After spending three months scavenging for supplies in the sweltering heat, my boyfriend, Derek Callahan, gives me just three ounces of muddy water. Then, he gives all our clean water to his childhood sweetheart, Fione Prescott, so she can wash her feet. When I confront him at the shelter, he loses his temper. "Fiona has sensitive skin! She could get sick if she washes her feet with dirty water. You're perfectly healthy, so what's the problem? Do you really have to make such a big deal over a little water? "Fiona was right about you. You never wanted to be part of my team. You only joined because you wanted me to protect you! I was even planning to save you a good spot in the safe zone if you'd just drink that muddy water. But you've really disappointed me!" I'm not about to waste my breath arguing with him. I quit the team on the spot, leaving him free to get together with Fiona. Five years later, he's taken over several smaller settlements and founded Ashford, the largest survivor base, becoming a powerful warlord with an army under his command. Meanwhile, as far as everyone knows, I'm still just a lone scavenger. When we cross paths again at the trade fair, Derek holds a glass of chilled juice in one hand, with Fiona nestled against his side. He looks me up and down, his gaze lingering on my worn-out backpack. "Still digging through trash, huh? What brings you here? Come to beg me to take you in? If you hadn't been so selfish back then, you'd be the First Lady of Ashford by now. But you blew your chance. Even if you got down on your knees and begged, I wouldn't give you a second glance." But the moment the governor of Eden, the world's only remaining ecological city, kisses me on the cheek, Derek crushes the glass in his hand. "Sophie Bennett! I never agreed to break up with you! What gives you the right to marry someone else?"

He Saved Her Feet, I Saved the World Chapter 12
Nathan summoned William before him. Tension hung thick in the air. The color drained from William's face, but he offered no excuses. "Mr. Blackwood," he said, meeting Nathan's gaze. "I've been with you for ten years. You have to trust me."Nathan fell silent for a moment before shaking his head. "I trust you. Our enemy is clever. They want us to turn against each other."Nathan's words eased the tension in the room. My gaze swept across a corner of the laboratory, and my heart skipped a beat. There stood a pot of Phantom Orchid, a gift from Dr. Blewett, a kind and gentle elderly botanist. She often told me that she was the sole survivor of a small research institute. She envied me for having access to such extensive research facilities, which was why she'd always treated me with such kindness.But her research institute was located right at the heart of Project Chimera.I smashed the orchid's pot and searched through the soil. Buried deep within, I found another miniature s

I couldn't identify what the object was, but Nathan's expression changed. He crouched and carefully picked it up with his tactical gloves, his expression growing increasingly grim. "The parasitic core from Project Chimera…" he muttered. "I thought this thing had been destroyed a long time ago."Back at Eden's command center, a heavy silence settled over the room.Nathan explained that the parasitic core was a product of a secret bioweapons program called Project Chimera, which had been developed before the apocalypse.Once implanted in a host's central nervous system, the core could forcibly unlock the host's latent potential. However, it came with a terrible side effect—it distorted the host's memories and amplified their negative emotions without limit.I froze, then remembered Derek's almost obsessive paranoia five years ago.So the tiny core had been eating away at his mind all along, turning him into a monster he could no longer control. The satisfaction I'd felt at the

Derek stood atop the crumbling city wall, staring blankly at the people below as their deafening cheers erupted.They weren't cheering for him. They were cheering for Eden and me. Even the subordinates who had once obeyed his every command now looked at Nathan and me with reverence and fervent admiration.He had become a forgotten outsider.Suddenly, Derek leaped from the city wall, plunging from a height of more than ten meters before crashing heavily to the ground.Struggling to his feet, he made his way to the foot of the hill. Under the watchful eyes of countless Ashford residents and Eden soldiers, he fell to his knees before me."Sophie, I was wrong… I know I was wrong. Please, come back to me!" he cried. "You can be the leader's wife. I'll give you Ashford, everything I own. I'll do anything for you. I'll be your servant, your slave…"I looked at him and felt nothing but a deep disgust.Before I could respond, Nathan stepped forward and positioned himself protectively i

The scene shifted, and the sound of running water filled the air.Fiona poured all the purified water she'd worked so hard to obtain into a basin, then settled in for a leisurely soak. Derek stared at the footage. It wasn't as though he'd never suspected Fiona, but time and again, he'd chosen to believe her.Slowly, he turned to look at Fiona, who was still crying on the ground. All he felt was disgust and a profound sense of distance, as though she were a complete stranger.Fiona completely broke down."It's fake! It's all fake! Sophie is framing me!" she screamed, scrambling to her feet. "Derek, they're trying to drive us apart! Kill them! Hurry!"Derek said nothing. He drew the pistol from his waist and aimed its dark muzzle at Fiona's forehead.Suddenly, the highest-level alarms blared simultaneously across Ashford.One of the men on lookout duty came stumbling into the room, nearly falling over himself. "Mr. Callahan, we have a problem!" he cried, his voice choked with
