The three arrived at the hospital entrance.
Rachel Liu exhaled softly when she realized it wasn't Sophia Song's hospital.So it wasn't a romantic visit. Good.
"Vice President Lin, why are we here?" she asked.
Ethan Ye also wondered, but as a bodyguard, he kept silent.
"I'm visiting a friend," Alex said with a sigh."He had… an accident. Ended up hospitalized a few days ago."
"I see." Rachel nodded.
Before heading up, Alex stopped at a flower kiosk and bought three bouquets.
"Everyone carries one. Visiting without flowers looks insincere."
Rachel glanced at him. Who brings three people to visit a patient?But she still took the bouquet.
They entered the ward.
The moment Ethan stepped in, he froze.His eyes widened.
Evan Chen? The miracle doctor protagonist? Here?
Wrapped like a mummy, pale, surrounded by medical equipment.
What happened to him? Did Alex… do this?
But Alex didn't seem like someone who needed to dirty his hands.So why was he here, personally delivering flowers?
Ethan's mind spun.
Alex approached Evan's bed and placed flowers solemnly.
"Brother Evan, my condolences."
Evan: …
Alex corrected himself instantly."Ah—wrong phrasing. I mean… are you feeling any better? Look, more flowers. Doctors say flowers lift the mood."
Evan stared at him blankly.
The entire bedside area was filled with white chrysanthemums, white carnations, white orchids—A funeral showroom.
Rachel's brows knitted."Why does he look… heartbroken?"
Alex sighed dramatically."You don't understand, Rachel. A few days ago he was almost killed—By his own senior brother."
Rachel gasped, hand over her mouth."That's horrible…"
Ethan's confusion deepened.
His senior brother tried to kill him? Impossible. They were inseparable.
And why did Alex and Evan seem so… close?
Did these two form a bond over a woman battle? Is this because I was reborn? Butterfly effect?
Just then, Evan heard familiar footsteps.He turned—and saw Rachel and Ethan beside Alex.
His heart sank.
Rachel Liu? Already here? She shouldn't appear for another two months!
Has their relationship with Alex progressed faster because I changed the timeline?
And Ethan?His eyes trembled.
Ethan Ye. King of the underground. A titan of power.
How did he become Alex Lin's bodyguard?
Has he forgotten how Alex destroyed him in the previous life? Destroyed his power, took his woman, broke him?
Evan forced a calm tone."And they are…?"
Alex smiled proudly.
"This is Rachel Liu, my new secretary. Brilliant, capable, elegant. A perfect professional partner."
Evan nodded slowly.He knew exactly how dangerous Rachel could be once she chose a side.
Alex continued, patting Ethan's shoulder.
"And this is Ethan Ye, my new bodyguard. He can take down dozens alone."
Thunder exploded inside Evan's skull.
Ethan Ye… serving Alex Lin?
In the previous life, Ethan was a war god. A legend. And now… a henchman?
Heaven, what are you doing to me?
I just reincarnated! Yet I'm bedridden, my senior brother is in jail, and even my future allies are kneeling to him!
He wanted to roar.
Is this the butterfly effect? Or am I cursed?
The universe seemed to whisper:
Rebirth doesn't help you.It helps Alex Lin.
Evan closed his eyes.Hopelessness washed over him again.
