Chapter 10

Author: Gigantic Cat
Wendy was already quite tipsy before that, and Sonia's flattery immediately got her feeling floaty and giddy.

She retrieved her car keys from her purse without further thought and waved them in her hand.

"Alright! You're such a sweet, sensible young lady, Sonia! I trust you!"

Wendy had only just come back to work from maternity leave, and she still had an infant at home waiting for her.

Thinking about what Sonia was going to do, I couldn't help but try to warn Wendy out of the conscience of

    I never thought that Sonia would end up being the one getting amputated in this life. After all, she had only suffered a mild concussion and some fractures in my past life.It seemed that the butterfly effect of my rebirth was far more intense than I had ever expected.Most of our colleagues went to visit Sonia at the hospital on Monday. I held a bouquet in my hand, following the rest of my colleagues to Sonia's ward.I hesitated, wondering whether to go in. While still trying to make up my mind, I heard a loud crash of something shattering on the ground from inside the ward, followed by Sonia's screech."Who permitted you to amputate my legs? Who gave you the right? I'm going to sue all of you!"The doctor explained patiently to her, "Ms. Sanders, please calm down. It was a very urgent situation back then, and your legs were completely mangled and shattered."You would have already lost your life if we hadn't amputated you on the spot!"However, someone as dumb as Sonia couldn'

    Wendy was already quite tipsy before that, and Sonia's flattery immediately got her feeling floaty and giddy.She retrieved her car keys from her purse without further thought and waved them in her hand."Alright! You're such a sweet, sensible young lady, Sonia! I trust you!"Wendy had only just come back to work from maternity leave, and she still had an infant at home waiting for her.Thinking about what Sonia was going to do, I couldn't help but try to warn Wendy out of the conscience of my heart."Wendy, I think you'd better try calling an Uber instead or ask your husband to pick you up."When Wendy heard that, she was far from grateful and got deeply offended instead.She gave me a disdainful once-over, still reeking of alcohol, and said, "What the hell is the matter with you tonight, Amanda Rockwell? Are you not done being petty yet?"Her tone was sharp and sarcastic.She then gave her car keys to Sonia, placing them in her hands like she was acting defiantly against my

    The lunch incident was nothing compared to the huge celebration that would happen tonight.However, Sonia behaved quite unusually at the bar and didn't have a single drop of alcohol to drink. She did, however, keep our other colleagues' glasses filled and chatted enthusiastically with them. She did all that with a wide, fawning smile on her face.Halfway through the celebration, Sonia even walked up to me with a glass of juice, her eyes brightly shining as she stared at my car keys on the table. She said, "Amanda, your new car is really pretty. Will you let me test drive it?"She then swirled the juice in her hand, looking at me pleadingly."I didn't drink a single drop of alcohol, and I'm also a really good driver! I promise I'll get you home safe and sound!"My brain suddenly felt as though I'd just been struck by a sledgehammer. The noisy sounds at the bar quickly faded away to nothing as scenes of the accident in my past life flashed before my eyes. The pain from having my leg

    One of my colleagues piped up, "Yeah, Amanda, Sonia had good intentions. Don't be so rude to her.""That's right. The hiking incident is already in the past. And isn't Jade already fine?" another chimed in."People make mistakes. It's tough enough to plan the trip on her own. Must you really do this to her?"They continued chattering away, completely forgetting that Sonia was the one who nearly caused someone to lose their life on the mountains yesterday. I found it really ridiculous how they could have the memory of a goldfish at times.I didn't say anything else after that and just put on my earbuds, continuing with my proposal.My colleagues gradually lost interest in me after seeing that I was still being so stubborn. Instead, they turned to Sonia and began comforting her."Don't get upset, Sonia. You can take our coffee orders instead!""Exactly! Go on, choose whichever coffee shop you want! We'll be right behind you!"With everyone's support, the aggrieved look on Sonia

    It was a dark blue work badge, with the words "Azure Rescue Team" printed clearly on the top.Although it was from two years ago when I worked as a volunteer responder, the name, photo, and official stamp on the work badge were still very clearly seen on it.Everyone was instantly frozen in place as they stared at me in disbelief.It was true. During the gap year I took after graduating from college, I felt that life was meaningless and had absolutely no motivation to work. It was then that I chanced upon an advertisement from Azure Rescue Team looking for volunteers, and I signed up without hesitation.For the rest of that year, I went out with my team on public welfare rescues, collecting professional knowledge bit by bit. I realized how fragile life was, as I'd witnessed far too many deaths and accidents.However, I suddenly rediscovered my passion for life.That was the reason why I had been so optimistic about life, even though I lost my legs and became wheelchair-bound in m

    Lexi was the only one who came close to me and whispered, "I think you're right, Amanda. We should be more cautious now."I nodded at her, but I was tense, and my guard remained up.It was sunny when we hiked up the mountain.Sonia was exceptionally good at small talk, and she managed to get Vincent beaming and praising her with just a few words.When we finally reached the peak, panting and catching our breath, Sonia eagerly pulled out her phone and told everyone to pose for the camera."Alright, everyone! Mr. Lafelle can take the center. Let's take a group photo at the top of the mountain together!"Perry also smiled in satisfaction in the photo.However, when we decided to go back down the trail after a short break, a colleague began sneezing repeatedly.A thin mist had surrounded the peak of the mountains, and the wind had also turned cold and chilly.I stood up and pointed at another path leading down the mountain that was paved with steps and said in an unusually firm to
