ANMELDENWhen I was 17 years old, I got hit in the head by a falling beam just to save Victoria Chandler, who was stuck in a blazing place. Since then, I become a dummy. In order to save up money for my physical therapy, Victoria gives up on pursuing her studies. Instead, she starts taking up all sorts of odd jobs and manual labor. Ten years have passed since then. Victoria is now the youngest businesswoman of Jeronich. Meanwhile, I'm still the dummy who still needs her to help tie my shoelaces and feed me. But later on, Victoria begins going home later at night. There's only disgust in her eyes when she looks at me. One day, I accidentally break the music box her assistant, Mike Tate, has gifted her. That's the first time she loses her temper at me and drags me all the way to the rooftop. Then, she orders me to jump off the 50-floor building. I have no idea why Victoria wants me to do this. All I know is that I'll get rewarded for being a good boy. Since young, I've been terrified of tall heights. But now, I'm even more terrified by the idea of Victoria abandoning me. With a smile on my face, I back away from Victoria slowly. "Please don't be mad at me, Vicky. I'll always obey your orders."

Are you sure you want to give it all up right now?"These words pierced into Victoria's heart like a knife, and she froze.Mike sensed her wavering and immediately softened his voice again."We were both wrong in this matter, Vicky. However, nobody else will have to know as long as we both keep our mouths shut. We'll finally have our own happily ever after…"Victoria shuddered, but she stopped struggling after that. Mike gently turned her around and pulled her into his arms.She didn't fight him, but she didn't respond to him either. Instead, she just looked out in the distance with her hollow eyes.…Ultimately, Victoria decided to compromise, marrying Mike just three months later. However, they didn't hold a grand wedding reception. Instead, they just registered their marriage at the city hall and moved into the marital home th
Mike continued, "On top of that, Jordan's death doesn't even have anything to do with you anyway!""How could it have nothing to do with me?" Victoria snapped, suddenly looking at him with red eyes. "If I had never locked him up in that place, if I had never chained him up by his ankles, he would have been able to escape when that fire broke out!"I was the one who caused his death!"I hovered over her anxiously when she said that. "It's not your fault, Vicky. Please don't blame yourself for it."Then, I looked at Mike angrily and said, "It's he who should be sorry! He was the one who directly caused my death!"However, my voice was like a breath against the surface of water, barely making any ripples.What was the point of saying all this anymore anyway? So what if Victoria finally found out about the truth? It would only give her more things to worry about.I had an inkling that I was still lingering in this world after my death, not in the underworld, because of her guilt and
The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained shakily, "It's not like that, Ms. Chandler. We're equally as confused as you are. "From a medical perspective, even though the patient's injuries are quite severe, they aren't enough to cause brain death. It's almost as if the patient just no longer has the will to live anymore. It's like he doesn't even want to wake up.""That's impossible…"Victoria stumbled backward, her chest hurting so much that it felt like it was about to tear open."Jordan would cry if he even had to get a shot… He's so timid and scared of everything… How could he possibly want to die?"You're lying! You must bring him back to life at once! Do it!"Victoria threw herself against my bed and began forcefully shaking my bandaged-up body."Jordan Hurley! You're not allowed to die! Do you hear me? Wake up! I know you can hear me! Wake up this instant!"I could hear her crying and sobbing as my consciousness faded. She sounded like she was in great p
My consciousness grew faint, almost as light as a feather.This wasn't too bad either. At the very least, Victoria no longer had to worry about an idiot like me anymore.Actually, I never liked that word.It made me feel suffocated every time I heard someone call me that, but I never dared show it. I didn't want her to feel even sadder just because she saw me upset.Once, she took me out for a walk, and a group of mischievous kids mocked the way I waddled as I walked, calling me a "stupid idiot" the entire time. Victoria became furious, rushed at them, and chased them away in a rage.She also came back to comfort me, telling me not to take the kids' words to heart. However, on the way back, I realized that her eyes were red-rimmed. After that incident, she rarely ever brought me out to crowded places again.I knew that it was because she was ashamed of me."Blood oxygen levels are still dropping…""Prepare the epinephrine for resuscitation!"Some voices came from a distance, b
