บททั้งหมดของ She Chose Him, Now She Wants Me Back: บทที่ 271 - บทที่ 280

Joy lit Wendy's face. "Dominic Fleming… Your name is Dominic Fleming, right? You really can see me."An inexplicable discomfort settled in Dominic's chest. He drew a slow breath. "Come with me."Wendy nodded at once.Dominic walked to the old car, opened the passenger door, and waited for her to get in before taking the driver's seat himself."What happened to you? The last time I saw you at the hospital, you were fine," he asked, his voice heavy.Wendy worked as a nurse at AdventHealth of Grand Skyline. After Dominic had suffered a car accident and died on the operating table, she had run into Isabella and, despite crossing professional boundaries, had insisted on speaking up for him.That moment had left a deep impression on Dominic. Now, seeing Wendy in a soul-like state tightened his chest."She was righteous and outspoken, still so young, yet now…" he thought.At his question, anger flickered across Wendy's eyes. After a long pause, she forced out an answer. "Bad luck."T

Wendy fell from the seventh floor and died instantly. Her parents rushed to the scene, crying until it felt as though the sky itself might collapse.In the end, Adam offered only a reluctant apology. Amid the condemnation of countless onlookers, the parents ultimately offered 1,500 dollars.The mother even faced the cameras and said, "Adam has already apologized. What more do you want from us? He is still just a child."Wendy had witnessed all of this in her soul state, feeling profoundly wronged.Back then, no one outside the window saw the boy deliberately trip her with his leg. Even if someone had seen it, they likely would not have spoken up.Without evidence, intervening would only invite trouble. More importantly, Adam was only 10 years old. Even if he had acted intentionally, the law could not punish him. And just like that, the matter was closed.The hospital compensated Wendy's family with a sum of money and had her cremated that very day.All of it left her seething wi

"What nonsense are you talking about! She's my daughter's aunt. I called her because I wanted her to help take care of my daughter," Dominic explained in a rush.His heart still beat a little too fast, and his mind filled against his will with flashes of obscene images."Oohhh!" Wendy said with clear sarcasm. "Someone sounds very guilty. Is it because you lack confidence?"Dominic's face flushed. He waved his hands at once. "Hey, hey. Can we not talk about this?"Wendy laughed softly to herself.When she did not keep pressing the issue, Dominic finally let out a breath of relief.That peace lasted only a few minutes. Soon, she started chattering again.Dominic remained patient, smiling as he chatted along with her.…After more than an hour on the highway, they turned onto a national road.All at once, Wendy clutched her head. "Hey, what's going on? Why do I feel dizzy? I feel really uncomfortable."Dominic's heart sank. He pulled over at once.Her condition worsened. Her b

Wendy looked at Dominic, clearly surprised. "Mr. Fleming…"Dominic smiled faintly. "Didn't you say it yourself? We're good friends. When a good friend gets into trouble, how could I sit back and do nothing?"As for Adam, calling him a troublesome kid would have insulted the term. Whether he was born bad or spoiled by his parents, Wendy knew one thing for certain: he had personally pushed her to her death.Even at such a young age, he was already a murderer, and that was unforgivable.Wendy paused, then suddenly buried her face against Dominic's chest and broke down, sobbing. "Mr. Fleming, you're really so good…"Dominic smiled and lifted her upright. "Alright, that's enough contact. Don't cling to me. If you keep appearing like this, you'll get dizzy again."The first time she had manifested, she lasted three hours before the dizziness set in. The second time, she barely held on for a little over an hour. If there were a third time, it would likely be even shorter.Wendy gave a

Caleb's eyes were bloodshot, and the butcher knife in his hand flashed as it swung wildly, a terrifying sight. "Let go of me! Let go of me!"Dominic remained calm. He seized Caleb's arm and whispered, "Sir, I'm Wendy's good friend. Listen to me. Put the knife down. Now."At the sound of his daughter's name, a trace of clarity returned to Caleb. He gasped for air for a long moment, and the tension drained from his body.Dominic seized the chance and took the knife from his hand.At the same time, Adam and his parents released long breaths of relief.Only moments earlier, terror had rooted them in place.Now that Caleb was unarmed, Adam's mother shrieked, "Crazy! You're crazy! How dare you hold a knife and try to kill someone!"She looked down at her son, who clung to her leg, and barked, "Look at what you've done, frightening my child like this. You owe us money!"Encouraged, Adam let go of his mother and pointed at Dominic. "He's the murderer! Stab him with the knife!"Dominic
