I’m Just a Scapegoat in Their Perfect Family

Summary

After the car crash, the two men in my life completely changed. My husband, who used to be utterly cold towards me, actually knelt down in public, desperately begging me not to leave him. My son, who had always been distant, now clung to me all day, demanding hugs and kisses.

I was completely bewildered, my legs trapped by one of them, unable to move. Just then, strange words floated before my eyes. Some said I shouldn't flatter myself, thinking they, father and son, had fallen in love with me. Others explained that their sudden kindness was a ploy, intending to use me as a shield, to die in place of the so-called heroine. Once the villains were dealt with, I, the side character, would be useless, and their family of three could live happily ever after.

Seeing these words sent a cold sweat down my spine. I pushed away the two men, one large and one small, who were clinging to my legs.
