Lahat ng Kabanata ng Reborn Regret: I Stop Blocking Their Forever: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

"I know you don't like me, Sam, but we're in a life-or-death situation now. Please stop trying to stop me from donating blood to Cherry, okay?" Neil Sawyer said.The moment I heard Neil's words, I realized that I had been reborn.When I looked up, I was met with my girlfriend, Cherry Jameson's displeased gaze. Her face was deathly pale due to anemia.She said, "It's one thing if you refuse to donate blood out of your own selfishness, Samuel Newberry. But now you're even trying to stop Neil from saving me? How could I have been blind enough to fall for a scumbag like you?"Her insults made my heart sink.In my past life, Cherry had suddenly suffered from anemia during a national competition. It would take far too long for the plasma to be rushed over from the blood bank.To avoid delaying the competition, Neil, the campus heartthrob and her childhood friend, volunteered to donate his blood to her.I desperately tried to stop him from doing so. That was because I had once overhear

A wave of nausea rose in my chest as I stared at the syringe smeared with different people's blood.I coldly rejected, "I'm not doing it."Neil said, "I know you don't like me, Sam, but Cherry is still your girlfriend. At a time like this, wouldn't it look bad on you if you don't donate some blood?"His words instantly stoked the others' anger."That's right! We've all donated, so why do you get a pass? A selfish man like you doesn't deserve to be Cherry's boyfriend!""Samuel, are you going to do this willingly, or do you want us to make you?"My classmates started closing in on me, the syringe in one of their hands.When Cherry looked at me, her gaze was full of warning. "You've already disappointed me enough today, Samuel. If you donate your blood, I'll give you one more chance, and we won't break up. But if you keep being this selfish, then you're not worthy of my love!"At her domineering speech, I nearly laughed out of sheer anger.Cherry must have forgotten that she was

I heard the sounds of coughing everywhere as soon as I stepped into the classroom.Every single one of them had been infected."That's weird. Why does everyone seem to have caught a cold lately? I woke up with a headache this morning."At that, the other classmates started chiming in."Is it the weather or something? My nose won't stop running.""I feel weak all the time, too. Maybe it's some new kind of flu."Their faces were flushed red from all the coughing, yet they were still convinced it was nothing more than a minor cold.Upon seeing my arrival, Cherry stormed over, looking pale. She demanded haughtily, "You've had the whole week to reflect. Did you finally realize you were wrong and came to apologize?"I looked at her confident posture and calmly reached into my backpack. I pulled out a face mask and put it on.These idiots were already infected with HIV. I didn't want them to pass it on to me.Cherry gritted her teeth angrily at my reaction and slammed her fist onto

The room fell silent at my words. No one was able to retort.Cherry pointed at me and stammered for a while. Finally, she gritted her teeth and snapped, "Do you think we'd be scared of you? There aren't even surveillance cameras in this classroom. Who's going to know what we did?"At that, she stomped hard on my phone, crushing the screen beneath her heel.Not only was I not panicking, but I even had a cold smile on my face.A three-thousand-dollar phone was expensive for a reason. Even with the screen shattered like this, the call wouldn't drop as long as it hasn't completely powered off. That means every single word spoken had already gone straight through the line.Cherry grew even more furious watching me smile instead of getting upset. She stormed over, grabbed my wrist, and tried to drag me out of the classroom.Ms. Giles watched it all happen without doing anything, her gaze filled with open disgust toward me.After kicking me out, Cherry immediately rushed back in. She

The accusation was like a spark thrown into dry gasoline. My classmates started demanding that I be held responsible.Some of them even picked up the used syringe and charged toward me, screaming, "Why are you fine? Why did you manage to get away with it? You did this on purpose! We'll drag you to hell with us!"Amidst the chaos, someone broke down and screamed, "You knew from the start, didn't you, Samuel? Why didn't you stop us? Why didn't you make it clear? You sick bastard! You just stood there and watched us suffer!"Fortunately, the police managed to bring the situation under control by pulling me behind them.After everyone was settled down, they were immediately transported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for HIV testing.While waiting for the results, everyone started praying and hoping that they'd be the lucky exception.But when the doctor finally stepped out, his grim expression answered everything.Except for me, no one was spared. They were all
