My daughter who died 5 years ago suddenly appeared in the garden. Then a shocking truth was revealed

mom I'm home standing before me as I was working in the garden was my daughter who should have died at the age of six 5 years ago I was seriously injured in a car accident along with my daughter I couldn't even get out of bed let alone attend my daughter's funeral that's why I couldn't say goodbye and was plunged into deep sorrow for a long time I stood there dumbfounded wondering if I was seeing a vision as I was too shocked to speak my grown daughter began to reveal a shocking truth actually at that time

after hearing her story I decided to send that person to hell my husband Ian started a company after marrying me when he first started the business I was struggling to manage the mortgage and living expenses of course I economized on food clothing and household goods wherever I could supporting him with all my might during that time our daughter Sophia was born and though it was tough we spent happy days together after about 4 years my husband's business started to take off and we gradually had a little more more financial breathing room it's all thanks to

you thank you I was genuinely happy to hear his words of gratitude and I felt I could work even harder my hobby at that time was gardening and my daughter always helped me water the plants Sophia was bright honest and a very lovely daughter I was proud of the time we spent together in in the garden under the warm sunlight was our special moment however that happiness didn't last long I started to feel lonely at home around the time Sophia turned six my husband spending habits became extravagant and he started coming home late more often

sometimes I could smell women's perfume on the suits he asked me to take to the dry cleaners I tried to convince myself that he had to socialize with business partners but the uneasy feeling wouldn't go away one day after dropping my daughter off at kindergarten and catching my breath I received a phone call from my husband I forgot some documents I need for a meeting today bring them to the office right away his voice sounded unusually flustered okay where are the documents they should be in the drawer of my desk in my room it's a

blue file hurry up and bring it the call ended before I could even respond I felt irritated by my husband's arrogant attitude as his work got on track and his income increased Ian changed until Sophia was about 2 years old no matter how busy he was he would take her to the park on weekends or play with her before even on ordinary days he would often buy clothes stuffed animals or toys to please our daughter however he gradually started going out on weekends with various excuses and stopped being involved in child care altogether more moreover

he began to say terrible things like who do you think you're able to live thanks to or if you have any objections say them after you earn as much as I do I found the documents in my husband's desk drawer and headed to Ian's company later I went out to buy a school bag for Sophia who was about to start Elementary School she was so adorable looking at various colorful bags and asking mom how about this one does it suit me I couldn't help but smile forgetting all my complaints about my husband as we spent

a lovely time together the light purple bag with the lace-like pattern was cute but the pink bag with the embroidery was lovely too on the bus ride home I smiled at the sight of my daughter sitting with her arms folded pondering with a serious face it's hard to decide isn't it we still have time so you can think about it carefully yes I'll find my absolute favorite after that we got off the bus at our usual stop and when we were about 5 minutes away from home I suddenly heard the loud engine sound of a

sports car in the distance when I turned around I saw a car speeding towards us I couldn't even scream all I could do was instinctively hug Sophia I heard the screams of passers by and the next moment I felt an incredible impact on my body before losing Consciousness the next time I opened my eyes I was in a hospital bed I saw a white ceiling and it took me a while to understand that I wasn't at home we were looking at bags on our way home then a car came towards us and then my whole

body achd just from breathing and I could barely move but all I could think about was my daughter's safety I pressed the nurse call Button enduring the pain and soon a nurse and doctor came running saying they would contact Ian apparently I had been asleep for 3 days 30 minutes later when he arrived at the hospital and entered the room he looked at me and muttered so you're alive then let out a sigh what about Sophia I asked my husband in aoar voice as he came to the side of the bed by the time I

got to the hospital she was already ready he told me without making eye contact seeming to look off into the distance when the ambulance arrived my daughter was already in critical condition and treatment didn't help in time no although I understood the meaning of his words I was too shocked to even cry it didn't feel real as if I was having a bad dream and while I I was in the hospital Sophia's funeral had already been completed a month after the accident when I was discharged and returned home the house was eerily quiet there was

only a smiling photo of Sophia in the living room unable to see my daughter's final moments I was consumed by Deep despair in the depths of my despair I couldn't do anything spent my days just crying I even lost all interest in gardening which I had loved so much why don't you try to look forward already Sophia won't rest in peace if you keep being like this my husband's words sounding exasperated reached my ears but I couldn't accept them I couldn't even imagine how to live a life without my daughter that's impossible no matter what

I did or where I went the hole in my heart couldn't be filled I kept remembering how my daughter used to help me with cooking folding laundry and watering the garden and tears would involuntarily flow perhaps disgusted by my state Ian started spending more nights away from home about 5 years after losing my daughter my heart had recovered enough to engage in my old hobby of gardening who would have thought that nurturing plants could be so healing sopia used to help me water the plants too there were many moments in my daily life when I

would suddenly remember Sophia but I no longer cried uncontrollably like before I was gradually overcoming the past and starting to think about the future on one such day just before noon I was out in the garden taking advantage of the good weather rearranging flower pots while considering different combinations that's when I heard a sound from the door connecting the parking lot to the Garden who could it be when I looked up there stood my daughter who was supposed to have died 5 years ago she had grown in to a young woman but I could still

see traces of the Sophia I remembered mom I'm home she called out hesitantly and I was too surprised to say anything I just stared at her in amazement unable to move wondering if I was dreaming or seeing some kind of Illusion how that was all I could say after a while Mom listen care carefully actually the shocking truth my daughter told me filled me with a rage I had never felt before everything had been orchestrated by Ian unforgivable I decided to send my husband to Hell from now on I would live for Sophia's happiness I

vowed not to cry anymore a few weeks later Ian was unusually spending his day off at home honey can I talk to you for a moment can you explain this I placed several photos in front of him as he was lounging on the sofa watching TV they showed my husband entering various houses and supermarkets with an unknown woman what are these I took them while following you I've been suspecting you of having an affair because you've been coming home late or not coming home at all more often he picked up the photos and laughed scornfully

since Sophia died you've been moping around with a gloomy face every day right it's only natural not to want to come home when I see that he tapped the photos with his finger and said brazenly this house is a place I'm renting near the office for work that woman is the housekeeper so of course she's going in and out of the house I see seeing my meek attitude my husband grinned confidently those photos don't prove anything he crossed his arms and leaned back seemingly emboldened well that might be fine but just as my husband looked

puzzled by my words my cell phone rang loudly I answered the phone without any explanation what now is this conversation over as he spoke irritably I showed him the video call screen and his face changed instantly hello Mom I had asked Sophia to call me huh what's going on actually when she came to visit me she had a smartphone hanging around her neck she told me that Ian was managing her cell phone so I came up with the idea of registering Sophia's and my numbers under fake names in each other's phones without Ian knowing and

asked for my daughter's cooperation I might have forgiven you for the affair but I can't forgive you for lying about Sophia's death I want you to confess everything faced with the intensity of my daughter on the phone and me my husband involuntarily stood up and stepped back I could see his eyes darting around clearly agitated what Sophia had told me that day was unfor iable when we had the accident I was severely injured and taken to a hospital with an intensive care unit but due to capacity issues my daughter was taken to a different hospital

Ian had lied to me saying our daughter died and to Sophia saying mom died furthermore around the time our daughter was discharged my husband rented a house in the neighboring Town saying it's better to be closer to the hospital for Sophia's Rehabilitation Sophia told me that soon after a woman started Living with you you told Sophia she was an acquaintance of yours who would take care of her didn't you as I questioned him sweat began to bead on my husband's forehead that's right I thought Sophia would be lonely if she was alone for long periods

so I hired that housekeeper in the photo but that's strange isn't it Sophia I asked looking at my daughter's face through the screen yes because Stephanie who dad brought as a housekeeper says mean things like she's going to marry dad and that I'm in the way apparently Stephanie who started Living in the same house always came home late at night and was asleep when Sophia left for school my daughter would prepare her own breakfast and go to school and by the time she returned home Stephanie would leave for work Stephanie didn't do any housework at

all and although Ian sometimes brought food home Sophia ended up doing most of the housework herself when Dad wasn't around Stephanie told me to tell you to get a divorce quickly that's when I started to think that maybe Mom was still alive my daughter had come to check on me by herself taking trains and buses asking passers by for directions along the way I don't want to live with that person anymore as Sophia pleaded with a face on the verge of tears my heart achd dad has been lying to me all this time saying that

Mom was dead I can't trust dad anymore thinking about how much she must have endured living like that I felt that I absolutely couldn't let her suffer anymore pushed by my daughter's words I took out more photos I have these too they showed Ian and Stephanie walking arm in-arm entering pubs and hotels the stores in those photos were the same ones I had seen on a business card that fell out of his suit jacket pocket when he once asked me to take it to the dry cleaners Stephanie works at this store doesn't she my husband's

eyes widened at those words you've been betraying me and having an affair since 5 years ago I glared at Ian as I said this his face turned red as he realized his lies had been exposed and he started trembling suddenly he slammed his fist on the table and crumpled the photos in his hand startled by his sudden action I stiffened and my enraged husband threw the photos at me call the police feeling threatened by Ian's Behavior I pleaded with my my daughter and ended the call what don't be ridiculous everything's ruined because you two are

alive my husband now in a frenzy approached me with a look I had never seen before I was supposed to send you both to the other world and live happily with Stephany stunned by his unexpected words I was at a loss it turns out that the accident Sophia and I had been in was not an unfortunate incident apparently he had hired an acquaintance of Stephan's to run us over with a car when we were seriously injured but our lives were not in danger he was forced to change his plans and ended up living a double

life between our home and his mistress's house of course the story about having completed our daughter's funeral was also a lie if you two had died in the accident as planned I would have gained sympathy from everyone around me and even collected the insurance money my husband's face contorted as he clenched his fists too bad your plan didn't work out I can't live with you anymore I've already consulted a lawyer and you're going to pay alimony and child support properly enraged by my words he actually picked up the remote control from the table and threw

it at me as I dodged it the remote hit the wall with a loud bang just as Ian shouted don't run away and grabbed a vase we heard the sound of sirens in the distance suddenly panicked he looked out the window and started to get flustered did you really call the police is Sophia planning to turn me in Ian's face turned pale please don't do this don't do this I'll lose everything my company Stephanie everything think hard about what you've done while you're in prison disgusted that even in this situation he didn't mention my or

our daughter's names I coldly declared as footsteps approached and police officers entered the room a panicked Ian actually threw the vase he was holding at them stay back stop the officers skillfully restrained my husband who resisted violently until the very end thanks to our daughter's report and her actions he was taken away after that I divorced Ian and received a lumpsum payment of $300,000 for alimony child support and division of property his company was in an uproar the day after his sudden arrest I received numerous phone calls but I simply stated the facts calmly Ian

ended up losing everything his family and his social credibility he must be regretting his actions now but even if he realizes it's too late to make amends it's already over for him I moved with my daughter and started a new job beginning our new life I feel happy every day knowing that my daughter is there when I come home we're having macaroni and cheese for dinner tonight I said as I set the table and Sophia beamed saying yay such ordinary conversations and my daughter's smile are my greatest treasures
