Chapter 1

During Mark’s surgery, the pain was so intense that I broke several fingers.As the doctors cut open his abdomen, removed the tumor, and stitched him up after the surgery, all of that piercing pain was transferred to me through the chip.The torture lasted a full six hours.When it finally ended, my clothes were already soaked through with sweat.The floor I had scratched at was covered in shocking bloodstains.Patients passing through the hallway stared at me with curious looks. They whispered to each other, pointing as they talked.“The one having surgery isn’t even him. Why’s he screaming like that? Is there something wrong with his head?”“Probably hysteria. I’ve seen it on the news. Some people aren’t mentally sane. They always think something’s growing inside their bodies and end up causing scenes outside operating rooms…”Not long after, Susie’s voice came through the crack in the door.“So? It didn’t hurt at all, right?”Mark responded softly, “Susie, the chip you dev

When I finally dragged my body, still wracked with lingering pain, out of the hospital, a torrential downpour suddenly began outside.Through the curtain of rain, I saw Susie holding tight to Mark’s waist.Mark’s face was red as he said awkwardly, “Susie, don’t be like this… I just had surgery and haven’t even showered yet. I’m a mess. What if—”“It’s fine. I don’t mind.” Susie’s voice was full of tenderness. “You’re different from Jason. You’ll always be the exception.”“But… Jason suffered so much pain for me…”Mark’s voice drifted faintly from inside the car. “What if he holds a grudge and, in a fit of anger, wants to break off the engagement with you? Then what?”“Hmph. Would he dare?” Susie laughed mockingly. “As an orphan with no parents, where could he go if he left the Chances?”The engine roared, and the black sedan sped away, splashing water as it disappeared into the rain.Cold rain soaked my entire body, yet I was already numb.For seven years, I had stayed by Susi

Chapter 3

She would also treat me as the most precious person in her world and spend her entire life cherishing and protecting me.Eventually, Susie did achieve that.Relying on her talent and hard work, she developed a chip that shook the scientific research world the year she graduated from university.It could freely control and regulate human senses and emotions, and also bind two different people, allowing them to synchronize and share sensations.It could even transfer one person’s pain to another.Susie said that the reason she developed this chip was so she could bear all my pain and negative emotions for me.She swore she would protect me for life.If she failed to do so, the chip would punish her.So it was laughable that this chip, which carried her promise, ended up plunging me into the deepest despair and pain.I wiped my face and slowly walked down toward the storage room.Holding the two heavy urns, I left the house.Since it was before dawn, the beach was completely de

“No need,” I refused coldly. “Since it’s for Mark, if I get involved, that wouldn’t be very fair to him, wouldn’t you say?”Susie caught the hidden meaning in my words, and her expression darkened instantly.“Jason, I’m only giving Mark a little extra care because I’m worried his mood after surgery might affect his recovery. Why are you being so sarcastic?!”She rushed forward and gripped my wrist.“Stop pushing your luck, or don’t expect me to marry you!”“Whatever.” I let out a light laugh. “I’m leaving here soon anyway.”Hearing that, Susie’s pupils shrank sharply, and a flash of panic crossed her face.“Leaving? What do you mean? Where are you going?!”I forcefully pulled my hand back.“No comment,” I said faintly, then quickly went upstairs to my room.…Early the next morning, Susie took the initiative to knock on my door.Her expression was awkward, and her attitude was completely different from yesterday.“Jason, I was just angry yesterday. Don’t take it to heart,”

At the wedding venue, Susie kept glancing at the clock on the wall.The speech segment was about to end, and my seat was still empty.“Miss Chance, should we maybe…” the host asked carefully from the side.“Give it five more minutes!” Susie gritted her teeth, barely holding back the anger on her face.At this moment, the guests also began whispering among themselves.Someone whispered, “Wasn’t it said that Miss Chance’s ex-boyfriend would come today to give a blessing speech? It’s already so late, and there’s still no sign of him. Looks like… she couldn’t settle things on her end after all.”“I heard she and Jason didn’t have an amicable breakup. And now she’s marrying another man. Who would show up smiling to give blessings in that situation?”With no other choice, Susie could only signal for the wedding to continue with a dark look.Throughout the rest of the ceremony, her gaze kept sweeping toward the entrance of the banquet hall.However, until the wedding banquet ended, s

“He went out today dragging a suitcase, and you didn’t notice? Why didn’t you tell me?!” Susie raised her voice again.“I… I didn’t think that much…” the cleaner stammered. “Mr. Hamill was dressed very simply today. He was in casual clothes, so I thought the suitcase held the formal outfit he was going to change into for the wedding.”Getting such a useless answer, Susie collapsed onto the couch in frustration.She clawed at her hair, her emotions on the verge of breaking down.“Jason… Jason! Where on earth did you go?!”Suddenly, Susie thought of something.She hurriedly took out her phone and called my company.When the call connected, she forced herself to sound calm as she asked, “Hello… may I ask if Jason is still employed? Has he submitted a resignation or anything like that?”Before long, the sound of a keyboard came from the other end.“Our system shows that Jason is still an active employee. However, he applied for half a month of leave some time ago and is currentl

Chapter 7

“Don’t you find it ridiculous to say something like that now?”The busy tone after the call ended echoed in her ears. Susie gripped her phone, her hands trembling slightly.She sat dazed on the couch as Mr. Solace’s sarcastic words replayed over and over in her mind.Outside the window, dusk slowly fell.Looking at the empty living room, Susie suddenly realized that perhaps I really wouldn’t be coming back this time.Susie slowly picked up the ring, and a cold, unmistakably real sensation spread through her fingertips.She recalled when she proposed on the beach seven years ago, and how I smiled so happily when I wore that ring.And now, it had become the only trace I left behind.“How did it turn out like this…” Susie murmured to herself. “Jason, did I really… completely break your heart?”…“Miss Chance, are you sure you want to do this?” the researcher asked with concern. “The empathic connection will synchronize all of the other party’s sensations, including—”“Cut the n

“Ah!”Susie writhed in pain on the operating table. “Stop… please stop!”It was only for less than ten seconds, but Susie could no longer bear it.Her face was pale as paper, tears and mucus smearing across it.When the pain finally ceased, Susie didn’t even have the strength to speak. She curled up on the table, gasping for breath.Even she had lost control of her lower body.“Just ten seconds,” Susie murmured to herself, trembling. “This kind of unbearable torture… I… I actually made Jason endure it for hours…”After experiencing everything herself, Susie finally understood the reason I had left.She staggered to her feet, ignoring the mess, and hurried home.Seeing the empty house, Susie suddenly slapped herself in a frenzy.“I’m such a beast… worse than any beast!” she screamed into the air. “Jason, I’m sorry… I really… I’ve failed you!”Tears blurred her vision.In the end, the chip that was meant to protect me had become a tool to hurt me.She kneeled on the floor, c

Chapter 9

Susie’s pupils constricted, and she stared fixedly in that direction.Where was the serious Mark she remembered?His abs were exposed, a cigarette was pinched between his fingers, and he was proudly showing off to the wealthy women around him.“How’s this? I just pretended to have stomach cancer, and I completely played that woman from Chance Corporation.”“No doubt!” one of the wealthy women gushed. “With your body and face, what woman wouldn’t fall for you?”Mark’s vanity was satisfied, and he couldn’t help but chuckle softly.“Even though I took all those medicines to fake being sick, I didn’t suffer at all. Jason endured all the side effects for me.”“Oh wow, that’s some skill,” another wealthy woman flattered.“But you partied so hard, and when you were with Susie, you were also with us. Didn’t she ever suspect anything?”Hearing this, Mark sneered. “That has a lot to do with how stupid she is. She knew a normal person couldn’t survive late-stage stomach cancer surgery an

Chapter 10

Once a rising star in the tech world, she fell from grace almost overnight.She sold her mansion and luxury cars, yet it still wasn’t enough to cover her massive debts.Eventually, her ID was seized by the court, turning her into someone who couldn’t even take a high-speed train.To escape her creditors, Susie stowed away on a deep-sea fishing vessel.In the stinking ship cabin, she worked eighteen hours a day.Her hands were cut and bleeding from the fishing nets, but at least she had food and lodging and could earn a meager wage.Five years slipped away without mercy.The once confident and ambitious woman had been completely eroded by the sea winds.Her skin had darkened, her eyes were dull, and she constantly carried the lingering stench of fish.On a rare day docked for supplies, Susie clutched the few wrinkled dollars she had saved, intending to buy a pack of cigarettes.As she passed a street corner, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in her line of sight.It was me.
