In my last life, my wife and I lived together for forty years, in harmony and love. My son was filial and smart and became a medical expert renowned both at home and abroad. With my children and grandchildren around me and my husband and wife living in harmony, I lived a happy life for sixty years.
After my death, my soul had been lingering in the world. But I was shocked to find that my loving wife never shed a tear for me.
After I was cremated, she was reluctant to bury me, but threw my urn in a warehouse full of garbage.
My son, who was famous for his filial piety, was anxiously urging his mother.
"Mom, book the cemetery quickly, Dad can't hold on any longer."
It turned out that he was not my biological son and each sixmonth overseas assignment was to enjoy the family happiness with his biological father. And my wife's regular sistertravel every year was also to reunite with her lover.
They used my money to support another man and they were reluctant to buy me a grave after I died.
I was in extreme pain and when I opened my eyes again, I heard the shouts of the crowd, "Someone fell into the water, hurry up and save her."
In the last life, Anne Jasmine Cooper and Stanley Gordon jumped into the river in anger, but at the critical moment of life and death, Stanley retreated.
As the son of a servant of the Cooper Family, I saved Anne regardless of my own safety and became a cripple because of this. She became my wife to thank me.
After rebirth, I pushed Stanley forward when he was about to escape.
In this life, I would take care of myself.
——
Stanley was pushed forward by me and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes and because there were so many people present, he had to give up.
"Mr. Gordon, where are you going? Miss Cooper fell into the water. Aren't you going to save her?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, I turned around and left without any reluctance.
But he blocked my way again.
Stanley looked at me coldly, "Charles, you are her servant. You have received such a great favor from the Cooper Family. Now is the time for you to repay the favor. Hurry up and save her! If Anne is in trouble, the Cooper Family will not let you go!"
In the previous life, Stanley was also there, but I was eager to save people and he became a deserter, so I had this opportunity.
I suppressed the sneer in my heart and said with embarrassment, "Mr. Gordon, I came to find you. I can't swim and you are the captain of the school swimming team. Of course, I have to give you this opportunity to save the beauty."
Everyone reacted at this time.
"Oh, this is Mr. Gordon. I heard that the Gordon Family and the Cooper Family had a baby marriage. Mr. Gordon, go down and save people!"
"I heard that Miss Cooper and Mr. Gordon were a campus celebrity couple in college. This is not a coincidence. A hero saves a beauty!"
Everyone talked about it. Stanley was a little bit caught in a dilemma.
I wanted to leave in the chaos, but suddenly Anne's cry for help sounded behind me.
"Charles, please save me! I know you like me. If you save me, I will marry you, okay?"
For a moment, everyone looked at me again.
Stanley's eyes were gloomy, "Oh, you don't take it seriously, do you? Anne and I quarreled and were angry, but your lady has spoken. Why don't you hurry down to save people?"
I turned my head to look at the woman in the river. The face I loved for decades, now without wrinkles and traces of time, young and beautiful. But my heart was torn apart the moment I saw her.
She knew I couldn't swim, but she couldn't bear to let her lover take risks.
I suppressed the bitterness and said in embarrassment, "Miss Cooper, I can't swim."
She almost couldn't wait, "Charles, just believe me. The emergency personnel will be here soon, you will be fine."
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 startup 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.
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.
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."
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.
