The Mistress I Buried Became My Wife’s Best Friend

Five years ago, Nina told me to divorce my wife and marry her, or she would expose our relationship. I agreed.

Then I poisoned her in the water, burned her to ashes, and buried her two meters underground. She was an orphan, and after she died, there wasn’t even anyone to report her missing.

And my wife, Mia, knew nothing about any of this. So why was she suddenly bringing up Nina? Had she found out something?

Seeing the panic all over my face, Mia blinked in confusion. “Why are you reacting like that?

Aren’t you and Nina good friends?” “Because of that connection between you two, she took such good care of me.” “The time I accidentally fell and almost miscarried, she was the one who called the doctor in time and saved our baby.” I watched Mia carefully.

I found that she had no intention of testing me at all. She was just naturally telling me what happened. I knew Mia very well. Her thoughts were always written on her face.

She didn’t have the skills to act. That meant she didn’t know about my affair with Nina. She mentioned Nina only because Nina had helped her. No, that was wrong!

A deep chill suddenly washed over me! Nina was dead! “Mia, are you mistaken? I’ve never known anyone named Nina.” “What is that Nina you’re talking about? What does she do?

What does she look like?” The confusion in Mia’s eyes deepened. “That can’t be.

Nina kept telling me that when she was on a business trip in New York five years ago, you helped her out a lot.” “She messed up a project and then got sick, and since you saw her as a fellow countrywoman and felt sorry for her, you not only paid for her medical bills, but also helped her smooth things over with the client....” My back went cold, and I clenched my palm hard.

This really was my past with Nina! That year, I went to New York on a business trip and happened to meet Nina. She looked a lot like my first love from years ago.

Seeing how miserable she was, I couldn’t help feeling pity for her and lent a hand. And then we slowly got together. I had already made it clear to her that I had a family.

I could help her life and her career, but that was all. Nothing more could happen between us. She agreed, but later changed her mind. She was too greedy.

She actually wanted to marry me, and she threatened me! I had no choice but to kill her, and I checked her phone to make sure she hadn’t spread our secret.

In other words, other than the two of us, no one knew about that hidden relationship. But now, those very things were coming out of my wife Mia’s mouth!

The way she described Nina was very similar to how I remembered her. But I didn’t believe the dead could come back to life.

Someone had to be messing with this! “Mia, you said Nina was a nurse at the hospital?” I pretended to remember her a little and tried to test Mia. “Next time you go to the hospital for a checkup, can you ask Nina to come out so I can meet her?”

I had to find out who this woman pretending to be Nina was! She knew some of my history with Nina, and she had gotten close to Mia, but she still hadn’t done anything outrageous.

That meant there was still room to negotiate. What she wanted was probably hush money. I needed to shut her up as soon as possible! Everything I had came from Mia.

If Mia found out I had once betrayed her, I would lose everything. “Darling, I’m just going in for a postpartum checkup.

Why are you so nervous?” On the way to the hospital, I felt icy cold all over, but my palm was sweating on the steering wheel. Mia noticed something was off.

I forced out a smile and brushed it off. “Nothing. Work’s been too busy lately. I just haven’t had enough rest.” After getting promoted to general manager, I almost had no time off.

Even when Mia was hospitalized during her pregnancy, I was out of town on a business trip and didn’t have time to stay with her.

This was also my first time going to the hospital where she gave birth. I found out that this hospital had only been built recently, and the address.......

It was built right on the patch of empty land where I had once buried a body! “My dad is way too inconsiderate. He’s using you like a workhorse!

I’m going to talk to him and make him give you a few days off.” Listening to Mia complain, I couldn’t help smiling. “It’s not Dad’s fault. I can handle it.

I just won’t have time to stay with you.” “Oh, right—” My whole mind was on the woman pretending to be Nina, and I deliberately acted like I had just remembered something. “Did you make an appointment with Nina?

Since you have time today, you might as well meet her.” Mia shook her head. “No. I forgot to leave her contact info.” “But she’s a nurse at this hospital.

We can just go look for her directly.” Whenever Nina came up, Mia immediately narrowed her eyes, looking like she really liked her. “Nina is not only pretty, but she’s also really kind to me, and her style is so good too!

I get along great with her, and we already agreed that she’d be the baby’s godmother at the onemonth party.” “You don’t mind, right?

After all, she did save the baby’s life.” I gripped the steering wheel hard, not knowing how to answer.

I couldn’t understand why the woman pretending to be Nina was so close to Mia. If she wanted money, just letting me know she existed would be enough.

Did she really want to be the baby’s godmother and use this secret to blackmail me for the rest of my life? I was even more desperate to see her now!

After Mia finished her checkup, we immediately found the head nurse and asked whether Nina was there.

But the head nurse seemed not to know this person at all, and looked confused. “Nina?

What Nina?” “There isn’t even anyone named Nina in our hospital!” Mia’s eyes widened. “Huh?” “That’s impossible!” “The nurse who took the best care of me here was Nina!” Mia came from a welloff family, and her dad had some connection with the hospital director.

The head nurse took Mia seriously and called over all the nurses who had taken care of her. Not one of them looked like Nina.

Mia frowned and shook her head. “Were these nurses all on day shift?” “I remember now. Nina worked the night shift.

She was an orphan, small and thin, with a little baby fat, and she even had cute dimples.” After Mia finished speaking, not only the head nurse, but all the nurses there shook their heads in unison.

They said they had never seen the person Mia described. In other words, there was no nurse named Nina at this hospital!

Her identity really was fake. Even the nurse part was just a disguise to get close to Mia. That made me even more uneasy.

Because Mia seemed even more concerned about Nina now, and she firmly believed Nina wouldn’t lie to her. She asked to check the records of every nurse at the hospital.

The head nurse was a little embarrassed, but because of Mia’s status, she still took us to look. The result was just as expected.

None of the records matched the Nina in Mia’s memory. “Miss Mia, did you remember wrong?” “The Nina you’re talking about, could she have been another patient’s family member who kindly took care of you a few times?” Faced with the head nurse’s question, Mia shook her head hard and answered firmly. “No way!” “She wore a nurse’s uniform and kept saying she was a nurse.

Could I really mistake a living person that easily?” “Oh, right!” “One time I accidentally fell, and Nina was the one who called the doctor for me. Do you remember that?

At least the doctor who rushed over to save me then must have seen her!” As Mia’s voice fell, a strange expression appeared on the head nurse’s face. “Miss Mia, on the day you had the accident....... no one called a doctor for you.” “It was security that noticed your condition through the cameras, which was how you were saved in time and the baby was protected.” “Why don’t you go get checked out?

See if you’ve developed postpartum syndrome and started hallucinating?” Mia froze on the spot. “Hallucinations?” She seemed to be lost in thought, and murmured hoarsely, “It does seem like no one besides me has seen her.

She always appears alone at night.” “And I’d never seen her before, but she seemed to know me and know a lot about me.” “Could she really be someone I imagined?” It could never be a hallucination!

How could Mia just imagine Nina out of nowhere? Not only was the name the same, but even her appearance and background were very similar!

I was certain someone was pulling strings behind this, and I shouted out in excitement, “What bullshit hallucinations? Mia is fine.

Someone is definitely playing tricks here!” My shout startled everyone. Mia pressed a hand to her chest and looked at me. “Darling, why are you so worked up?

The medical conditions are really good now. Even if I really had some kind of problem, it can be treated.” That was when I realized I had gotten a little too worked up.

The reflection on the wall showed my eyes red and bloodshot.

But I just couldn’t calm down. “Mia, I’m worried someone with bad intentions is getting close to you.” “Head nurse, take us to see the security footage right now!” If that woman pretending to be Nina had really appeared, she would definitely have left traces.

When we got to the security room, I pulled up all the footage that had Mia in it. But I still couldn’t find any sign of “Nina”!

Mia said that on the day she accidentally fell, “Nina” found her, went over to check on her, comforted her for a while, and only then went to call the doctor.

But the footage showed Mia talking to empty air! At that instant, it felt like I had fallen into an ice cellar, and every hair on my body stood on end! The Nina Mia saw.......

What exactly was she?
