The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 804

Leaving the dean’s office, Danielle felt a tight, suffocating weight in her chest.

Dean Channing’s words echoed in her mind—Academician Gresham’s accident, the forced marriage, the research career Alexander had abandoned. These fragments slowly pieced together a portrait of a man she had never truly known.

It even cast his coldness toward their daughter in a different light.

She remembered being sick with a fever in the middle of the night early in their marriage, only to wake up to find fever reducers and a glass of warm water on her nightstand. When she’d asked, Alexander had simply said the housekeeper prepared them.

After Niki was born, he rarely held her, but he had quietly padded the sharp corners of all the furniture in the house.

No wonder his affection had so suddenly turned to indifference.

She closed her eyes, trying to pinpoint the exact moment he had changed, wondering what could have possibly happened in the shadows of her awareness.

Danielle’s hand tightened around her phone.

She finally understood. Alexander’s deliberate coldness hadn’t been a rejection, but a desperate attempt to make her let go, to shield her from some unknown danger.

But this method of protection, this act of being “cruel to be kind,” felt like her heart was being torn apart. It was painful to be pushed away by the person you loved most, but knowing he was only pretending to be cold to protect you? That was a deeper, more profound kind of heartache.

Reaching her office door, Danielle paused and opened WhatsApp on her phone.

In her block list, there was only one name: Alexander.

She stared at it for a few seconds, her thumb hovering over the screen, before finally removing him from the list.

She clicked on his profile, but it was still empty.

Perhaps Alexander had changed his number, or maybe he had blocked her in return.

But would he block her on WhatsApp?

She backed out of his profile and tapped on the screen to initiate a money transfer—a trick to see if they were still contacts. The request didn’t bounce back with an error message.
