Lahat ng Kabanata ng I'll Leave if You Don't Want Me: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

"Don't worry, Alice. As long as I'm here, Ms. Morgan will get better soon. I'll take care of both of you."I looked up and met Christopher Hudson's eyes, which seemed filled with concern.That was the gaze that fooled me so perfectly for five whole years in my past life and cost my mom, Bethany Morgan, her life.Around us, the other patients and their families started cheering. "Say yes! Say yes!"Christopher and I had grown up together. We shared an unspoken affection that lasted over a decade. If he hadn't fallen for Jennifer Crane, a college girl he was sponsoring, we might have been married by now.When he proposed to me in my past life, I was deeply moved. At the time, I thought I still mattered to him.After we got married, however, I realized I had just been a pawn in his grand plan. He stayed celibate for Jennifer the entire time.I tried everything to please him and did my best to hold that marriage together. I never expected the whole thing to be a lie from the start

Back then, Christopher was short and skinny. Although he was already eight years old, he looked barely five.Mom had a soft heart. She felt sorry for him and even called his parents to talk about his nanny. In the end, she brought him home to live with us.If it hadn't been for Mom, he might not have grown up safe and sound.But even after all that kindness, he still showed no mercy when he came for her life.He let go of my arm now, eyes clouded with mixed emotions. "Alice, were you reborn too?"I admitted it without hesitation. "Yeah. So drop the act, Christopher."Hearing me admit it, Christopher actually let out a long breath of relief."Alice, you know that the surgery in our past life was an accident. This time, I'll make sure the surgical plan is perfect. Besides, who else in Aloria could possibly match my skill?"As he spoke, he took my hand, eyes full of tenderness."We were married for so long. Haven't I always treated you well? Why don't you trust me?"Christophe

Christopher looked at me apologetically, but his voice was cold. "Alice, since you won't let me take Ms. Morgan's kidney, then give yours to Jennifer. I already gave you a good life last time round. Consider this repayment for my deeds."He actually wanted me dead so Jennifer could have my kidney.My instinct to survive surged up as I grabbed his fingers tightly. "Please… Call 911."Christopher lowered his head. The look in his eyes flickered between panic and hesitation, but mostly, there was a terrifying indifference.The world around me started to blur."Chris, aren't we going to save Alice?" "Jennifer, one kidney is not enough for you. You need both. Don't worry, Alice only has her mom and no other relatives. No one cares even if she dies."Although I had already given up on him, hearing those words still stung.So this was how blind I'd been all along. Tears slid down my cheeks as the world around me slowly dimmed.Just before I lost consciousness completely, I seemed

Christopher said, "Alice, I know you're still mad about what happened that day. I'm really sorry. I just panicked…"I cut him off, my voice dripping with sarcasm."I begged you for my life. Yet, you stood there and watched me die. And that was just you panicking? How did you become like this? Or is this who you really were all along?"Christopher's face turned ghostly pale. He clearly hadn't expected me to say it so bluntly."Alice, I know you hold resentment in your heart. But once I find the Hickman family's heiress and save the family business, let's get married, alright? I've finally realized that Jennifer was never worth how badly I treated you and Ms. Morgan."The moment he mentioned Jennifer, I caught a flash of disgust in his eyes. That surprised me a little. In our past life, he'd been hopelessly devoted to her until the very end. It seemed like some things really had changed this time around.He probably still didn't know that it was Grandpa who ordered Hudson Group t

Christopher said gently, "Alice, I know you're still mad at me. But I finally realized that the one I truly love has always been you. I was stupid and too naive back then. That's the only reason Jennifer was able to fool me. I now know I was wrong. Just give me a chance, please?"I let out a cold snort."Drop the act. Your performance is so pathetic that it makes me sick. You'd better stay away from me and my mom. If you don't, I won't let you off easy."Christopher's face changed instantly."If you hadn't hidden your identity, I would never have treated you that way! If you'd just told me who you really were, do you think I would've ever hurt you or Ms. Morgan?"Even now, he had the audacity to turn the blame on me.I sneered. "Did you truly not want to hurt me, or were you just afraid once you learned that I'm the heiress of the Hickman family?"Christopher took a deep breath, struggling to hold onto the last shred of pride."Fine. I was wrong before. But now, I really want t
