Chapter 5 Between Two Lives

Author: A Fleeting Cloud
Vincent had been the one hosting this gathering. But the moment they found out who I truly was, their attitudes shifted. The same eyes that had fawned over Vincent now sought my attention, peppering me with concern and polite questions. And all of this happened in just a few minutes.

"I can't believe Lucas actually married the richest woman in town! Sophie had wanted to hand him a check. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Right? She thought his ex would be miserable, and instead, he found someone even better."

"Wasn't Vincent going to help him get a job as a manicurist or something? Lucas is a lead surgeon at Aston Central Hospital. He doesn't need anyone recommending jobs! Isn't that laughable?"

"Lucas, how come you didn't tell any of us about your wedding? We could've gotten you a big gift!"

I watched my old classmates, who had barely acknowledged me before, suddenly acting all friendly and familiar. It struck me as absurd. Still, I kept my tone polite, maintaining a veneer of civility.

    "I hope she can accept treatment and stop bothering me," I said.The two of them nodded apologetically, their faces heavy with regret.Soon after, Sophie was transferred to another hospital and never contacted me again.The next time I heard about her was a call from her mother."Lucas, Sophie is not going to make it. She wants to see you. Can you come?"I stayed silent for a long moment. Finally, my voice hoarse, I said, "Okay."I hung up.At that instant, I wanted to recall all the moments we had shared in our past life, but nothing came back. Time really could erase everything.When I saw Sophie again, she was unrecognizable, so thin her cheekbones jutted sharply, her face barely human.Her eyes stared blankly out the window, only lighting up the instant I stepped into the room.She glanced at her frail body and let out a self-mocking laugh. "Lucas, I must look terrible like this, right?"I didn't answer.She went on, voice trembling. "I'm sorry. I was so insecure back t

    "And one more thing. Marrying you in my past life was the biggest mistake I ever made. I don't love you anymore, and I don't want to have children with you. Stop clinging to the past. That's a time I'll never go back to."When I finished, Sophie froze where she stood. Pain swept across her face, leaving her pale and rigid.I didn't care. I turned and walked straight out of the hospital room.Behind me, Sophie shouted, her voice echoing down the hall. "All women are the same! Do you really think Olivia loves you? Why would the richest woman in Aston fall for someone as ordinary as you? "Wake up! You two will never be happy together. I'm the one who's right for you!"The more she spoke, the faster I walked.She hadn't changed at all from our last life.When life treated her well, she looked down on those who struggled. When things went wrong, she envied anyone who was happier and tried to drag them down with her.People like her lived in constant regret, never satisfied, never a

    Olivia pouted at me. "Babe, don't lump me in with them. I do have a conscience, you know."I smiled.Olivia had always insisted on making products with the best value. Every product, hotel, and real estate project under her name used the finest materials, yet she sold them at the lowest possible price. That was how her company grew bigger and her reputation louder with each passing year.She respected the consumers, and they'd return the favor.People like Vincent's father, on the other hand, cut corners to pad their profits, putting ordinary lives at risk. It was nothing short of monstrous.Not long after, my phone rang from an unknown number. I hesitated, then answered.It was Sophie."Did you see the news? Lucas, I was the one who reported it."I frowned, unsure why she was telling me this. "Well, thank you for doing something for the victims."Her voice sounded frail. "Lucas, I want to see you. Can we meet?"I responded firmly. "I've told you before, I've already moved

    "When we agreed to break up, both in our past life and this one, it was clear that keeping our distance was the best choice, wasn't it? Besides, you regretted being with me before. You never even wanted kids with me. I can't live that kind of life again."Sophie's voice rose, trembling with anger. "I regretted it because you never supported me! You emailed those record labels and told them not to publish my songs!"I froze, staring at her in disbelief."What are you talking about? That makes no sense! I never sent any emails. Back then, I worked three jobs just to help you chase your dream. I didn't even have time to sleep, let alone pull something that petty. I wanted you to succeed more than anyone. Didn't you feel that, even once?"The moment I spoke, it was like a thunderclap to Sophie. She stood there, shocked, as if the world itself had collapsed around her.She instinctively covered her mouth, as if she couldn't accept what she was hearing, and pressed me further. "Then, wh

    The usually icy boy's face softened the moment he saw me, and a pitiful, almost hurt expression spread across it. "Why didn't you come home yesterday? I missed you so much!"I scooped my son up in my arms as he ran to me, whispering reassurances. "I was working. I told you yesterday before I left. How about I take the day off tomorrow and we go out together?"My precious son, Miles Harrington, nodded eagerly. "Yes! You're the best, Daddy."The classmates watching were stunned. Every single one of them stared at me in disbelief.Before anyone could say a word, a striking, elegant woman hurried down from the conference room upstairs. "Babe, I heard from the hotel manager that you were here at your class reunion. Why didn't you tell me when you finished work? I could have driven over to get you!"The hotel manager stepped forward and introduced her to the dumbfounded crowd."This is Olivia Clarke, CEO of Crestwell Group. Ms. Clarke is also Mr. Harrington's wife. If any of you have r
