Love's Hard Reset: I'm Switching Targets Chapter 9
The once sharp-tongued and cruel Gretchen now looked utterly distraught. Even her tone carried a pleading humility."You're the genius oncologist with countless success stories under your belt!" she cried. "And you love Carrie so much. You have to save her! "As long as you do the surgery, she'll definitely be able to survive this and be healthy again," she pleaded, clutching my sleeve desperately, terrified I might reject her and destroy her last hope.I looked up at the sky. The blue expanse was beautiful. Reality, however, was cruel.Letting out a sigh, I met her expectant gaze and held up my hands."Have you forgotten? My hands are crippled. I lost the right to stand in an operating room a long time ago. My fingers were brutally broken when I was in prison. And the person who sent me there was none other than your daughter, Carrie."The last trace of hope Gretchen had was instantly snuffed out. She stared at my hands with widened eyes, as if she were seeing them for the very

"Your body has been depleted far too severely," the system continued. "You only have six months left…""So, I need to finish developing the drug within these six months?"I finished the sentence for it, but I was met with silence instead.…From that day on, Caroline hardly left my side. Her belated concern only irritated me. I lashed out at her, listing every way she'd hurt me in the past.Overwhelmed with guilt, however, she not only never got angry with me, but she also urged me not to agitate myself and worsen my health.Gretchen tried to convince her to stop wasting time on a useless cripple like me, but she wouldn't listen. Infuriated, Gretchen ended up leaving on a trip.Caroline personally took care of all my meals and lowered herself to keep me happy. She even asked what I wanted. Whatever it was, she'd provide it."Are you trying to make up for what you did to me?" I asked.She smiled and nodded, genuinely believing she was some benevolent figure capable of granting

I took another opportunity to observe her just now, and her condition had gotten worse. If I'm not mistaken, she had breast cancer.As it happened, one of the drugs I was currently developing was to treat breast cancer. But I was conflicted. Did I want to give her the drug?…I put all my focus into developing the drug. The process was tedious, but when I thought about how the drug could cure cancer patients and restore their health in the future, I found myself brimming with motivation.However, the system kept feeding me updates on Kyle and Caroline's relationship. It told me that he had been incredibly clingy toward her lately.I rolled my eyes at it. Was this gossip-loving system really the same cold and impartial one from before?After a long day at work, I returned home only to find Kyle lounging on the couch, bossing the housekeeper around, as if he were already the man of the house.I ignored him and headed straight for the stairs.Apparently, because both Caroline and

Caroline's voice cracked with emotion, but the words coming out of her mouth made me sick."I know I've wronged you, but Kyle is still young. If he goes to prison, his whole life will be ruined. Besides, isn't he your younger brother?"So Kyle's life couldn't be ruined, but mine could be destroyed so recklessly? Kyle was nothing more than an illegitimate son. There was no real brotherly bond between us. Plus, he reeked of manipulation and fake naivety. What kind of brother was that supposed to be?Seeing the numb expression on my face, Caroline continued, "Dominic, what's done is done. Whatever it is you want, I'll do it to make it up to you."I looked at the hope in her eyes and said, "I don't have long to live. Before I die, I want to develop a drug that can help ease the suffering of cancer patients.""But you—"Before she could finish, I grabbed her hand, my eyes reddening. "Carrie, this is my only wish. Please don't refuse me again."…Caroline finally agreed to fund my

"Based on similar cases, Mr. Holden likely has severe rheumatism. If left untreated, he might end up in a wheelchair," the doctor said. "But Mr. Holden is missing a kidney and also suffering from long-term malnutrition. At this rate, he likely has less than a year to live."Caroline went pale. She buried her face in her hands as she rambled incoherently."How could this happen? I asked around. Aside from doing some labor, he shouldn't have had it hard in prison at all. How could he have sustained such severe injuries?"After the family doctor left, only Caroline and I were left in the room. The silence was suffocating.She sat by my bedside, completely lost in thought. I couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore. I opened my eyes and met her red, swollen ones."Caroline, let's get a divorce. I'll step aside so you and Kyle can be together."My throat burned with pain, and the moment I finished speaking, I broke into a violent coughing fit.Caroline grabbed a glass of water and held

"Mr. Holden is back," the housekeeper announced.I lifted my foot to step inside, only for Caroline to stop me with a single glare. If I were still trying to win her love, seeing her displeasure would've made me retreat immediately. But now that I didn't care about her at all, I stepped onto the pristine white carpet with my filthy shoes.It was her favorite carpet. Now, it bore a pair of jarring, black footprints.Caroline's brow furrowed tightly. That was the warning sign before she lost her temper."You're using such childish stunts to get my attention, Dominic? How pathetic."Then she lifted her leg, wanting to kick me.I quickly took two steps backward, but she still managed to send me crashing to the floor. As I fell, I knocked over the vase that my mother-in-law, Gretchen Fletcher, treasured the most.The exquisite, delicate vase shattered into a million pieces.A shrill voice instantly pierced the air. "Dominic, you worthless loser! You just got out of prison, and the
