She Skipped His Father's Funeral for Her Fake-Dying Ex

When my father lay dying, his one regret was that the Whitney family had gone five generations without a daughter to mourn him at his funeral.

My fiancée knelt at his bedside, holding his hand, and swore:

"Dad, a daughter-in-law is no different from a real daughter. I'm going to arrange the wedding and marry Eric Whitney right away!"

"You just focus on getting well and doing what the doctors say. I'll be here to care for you in your old age and see you off when the time comes. Your best days are still ahead of you!"
