After being reborn, I decisively deleted all of Anthony Reed's contact information.He chose to attend the University of Washington in Washington, while I chose Cornell University in New York.
My goal was to separate myself from him, to be far away where I would never encounter him again.
When Anthony came back during the holidays and asked me out for spaghetti, I flew abroad for vacation instead.
I blocked his WhatsApp account and ignored his emails without replying.
When he started working at my company, I immediately submitted my resignation letter.
I didn't even want to see his back.
In my previous life, I was obsessed with Anthony for twenty years, and was let down by him for twenty years.
In my thirties, I developed a terminal illness.
As I was dying, Anthony was busy preparing for his wedding to marry Anna Allen.
And Grace Reed, the adopted daughter we had raised together, was sweetly helping him arrange his suit.
I died alone in that hospital room, drawing my last breath.
I would never walk down such a ridiculous path again.
*****
When the heart monitor let out its piercing alarm, I was staring intently at the hospital room ceiling.
I had struggled to live for thirty-five years, but I never imagined my life would end in this small room reeking of disinfectant.
A voice rang out: "Blood pressure dropping continuously! Quick, prepare the epinephrine!"
The shouts of doctors and nurses gradually grew distant.
I had no family by my side, no friends to see me off on my final journey.
Anthony should be at the wedding venue right now, placing that diamond ring on Anna's finger—the ring he never bought for me.
And Grace, whom we had raised together for ten years, was probably sweetly holding their rings.
How ironic. The people I had loved with everything I had were celebrating my disappearance at the final moment of my life.
In the last second before my consciousness faded, I made a wish: "If there's a next life, I never want to meet Anthony again."
A voice called out: "Eleanor, get up! You're going to be late." Eleanor Ward is my name.
My mother Chloe Ward's voice yanked me back to reality.
