Reborn, I Gave Him What He Wanted and Stopped Saving Him Chapter 04

When I opened my eyes again, I was in a hospital room.

My wounds had been treated. Even the slightest movement sent pain through my body.

A familiar voice sounded beside me. “Don’t move.”

Alexander looked at me. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was full of guilt.

“I’m sorry. I thought you were throwing another tantrum.”

“I was wrong this time. Don’t blame Emily. She didn’t know.”

So he stayed by my side not because he was worried about me, but because he was afraid I would blame Emily.

What a convenient excuse. My heart turned cold. I closed my eyes.

“Get out.”

Alexander didn’t move. He only looked down at me.

After a long silence, he finally spoke. “Emily’s mother is sick. The hospital is short on rooms.”

“So?”

I opened my eyes.

“What does that have to do with me?”

Disappointment immediately filled Alexander’s eyes.

“Sophia, why are you still so selfish?”

“From the day we started dating, I told you that being a doctor’s partner means understanding sacrifice.”

Because of those words, I had always put everyone else before myself.

Whenever I was sick, I waited until everyone else had been seen.

Even when I could barely stand, I gave up my bed to patients with minor illnesses.

Once, I had suffered a severe attack of appendicitis in the middle of the night.

Alexander chose to stay with an injured stranger and left me waiting outside.

I nearly developed a serious infection.

I thought he saw everything I had sacrificed. In the end, all I received was one word.

Selfish.

My numb heart still hurt.

“A doctor’s partner?” I laughed coldly.

“Alexander, have you forgotten? We’re already broken up.”

Alexander froze.

His eyes locked onto my face. He searched for any sign that I was only angry. There was nothing.

For the first time, panic appeared on his usually composed face.

His throat moved. He was about to speak when the hospital room door opened.

Emily rushed in.

“Alexander, the hallway is too loud. My mom can’t sleep. What should I do?”

She was crying.

Alexander immediately turned toward her.

“Sophia, we’ll deal with our relationship later. Give the room to her mother. Come outside with me.”

Without waiting for my answer, he came over and picked me up.

“Put me down! I don’t want to go out! Don’t touch me!”

I realized what Alexander was going to do and started struggling desperately.

He held me tightly. No matter how hard I fought, I couldn’t break free.

The helplessness dragged me back to the years after I lost my legs.

The betrayal.

The humiliation.

The pain.

“Put me down!”

My nails scratched his face. A thin line of blood appeared.

But the hatred inside me only grew.

“Alexander, you’re disgusting! If you love Emily, why did you stay with me? Why don’t you just die?”

Alexander threw me onto the bed. The back of my head struck the wall. My vision went black for a moment.

Everyone in the room turned toward me.

Their eyes held a mixture of fear, confusion, and curiosity…

My reason slowly returned.

Alexander looked down at me. His voice was cold.

“Sophia! If you’re angry, take it out on me. Leave Emily out of it.”

I opened my mouth.

Then I froze, about to speak, but suddenly froze in place.

The man standing beside the neighboring bed was the exact person who had caused my death in my previous life.
