Chapter 2
I was stunned.
She said guiltily, "I'm just guessing."
I was almost sure that she was also reborn. After two lives, she still refused to let me go. Anger almost burned through my rationality.
I clenched my fists tightly, looking embarrassed, "Miss Cooper, Mr. Gordon and you are childhood sweethearts, I can't steal his limelight and how dare I like you? You just misunderstood."
After speaking, the scene was silent.
Anne almost forgot to struggle and stood in the water blankly.
I didn’t know if it was an illusion, but there was a trace of panic in her eyes besides shock.
I turned around neatly and left the scene.
In the last life, Anne fell into the water and I jumped down to save her without hesitation. The wire scraped my leg. When I was rescued to the shore, the wound was already visible to the bone. Even though the doctor tried his best later, he couldn't save it.
I became a cripple.
Anne became my girlfriend to thank me.
Two years later, we got married.
A year after marriage, we gave birth to a smart and lovely son. As my son grew up day by day, the burden on me became heavier and heavier.
Because of my disability, I suffered from contempt and cold treatment.
For my wife and son, I worked three jobs every day and I worked my way up from a cement worker to a contractor and finally a builder.
I couldn't bear to let Anne suffer, so I bought her the biggest house, the latest bags and I gave her all the income from the company as soon as possible.
Just because she said "pink diamonds are so beautiful", I crossed the whole of Africa, picked out the biggest pink diamond and personally carved a unique ring for her. On the way back, I encountered armed robbers and I almost lost my life to save this ring.
When my son grew up, I sent him to the most expensive school and a cram school that cost 200 dollars an hour. I picked him up and dropped him off in person regardless of wind or rain. Eventually, I trained him to become a medical expert renowned overseas.
When he got married, I took out 100 million as the start-up capital for their small family and also gave him two villas with a market value of 200 million dollar.
A few years later, he had a child and I started to take care of his grandchildren again.
I did all the housework, big or small. I never let Anne do housework. I liked her to be beautiful and outspoken forever. Out of trust, I gave her all the savings, bonds, stock funds and jewelry in the family for safekeeping.
I worked hard for this family, but I collapsed in the office at the age of 60 due to overwork.
In front of the hospital bed, I was dying.
My grandson lay beside me and called me grandpa sweetly. My son held my hand with red eyes and Anne turned away and dared not look at me. With children and grandchildren around my knees and husband and wife in harmony, I had lived a happy life for 60 years.
Perhaps because I stayed too far away from the world, my soul did not reincarnate for a long time after my death.
Because of this, when I took my last breath, my wife turned around with a calm face.
My son wiped his tears and said to the nurse as if nothing had happened, "Pull out the tube and vacate the ward for other people."
The grandson threw himself into his arms, "Dad, did I act well? The reward you promised me must not be counted."
I was stunned.
My body was quickly packed and sent to the funeral home.
My wife did not inform any of my relatives and friends, but just hastily posted a circle of friends, "Charles passed away this morning. He meant to keep everything simple. I hope everyone will not be too sad."
My son went back to work on the day I died.
Under the firelight, I saw my body turning into powder bit by bit and flying into the air.
Chapter 3
The woman waiting in the hall buried her head and read the message, as if the things burning in the hot furnace behind her had nothing to do with her.
"Charles, he is dead, I only have you."
My soul floated in front of her, watching her flirt with another man and talk to each other.
Later, my urn was taken home by her.
My son urged, "Mom, book a cemetery quickly, Dad is dying. Do you want to be buried with this man?"
It turned out that my beloved son was not my own son at all. He was sent to see his father every year. And the travel photos that Anne posted on Instagram in those years were just taken for me after being intimate with men.
I saw them guarding Stanley's bed and Anne cried bitterly, "Stanley, you will get better."
My ashes were still thrown in the warehouse by them and they had already started to prepare for the funeral of another man.
On the day Stanley died, Anne stood in front of the newly bought grave with a sad face, "I owe Stanley my life. After I die, I want to be buried with him."
My son nodded and choked up, "Mom, don't worry, you will definitely be with Dad."
Sixty years of time seemed like a joke.
I was in extreme pain and I rushed towards the mother and son in anger, but my body became lighter and lighter. When I opened my eyes again, I was here.
God actually gave me another chance. In this life, I decided to live for myself!
After returning home, I immediately found my mother and proposed the idea of leaving the Cooper Family.
My mother looked embarrassed, "The Cooper Family has treated us well and we can't forget our roots."
I said earnestly, "Mom, do you want to watch your son be a servant for the rest of his life? Besides, we have repaid the kindness for so many years."
My mother still hesitated, "But, don't you like Miss Cooper?"
For so many years, she had seen my efforts for Anne and naturally knew what I was thinking.
I shook my head bitterly, "Mom, you misunderstood, I don't like her."
Before I finished speaking, Anne, who was wet, rushed over and slapped me hard.
When she was about to hit me for the second time, I grabbed her wrist and slapped her hard.
She gnashed her teeth, "You still dare to resist?! Charles! Why didn't you save me?"
I took a step back, my face calm, "I can't swim."
Anne frowned, "Didn't you say you would die for me?!"
She still remembered the oath I made in front of her, but she had completely forgotten how she betrayed me.
I laughed, "Miss Cooper, how can you take a servant's words to make you happy seriously?"
Anne was stunned, with shock and disbelief flashing in her eyes.
Yes, you should know that I didn't dare to say a harsh word in front of her in the past.
I was about to leave with my mother and she suddenly called me.
"Stop! It's all because of you that Stanley’s leg was injured. If he becomes a cripple, I won't let you go! Go to the hospital and apologize to the Gordon Family now!"
Looking at her angry eyes, my heart was just desolate.
Ten years of unrequited love, forty years of marriage, I loved her to the bone and I couldn’t bear her to suffer a little. I had never been guilty, but in her heart, I was just Stanley's scapegoat. Not to mention the last life.
Stanley relied on his large numbers to make me pretend to be a dog and eat dog food, pushed me down the mountain and made me lick their shoes...
The Gordon Family had always doted on this only child. Now asking me to apologize to them was nothing more than pushing me to death.
I wanted to take my mother away. But Anne called someone to press me to the ground.
Chapter 4
Mom kept prostrated, "Miss Cooper, since Charles once saved you, please let him live! I beg to you!"
Anne just turned her head away, "Charles, if you don't want your mother to get into trouble, just go with me obediently."
I almost gritted my teeth, "Okay, I'll go with you."
She saw the hatred hidden in my eyes and was stunned.
After a moment, she suddenly pulled off the amulet on my neck.
As if she was holding back her anger, she said, "It's useless for someone like you. You're worthless. Leave it to Stanley!"
My eyes were red with anger, "Anne, that's what my father left me. Give it back to me!"
How could she not know?
In the previous life, I tied this amulet around her neck with great care on the day she gave birth.
I said to her, "Anne, the year I was born, a priest said that I had a disaster in my life. My father knelt and climbed three thousand steps to ask for this amulet for me and told me that I couldn't leave the amulet. Now I give it to you and I hope you and your child are safe."
But after I died, she burned it and all my belongings.
Hearing this, Anne paused slightly and the next second, she strode away.
***
I was thrown in the corridor of the hospital.
Anne whispered in my ear, "Just apologize and let the Gordon Family forgive you. I can still keep you working in the Cooper Family."
After the words fell, the door of the ward opened and Stanley’s parents walked out with gloomy faces.
"Are you the servant?" Mrs. Gordon rushed over and kicked me to the ground.
"It's all because of you. My son will be a disabled person for the rest of his life! You are a worthless life, why should I let my son go down to save people?"
Several men rushed over and kicked and beat me. I felt that my limbs were in pain as if they were about to break apart.
"Enough." Anne came over, as if she couldn't bear to see the wounds on my body, "Go and apologize to Stanley."
Blood flowed from my forehead and my sight was blood red.
The coldness in her eyes loosened a little and she subconsciously reached out to help me wipe the blood off. I dodged and staggered to stand up.
"Will you let my mother go as long as I apologize?" I asked her.
Anne clenched her fist, "As long as Stanley forgives you, I promise that nothing will happen to your mother."
I nodded and walked into the ward. The people outside immediately locked the door of the ward from the outside.
An hour later, I walked out again.
Anne's eyes widened when she saw me, "Charles! You!"
"Mr. Gordon has already vented his anger, you can let my mother go."
After saying that, I fainted on the ground. I had many deep wounds on my body and there was almost no good skin on my forehead, limbs and body.
The nurse who came to bandage me couldn't bear to look at it.
Anne put a thermos bucket in front of me, "I heard that you had a fever before you came. Eat something. I made it myself."
How ridiculous, in the last life, I doted on her so much that I even had to remove the seeds from the watermelon before feeding her.
In this life, because of Stanley, she actually took the initiative to cook.
I turned my head away, "Miss Cooper, I'm out of my temper now, can I leave now?"
Her face suddenly changed and she threw the thermos bucket heavily to the ground.
"Charles, what's the tone of your voice? If you hadn't left me alone, Stanley wouldn't have had to go into the water to save me and nothing would have happened! Don't you like me? Why didn't you save me?!"
I just said in a light tone, "How can a lowly servant like me like you? Miss Cooper must have misunderstood."
