He Came Back to Life, But She Was Gone

During their honeymoon, a fire broke out at the shopping mall. To ensure his wife, Akina, escaped safely, Takanori Aizawa turned back into the roaring flames. “I’ll definitely come back. Wait for me.” Akina waited. She waited at the evacuation center all through the night and into the next day. However, what returned to her was the news of her husband’s death at the morgue. The build, the clothes, the identification, and even Akina’s handbag—everything pointed to Takanori. Akina identified the body. After returning home, persuaded by their parents, she submitted the divorce papers. “You’re still young. We want you to live a new life.” That was their act of love toward her. Several months passed. Akina started a new job and was gradually reclaiming a sense of normalcy. “Takanori is gone.” By convincing herself of this, she tried to move forward. Yet, in a hospital in a distant foreign land, a man opened his eyes. Having spent months as an unidentified disaster victim, the man was alive. His name was Takanori Aizawa. Akina’s former husband. What he learned was that he had been declared dead and that his wife had already finalized the divorce. Takanori realized that Akina was beginning a new life. And that was precisely why he made his decision: he would never contact her again. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: He Came Back to Life, But She Was Gone — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
