After Letting Go of Helping Others, I Focused on Myself

After sacrificing his own leg to rescue a neighbor from a burning vehicle, the protagonist of this modern fantasy was met with betrayal. To avoid paying compensation, the ungrateful survivor vilified him as a reckless meddler. Ruined by rumors and deep depression, he died alone in a hospital bed. But fate grants him a second chance. Waking up to the sight of thick smoke rising from that very same car, he decides to abandon his self-sacrificing ways and prioritize his own life.

“Bella has suffered greatly; her injuries are very severe, but I will never give up on her. Even if I have to sell everything we have, I'll make sure Bella gets treatment. Thank you to our family for their support and help; it's allowing us to get through this difficult time."

This shows how unpredictable human nature can be. However, I believe there are still kind people in the world like the netizens listening to my story now. It’s your love that has helped Bella hold on until now.”
