Before dying, my childhood sweetheart said he would leave his entire inheritance to his first love. "Sarah, she's different from you. You're a maid, but she's a dancer. She's been elegant all her life; she needs money to live comfortably for the rest of her days." "Besides, if you hadn't staged that car accident back then, she and I wouldn't have been separated." "You used your kindness to demand repayment and ruined my entire life." "If I could do it all over again, I'd rather be a cripple than have anything to do with you." He was full of grievances, yet he never mentioned that I missed two college entrance exams to save him. Later, to help him recover, I gave up my dream of aerospace engineering and switched to nursing. I signed the agreement to waive the inheritance and nodded softly, "Okay." When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of the college entrance exam, right when he was racing his car to win back his first love. I pretended not to know anything. In this life, I don't want to have anything to do with him either. 1 As soon as the morning exam ended, my dad grabbed me and quickly ran back to the car. He started the car, while my mom was responsible for explaining. "Do you know about Ethan dating early? Today is the college entrance exam, but that girl broke up with him. Ethan..." I didn't need to hear the rest; I knew it clearly. Just like in my previous life, Ethan got into a car accident while chasing his girlfriend and lost the use of his legs. The only difference was that this time, I watched Ethan go to his doom with my own eyes, then continued to finish the afternoon exams. When we arrived at the hospital, two doctors had just wearily come out of the operating room. "The accident was too severe, and the rescue was delayed a bit. He's alive, but there's a high probability he won't be able to stand up again. If recovery isn't good after surgery, amputation might be necessary." Upon hearing this, Ethan's mother, Mrs. Wen, burst into tears. Mr. Wen supported her, his face also full of grief. My parents stood there, stunned. "It's a pity Ethan studied so hard for so many years, only to have an accident at this critical juncture." My dad signaled my mom to shut up with a look. After Ethan was wheeled out, the four parents surrounded him. Only I stared blankly at my own hands. Slender and long, without calluses, nor the swollen and deformed joints from touching cold water for a long time. I was truly reborn, and the two exams I took in the afternoon were also real. In my previous life, Ethan's first love, Mia, broke up with him on the day of the college entrance exam. To win her back, Ethan didn't hesitate to take Mr. Wen's car and chase after her. Seeing this, I was worried about Ethan's safety, so I followed him. But I witnessed that tragic car accident with my own eyes. To send him to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, I missed the two exams in the afternoon. I, who usually scored nearly 700 points, only got over 400 points in the college entrance exam. I wanted to repeat the year, but Ethan suddenly knelt and confessed his love. He said, "The doctor said if you hadn't risked danger to pull me out of the car, both my legs would probably have been amputated." "You gave up two exams for me and missed the aerospace major. I am willing to be responsible for you for the rest of my life, if... if you don't mind me." Years of secret love suddenly had a sequel at this moment. For a while, I didn't even know how to react. "Then, what about Mia?" Ethan's eyes were full of hatred, "If it weren't for her, how would I have become like this!" "I hate her too much!" After hesitating for a day, plus the change in college entrance exam policies, and Ethan claiming he couldn't leave me, I agreed. Missing my favorite major, I enrolled in nursing to help Ethan stand up again. For the next few decades, I had been helping Ethan with rehabilitation training. He said he didn't like outsiders coming into the house, so laundry, cooking, massage, and rehabilitation were all done by me alone. I took care of him meticulously until he stood up again. He was unwilling to be mediocre and wanted to start a business, and I was the one running errands for him. But on the day his business succeeded and he held a celebration banquet. I heard him ask his assistant, "Did you invite the dancer named Mia to be my companion today? Did you invite her?" The assistant nodded but hesitated, "Mr. Wen, what about the madam?" Ethan looked at himself standing straight in the mirror and sneered. "Madam? She's just a maid." I stood behind the door, clutching my dress in humiliation. Perhaps God opened his eyes, and Ethan ended up in the ICU again due to complications. But before he died, he left all his inheritance to Mia. He even transferred the only few hundred thousand dollars in my name to Mia. "Sarah, she's different from you. You're a maid, but she's a dancer. She's been elegant all her life; she needs money to live comfortably for the rest of her days." "Besides, if you hadn't staged that car accident back then, she and I wouldn't have been separated." "You used your kindness to demand repayment and ruined my entire life." "If I could do it all over again, I'd rather be a cripple than have anything to do with you." After working hard for half my life, I became a penniless pauper who only knew how to do rough work. In my previous life, I had already paid the price for being love-struck. 2 This time, I watched Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen cry without saying a word. "Old Wen and I only have Ethan as our son in this life. We poured all our heart and blood into him. Ethan was clearly a good child with excellent character and academics, but how did he date early?" "I've asked around. That girl is an art student with terrible grades. The college entrance exam isn't important to her at all! But she can't ruin Ethan at this time, boohoo..." My mom sighed beside them, "That girl too. Ethan had such a big accident for her, and she doesn't even come to see him." Mrs. Wen stood up abruptly with hatred in her eyes. "We are not unreasonable people, but that girl ruined my son; she has to come and apologize no matter what!" Mrs. Wen got up to find Mia, but before she took two steps, Ethan's shouting came from the ward. "Mia, Mia!" I followed at the very end and walked in. Ethan's head was wrapped in gauze, both legs were fixed, and he was struggling to get up but couldn't. Because I didn't follow him, it was said that Ethan was in a coma in the car for over an hour before he was found by a teacher who called 911. Treatment was delayed, and the injuries were more severe. The doctor said the probability of amputation was very high. Mrs. Wen ran over, holding back tears. "Don't move, son. The doctor said you can't move around; the wounds haven't healed yet." Ethan looked at his legs, stunned for a moment, and pretended to be relaxed: "It's okay, isn't it just a fracture? It's not a big deal." "Look, I can still move." Ethan tried to move his legs, but there was no reaction. His expression gradually froze. With each attempt, he also showed anxiety. "Why can't my legs move? The anesthesia must not have worn off yet, right?" Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen had tears in their eyes but didn't know how to speak. "Speak! Say something!!" Ethan pressed the nurse call button himself. After the nurse came in, he started questioning. "What's wrong with my legs?" "Say it! What happened to my legs!!" The nurse was startled. Just as she wanted to speak, Ethan suddenly hammered his legs heavily. "Why can't they move at all!" Ethan was emotional, and two or three people couldn't hold him down. But seeing him like this, a trace of pleasure inexplicably rose in my heart. I walked up to Ethan and said word by word: "Keep hammering your legs. Right now your legs are just paralyzed, but if you keep hammering, maybe they'll need to be amputated." Ethan froze as if hit by the word "paralyzed". "Pa-paralyzed?" Mrs. Wen finally couldn't help but burst into tears. Mr. Wen also said, "Dad knows the ins and outs of this matter. You've become like this, that Mia..." Before he finished speaking, Ethan suddenly said: "It has nothing to do with Mia." "It was me being anxious and driving privately." I lowered my eyes and smiled. Is favoritism defending you in front of everyone even if you caused my paralysis? This car accident had nothing to do with me no matter how you look at it, but in my previous life, Ethan could recklessly pin the accident on me. Love and lack thereof are indeed obvious. In my previous life, he said he would rather be a cripple than have anything to do with me again. In this life, he continues to be disabled, while I took the college entrance exam and prepared to fulfill my dream. Everyone gets what they wish for. 3 This time I didn't offer to stay with Ethan. I stayed for a while and went home. But the next day, Mrs. Wen fell ill from anxiety. After all, Ethan's driving without a license as a minor was exposed by the media, and the internet was full of insults against Ethan. Mr. Wen couldn't handle it alone, so helplessly, my mom arranged for me, who had just finished the college entrance exam, to go over. Seeing that it was me, the excitement Ethan had just raised faded. I ignored him and just sat quietly playing with my phone, thinking as long as he was alive, it was fine. But when the nurse came to change the dressing, Ethan was very uncooperative. "Bed 18, time to change dressing." Ethan turned his head with red eyes, "No need." The nurse was helpless but not surprised at all, looking like she was used to it. "If you don't change the dressing, your leg condition will only get worse." The nurse tried to untie the gauze on Ethan's leg on her own. "I said no need!" Ethan knocked over the iodine in the nurse's tray, and the tray crashed to the ground with a clang. I frowned and stood up. In my previous life, Ethan couldn't accept his legs becoming like this either, but he wasn't as bastardly as now. After carefully recalling, I discovered the difference. In my previous life, after Ethan's accident, I went to find Mia and persuaded her with good and bad words, and Mia came to visit him the next day. But this time, news of Ethan's car accident spread throughout the school, but Mia didn't make a move. Ethan was venting his anger. The nurse lady was extremely wronged but had to finish her work. But before she could touch him, Ethan actually reached out and pushed the nurse's shoulder. "I told you no need, do you not understand human language! Are people in your line of work all so cheap? Can't you understand the patient's..." Unable to bear it anymore, I raised my hand and slapped Ethan across the face. "If you don't want treatment, just check out. What are you going crazy for here?" The nurse wiped her tears, took a deep breath, and went out to get medicine again. "Bed 18..." I took the medicine and threw it on Ethan. "If you want to die, hurry up. If you don't want to die, change it yourself." The nurse gave me a grateful look and went out as if relieved of a heavy burden. I silently felt sorry for this young lady in the private hospital for encountering such a beast as Ethan. Ethan glared at me angrily, panting like a mad lion. "Sarah Qiao, what right do you have to hit me!!" Looking at the swelling on his face, I finally felt a little relieved. "Before you court death, look at your parents. Your mom fell ill, your dad's hair turned white overnight. What reason do you have to act up here?" "Just because Mia didn't come to see you? Then why don't you go act up at her?" Ethan fell silent after his thoughts were exposed. After a long time, he spoke with a nasal voice, "Did Mia go to the training camp again and doesn't know about this, so she didn't come?" I ruthlessly burst his bubble. "The college entrance exam is over. She even went to a class reunion yesterday." Ethan pursed his lips tightly and turned his head away, obviously unwilling to admit it. When I came back from the bathroom, he had secretly changed the dressing himself. In my previous life, I always felt sorry for Ethan being a patient and took care of everything personally. Later, I turned him into a giant baby who wouldn't even take his daily medicine unless I sorted it out. Now with no one to take care of him, didn't he change the dressing himself? After returning home, I looked at Mia's social media. She had been living a colorful life these past few days. After thinking about it, I clicked open the chat box with Mia. I wanted to see how Mia would treat Ethan in this life without my earnest persuasion. 4 The next day, Mia and I arrived at the hospital one after another. When I came, Ethan looked dead inside; when Mia came, Ethan looked like a living person. His eyes were shining, "Mia, you finally came." "How did you know I was hospitalized? It's hard for you in such hot weather. Sarah Qiao, go buy Mia a cup of bubble tea." Even though I had no feelings for Ethan in this life, I was still laughed at out of anger. In my previous life, I gave up repeating a year and chose nursing, allowing him to stand up again from paralysis. Not only did he not think I worked hard, but he also treated me as a maid, saying that the car accident was deliberately designed by me to be with him. Sure enough, the one truly loved doesn't need to do anything; just standing there is winning. I stood still, and Mia also crossed her arms and said coldly no need. She kept her distance from Ethan. "I didn't come here to drink bubble tea." "Ethan, what exactly do you mean? Your driving skills are poor and you had an accident, now you want to involve me and make me responsible for you?" "Are you crazy? Your car accident happened after I broke up with you. I have nothing to do with you anymore, understand?" It was the first time I saw that expression on Ethan's face. Astonishment, embarrassment, and forcing a smile. Looking very miserable. He stammered a bit, "Mia, no... I didn't want you to take responsibility, I..." Mia scolded him back coldly. "Do you think I don't know you deliberately had people spread the news of your car accident at school? Aren't you just trying to morally kidnap me!" "The more you act like this, the more disgusting I find you! You insisted on pestering me yourself; do you still want to delay my whole life?" "Don't contact me again in the future. I'm telling you for the last time, I've broken up with you!" Mia walked away, and Ethan actually shed two tears. In my previous life, he didn't cry before dying, didn't cry when learning of paralysis this time, but was moved to tears by a few words from Mia. I raised the corner of my lips vengefully. "It's almost time to fill out college applications. I'm going back to choose a school." "Uncle Wen has to take care of Auntie Xu. You should hire a caregiver here for now." I said a bunch, but Ethan didn't listen to any of it. But it didn't matter. I just needed to complete the orders from my parents. I just heard that Ethan had a high fever that night and was urgently treated again.
