On the way home during the May Day holiday, my parents had a car accident and died on the spot.
My husband rushed into the hall with our daughter at the funeral and pointed me as the murderer.
I had no chance to defend myself and he took out the inspection record of the accident vehicle.
It was stated that I tampered with the brake system and only my fingerprints were found on the car.
For a moment, I was deeply immersed in the vortex of public opinion and was subjected to online bullying.
All my relatives rushed up to me, punch and kick me and I died on the spot from excessive blood loss.
Until the moment I died, I still did not understand how could I be the murderer of my own parents?
As soon as I opened my eyes again, I returned to the day before the funeral.
——
My husband, Frederic Houten, was keeping vigil for me at home, sometimes kneeling and praying.
The sorrowful on his face brought my consciousness back from my previous life.
But he looked completely different from the one at the funeral whom pointed me as the murderer with his bloodshot eyes.
After eight years of marriage, our relationship was still as sweet as our first love.
Everyone around even envied me for finding a perfect partner.
But he was a man, a husband who was the first to rush out at the funeral of my parents in my previous life.
He did not give me a chance to defend myself and publicly accused me of killing my parents.
Fear and unease engulfed me.
In this reborn, I should find the real murderer and avenge my parents, Jeanette and Bernard Scmidt!
I should not let this case become the spark that destroyed our marriage.
In my previous life, the evidence he presented to the police was vehicle inspection records.
So, this time, I would just cancel the funeral and bury the bodies, then report the case to the police for inspection.
I was sure I could get away with it.
I immediately rushed forward and grabbed my husband's mourning clothes.
"Hubby, I want to cancel the funeral. I doubt my parents' death was an accident."
His face was full of surprise and turned pale with fright in an instant.
"What? How’s that possible?"
"Are you still too shocked? Didn't you also see the scene of the car accident? The driver said it was just an accident, so don't think too much. The funeral has been announced, how could you just cancel it?"
"Mom and Dad left without a word. How can you be worthy of them like this?"
Frederic always responded to my requests, but this time he unexpectedly rejected my idea.
I frowned at him suspiciously.
"The police haven't investigated yet, how do you know it must be an accident?"
"Calling the police won't cause any losses anyway. I can just arrange a funeral after the case is closed. Why are you so worry?"
He put away his expression, chuckled and held me in his arms to comfort him.
"Wifey, I know you can't accept the sudden death of your parents, but they are already left and the living have to continue living."
"Funeral is a big event. All our relatives are waiting at the hotel right now. If you suddenly cancel it, everyone will be dissatisfied and some people may even accuse you of being unfilial."
My opinions were refuted one after another and I could not help but lower my tone at this moment.
"Those are my parents, don't I have the right to decide?"
"Let them think whatever they want, but I'm going to call the police anyway!"
What a joke, my parents died in my previous life.
Those so-called relatives were eager to stand up and accuse me.
No one even considered, I was the only daughter of my parents and how sad it was for them to see me die unjustly in heaven.
Now, I was reborn, why should I consider the feelings of these outsiders?
"I'll pay for the hotel tonight and hire a car to take them back tomorrow morning. I'll take care of the burial myself. I don't need so many people."
At the end of my words, Frederic could not persuade me, so he had to get up and leave.
