System could never have anticipated such a response from me.
It didn't understand why I was so obsessed with Nathaniel, cursing me a few times before shutting down in frustration.
Bored, I floated onto the car roof, propping my chin up as I looked towards the chaotic crowd.
I immediately spotted two familiar figures.
Mia was tugging at Nathaniel's sleeve and speaking, but he seemed not to hear her, only staring motionlessly at me.
Oh, no.
He was looking at my flattened corpse, crushed by the truck.
Everything around seemed to freeze.
It was only after a long while that he suddenly pushed Mia away and stumbled towards "me".
Along the way, he fell, with blood streaming from his palm.
My body was beyond recognition, and after just one glance, he turned away, unable to bear it.
I was standing further away, seeing him part his lips as if murmuring to himself.
I hurriedly flew over and got close to him.
But the moment I heard what he said, a bolt of lightning exploded in my mind.
He said, "Elara, you'll be alright."
"I know you're a player who can be reborn."
"You've died twice before, and you came back both times."
"This time will be the same, won't it?"
Speaking thus, he seemed to regain his faith, took a deep breath, wiped his face, and declared firmly, "I'll wait for you to come back."
I was utterly shocked.
No wonder—
no wonder Nathaniel knew that suggesting a breakup could easily control me.
Because he knew from the start that I was a player.
But he didn't know that it was my last chance to play.
Nathaniel, I can't come back.
The ambulance and police car arrived simultaneously. When the doctors tried to move my body onto the vehicle, Nathaniel held them back tightly:
"Don't touch Elara, she's not dead. She'll wake up in a few days."
Everyone exchanged glances.
The doctor comforted him, "Mr. Cavendish, I know it's hard for you to accept, but your girlfriend has passed away. You need to take care of yourself."
Hearing the phrase "pass away," Nathaniel's emotions flared up.
He grabbed the doctor's white coat, veins bulging on his arm, shouting:
"Shut up! She isn't dead, how could she die? She's obviously—"
His words cut off abruptly.
I saw the nurse give him an injection, likely a sedative.
He grunted in discomfort, covering his arm and stepping back, soon collapsing onto the stretcher.
The atmosphere inside the ambulance was heavy.
No one spoke during the journey.
Until the nurse who helped clean Nathaniel's wounds let out a low cry.
Everyone followed her gaze and saw—
Nathaniel was crying.
He was still in a state of unconsciousness, without clear awareness, but the tears spilling from the corners of his eyes had already dampened the dark stretcher.
"He must have been very close with his girlfriend, right?"
"Sigh, it's truly a pity."
Hearing these comments, I couldn't help but scoff.
If they had seen Nathaniel before, they would know how much he hated me.
