When Love Turns to AshChapter 1
My mom lay on the hospital bed, delirious, muttering Kate's name.
Tears streamed down my face as I called my wife.
When she picked up, Kate impatiently said she was busy in a meeting and would call back later.
I could hear the laughter of a man in the background.
As the call ended, the heart monitor flatlined.
My mom closed her eyes and took her last breath.
While I was in the depths of grief, Kate's childhood friend Peter posted a new update on social media, tagging a location at a five-star hotel.
The photo showed them holding hands, the matching couple bracelets on their wrists shining brightly.
"If love lasts, why do we need to be together every day and night?"
At that moment, my heart completely died.
Wiping away my tears, I liked and commented on the post.
"Since the atmosphere is so perfect, why not get married? Then you can be together every day and night, fulfilling your wishes."

After handling my mom's funeral alone, I returned home and sat silently on the sofa for an entire day and night, thinking about many things.
At eleven o'clock at night, Kate Walsh finally came home.
Seeing that I was still awake, she looked surprised.
