The story develops here, everything is like an ordinary and vulgar love story, a widow in deep pain is moved by a shadow-like man who is actively courting, and then opens up her heart and the two begin to passionately linger. It's just that at this time, she herself may not be able to tell whether the passion comes from love or just psychological needs.
Just as she offered to offer a longing kiss, the passion was suddenly interrupted by Paul, and she was told that the strange man in front of her was beating his husband's heart in his chest. She froze for a moment, suddenly feeling sick and hysterical, and she yelled and kicked Paul out. The next morning, when the calm sun shone through the window, she opened the curtains and found Paul's car still parked downstairs, her heart skipping a beat. Next, she sat next to Paul, listened to Paul's explanation calmly, and lay gently on Paul's chest listening to his heartbeat. They start having sex. She stroked the long scar on his chest. It must feel strange, having sex with a lover who has her husband's heart in it.
One thing is strange. When Jack Jordan just surrendered, her girlfriend urged her to sue him. She said lightly that what would happen if she sued him, and her family couldn't come back to life. After Paul took her to the labor camp to see Jack Jordan, she gritted her teeth and said she wanted to kill him and asked Paul to avenge him. Undersea needle, really hard to understand.

According to the investigation, they came to the motel where Jack Jordan lived after running away from home, rented a room and waited for the opportunity to start. Early in the morning, Paul left the sleeping Christina alone. He used a gun to force Jack Jordan into a wilderness, a perfect opportunity, and Jack gave up his resistance, but after the gunshot, his muzzle was not aimed at Jack Jordan. We have no way of knowing his mental activity at this time, maybe he hated Jack Jordan far less than Christina, maybe he didn't hate Jack at all, because his second life was somehow more thanks to him.
