Chapter 8

Penulis: Rain Butterfly
But Sean's gaze only grew firmer, his voice leaving no room for doubt.

"Cass! Let me tell you the truth. Every time Ginny was with me, there were always other people around!

"Those photos she sent you? Not a single one was just the two of us!

"On that business trip, I purposely brought other partners along with her. I didn't want you to overthink!

"I just never imagined you could be so foolish. Didn't you notice she was always standing at the very edge of every photo? It's because she cut everyone else out!

"Cass, we've lived together for ten years. Do you really not trust me? Do I have to shout it at the top of my lungs—that I love you—for you to believe it?"

My head, which had been shaking like a rattle, froze in place.

Through my tears, I let out a trembling laugh. "Sean, what did you just say? Can you… say it again?"

"I said I love you. I love you! You gave me a second life, and you are my life! Do you understand?"

I nodded again and again, tears spilling over. "I underst

    Ginny spat viciously at me. "Why shouldn't I be allowed to reincarnate? Everything I've become—you forced me into it!"Do you know what my life was like? Since childhood, I had to fight my brother for everything. If I wanted an eraser, I had to fight for it. If I didn't want to wear his hand-me-down clothes, I had to fight for new ones. Even my parents' love—I had to claw and beg for scraps!"What did I ever do wrong? All I did was be born. So why has no one ever been willing to love me, even a little?"Later, I killed my brother. Only then did my dad finally turn his attention to me. But he hated me—hated that I had killed his son as a minor and would never face punishment. So he tricked me, said he was going to sell me to traffickers."So I killed him too."I thought that meant I no longer had to bow my head, no longer had to beg for love. But then I met Sean."The moment I saw him, I loved him. I thought he carried the same sorrow I did—that we were the same kind of people. Bu

    Taking advantage of the moment before anyone could stop her, Ginny bolted.Ten minutes later, the police arrived and went straight to handcuff Jordan.Confused, I asked, "Why?"He smiled, a look of release softening his face. "Cass, I turned myself in. I also told Sean about Ginny's plan. Do you remember when I once said I admired your optimism?"The truth is, all these years, I've lived steeped in pessimism. I was crushed by the family I was born into, ashamed that I couldn't cure my mother's illness."These six short days with you… they've been the happiest of my life. I finally understand: anything not earned with your own hands will eventually slip away. My mother often told me, no matter how bitter or difficult life becomes, a person must always keep a kind heart. Cass… I'm sorry."I shook my head fiercely. "I don't blame you."Ginny's uncle stepped forward. "Don't worry. We'll treat your mother's illness. All the expenses will be covered by my hospital. Serve your sentence

    I continued, "So, Sean, in the final stretch of my life, I want you to stay away from me, do you understand? I hate you more than anyone! Get out! Ginny is a good girl. She's willing to be with you. Go date her, marry her, do whatever you want. Just stop bothering a cancer patient like me!"My gaze twisted into something feral as I suddenly grabbed his hand, scrawling the word 'run' in his palm as quickly as I could.Even under Ginny's threats, I couldn't bear the thought of him falling into her trap. If one of us could escape, it should be him. Ginny was never someone who could be trusted for life. Sean had to run.But to my shock, instead of pulling away, he tightened his grip on my hand."Fine, Cass," he said evenly. "You've had your say. Now it's my turn."My eyes widened in panic. I tried to signal him silently—don't speak, just go. But he didn't waver."I once asked you what makes two people truly a match. You said it's when everyone else thinks they are. But I don't believ

    I lay weak and frail on the hospital bed, forcing a faint smile as I looked at Jordan, who had sat in silence all this time."You switched out my cancer medication at home, weren't you?"His eyes lifted to mine. "You… knew?"I nodded. "Of course. I know my own body. The doctor said I still had three months left, but these past few days, my condition has been deteriorating far too quickly.""Do you… hate me?" he asked.I shook my head. "There's no point in talking about hate or not. These days, having you by my side… I was actually happy. I even cried less."His eyes reddened, and then he began to tell me his story.There was no surprise twist—it was more or less what I had imagined.He had grown up poor. His father died young, and his sickly mother poured everything into getting him through university. By the time he graduated, she was too frail to recover. He had worked part-time jobs while studying, scraping together enough to keep her treatments going.After graduation, he

    I ignored the stabbing pain in my body, wiped the blood from my lips, and bolted out the door… only to collide head-on with Jordan."Cass, are you okay? Should I take you to the hospital?"I grabbed his arm in panic. "Take me to the train station!""But in your condition—"Tears burst from my eyes. "Please. I'm begging you."His grip on my arm tightened, a flicker of conflicted emotion crossing his face. At last, he hailed a cab, accompanied me to the station, and even boarded the train with me.The moment we stepped off, Ginny pulled up in a car to fetch me."How is he? What happened?" I asked anxiously.But instead of panic, her face was relaxed and smug as she leaned back in the seat. "Why ask? You'll see soon enough."A chill of foreboding spread through me.Soon, her car pulled up to a private hospital. She led me inside to a fully sealed ward, where behind the glass I saw Sean lying on the bed, eyes closed, motionless.Tears streamed uncontrollably down my face. I open
