“What do you mean by that?” Ethan asked, his brows furrowing in confusion. He couldn’t fully grasp the meaning behind Lily’s words. A second life? How is that even possible?

However, the serious expression on her face told him that she wasn’t joking. Her eyes pleaded silently, asking him to trust her, to believe in whatever she was about to reveal–even if it seemed strange or beyond

reason.

Ethan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm the whirlwind of thoughts in his mind. Holding her hands firmly in his, he leaned forward and pressed a gentle kiss to her lips. “Lily,” he said softly, “no matter what you tell me, I’ll believe you.”

Her eyes widened slightly, her nervousness still evident. “Really?” she asked hesitantly, her voice trembling.

He nodded without hesitation, his gaze steady and reassuring.

Encouraged by his words, Lily took a deep breath, steeling herself to reveal the truth she had hidden for so long. “Ethan,” she began, her voice shaky but determined, “what I’m about to tell you might sound irrational or even impossible, but it’s the truth. This is my second life–I’ve been reborn.”

She paused, watching his expression carefully. “I don’t know how or why it happened, but it did. Somehow, I was given a second chance to live. You’re my husband, Ethan, and after everything we’ve shared–our connection in heart, body, and soul–I couldn’t keep this secret from you anymore. I had to tell you.”

Her voice broke slightly as she asked, “Do you believe me? Or do you think I’ve lost my mind?”

Ethan didn’t flinch or hesitate. “Of course, I believe you,” he said firmly, his voice steady and warm.

“You do?” she asked, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.

“Without a doubt,” he assured her, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. “And there are three reasons for that. First, because I love you. Second, because I know you would never lie to me. And third- the most important reason–because it’s you, Lily. I’ll always believe you, no matter what.”

Hearing his words, Lily couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. A smile broke through her trembling lips as she felt the weight of her secret lifting.
