After I Chose to Die, They All Regretted It Chapter 05

After I Chose to Die, They All Regretted It Chapter 05

My soul hovered in the air.

I clearly saw everyone at the door freeze in an instant.

Leon stumbled toward me and pressed his trembling hands hard against the wound on my wrist.

His face was frighteningly pale. His voice sounded as if it had been squeezed from his throat.

“Ivy, don’t scare me.’

“Call the doctor. Hurry!”

The wound on his leg split open again from his frantic movements, but he didn’t notice at all.

He only looked at Victor in despair.

Victor finally snapped back to himself and roared at the men outside.

“Get the doctor up here! Now!”

The doctor stumbled in.

Thick gauze wrapped around my wrist, but blood still seeped through again and again.

The doctor was covered in sweat. He touched the side of my neck, then froze, unable to speak.

“Sir, Miss Grayson is already…”

Victor’s eyes were scarlet.

“Shut up! Prepare the car! Take her to the private medical center!”

Nolan went completely still.

He stared at the glaring red on my wrist. Then his legs gave out, and he dropped to his knees.

He kept muttering.

“She wasn’t pretending.”

“Ivy wasn’t pretending. She really wanted to leave us!’

Caleb came in last.

His usually cold expression cracked the moment he saw the room.

He had once put an engagement ring on my finger himself and said he could not bear to see me cry

even once.

But only after I died was he finally willing to really look at me.

Panic flashed through Lydia’s eyes.

A second later, she rushed in with tears in her eyes.

“Ivy, how could this happen? It’s all my fault. If I had explained things to you sooner, then…”

Before she could finish, Nolan suddenly grabbed her by the throat.

“Lydia Thorne!”

Nolan roared like a beast.

“You said that if we did what you told us, favored you, and ignored Ivy, she would fail her mission.

Then the system would give up on her and let her stay!”

“Why is she dead?”

“Did you do this to her?”

Lydia’s face turned red at once. She kicked her legs, unable to breathe.

The room was filled with crying, shouting, and chaos.

I didn’t bother thinking about what Nolan’s words meant.

I only felt annoyed.

I had finally died.

Why couldn’t I leave yet?

When I got back, I was definitely filing a complaint against this useless system.

Just as I thought that, the familiar system alert finally sounded.

[Main mission completed. Reward has been deposited into the Host’s designated account.]

[The Host’s current body has died. The return channel will open soon.]

I breathed a sigh of relief.

At last, I didn’t have to stay here and watch these people anymore.

[Detected: the affection scores of the three Grayson brothers have reached 100%.]

[Detected: the affection score of the male lead, Caleb, has reached 100%.]

[Hidden mission completed. Congratulations, Host. After returning to your own world, you will

receive an even healthier body.]

I froze.

Then joy almost tore through my soul.

The next second, everything before my eyes went black.

A force yanked my soul out.

The chaotic sounds in my ears became farther and farther away.

Before I left, I spoke to the mess of people below me with complete sincerity.

“Thank you.”

“Let’s never see each other again.”

When I opened my eyes again, I was lying in a familiar hospital bed.

Sunlight spilled over the blanket.

It was so warm that I wanted to cry.

The ward door suddenly opened.

Several doctors rushed in with strange expressions.

“Miss Ivy, we’re very sorry. It seems there was a machine error in the previous diagnosis.”

“Your new test results show that you don’t have cancer. Congratulations.”

The calm I had been forcing myself to hold finally collapsed.

I covered my face and broke down sobbing.

The doctors were startled by me.

But I could no longer care about them.

I didn’t have cancer.

I didn’t have to die.

I had finally escaped that world where everyone hated me.

I had a brand-new life.

And I had a chance to start over.

I did not know how long I cried before I finally stopped.

My voice was hoarse and choked.

“Thank you.”

“That really is good news.”
