How could this be possible?Not long after my wife divorced me,she married someone else.Living with me,every time she saw me,it would always remind her of our deceased son.However,last year,she died of a serious illness due to depression,and I even went to visit her.
In a state of uncertainty, I answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"David,the anniversary is coming soon.We want to go and pay our respects to Michael with you."
It was indeed her voice.
I was silent for a long time.
On the other end of the phone,she seemed a bit anxious and continued,"Yes,I know it's my fault.Michael asked me for help back then,but I was busy with work at the company.I've been living in guilt all these years..."
"When you divorced me,I accepted it too..."
"Even if you don't forgive me,at least for Michael,we should go and see him together,right?"
Listening to my wife's words that seemed out of place,I immediately realized that the result had been changed!
My wife,who was originally supposed to die of illness,didn't die,and the divorce became something I proposed.
"Okay."I agreed decisively.
I drove to the cemetery.From afar,I saw my wife standing at the gate,wearing a black dress.Different from the gentle person in my memory,she now looked very cold and thin.It was obvious that she hadn't had a good time these years.
Surprisingly,the husband she mentioned didn't come with her.I understood with a little thought.After all,this was the child of me and her,and it was such a tragic incident.As an outsider,he really wasn't suitable to be present.
When she saw me,my wife's originally calm expression instantly crumpled.She sobbed and said,"I...I'm sorry to you.If it weren't for me..."
My wife looked extremely broken.These emotions had been pent up in her heart for a long,long time.
"Calm down.I might have a way to save our son."I comforted her.
Since her fate could be changed and she could come back to life,then our son could too.
"Are you crazy?How could the dead come back to life!"My wife simply didn't believe it.When I said such a strange thing,she thought I might have lost my mind.
I didn't care.I took out the file and handed it to her,saying,"Look at the words on it.These are the conversations between me and Michael.Originally,you were already dead,but now you're alive.Then our son can be saved too."
My wife only glanced at it a few times before angrily throwing the file on the ground.
"David,even if you resent me,you don't have to use such means!You're crazy!"
She left angrily.
I knew this matter was unimaginable,and it was normal for her not to believe it.But I was still excited.
As long as I could save my son through this file,our family could live a happy and peaceful life as before,and my wife wouldn't leave me either.
I had to save our son and save this relationship!
I took action as soon as I thought of it.This time,I told Michael to call his mother and ask her to put aside everything at hand and rush to his side.Then I told him to find a place to hide.
Don't hide in the classroom.It's better to find a more hidden place.I thought for a while and continued,"If you're caught by someone,you must try your best to see who he is."
As long as we knew who he was,perhaps many things would be easily solved,whether in the present or in the past time and space.
In the anxious waiting,time passed minute by minute.The file was updated again.
My son was still found and died in the same way.But before that,he left a sentence.
—Dad,the one who caught me is Mom!
