turned her head away and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes . A crowd of onlookers had gathered , some raising phones as whispered conversations rose and fell . " Why does this woman look so familiar ? Oh right , she's that bitch who forced a pregnant woman to kneel and bullied people in school ! " " Vicious ! Now she's pushed the pregnant woman down again . If she miscarries , it could be two lives lost ! " With Dominic's support , Letty stood up , crying as she defended Mia : " Please don't misunderstand . She's just in a bad mood . When Mia's in a good mood , she can be nice to me too . " 4 middle - aged woman suddenly rushed out from the crowd , pointing at Mia and cursing : " My daughter was killed by people like you ! All bullies should go to hell ! " Those words lit the fuse . The crowd suddenly erupted into chaos . Someone threw their milk tea at Mia , white liquid dripping down her forehead to the floor . She kept trying to explain , but no one listened . Her voice was drowned in a sea of curses . More objects came flying at her , but Letty beside her was pulled protectively into Dominic's arms . " We're leaving / " He didn't spare Mia another glance , holding Letty tightly as if afraid the crowd might brush against her . But behind them , Mia was knocked to the ground by the mob , fists and feet raining down on her like hail . She curled into a ball , every inch of skin and bone aching until she trembled . 01:19 My ' Dead ' Husband Chose Wie Mietvoer Over He Duina Mom ? I Made Him Lose Both ! 8.9 % Chapter 3 " Beat her to death ! Let's see if she dares bully anyone again ! " " Revenge for the victims ! " Each cry for justice became a fist striking her body as she held her head , quietly repeating . " I didn't ... " Through gaps in the crowd , she saw her beloved dress being trampled by countless feet , its pure white fabric stained with dirt . Finally , consciousness began to fade . In the last moment before darkness fell , she dimly sensed mall security arriving to disperse the crowd . Dominic escorted Letty to the car , glancing through the rearview mirror at the chaotic mall entrance for just an instant of hesitation . " Dominic , Mia brought bodyguards . They'll protect her . " Letty grasped his hand , suddenly curling up in pain . " My stomach hurts so much . I wonder if being pushed down by her just now affected the baby . " Dominic immediately started the car and floored the accelerator , leaving the mall and heading straight for the hospital . 01:19
