บททั้งหมดของ His Rebirth: Letting Her Rot: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Julian Whitmore, the most popular boy in our class, stood at the front of the room, trying to sound calm. "Everyone, stay where you are! The hallway's completely blocked. We can't get out. Find a corner and take cover until help arrives. We're going to be okay."Panicked students rushed to the corners of the classroom. My head spun as I stared at Julian, who looked every bit the hero.I was back at the moment the earthquake struck in my previous life. In that life, after Julian got drunk and drowned, Serena Myer had lured me to the edge of a cliff.She pointed at my right leg, which had never fully recovered after I injured it saving her life, and snarled, "Adrian Valecrest, that limp of yours has been a constant burden! I've had to put up with it for seven whole years, and I'm sick of it!"Do you really think I would've chosen you over Julian if I hadn't owed you for saving my life? If I hadn't been with you, Julian wouldn't have been so heartbroken!"He wouldn't have gone drinki

Serena froze, staring at me in disbelief. She clearly hadn't expected me to have been reborn, too."Adrian, what are you talking about?" Her lips parted, and her voice trembled slightly."Marcus, let's go!" I wasn't wasting any more time arguing. I gave Marcus a look, signaling him to make a run for the windows."Adrian, do you really have to act like this right now?" Julian was still at the front of the classroom, playing the concerned nice guy. He clung to a pillar by the load-bearing wall and pointed outside."Look how badly everything's shaking! You'll get yourself killed if you jump! And you're going to drag Marcus down with you? How selfish can you be?"Serena, please talk some sense into him! I don't want anything bad to happen to him!"Marcus shoved a chair out of his way and snapped at Julian. "Adrian showed me a fire safety video just yesterday! That whole 'triangle of life' theory has no scientific basis! I trust Adrian! If you guys wanna die here, be my guest!"The s

"You jumped from the third floor! How are you not hurt?" She screamed like she'd lost her mind, too worked up to even care about the pain.I let out a cold laugh and walked up to her stretcher, looking down at her. "What? Disappointed I didn't end up crippled?"I gave her a mocking smile. "I told you, a jump from the third floor is survivable if you know how to land and break your fall. But no, you just had to stay in that so-called safe spot. You really thought you knew better, didn't you?"Serena covered her face with her hands and sobbed, tears streaming down her bloodstained cheeks. She finally realized how much her arrogance had cost her, even with a second chance at life.Julian stood nearby, trembling. He looked at Serena's mangled legs, and a flicker of disgust crossed his face.But he quickly put on a concerned expression and grabbed her hand. "Serena, you're bleeding so much. I can't stand seeing you like this. This earthquake came out of nowhere. If you hadn't been tryi

"If he'd helped her instead of leaving her behind, Serena would never have ended up like this! He's a cold-blooded murderer!"Gina spun around, her eyes bloodshot with rage. Her gaze dropped to my uninjured legs, and she completely lost it. "Adrian, you evil bastard! How come you're standing here perfectly fine while my daughter has to lose both her legs? I'll kill you for what you've done to her!"She charged at me, screaming and swinging her arms wildly. She raised her hand and aimed a vicious slap at my face. The students nearby cried out in alarm.But I didn't even try to dodge. I shot out my hand and caught her wrist before she could hit me, squeezing hard enough to make her gasp."Let me go! You're the reason my daughter's crippled!" She struggled furiously, trying to claw at my face with her free hand.I scoffed and flung her aside. "Mrs. Myer, try using your brain for once."I looked down at her. "Your daughter's crippled because she's an idiot. How the hell is that my pr

The sky began to clear, and sunlight filtered through the mist onto the rubble.I took a deep breath, breathing in the scent of damp earth, and felt better than I had in years. I'd finally gotten some payback for what happened in my previous life.Serena had lost both her legs, and knowing how bitter and obsessive she was, I doubted she would let things end there. And Julian certainly wasn't going to sit back and accept an assault charge.Sure enough, a few days later, I ran into someone I never expected to see in the hospital hallway.It was Gina. Her hair was a mess, her eyes sunken, and she looked ten years older. The moment she saw me, her eyes lit up.She rushed over and dropped to her knees in front of me, looking at me like I was her last hope. "Adrian, please! I'm begging you, go see Serena!"She grabbed my pant leg and held on tight, sobbing. "She woke up and found out her legs were gone! Now she's got a piece of broken glass, and she's threatening to slit her wrists!"
