Author: Fantastic Time
"This is wonderful. You're still alive, Katherine."

I frowned slightly. "Let go, James. Your wounds have split open again!"

But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't free my hand from his grip. Impatience simmered within me as I raised my voice. "I said, let go!"

James was stunned by my outburst as he let go of my hand in a daze. I rolled my wrist as I changed the subject. "Why are you here?"

"I… I came here to get rid of the bandits, but I got caught in one of their traps. I didn't want you to face the same danger you did in your past life. That's why I'm here."

I immediately understood that James had also been reborn after listening to his explanation.

After seeing my response, he carefully asked, "Katherine… Were you also reborn?"

I remained emotionless as I changed his bandages. "Don't make any sudden movements, and don't let your wounds get wet. You should also try your best to stick to a clean diet for the time being."

The light in James' eyes gradually dimmed. He sudden

    My voice was calm when I spoke. "We never got married, so we have nothing to do with each other. It's useless for you to kidnap me."One of the men scoffed in response. "You're a stubborn little bitch, aren't you? Our insider told us that you're the person James loves the most. I want to see exactly how far Captain Wesley will go for his woman."I couldn't help but feel like history was repeating itself. I wanted to struggle, but I also knew that it would be a pointless endeavor.I decided to plan ahead instead. If James made an appearance, I would rather kill myself than be in his debt.However, what I didn't expect was for Luke to arrive on the scene first. When the abductors were cursing at each other, he snuck behind them before lunging at them, starting a fierce battle between both sides.Realizing that they were no match for Luke, one of the abductors pulled out a knife and lunged at me. "Even if I have to die, I'm taking you with me!" he screamed.Hopelessness washed over

    James lifted his head, his eyes shining with anticipation.I shook my head slowly. "How are you going to repay me for the life that you owe me?"James broke down completely upon hearing my words. "I'm sorry, Katherine. I'm so sorry."I wasn't bothered enough to listen to his apologies anymore. I turned around and exited the ward. I made sure to keep my distance from him for the next few days. Luke, who always dropped by the hospital to look for me, noticed my odd behavior and couldn't suppress his curiosity for long. "Who's that injured man to you?""He's someone from my past. I don't want to talk about him," I said, shaking my head.Luke pressed his lips together before he cleared his throat and changed the subject. "We've known each other for quite some time now, Katherine. The truth is, I've always had feelings for you. Would you consider going out with me?"As I studied his reserved appearance, I realized that I wasn't surprised in the slightest by his confession. There

    When my parents were still alive, they had always wanted me to study medicine to save lives. By joining the medical team, I could work hard to strive toward this goal. Thanks to my exceptional foundation and character, which were tempered after living two lives, I successfully joined the hospital staff.I would diagnose patients, research new medications, and create different types of treatment proposals every day from the moment I woke up. Life was simple but meaningful.However, transport was inconvenient here, especially when I had to make a house call. There was once when I spent too much time with a patient, so the sky was already darkened when I finally left his house.I couldn't help but notice how dark and gloomy my surroundings were during my journey back. My heart felt like it had been frozen solid when I suddenly saw greenish lights gleaming in the dark that were getting closer and closer to me. I had attracted the attention of a pack of wolves and had unknowingly bee

    "Shut up!" James roared.His eyes were bloodshot as he tightened his grip around Emily's neck. "Katherine isn't dead! She's just hiding because she's angry! You damned bitch. It's all your fault for seducing me time and time again—"James couldn't finish his sentence, not when he knew how ridiculous his flimsy excuse was.Fear finally began to spread through Emily when she realized how difficult it was getting for her to breathe. She struggled against James' hold and begged for his forgiveness. "I was wrong, James. Please let me go."Just then, a rough and masculine voice resounded from outside. "Emily Hill! Don't think that I don't know that you're hiding here! How dare you seek out another man after spending my money, you bitch."The newcomer was the son of a factory owner in town. He kicked the door open, frowning when he laid eyes upon the scene. "I didn't know you liked to mess around with another man's woman, Captain Wesley. "Aren't you afraid of your reputation being drag

    The guard hesitated for a moment before speaking. "We've verified the situation, Captain Wesley. There was a car on the bridge when it collapsed. Ms. Erikson was in that car…"He then handed a death certificate and a marriage application to James.James numbly accepted both documents. His eyes widened like saucers when he saw Emily's name on the marriage application. His voice was filled with disbelief as he muttered, "No. No, it can't be. Katherine loves me so much…"Tears streamed down James' cheeks and dripped on the document, turning the bright red stamp blurry. The papers were thin and weighed nothing, but at that moment, they felt unbearably heavy. Unable to control himself, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood before collapsing in a heap on the bed.…James had a very long dream. In the dream, I didn't die, and we got married without a hitch. However, we didn't have a happy married life. His dream self refused to see me because I was responsible for Emily's death, the
