Chapter 2

After barely making it out, I collapsed to the ground. The burns on my back made me feel intense pain all over. But more than the pain, I felt relieved.

Compared to the tragic end last time, now it's just a few injuries, which is nothing at all! I followed the ambulance to the hospital.

There were quite a few injured people today, and my injuries weren't serious.

After a simple bandage, I was ready to leave. But to my surprise, as I passed a certain ward, I faintly heard Adeline's voice.

By now, Adeline should have been burned to ashes, right? I must be hearing things. I shook my head. But then, the voice sounded again.

I moved a step to the side and quietly opened the door to the ward. Sure enough, I saw Adeline inside. I frowned, feeling a bit disappointed.

Adeline really had a strong life.

Thanks to me in the previous life, she survived, and now she didn't die either.

I only needed to deal with widowhood, but now I have to prepare for divorce too, what a hassle! I cursed silently in my heart and was about to leave.

Just then, Adeline turned her head and saw me.

At the same time, I saw her left side, her face red and blackened. I was stunned for two seconds before realizing Adeline was disfigured! "Asher! Are you here to enjoy my misfortune on purpose?"

I ignored her and shifted my gaze to the man in a wheelchair by the hospital bed.

Then I realized that the Finn she mentioned was indeed her first love. After I fell in love with Adeline at first sight, I found out she already had a boyfriend.

I had to hide my feelings but couldn't help paying attention to her.

Until I heard from a friend that Adeline's boyfriend, Finn, not only betrayed her but also went abroad. Seeing her crying and drinking, I felt heartbroken.

I thought of my friend's advice to take advantage of the situation. Six months later, Adeline confessed to me, and we got together. I promised her that I would always cherish her and treat her like a treasure.

I wanted to tell her I wouldn't be like Finn.

But I never expected she would betray me for someone like Finn. I smirked sarcastically, looking at these two despicable people in front of me, and opened the ward door to go inside.

Adeline immediately looked at me warily, threatening: "Asher, I'm warning you! If you dare hurt Finn, I won't let you off!" Even in this new life, with only hatred in my heart for her, I couldn't help but feel hurt by her actions.

Her blatant favoritism made our three-year marriage feel like a joke. I sneered, with a mocking smile on my face: "Don't worry, I have no interest in bullying a cripple!"

At that, Finn's face turned ugly. Adeline immediately defended, "Asher, stop looking down on people. Finn got hurt because he was saving me!"

"He's nothing like someone as selfish as you!" She had said everything.

My reason for entering the ward was just to get a closer look at her miserable state. After all, she had harmed me so badly in the last life.

Although it's just disfigurement now, it counts as her just desserts. Without a house, I had many things to consider and no time to chat with them here. After admiring the scene, I was ready to turn and leave.

But Adeline suddenly reached out to stop me.

She commanded, "You're just in time. From now on, you're responsible for taking care of Finn!" "He hasn't eaten yet. Go get him some food right now!"
