Pain.

So much pain.

Veena Morton's heart felt like it was being struck, every inch of her body aching. The pain was consuming her, swallowing her whole. It was so dark around her. Where was Bryce O'Connor? Where was he? Veena Morton stood in the vast, pitch-black space, unable to see any light.

"Bryce O'Connor, Bryce O'Connor..."

"Madam, what's wrong?"

A kind, gentle voice slowly reached Veena Morton's ears. She opened her confused eyes, and when she saw the face in front of her, she exclaimed in surprise, "Aunt Jessie?"

Aunt Jessie smiled at Veena Morton. "Yes, madam, it's me."

"Aunt Jessie, what are you doing here? I thought I was..." Suddenly, Veena Morton remembered something. She quickly looked around and realized she was in a hospital.

But how could she be in a hospital? Wasn't she dead? And Bryce O'Connor, who had died for her sake...

Thinking of Bryce O'Connor plunging a knife into his own heart, Veena Morton couldn't help but cry, her heart aching and numb.

"Bryce O'Connor... you're so foolish..."

"Bryce O'Connor..."

"Madam, what's wrong?" Aunt Jessie asked, seeing Veena Morton suddenly start crying and repeatedly calling her husband's name. She was very worried. "Madam, are you feeling unwell? Should I call a doctor?"

Aunt Jessie's voice echoed again, and Veena Morton was puzzled. Wasn't this an illusion? How could she hear Aunt Jessie's voice again?

Veena Morton looked at Aunt Jessie in confusion and instinctively asked, "Aunt Jessie, why are you here? Did you die too?"

Aunt Jessie was startled. "Oh my, madam, what are you talking about? I'm alive and well."

Alive?

Aunt Jessie was alive?

Then what about her? Wasn't she dead?

If Aunt Jessie was alive, then she...

Veena Morton looked around in confusion, feeling that this scene seemed familiar. Suddenly, a shocking thought came to her mind. She grabbed Aunt Jessie's hand tightly. "Aunt Jessie, am I still alive?"

Aunt Jessie frowned, looking puzzled and worried. "Madam, of course you're still alive. What's wrong with you?"

Getting the answer she wanted, Veena Morton was shocked. She asked again, "Aunt Jessie, am I in a hospital now? What year is it?"

After hearing Veena Morton ask two strange questions in a row, Aunt Jessie couldn't help but feel doubtful. How could madam not remember what year it was? Could her brain be damaged?

"Madam, last night... last night there was a fire in your room. You passed out and now you're in the hospital receiving fluids."

Although puzzled, Aunt Jessie still answered Veena Morton's questions.

Fire?

Hospital?

In Veena Morton's life, there was only one time when a fire led to being hospitalized.

Veena Morton's eyes widened in disbelief. Although she had just thought of the possibility of reincarnation, she hadn't expected that she had really been reborn, back to the first year of her marriage with Bryce O'Connor.

She remembered why she was in the hospital now. Last night, she had brought up the topic of divorce with Bryce O'Connor again. He disagreed, and she had a big fight with him, even forcing him to divorce her. But Bryce O'Connor angrily left.

Later, Sheila Henry came up with a plan for her. She suggested that Veena Morton set her room on fire, using her own life to threaten Bryce O'Connor, and he might agree.

At that time, Veena Morton hesitated. Because setting a fire was really dangerous.

But Sheila Henry assured her and said that she had arranged everything and would definitely rescue Veena Morton at a safe moment.

Veena Morton was still worried and didn't relent. Although she had been quarreling with Bryce O'Connor all along, she never thought of using her own life to achieve any goal.

But then Sheila Henry said one sentence, "Veena, Bryce O'Connor clearly has another woman in his heart, but he still wants to marry you, dominate your life, and make you unhappy. Even if he does this, do you still want to be with him?"

Because of this sentence, Veena Morton's heart was pierced. She immediately agreed to Sheila Henry's proposal.

In the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, Veena Morton set fire to the flammable items in her room. Soon, flames erupted, thick smoke billowed out, and Veena Morton coughed uncontrollably in the room, where the air became thinner and thinner. When she realized that she couldn't stay in the room anymore, she tried to get out, but the door was locked. No matter what she did, she couldn't open it.

She panicked and called Sheila Henry, but Sheila Henry didn't answer her call. The phone on the other end indicated that the other party had turned it off.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and Veena Morton couldn't breathe. The flames licked her arms and burned her skin. At that moment, Veena Morton thought she was really going to die, until the door was kicked open fiercely. Bryce O'Connor rushed in despite the flames and saved her.

But the first thing she said when she was rescued was... what was it again?

She said, "Bryce O'Connor, I want a divorce."

At that moment, the man's eyes dimmed for a moment.

But Veena Morton felt that he was pretending.

He clearly didn't love her.

Why would he pretend to be so affectionate?

Thinking back now, she was really naive.

If Bryce O'Connor didn't love her, why would he willingly let her hurt him over and over again, and still refuse to let her go?

If Bryce O'Connor didn't love her, why would he avenge her when he found out that she had been harmed by someone else?

If Bryce O'Connor didn't love her, why would he sacrifice himself for her?

Thinking of this, Veena Morton's heart was torn apart.

She was deceived.

She couldn't see her own heart clearly, couldn't see Bryce O'Connor's love.

But she was reborn now.

Thinking about it, Veena Morton felt a surge of emotions. She had been reborn at a time when it was not too late. Now she had not lost everything. Her brothers were still there, Bryce O'Connor was still there. This time, she would not be so foolish, repeatedly deceived by Sheila Henry. She wouldn't harm her family, and she wouldn't doubt Bryce O'Connor's love for her.

She would also see her own heart clearly.

Tears streamed down her face as she urgently asked Aunt Jessie, "Aunt Jessie, where is Bryce O'Connor? I want to see him."

Aunt Jessie was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Veena Morton to want to see Bryce O'Connor. Was she going to argue and demand a divorce again?

Thinking of this, Aunt Jessie shook her head and said, "Madam, the master is not here right now."

"Where is he? I want to see him!"

"Aunt Jessie, I want to see Bryce O'Connor."

"I want to see him right now!"

Veena Morton cried heartbreakingly, and Aunt Jessie was at a loss. But she didn't know what Veena Morton really wanted. If she was going to argue and demand a divorce again, the master would be truly heartbroken.

But seeing her cry so bitterly, Aunt Jessie couldn't bear it. "Madam, do you want to call the master?"

Yes! Call Bryce O'Connor.

Veena Morton hurriedly took her phone to call Bryce O'Connor, but when she looked through her contacts, she couldn't find his number. She remembered that in a fit of anger, she had deleted all his contact information a long time ago. She looked up with tear-filled eyes. "Aunt Jessie, I don't have Bryce O'Connor's number."
