Yet, he sneered, "Everyone knows she is desperately in love with me. And she is even carrying my baby. She's playing a manipulative game. If I chase her, I'd be falling right into her trap."
But in fact, I had been given a second chance at life.
In my previous life, I successfully proposed to him, but the young woman he saved, Kelly Wilson, attempted suicide by slashing her wrists.
Consequently, Devin locked me up at home like a prisoner.
He even broke both my legs, even though he knew that I loved to dance.
On the day I gave birth, he strangled our baby, which led to my hemorrhage and death.
Luckily, I'd been given a second chance at life now.
I decided to fulfill his wishes this time...

My thigh burned painfully.
With a jolt, I got my consciousness instantly.
A nurse carefully wrapped my legs in gauze and said softly, "The antiseptic will sting a bit. Please hold on."
Beside her, Devin sneered disdainfully, "Are you feeling painful now? If not for you, I would have caught the drug dealer. You're more trouble than you're worth."
I looked down at my legs without saying a word. They were still there, in good condition.
In my previous life, Devin broke my legs to avenge Kelly.
It had been too long since I'd seen my legs intact.
The other police officers in the hospital room gave Devin subtle glances.
They were present when Devin tried to catch the criminal.
The two drug dealers were both muscular, and one of them held a gun.
If I hadn't bravely shielded Devin, the gun would have been aimed at his heart.
Devin's face turned cold instantly as he saw that I kept silent. He kicked a chair angrily. "Braelynn, it's enough. You secretly followed me to the scene and interfered with our duty. Do you know what stupid thing you have done? And now you dare pull a long face at me. I've told you that I would do whatever you want me to after you saved my life. What more do you want?"
He seemed furious and was about to beat me.
The passionate young man had now changed to be cold and irritable.
He seemed to have forgotten that he had vowed to protect me with his life.
In fact, he hadn't forgotten.
He simply chose another woman.
My gaze lingered on Jordy's hand, and I noticed the ring, which I put around his finger on the very day we started dating, was gone.
Instead, it was a handmade plain ring with a ridiculous puppy design in the same place.
I knew it was Kelly's handiwork.
She was a poor, innocent orphan who was eighteen years old. Devin met her six months ago.
With a helpless smile, I looked up and asked him, "Can I ask you to do anything?"
Devin was stunned, and his gaze drifted to the ring around his finger.
He might remember something, and his face became more unsightly. He seemed to be agitated.
Yet, he said through gritted teeth, "Yes, you can ask me to do anything."
A few young police officers gathered around and watched us.
They knew me and were aware that Devin and I had been in a relationship for ten years. "She has saved your life. How about giving yourself to her, Devin?"
They burst into laughter.
"Right. Devin, Braelynn said last year that she wanted to get married before thirty. Hurry up!"
"Exactly, I've already prepared the wedding gift."
Just as I was about to refuse, the nurse suddenly rushed into the ward. "Mr. Holt, something's wrong. The young woman you saved earlier is attempting to slash her wrists."
