Aiden couldn’t hear anything else. The word “deceased” hammered into his heart.
Suddenly, a metallic taste filled his throat. He clutched his chest in agony.
Harsh cries tore from his throat, frightening those around him.
“Sir, please accept our condolences.” The staff looked at him sympathetically.
His tall frame swayed unsteadily, his eyes bloodshot.
“I don’t believe it. How could she be dead? She’s lived through one lifetime already, it’s impossible.”
“Chloe, you must be tricking me…”

“Chloe, you must be tricking me…”
The staff watched him ramble incoherently, shaking their heads helplessly.
The immense guilt was replaced by grief. He could have saved her, but he chose someone else instead.
When Chloe’s father and Lily heard the news and rushed over,
Her father looked at the results on paper, tears streaming down his weathered face.
His hands shook as he handed the paper to the staff.
“You must have made a mistake. How could this be my daughter? She was alive and well. I never even got to talk to her properly!”
Father collapsed into a chair, clutching his heart. Lily stepped forward to ask,
“Dad, are you alright? Now that big sis is gone, I’ll always be here for you.”
At her words, the two grief–stricken men looked at her with a hint of resentment in their tear–filled eyes.
“Chloe isn’t dead!” they roared in unison.
Lily opened and closed her mouth, struggling to find her voice.
“Father, Aiden, I know it’s hard to accept big sis’s sudde
The two men were stunned. Dislike her? Never.
passing. But didn’t you both dislike her? How could you…”
Whether in their past life or this one, Chloe had always been first in their hearts.
Even if she made mistake after mistake.
As for why, they deeply regretted their actions now.
Aiden slumped to the ground as memories came flooding back.
“Dislike…”

“How could I ever dislike her…”
In their previous life, Aiden had knelt before Chloe’s father for three days and nights before he relented and allowed Aiden to see Chloe, choosing him as her fiancé.
But Chloe’s mother had thought of her cold–hearted father even on her deathbed. Her father had missed her final moments due to work.
She passed away in tears.
So Chloe directed all her resentment towards her father,
Lacking a sense of family warmth over time, her personality became increasingly unstable and extreme.
She even hated the fiancé her father had chosen along with him

She even hated the fiancé her father had chosen along with him.
When Aiden leamed that the men Chloe kept had killed her, he went on a murderous rampage and tried to save her life with his
own blood.
Thinking he would die with her, he had hoped they would be reborn together.
Just as he returned to the day her father chose her fiancé, he saw Chloe looking at him with tender eyes. Her father’s shocked expression made him realize they had all been reborn.
As for why he chose Lily,
In their past life, just before Aiden died, he saw Lily frantically trying to save him. So this time he wanted to repay her.
Or perhaps it was killing two birds with one stone – giving Lily what she wanted while using her to make Chloe cherish their relationship.
So this time he and her father came to an agreement. They couldn’t let her repeat her past mistakes. The two men steeled their hearts against her.
Aiden had thought he could make Chloe change her ways and treasure their love. He never calculated that things would go this far.
Now, the two grown men knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. Aiden clutched the “memento” the staff had given him to his chest. The next moment, Chloe’s father collapsed from grief.
While Aiden’s throat filled with blood, spewing out a mouthful in his agitated state.
With trembling hands, he wiped the blood off the “memento” and tucked it preciously into his coat.
Even as he passed out and the doctors tried to save him, he gripped it tightly, refusing to let go.
