He Didn’t Look for Me Until I Was Dead (by Durrin) novel Chapter 12

After much persuasion, everyone finally managed to pull Calvin outside.

He was usually indiflèrent, and I had never seen him so agitated before.

I couldn’t help but stand there in a daze for a while.

Calvin sat alone, looking somewhat lonely.

Not long after, someone in a police uniform walked over and called him, “Captain McMullen.

The man looked up, his eyes as lifeless as stagnant water.

The person hesitated for a moment before continuing, “Because one of the victims is your wife, according to protocol, it’s best if you recuse yourself from this case.

“The department is giving you some time off. It’s just as well–you can… take care of your wife’s funeral arrangements.”

Upon hearing this. Calvin silently turned his gaze away, tacitly accepting the

After the person left, he finally stood up and walked toward the morgue.

But Calvin only stood silently outside the door and, in the end, never went in.

No one knew what was going through his mind at that moment.

arrangement.

***

After the evidence was collected, Calvin claimed my body and held a funeral for me.

Even our parents, who had always been indifferent to us, couldn’t help but shed tears when they saw my memorial photo.

I floated behind them, feeling only a sense of regret.

If only I could have experienced such intense emotions while I was still alive, how wonderful that would have been.

But it’s too late now. As I looked at my increasingly transparent body, I knew it in my heart.

I’m afraid that even my soul won’t be able to linger in this world for much longer.

After night fell and the guests had all left

Only Calvin was left in the mourning hall

Dressed in a simple black suit, he still looked handsome and upright

I couldn’t help but once again affirm my taste in choosing a husband. There was a reason I had loved him so deeply for so many years.

“But, Calvin.”

I spoke softly, “If there is a next time, I won’t choose you again.”

No matter how handsome the exterior, if the heart inside doesn’t belong to me, life loses its flavor.

Just then, a gust of wind blew by, and the flame of the eternal lamp flickered slightly.

Calvin hurried forward and carefully shielded the lamp with his hand.

That nervous look on his face was something I had never seen before.

I smiled bitterly, thinking to myself, so this is what it feels like to be cared for and worried about by him.

It’s just a pity that I’m already dead.

In the silence, Calvin suddenly looked at my memorial photo and spoke, “Whitney.”

I floated in front of him. Even though I knew he couldn’t hear me, I still responded, “What is it?”

Actually, I was also curious about what he wanted to say to me.

But after that, Calvin didn’t say anything more.

His thin lips were tightly pressed together, as if he was holding something back.

Just that one expression made my heart feel as if it had been struck by something.

But in the next second, I couldn’t help but warn myself that after everything I’d been through, after being hurt so many times, I couldn’t make the same mistake again.

No matter what feelings Calvin has for me now.

Whether it’s guilt or pity, it no longer has anything to do with me.

Thinking this, I couldn’t help but sigh softly, “Sigh…”

Unexpectedly, Calvin seemed to sense something and suddenly turned his head sharply in my

direction

At that moment. I finally saw the deep sorrow in his eyes.

Calvin’s eyes, which were usually indifferent, were now bloodshot. Even though only a few days had passed, stubble had suddenly grown on his face, making him look especially haggard and

weary

I was stunned for a moment, and just like before, I tried sighing again, “Sigh.”

Then I stared intently at Calvin’s face.

I saw his expression suddenly become alert as he asked, “Whitney, is that you?”
