Chapter 1

Jacob's first love got pregnant and came to our house asking him to take her in.

I refused. That night, she jumped off a bridge, killing herself and her unborn child.

Later, Jacob asked me to go bungee jumping with him.

The moment he pushed me off, he whispered in my ear, "If you hadn't been so heartless and turned Lily away back then, she wouldn't have taken her own life. You owe her this life."

He took out scissors and cut the cord. I fell to my death.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day his first love came to our house pregnant, asking for help.

I smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I'm pregnant too. Let's take care of our pregnancies together."

"Knock knock knock—"

A series of knocks came from outside the door.

I woke up startled from my nightmare.

The nightmare left me feeling cold all over.

I dreamed that Jacob took me bungee jumping, and the moment he pushed me off, he took out a pair of scissors.

His face filled with hatred as he said, "Olivia, if you hadn't been so heartless and turned Lily away, she wouldn't have taken her own life. You owe her this life."

"Go to hell!" Jacob cut the cord with the scissors, and I fell to my death.

The knocking outside continued, accompanied by a familiar voice: "Jacob, are you home?"

I suddenly came to my senses.

It was Lily's voice.

Lily was Jacob's college crush. In my previous life, six months into our marriage, Lily showed up at our door.

She said she was pregnant, and the father of the child didn't want to acknowledge the baby or marry her.

But she wanted to keep the child, and in desperation, she came to ask Jacob to take her in.

At that time, I was also pregnant, and naturally, I didn't want Jacob's first love moving in.

So, I politely refused her.

Lily left disappointed, and that day, Jacob gave me the cold shoulder.

Although he didn't say anything, his actions told me he blamed me for not taking Lily in.

That night, Jacob received a call from Lily.

Lily told him on the phone: "Jacob, are you abandoning me too? I have nothing left to live for in this world. I'm on the bridge now, goodbye forever!"

"Lily, don't do anything stupid, wait for me!" Jacob was in the middle of dinner, but he immediately put down his chopsticks, grabbed his car keys, and rushed out.

I watched Jacob leave the house in a hurry, driving to the bridge Lily mentioned.

My heart sank.

Jacob didn't return until dawn the next day. He sat dejectedly in the living room, smoking.

I came out of the bedroom and asked him, "How's Lily?"

"She's dead, along with her unborn child." Jacob's eyes were red, filled with regret and remorse. "Olivia, you shouldn't have turned her away. We had plenty of room in our house, why were you so heartless?"

I retorted, "Jacob, you think it's my fault? There are plenty of hotel rooms, why did she have to stay at our house?"

He didn't respond, just kept smoking.

From then on, we had a cold war for a while. As the baby in my belly grew bigger, he started to reflect on his behavior.

He realized it wasn't my fault.

He bought a car full of flowers to apologize to me.

He held my hand and said, "Olivia, I was wrong. It was Lily who couldn't cope, I shouldn't have blamed you."

For the sake of our unborn child, I forgave him.

From then on, he never mentioned the incident again and focused on our life together.

He made healthy smoothies for me every day, but I still miscarried.

I was devastated, and he comforted me: "Olivia, don't be sad. We'll have children in the future. Let me take you bungee jumping, they say when you jump from a high place, all your worries disappear."

I went bungee jumping with him to try and relieve my depression.

But he gave me a fatal blow.

It turned out he had never gotten over Lily, he had been resenting me all along, to the point of pushing me off from a great height.

Before pushing me, he cruelly told me: "Do you know why you couldn't keep the baby? Because I added ingredients harmful to pregnancy in the smoothies I made for you."

Recalling these past events, I trembled with anger.

He had actually harmed his own flesh and blood for Lily's sake.

I got out of bed and pulled open the curtains to look outside.

I had been reborn, back to the day Lily came to our door pregnant, asking for help.
