Chapter 2

When I heard Adrian tell me to get in the car, I was stunned.

In seven years, this was the first time.

Before, he was always very harsh with me, looking as if he despised me to the bone.

Not only did he never let me touch his car, but he also said that a woman of my class getting into his car would be an embarrassment to him.

I remember once when I accidentally steadied myself by touching his car door, he immediately pushed me down, and the next day he even sold the new car he had bought less than three months ago.

But now, he was actively telling me to get in the car.

For a moment, I really couldn't react.

The people around us were also stunned, including Camilla.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Adrian, their gazes full of surprise.

It wasn't until this moment that Adrian seemed to belatedly realize his own slip, a flash of panic unlike his usual self crossing his eyes, but he quickly returned to his usual indifferent demeanor.

"She's the only one in the city with the rare blood type. I just thought that if it gets dark and the roads are slippery, it would be a waste of all that rare blood if she froze to death outside."

"For Camilla's safety, I have to ensure this blood bag doesn't have any accidents."

This reason, I had already guessed in my heart earlier.

Hearing him say this, I didn't feel much turmoil in my heart.

After all, Adrian being madly in love with Camilla was something everyone knew.

Once when Camilla made a mistake at work and was just scolded by her supervisor, Adrian directly brought down that company.

He even used his family connections to blacklist that supervisor, completely ruining his career.

Now, for Camilla's safety, he reluctantly let me get in the car once, which was normal.

However, I get carsick anyway, so I still declined his kindness.

"No need, I'll just walk back."

Adrian's face immediately turned cold.

"Suit yourself."

With that, he got in the car and left without looking back.

Immediately, a burst of mocking laughter erupted around me.

"Adrian just took pity on you for a moment, and you're getting cocky? Did you really think anyone could get in Adrian's car?"

"With such poor judgment, no wonder Adrian hasn't even bothered to look at you properly in seven years."

Camilla even gave me a smug smile from the car.

But I just wrapped my coat tighter and turned to walk towards my home in this world.

The night sky in this world was different from my hometown's.

Looking at the unfamiliar starry sky, I couldn't help but think of my husband.

Although the system had temporarily saved his life.

But after not seeing each other for seven years, he must be very worried about me now.

But fortunately, all this was about to end.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile slightly.

But just then, someone suddenly pushed me hard from behind.

Caught off guard, I fell directly into the cold lake water.

I had just donated 600cc of blood and was already weak, now I felt like my whole body was turning into an ice cube, unable to move.

Struggling in the freezing cold water, I saw Camilla standing on the shore, looking at me with a cold smile.

"Well, well, if it isn't our little wife Evelyn? Still alive, are you?"

She walked to my hospital bed, looking down at me with contempt in her voice.

"I'm surprised you actually signed the surgery consent form. I thought you'd refuse to save my life for the sake of your pathetic self-respect."

"Looks like you do have some self-awareness after all."

"You know that the only use for your worthless life is to save mine."

She paused, her tone becoming even more cutting.

"But don't even think about marrying Adrian."

"Forget about me not agreeing, Adrian's family would never allow it."

"How could they possibly let someone like you, with such an unclear background, marry into their wealthy family?"

With that, Camilla took a bank card out of her pocket and threw it onto my hospital bed.

"Take this money after the surgery and get as far away as possible."

"If you ever show up in front of Adrian and me again, you'll face the consequences."

But I looked at the bank card and just shook my head.

I was about to leave this world anyway, what use did I have for money?

"I don't need your money."

Camilla's face immediately darkened.

"You're asking for trouble!"

"Since you care so much about your image in Adrian's eyes, I'll make sure you give up completely."

The next moment, she grabbed the bowl of hot medicine Adrian had left on the table and suddenly splashed it on her own face.

Then, she covered her face and started screaming loudly, pretending to be in pain.

"Ah! It's so hot!"

She moaned in pain while secretly glancing at me from the corner of her eye, her lips curling into a sinister cold smile, but her voice still pretending to be sincere:

"Miss Evelyn, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I didn't realize the medicine was so hot."

"But if doing this makes you feel better, I won't tell Adrian you splashed me."

I saw through Camilla's poor acting at a glance.

It was the same old trick.

She had used this method to frame me more than once or twice.

Every time, Adrian would punish me without considering the consequences.

Sure enough, the next moment Adrian pushed open the door and walked in.

He saw this scene, and his face immediately turned ugly. He then quickly walked up to me and raised his hand, about to hit me.

But the next moment, his hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, followed by a sigh.

"Evelyn, don't let this happen again."
