He Hated His Mute Wife, Until She Died to Save Him

I married a mute girl who was nothing but a stand-in. For three years, I treated her with absolute coldness.

On the day she died, she left me with only three things: a voice recorder, a diary, and a sign language translator.

That was when I finally learned—

She was the little girl I rescued when I was ten.

She was the savior who pulled me out of the car wreck when I was seventeen.

She was the wife who had loved me silently for twenty years.

And I was the one who personally drove her to her death.
