- As I was rushed to the hospital, I overheard
- snippets of conversation.
- “Elijah was at the hospital with a woman.”
- “He claims to be a spiritual leader, untouched
- by worldly desires.”
- “That woman looks familiar; I think she
- resembles Elijah’s first love.”
- “His first love died, which is why he became a
- spiritual leader. Seeing someone who looks
- like her must be triggering him.”
- Lying on a stretcher, I felt numb.
- When I arrived in this world, Elijah’s first love
- had just died, and he’d just joined the
- spiritual community.
- The system said he’d be hard to win over, but
- I didn’t believe it.
- I believed that everyone has emotions and
- could be moved.
- Now I knew I was wrong.
- <
- In the operating room, the system informed
- me, “Host, the bullet hit your abdomen; you
- shouldn’t be alive. But the exit portal isn’t
- ready, so I’m keeping you alive.”
- “Also, you’re pregnant. The bullet hit the
- baby; medically, it’s impossible to save it. I
- can’t revive it.”
- I froze.
- “What?”
- “I’m pregnant?”
- “Yes, didn’t you know?”
- Of course I didn’t.
- Elijah and I rarely had any physical contact.
- The only time was on his first love’s
- anniversary; he’d been drunk.
- He mistook me for her.
- I thought it was a one–time thing, that I
- wouldn’t get pregnant.
- “Host, your baby is gone.”
- “Enjoy the next three days.”
- <
- Tears streamed down my face.
- Elijah was the only person I’d ever loved.
- I wanted a child with him.
- Now that child was gone.
- I’ll never forget the concert, Elijah pushing me
- away without hesitation, rushing to protect
- Jessica, taking the bullet for her.
- Eight years, and he never cared for me.
- I woke up in a hospital room. Elijah was in the
- bed next to me.
- He stared at me, his expression startled.
- “Are you… okay?”
- I looked at the thick bandages on my
- abdomen and chuckled, “Do you think so?”
- “I’m sorry.”
- “It was an emergency. I only wanted to save
- Jessica; I didn’t mean to hurt you.”
- “By the way, about my leg, I faked being
- disabled to avoid arranged marriages.”
- His tone was as detached as ever.
- Eight years, and he never really connected
- with me.
- “You don’t need to explain.”
- We were over.
- I couldn’t bring myself to say it.
- After all, I had truly loved Elijah.
- “Don’t worry, I’ll get you the best doctors.”
- He said, again.
- I had longed for his concern.
- But now, it disgusted me.
- “No.”
- I replied coldly, turning my back.
