I Saw His Ghost And Decided To Marry Him Chapter 08

As the standoff dragged on, Mrs. Ford Sr. looked embarrassed and quietly reminded me, “I’ve never seen my son eat durian. He watches his diet 

closely, so he usually avoids high–sugar fruit like that.” 

“Rowan, I understand that you feel wronged, but given the situation…” 

The more I listened, the heavier my heart sank. 

So the spirit had given me the wrong information. after all? Had I been confident for nothing? 

“Rowan, I know you’re a good girl, but my son’s fiancée is still Savannah. Some things aren’t 

entirely up to us.” 

“Let’s just do what we agreed on, all right? That way, this won’t turn ugly, and you won’t be embarrassed in front of everyone.” 

Mrs. Ford Sr. probably couldn’t bear to watch me make a fool of myself. 

She transferred $75,000 to me on the spot and said that after I left, she would contact me again 

and give me additional compensation later. 

It was already a large amount of money. 

It was enough for me to leave this place, go back 

to school, finish the degree program I had always dreamed of, and maybe even continue my studies 

abroad. 

But as I looked at Preston’s familiar yet unfamiliar face, all I felt was a bitter sense of unfairness. 

Why? 

I even remembered how his spirit had kept 

whispering encouragement in my ear. 

“Having me remember you and acknowledge what 

you did is the reward you deserve, Rowan. Are you really willing to keep letting Savannah bully you 

like this?” 

“If I don’t remember when the time comes, you still have to be tougher and tell the truth. Don’t be weak and let Savannah steal everything that belongs to you again, or I’ll look down on you!” 

When I thought of those words, a little more courage somehow rose inside me. 

At that moment, I saw Preston narrow his eyes as 

if he wanted to say something but couldn’t quite 

get it out. 

Savannah was practically glowing with smugness. 

She grabbed Preston and shouted, “See? This 

woman is just a fraud. I’ll help you get rid of her 

right now.” 

She shot my parents a look. 

My parents were eager to act, and just like 

countless times before, they moved to throw me 

out. 

But in the next second, Preston, who had 

recovered a little more strength, actually snapped 

at Savannah. 

“Shut up.” 

That was the first time since Preston had woken 

up that I saw clear disgust in his eyes. 

That one command gave me courage too. 

I said firmly, “Preston clearly has something to say to me. Until he tells me himself to leave, I’m not 

going anywhere.” 

Mrs. Ford Sr. hadn’t expected me to have such a 

strong side. 

Along with surprise, a hint of appreciation 

appeared in her eyes. 

Preston stared coldly at Savannah until she 

unwillingly moved away from the bedside. 

Then he lifted his finger toward me again. 

“Come here. Read me a couple of financial news 

briefs.” 

Savannah and I realized it at the same time. 

Preston hadn’t believed Savannah’s story. 

He must have had vague memories, but he wasn’t 

sure. 

That was why he wanted to recreate certain 

scenes and use them to uncover the truth. 

Savannah was so anxious she nearly lost control. 

“Preston, what’s the point of this? I’m your fiancée. 

Everyone knows we were about to get married.” 

“If your own fiancée wasn’t the one taking care of 

you, then are you saying it was some woman you 

barely know?” 

“She did come to the hospital room, but at most, 

she was a care aide I brought in to help. That 

doesn’t change our engagement, Preston, you-” 

This time, it was Mrs. Ford Sr.’s turn to tell 

Savannah to shut up. 

She couldn’t stand Savannah’s ugly behavior 

anymore and told her to either shut up or get out. 

immediately. 

I seized the opportunity and skillfully took the 

tablet from the bedside table, then focused 

completely as I read the financial news to Preston. 

I deliberately used the same tone and rhythm I 

usually used, and as I read, I even added a few of 

my own odd little explanations. 

Preston’s expression didn’t change at all. 

Savannah’s face, however, grew uglier and uglier. 

After I finished reading the news, Preston had 

recovered even more strength. 

He signaled for the doctors to raise the head of his bed so he could sit upright. 

Then he stared hard at Savannah and me and 

asked sharply, “I’ll ask one more time.” 

“Who was the person taking care of me for the 

past six months?”
