Chapter 407
Even After Death
Amused by Chrisâ expression, Helen smirked. âHave you never thought that I couldâve staged my
death?â
âWhy?â He was hurt to hear that. âWhy did you stage your death? Where have you been these years?
What does it have to do with Toxic Hive?â
She softly chuckled at the righteous man. âYouâre as easy to fool as always. You havenât improved
despite so many years.â
âWhat do you mean?â
She slowly rose from her seat and caressed his cheek. âChris, oh, Chris. Do you know how long I have
waited for this day?â
The more Helen spoke, the more confused Chris became. He could not understand how that gentle
woman turned into this kind of person.
âI donât get what youâre talking about. Say, were you the one who orchestrated Marinaâs car accident?
Why did you do that to her? Sheâs your biological daughter!â
âBiological daughter?â She burst into laughter. âChris, we do have a child, but the child died long ago.

Chrisâ eyes widened as he clearly wasnât aware of that. âWhat did you say?â
She giggled. âYou sure do impress me sometimes. You care about nothing else other than Chloe.â
Tears were pooling in her eyes. âYou mightâve forgotten about the girl you saved during a war 30 years
ago.â
The young Chris fought a lot of wars to protect the country. He had saved a lot of helpless people, so
he couldnât quite remember.
Little did he know that Helen had fallen in love with him at that time.
Chris and Chloe grew up together. The only person he cared about was her.
When he went missing during a war, others thought that he was dead.
It was Helen who risked her life to save him. He barely survived death under her meticulous care.
Chris lost his memories because his head was injured during the explosion.
Helen knew that he would marry Chloe if she just let him go.
Thus, she didnât tell him the truth and had sex with him. She took care of him round the clock.
Thanks to her extraordinary medical skills, she was able to cure him. He then took her back to his
family.
Chris merely perceived her as his savior. He treated her well, but that wasnât love.
By the time Chloe came to pay him a visit, Chris and Helen were married.
After that, Chloe got married to Jeff in a fit of pique.
Helen thought that Chris would fall in love with her as long as she treated him well. After all, he was
only human.
However, she had underestimated Chrisâ love for Chloe.
He recovered his memories, and he didnât have feelings for her other than a sense of responsibility.
People saw them as a loving couple, but Helen was aware that he didnât want to touch her at all.
It was his way of protecting his innocence for Chloe. Helen found herself hilarious for not being able to
win his heart despite all that effort.
His cold treatment left scars on her.
It was not until Otto pressured Chris that he finally did the deed with her as a married couple.
Chris knew that she wanted a child.
Since he couldnât give her love, he decided to make up for it by giving her a child.
Helen thought that there might be a chance for her to win his heart after bearing his baby.
Yet, Chris left the country with the excuse of work after she got pregnant. He didnât come back for three
years.
The baby became her only ray of hope. Unfortunately, the baby died young.
Helen grabbed Chris by the collar. âDo you know how I felt when she slowly lost her vitality in my
arms?â
âWhy didnât you tell me?â Chris didnât know anything about it at all.
âWhy didnât I tell you? Would you even care when all you thought about was Chloe?â she cried.
