Seeing my calm expression, Anne felt inexplicably panicked, as if she was about to lose something.

She pretended to be calm and laughed sarcastically.

"Everyone in this city knows that you are my bootlicker, Charles, I might as well tell you straight, I like Stanley, if I hadn't been angry with him, you wouldn't even have a chance to save me!"

I wasn't angry, I just nodded, "Then I wish Miss Cooper and Mr. Gordon happiness and a baby soon! Besides, my amulet has been broken by Mr. Gordon, I'm afraid I won't live long, you don't have to worry about me bothering you anymore."

Anne stood up with a pale face, "How is it possible? I just, just borrowed it to wear, I didn't expect it to break."

"It doesn't matter." I looked at her calmly, "Just think of it as me returning this life to the Cooper Family."

She stood up in a panic, the fear of losing something made her dare not look directly at me.

She could only suppress her anxiety and sneered, "So what? You are a dog of our Cooper Family. We feed you and your son. Which of you is not from our Cooper Family? Even your life is mine!"

At this time, the voice of the nurse came from outside the door, "Miss Cooper, Mr. Gordon said that his wound hurts and he wants you to come over to take a look."

Anne glanced at me nervously. But I just lowered my head and my eyes, which were once full of love, were now only cold.

The panic surged in her heart again. But in a flash, she remembered that no matter how she treated me in the last life, I loved her without complaint.

As everyone knew, I, Charles, was her licking dog. As long as she gave me a little sweetness, let alone legs, I was willing to give her my life.

She was relieved, "I'll go see Stanley, I have to take good care of him. I will come to see you, don't be stubborn."

I was guarded and only occasionally heard the nurse's gossip.

Anne washed Stanley's feet. Anne helped Stanley to ask for a lucky charm and her knees were bruised. Anne personally made breakfast for Stanley every day... She returned all the things I did for her in the past to Stanley in this life.

I got up from the bed and heard vaguely I didn’t know what they were talking about, patellar transplantation. It turned out that Anne trapped me because she wanted to use my patella to save Stanley.

Sure enough, that night, Anne came to my ward. She was unusually considerate and enthusiastic and even took the initiative to help me check the wound and apply medicine.

I pushed her away coldly, "Miss Cooper, are you okay?"

My indifference made her a little flustered. But she still shook her head, after all, I loved her so much in my last life. Besides, it was just a leg.

"Charles, I promise you that the Cooper Family will take care of you for the rest of your life. Don’t you like me? I can be your girlfriend as long as you transplant the patella to Stanley."

I laughed until tears came out, "Anne, have you ever thought about how difficult my life would be if I became a cripple?"

She didn't care, "Stanley is so outstanding, he can't be disabled and... isn't it just one leg? You love me so much, can't you even bear to sacrifice this little bit?"

I looked at her and felt that decades had passed in a flash and all that was left was disgust.

In my last life, I suffered a lot of cold stares because of my lameness, but it turned out that she never felt sorry for me.

After a long time, I nodded, "Okay, but before that, I want to go see my mother."

Anne happily threw herself into my arms, "Charles, I know you love me the most."

The operation was scheduled for a week later.

Anne would call me every day to urge me to get ready.

During this period, I went to the hospital once to get medicine for my mother, but I accidentally ran into Anne who was accompanying Stanley for surgery rehabilitation.

Stanley opened his mouth to take the grapes that Anne fed him and asked, "Aren't you afraid that he will run away?"

Anne smiled and said, "Don't worry, his heart is with me, how can he run away? It's just a leg. Even if I ask him to give you his life, he won't refuse."

Stanley snorted and laughed, "You won't really agree to be his girlfriend, will you? You don't find that kind of cheap stuff disgusting."

Anne paused for a while, as if she had made up her mind, "Stanley, I only love you, I don't want to be separated from you anymore and he and I are just acting. Don't worry, he listens to me so much, he will definitely give you the patella obediently."

I lowered my eyes and smiled, but there was no more ripples in my heart. Suddenly, a message came on my phone, [Charles, the plane ticket has been bought, take a look.]

***

In a blink of an eye, a week has passed.

Early in the morning, Anne called me hurriedly.

"Charles, why haven't you come yet? The operation is about to start? If you are late and the operation is delayed, I will not forgive you."

At this point, she was still confident that I can do this operation.

I looked at the plane that was about to take off and smiled, "Sorry, Anne, in this life, you may still have to marry a cripple."

There was a sudden silence on the other side of the microphone and the next second, Anne's collapse shout came.

"Charles, are you also reborn..."

Before she finished, I hung up the phone directly.

The plane raised its head and rushed straight into the sky.

She didn't know that in this week, I had already paved a way out for myself using the memory of my previous life. I have tasted love a long time ago, it was not delicious, I didn’t want it.

I covered my mother with a blanket and cast my eyes to the blue sky.

In this life, I wanted to live for myself.
