My Husband Poured His Mother-in-Law's Ashes into the Toilet1
During a heavy rainstorm, my husband abandoned my mother-in-law on the highway to accompany his internet-famous lover for a livestreaming.
As a result, my mother-in-law had a heart attack and passed away before reaching the hospital.
Because his lover was upset, my husband hung up on my mother-in-law's last call before she died.
I received a call from the hospital, and despite having a high fever, I dragged myself there. When I arrived, my mother-in-law was still tightly clutching the phone that had been cut off.
With tears in my eyes, I called my husband, only to unexpectedly see their livestream on a nearby big screen.
On the screen, my husband was holding hands with his lover, saying, "Being in love with you is the luckiest thing in my life."

"If only the patient had been brought here a little earlier, there could have been hope, but unfortunately..." the doctor said, looking at my drenched and dazed self with eyes full of pity.
My trembling hand signed the death certificate, and in a daze, I arranged my mother-in-law's funeral and brought her ashes home.
