Chapter 5

"Why?" I looked at this familiar yet strange person before me, my voice trembling.

Olivia seemed shocked by my appearance.

"Didn't Mike say you were hit by a car and almost died? How are you standing here perfectly fine?"

Her words truly chilled me to the bone.

So she really wanted me to just die like that, so she could be with Ethan in this life without any obstacles.

Olivia decided to drop the act and lay all her cards on the table.

"Lucas Quinn, do you know why I was also reborn to today?"

"Because the wish I wrote on the wishing wall was that if I could go back to the past, I would definitely be with Ethan."

There wasn't a hint of guilt in her eyes, as if everything was perfectly justified.

"Olivia, I was reborn for you. You're all I have in this world, and you even promised me. How can you abandon me like this?"

I felt an unprecedented despair.

She let out a cold laugh.

"I wasn't happy at all being with you! You ruined my wonderful life in the last lifetime!"

"My life has finally gotten a second chance. I'm begging you, please don't interfere with me living a better life, okay? Being with you was painful enough. You have no money and no ability to give me a good life. Ask yourself, are you worthy of me?"

She spoke with a crying tone, as if I was the one who had betrayed her.

In my previous life, I had given up the opportunity to attend a prestigious university and inherit the family fortune to be with her.

I even transferred from a top program to her mediocre major, ruining my own future.

I had done all this for her, giving up my family wealth and a top university, but now these became her ammunition to mock me.

It turned out that everything I had done meant nothing to her.

Ethan suddenly appeared by Olivia's side.

"Olivia, it's getting late. Let me walk you back to your dorm."

He thoughtfully draped his jacket over Olivia's shoulders.

Olivia's eyes lit up at the sight of Ethan.

"Okay, let's go."

Before leaving, she didn't forget to turn back and taunt me one last time.

"Lucas Quinn, no wonder your parents didn't want you. Just be an orphan for the rest of your life!"

Indeed, those closest to you know exactly where to stab the knife.

But the fact that I was an orphan was a lie.

Not only was I not an orphan, but my family also ran several hospitals, and my parents were quite renowned in the medical field.

In my previous life, after cutting ties with my family, I had hidden my true family background from Olivia, telling her that I had been abandoned by my parents since childhood and was an orphan.

At that time, she had looked at me with pity, constantly saying words of comfort.

I never expected that beneath her seemingly understanding exterior, she was actually gloating inside.

This time being reborn, I finally saw through the person who had lain beside me.

In my previous life, when my father learned that I had cut ties with them for Olivia's sake, he was so angry that he coughed up blood and eventually passed away in despair.

But I had been too stubborn to go back and see him one last time.

Thinking of him now, I felt immensely guilty.

Fortunately, at this point in my previous life, I hadn't yet severed ties with my family; we were just in the middle of a cold war.

In this life, I couldn't leave any regrets behind.

I immediately dialed my father's number.

"Dad, I'm sorry. I understand now. I can't give up my bright future for a woman. I will definitely pursue further studies in the medical field to inherit the family business in the future."

I wanted to show Olivia just what kind of pinnacle I could reach without her in my life.

I successfully reconciled with my family and took over some of the family business.

One day, my father suddenly took me to meet someone.
