Husband Breaks His Leg
Not only did I not rush to take him to the hospital, but I also sent him to the hospital farthest from us.
Just because in his past life, to help his childhood friend Alice Howard, who was interning at the hospital, successfully become a full-fledged doctor, Easton chose to jump from the third floor.
He gave up on nearby hospitals and instead went to a faraway one, making me drive over 1,864 miles to find Alice.
At the time, I considered that Alice was just a Community College student who got into the hospital through connections and wasnt qualified to perform surgery, so I refused Eastons suggestion.
However, Easton suddenly slapped me.
Easton said, "I just want to use my injury to help Alice get a permanent position. Are you really fussing over such a small matter?"
Seeing his insistence on seeking Alice for treatment, I was afraid that delaying too long would leave his leg permanently disabled, so I had to bring his mother, Olivia Anderson, to help persuade him.
However, because she didnt get a permanent position in time, Alice felt overwhelmed with shame and anger and jumped to her death at the hospital.
And Easton, thanks to timely treatment, successfully kept his legs.
However, on the day he was discharged, I happily went to pick him up, only to be killed by him in a car accident.
Before I died, I unwillingly and angrily questioned him, but he looked at me with disgust and said, "If you hadn't stopped me from making Alice permanent, she wouldn't have died."
When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day Easton broke his legs.
*****
Easton shouted, "Hannah, what are you standing there for? Can't you see my legs are broken? Hurry up and take me to the hospital where Alice is interning." Hannah Ramos is my name.
At this moment, Easton's familiar words echoed in my ears. I suddenly snapped out of my daze and saw that I was standing perfectly fine at home.
In front of me was Easton, who had fallen from the third floor and couldn't move.
He endured the pain of his broken legs, looking at me with disdain and wariness. "Hannah, if you dare send me to the nearest hospital again and make me lose Alice, I swear I'll make you die even more miserably than in the last life."
Easton's words cleared the last bit of confusion in my mind.
At this moment, I was certain that I had been reborn, and Easton had also been reborn.
In the previous life, Easton saved me from my burning home while pursuing me.
Later, I willingly married him, using the inheritance my parents left me to support his dream of starting a business. I helped him become a young CEO in the tech innovation industry.
When he got off work, I was still at the company writing proposals for him until midnight.
Even when Olivia was sick and had surgery, I personally took care of her and never let anyone replace me.
I devoted all my effort and energy to this family and his career.
In the end, all my hard work couldn't compare to Alice's request for a promotion.
Just because I didn't follow his request to take him to Alice's hospital, and after Alice failed to get promoted and jumped off the building, he blamed me for not taking him to Alice for treatment, so he drove and killed me.
How ridiculous! My sacrifices ended in a bloody, tragic death.
Since he wants Alice to perform the surgery, this time, I'll grant his wish.
I wondered, "With a journey over 1864 miles, will his leg still be salvageable by the time we arrive?"
Easton shouted, "Hannah, hurry up and take me to Alice's hospital. She's waiting for me. If you dare disobey, think about the consequences."
Afraid I wouldn't listen, Easton kept yelling at me.
Olivia came out of the house at this moment. Seeing Easton like this, she was furious.
She roared, "Have you lost your mind? Alice's hospital is 1864 miles away. By the time you get there, can your leg still be saved? No, Hannah, take him to the nearest hospital immediately."
I sneered inwardly but pretended to look troubled as I glanced at Olivia. "But Easton insists on going to Alice's hospital."
Olivia said, "No way! Who doesn't know Alice's education background? A Community College student, what skills does she have to perform surgery? Hannah, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and take Easton to the nearest hospital for treatment."
Easton shouted, "I'm not going. If you don't take me to Alice's hospital as I said, I'll die right here in front of you."
Seeing Olivia's firm attitude, Easton also resisted strongly, glaring fiercely at me and Olivia.
I couldn't help but sneer, then pretended to sigh helplessly and said, "Olivia, let's just do what Easton wants. I'll take him there now."
Olivia shouted, "No way!" Her attitude was equally firm at this moment. "Easton is being foolish, are you too? What level is Alice at? What illness can she even treat?"
Before Olivia could finish her words, Easton shouted like a madman, "I won't let you talk about Alice like that. Do you think I don't know if she's capable or not?"
Easton then glared at me viciously. "She just wants to get a promotion, she wouldn't gamble with my life, let alone harm me. Hannah, you've always been narrow-minded. If it weren't for you acting on your own, Alice wouldn't have died."
I knew he was talking about the events of the previous life, but I didnt want to reveal that I was reborn too. Seeing Olivia looking puzzled on the side, I also asked in confusion, "Easton, what are you talking about? How could Alice die?"
Easton looked at me suspiciously, seemingly convinced that I wasnt reborn like him, and a trace of arrogance and glee flashed in his eyes. Then, he said coldly, "Hurry up and take me there. Otherwise, Hannah, if Alice dies, you wont survive either."
I instantly clenched my fists. My nails dug deep into the flesh of my palms, keeping the hatred in my heart from bursting out.
The scene of being run over by a car repeatedly in my previous life instantly flooded my mind. I didnt want to experience that pain and despair a second time.
Since Easton could say this, he must be capable of doing it. But in this life, I wont give him that chance again.
Olivia, still clueless about the reason, continued, "I think youve really lost it. Hannah, just tie him up and drag him into the car for me."
At this moment, Olivia was clearly furious with him. I didnt want to make it too obvious or let Easton realize that I was reborn too, so I pretended to follow Olivias words and walked toward Easton.
However, Easton suddenly picked up an object nearby and hurled it at my face. "You b*tch! If you dare not take me to Alice's hospital, Ill kill you right now."
The heavy object struck my head hard, causing Olivia to gasp in shock. Taking the chance, Easton grabbed my arm and yanked me forcefully to the ground. Then, he raised both fists, ready to slam them down on my head.
Even with his legs broken, I couldnt break free for a moment due to the difference in strength between men and women.
Olivia screamed in fear. Seeing that Easton was really about to hit me, she quickly shouted, "Enough! Stop hitting her! If you hurt Hannah, whos going to take you to Alice?"
Finally, Olivia gave in.
Easton indeed stopped. I clutched my aching head and got up from the ground. Seeing the smug look on his face, my resentment grew even stronger.
This 1864-mile journey took me a day and night of nonstop driving. By the afternoon of the second day, we finally arrived.
Olivia and I urgently admitted him to the hospital. Then, Olivia tried to schedule his surgery. The moment Easton saw that the attending doctor wasnt Alice, he tore up the surgery agreement.
Easton shouted, "I said, I only want Alice to perform my surgery."
The nurse nearby kindly reminded, "But Alice isn't at the hospital today. Your leg looks serious and can't be delayed any longer. Why not choose another doctor for the surgery?"
Olivia anxiously wanted to persuade him, but Easton took out his phone and called Alice on the spot.
The moment the call connected, Alice's sweet voice came through. "Easton, are you there already? Sorry, I thought you wouldn't arrive so soon. I'm walking my dog right now. Please wait for me. I'll head over right away."
Olivia stood nearby, fuming with her chest heaving and rolling her eyes nonstop.
Easton said, "It's okay, I'll wait for you. This time, with me here, you'll definitely get promoted."
Watching Easton endure the pain while pretending to be gentle, I just found it ridiculous and ironic.
I hadnt rested for a whole day and night, not even had a sip of water. Yet, I didnt get a single word of concern from him.
But now, I don't need any of that anymore.
In this life, I want to see his legs completely rot away.
We waited a long time, but Alice still didnt show up.
Seeing the growing urgency and worry on Easton's face, even the doctor nearby couldnt hold back. He turned to me and said, Youre his wife, right? His leg cant be delayed any longer. If its delayed further, his leg will be completely ruined. Youd better find someone else to perform the surgery quickly.
However, Easton's face instantly darkened. "You just want to take Alice's job opportunity. Forget it. I insist that Alice perform my surgery."
Immediately, Easton gave me a cold, warning look. "Let me tell you, only Alice can treat my legs. If she doesnt come, Ill wait until she does. If you dont want to force me to divorce you, you better behave."
I didnt want to talk to him. From the moment I was reborn, I never planned to stay with him.
What Im more interested in now is seeing how an inexperienced intern doctor from a Community College, who got in through connections, will treat him.
An hour later, Alice finally arrived, wearing high heels and heavy makeup.
Olivia was already very anxious. Seeing her appear, Olivia quickly pushed the surgical cart, ready to wheel Easton into the operating room. "She's here. Hurry up and start the surgery now."
However, Alice, who had rushed over, grabbed the hospital bed and asked in confusion, "Weren't you asking me to perform the surgery on him?"
Olivia resisted the urge to roll her eyes and looked her up and down. "How are you supposed to perform surgery dressed like that? Besides, you don't even have a medical license. You're just an intern who got in through connections. If something goes wrong with my son, can you afford to take responsibility?"
Even the doctor who had been persuading Easton couldn't help but say, "Alice has never performed a single surgery. The risk is really too high, it might even endanger your life."
I also pretended to persuade on the side, "The doctor and Olivia are right. Besides, operating rooms are sterile. I've never seen a doctor perform surgery in high heels and heavy makeup. Easton, think it through. Don't end up not only losing the use of your legs but also your life."
However, upon hearing my words, Alice pouted and said aggrievedly, "Easton, I dressed like this only because I was in a hurry to get here quickly to perform the surgery for you. Hannah just looks down on me. Since none of you want me, then find someone else. Anyway, if I can't get a permanent position..."
Before she could finish her sentence, my cheek was slapped hard.
Easton glared at me with malice and disgust. "Stop showing that ugly face of jealousy and attention-seeking! This time, I must ensure Alice gets the position. Don't even think about scheming to stop it."
I pressed my burning cheek, the resentment in my eyes turning into deep sarcasm.
He thought I was trying to stop it, but I was merely pushing things to escalate faster and worse.
This time, I wanted to see him treated by Alice even more than he did.
Olivia angrily said from the side, "If she had the ability to get the position, would she still need your body to help her? And does she even look like a doctor?"
Easton stubbornly said, "Alice was just worried about me, so she rushed over without changing clothes. Besides, it's just a leg surgery. So what if it's not sterilized? How could I possibly lose my life? My leg must be treated by Alice. I trust her skills. Nothing any of you say will change that!"
Saying that, Easton grabbed a new surgery contract from the nurse's hand on the spot and quickly signed it.
Easton said, "Now I've signed the surgery contract. If you keep stopping me, I'd rather let this leg be ruined than let anyone else treat it."
Hearing his words, Alice put away her aggrieved expression and glanced at me smugly and arrogantly.
Then, Alice snatched the surgical cart from Olivia's hands and swayed her way as she pushed Easton into the operating room.
The other doctors had no choice but to agree to Alice as the attending physician for this surgery and followed her into the operating room.
Three hours later, with a scream, the operating room doors finally opened.
