Chapter 3
After pushing through the pain and getting her wounds treated at the hospital, Emma took the prescription and headed to the pharmacy window–only to spot a few familiar figures outside the next ward.
Isaac, Anthony, and Mateo were standing outside Janet’s room, their faces full of worry and heartache.
“I’ve said it before, Janet’s too soft. If she stays there, she’s just going to keep suffering. Once the marriage is finalized, I’ll find a way to get her out, no matter what. I don’t want her to go through this anymore.”
“Now that our parents know Janet’s the one we really care about, we have to make sure she’s protected. So no matter who Emma chooses, that has to accept the marriage and go along with it. That’s the only way the family won’t come after Janet

Emma stood there quietly, listening to every word, and suddenly felt her chest tighten.
So this was why they had gone along with the marriage in the previous life even when they clearly did not want to.
They thought they were protecting someone they loved even if it meant sacrificing their own happiness.
Yet, in doing so, they wrecked hers.
She looked down and laughed bitterly, tears blurring her vision.
They could relax this time as no one would have to sacrifice anything.

Once she collected herself, she wiped away her tears and turned to leave–only for her phone alarm to go off suddenly.
The sharp ringtone startled the three men. When they opened the door
and saw her standing there, they all froze in surprise.
“You’re here? Are you planning to apologize to Janet?”
“How much did you hear just now?”
“What’s with all those injuries? What happened to you?”
They all spoke at once, questions flying at her.
Emma answered calmly, one by one. “I got hurt because you pushed me aside to get to Janet. I came here to get treatment, not to apologize. She spilled the hot coffee on me first, and I pushed her away. Running into you here was just a coincidence.
Hearing her words, the three men fell silent, their expressions shifting into something more complicated.
After a moment, Anthony was the first to speak.
“Janet didn’t mean to spill the coffee. She’s still recovering, so her hands are weak. Don’t be mad at her. When we walked in and saw all that blood, we thought it was serious. That’s why we lost it. I’m sorry.”
Isaac also took a breath and calmed down. “We weren’t trying to blame you earlier. We just felt bad for Janet, so we said a few things on her behalf.”
“Yeah,” Mateo added, “we all grew up together. You’ve always been the one who mattered most to us. Have you thought about the marriage?”

As soon as he asked, the three of them stared at Emma, clearly nervous about her response.
Emma looked at them, her expression unreadable. After what she had just overheard, all she felt was a bitter irony.
“Thought it through?” She gave a cold smile. “I… ”
Before she could finish, a sudden loud beeping came from the monitor in Janet’s room.
Their faces changed instantly, and they all rushed back in to check. Medical staff poured into the ward right after them.
“The patient’s kidneys were already compromised after the second trauma,” a doctor explained urgently. “We didn’t catch it in time and administered the wrong medication. It’s led to acute kidney failure. Her condition is very serious now!”
Isaac’s face went pale, his eyes red with panic.
“How could you mess this up? She’s still so young! If you ruin her life because of negligence, can you live with that?”
Anthony grabbed the doctor by the collar and barked furiously, “You’ve got half an hour. I want a treatment plan that guarantees results. If anything happens to her, you’ll answer for it.”
Mateo was already on the phone, frantically calling every contact he had.
“Dr. Zimmerman, you’re the best nephrologist in the country. Please, this is urgent. I need your help to save someone extremely important. Where are you now? I’ll send my secretary to pick you up right away.”
The whole ward was in chaos. Everyone was on edge, trying

everything they could for Janet.
Soon, the hospital pulled together a special team and quickly outlined the only viable solution.
“She needs a kidney transplant as soon as possible,” one specialist explained. “But finding the right donor will take time. And the longer we wait, the higher the risk to her life.”
