Chapter 10 — The day I registered my marriage, I discovered that my husband had two lives

He called out. Just then... His eyes scanned the room. Then stopped. He saw To Uyen. Also saw... Another "Lam Trach" was standing on the opposite side. The air... In that moment, it completely froze. Hai Lam Trach. Stand facing each other. No one said a word. I felt even breathing became difficult. To Uyen was completely speechless. She leaned against the wall. His face was pale. Lam Trach, wearing a suit, spoke first. There was a hint of panic in his voice.

“Why are you here?”

Lam Trach did not respond. Just looked at him coldly. Those eyes... Like looking at something... That shouldn't have appeared.

“Is it…”

Lam Trach wore a vest as if he had just realized something.

“Has the timeline gone awry?”

My heart suddenly shook. The timeline is skewed. He also knows this concept. That means... This is no coincidence. It's a form of "abnormality" in their own system.

“I'm early.”

Lam Trach, dressed in casual clothes, spoke up. Very low voice.

“It's not like I'm early.”

Lam Trach, wearing a suit, frowned.

“But you're late.”

The two began to converse. It's like discussing a technical issue. As for the two of us... We were like onlookers watching from the outside. Even... Like variables in an experiment.

“What to do now?”

Lam Trach asked wearing a suit.

“What else can we do?”

Lam Trach, dressed in casual clothes, smiled coldly.

“It's been exposed.”

I can't bear it anymore.

“What exactly are you two talking about?”

The two of them turned to look at me at the same time. In that moment... I felt like I was locked in two identical eyes. Unpleasant to the point of suffocation. Lam Trach, wearing a suit, spoke up.

“I'll go with you first.”

I didn't move.

“This place is not safe.”

He replied. I smiled softly.

“So please explain…”

“Why are there two people?”

He was silent. At that moment... To Uyen suddenly spoke softly.

“You two…”

Her voice trembled.

“Is it... not just the two of you?”

The atmosphere immediately fell into silence. Hai Lam Trach. At the same time silent. The silence for that second... Scarier than any answer. My heart suddenly sank.

“What do you mean?”

No one answered. But I vaguely realized... Everything was much bigger than we imagined. At that moment... Footsteps were heard outside the door again. More steadfast. One step at a time. As if intentionally letting people in the room hear. The three people in the room simultaneously looked towards the door. The atmosphere was immediately tense like a string. Just then... The door opened slightly. The third person... The moment I saw that person... I almost stopped breathing. Not Lam Trach. An identical me. She stood at the door. Quietly look at everything in the room. His eyes stopped on me. Then she smiled softly. That smile... Made my spine go cold.

“What number are you?”

My whole body stiffened.

“What...what do you mean?”

My voice was dry. She walked in slowly. One step at a time. Until he stood right in front of me. The distance is very close. So close... I could clearly see every line on her face. There aren't any differences at all. Just like looking in a mirror. Just... Her eyes. Completely different. Be more alert. Even... More like an outsider observing. She looked at me and spoke softly.

“Don't stress.”

“You'll soon know…”

She paused for a moment. The corners of the lips curled slightly.

“You are not the only ‘you’.”

“You are not the only ‘you’.”

After she finished saying that sentence... I felt like someone poured a bucket of cold water straight from my head to my feet. Not out of fear. But because of awakening. An awakening... Cruel to the extreme. I stared at her. Looking at someone who is exactly like me... But clearly knows more than me.

“Who are you?”

She smiled softly.

“This question…”

“Actually, you already have the answer.”

I didn't speak up. It's true I knew. I just don't want to admit it.

“Then let me ask another way.”

I continue.

“What number are you?”

She thought for a moment. It's like he's seriously calculating.

“If we count by ‘version’…”

“So I am the third version.”

My heart suddenly sank. She looked at me. His eyes flashed with complexity.

“You are the seventh version.”

The whole room immediately fell silent. I feel... A string in my head just snapped. Seventh edition. That means... Before me... There were six other “me”s.
