Reborn, I Gave Him What He Wanted and Stopped Saving Him Chapter 14

I froze.

Ethan’s fingers moved gently against my wrist.

“I investigated what happened. You tried to stop it all, even hurting yourself in the process.

Alexander ignored your advice; everything he suffered was his own fault. It has nothing to do with

you.”

“And the child… Sophia, you did everything you could. You don’t have to carry that guilt.”

His voice somehow eased the pressure inside me.

When I heard that Alexander had been hit by a truck, I had felt restless.

It wasn’t because of Alexander.

It was because of the child I had only met once.

I thought that even if Alexander failed to save him, his father had transferred him to another

hospital.

I thought he would survive. But he hadn’t.

I had started wondering whether being given another life was a reward or a punishment.

Now someone was telling me it wasn’t my fault.

I had already done everything I could. My eyes stung.

I blinked.

“Okay. I understand. Thank you…”

Ethan interrupted.

“Stop thanking me. You’ve said it too many times today.”

After a pause, he added:

“I already told you. If you really want to thank me, give me a chance to pursue you.”

His rough voice brushed against my ears.

My face warmed.

Ethan noticed.

A faint smile appeared on his lips.

He leaned closer.

“Well?”

I looked away.

“Fine. I’ll see how you do.”

I pushed his shoulder toward the door.

“It’s late. Go home.”

He laughed and let me push him outside.

Even after the door closed, I could still hear his laughter. My heart skipped.

Maybe because I had finally let go of the past, I slept better than I had in months.

The next day, Ethan asked me to go out. He wanted to show me the neighborhood.

I hadn’t started my new job yet. Mia had also gone back to New York for work. I had nothing else to

So I went with him.
Around noon, we stopped at a nearby restaurant.

I went to the restroom.

When I came back, Alexander was standing beside our table.

His voice was low.

“Please take all of this away. Replace it with what I ordered.”

Alexander looked at Ethan.

There was resentment in his eyes.

He was clearly trying to control himself.

“Sophia likes sweet food. She doesn’t like seafood. I just want her to eat properly.”

“I don’t want her to feel uncomfortable. You don’t even know her habits. What gives you the right to pursue her?”

Ethan frowned. Then laughed coldly.

“Are you serious? Sophia has loved spicy food since she was a kid. She eats seafood all the time.

“She chose this restaurant herself. She came here for the signature dishes and seafood.”

“So who exactly is the person who doesn’t know Sophia?”

Alexander looked stunned. His expression changed instantly.

“That’s impossible. When she was with me, she always ate sweet food.” She never ate seafood.”

Then he looked up.

He saw me standing nearby.

He hurried toward me.

His voice shook.

“Sophia.”

“I’m not remembering this wrong, am I?”
