In the Next Life, We Don’t Want to See Each Other Again

"Lyra, you're so naive, thinking everyone in the world is good-hearted. What will you do when I'm not around to look after you?

"Once you eat my candy, you're mine. Lyra, grow up quickly. When you do, I'll marry you."

When did Sebastian, who had worried about my innocence and simplicity and promised to cherish me for a lifetime, start to distance himself from me?

It was after Selena suddenly barged into our world with her frequent unexplained bruises and her evasive, ambiguous words.

It was her "coincidental" encounters with Sebastian, her tears of grievance, the feigned horror when she looked at me and my parents, and her affected loneliness and pitiful state.

In the end, Sebastian was utterly drawn to her side.

And I transformed in his mind from an innocent girl to a malicious and jealous woman.

Sebastian took out his phone, scrolled to my number, and his finger lingered on the call button for a long time.

Just as he was about to dial my number, Selena wheeled herself in.

She glared at my number on his phone, her expression ferocious, but when Sebastian looked at her, it softened into a look of understanding.

"Sebastian, let Lyra go. Although she crippled me, she's always been pampered and has never suffered. Besides, her family has raised me for fifteen years."

Selena, with moist eyes, tugged at her fake disabled legs on the wheelchair, her eyes full of grievances and forbearance.

"As for me, it doesn't matter. No one has loved me since I was a child. I thought coming to the Clark family would mean I had parents and a home again. I didn't expect Lyra and her parents to treat me like that..."

Sebastian's face turned cold all at once, and he looked at Selena with compassion.

"Selena, you don't have to be so humble. Although the Clark family raised you, they've caused you too much harm over the years! As for Lyra, she had you kidnapped, almost destroyed you, and left you crippled. I won't let her off the hook!"

"Moreover," Sebastian said, his eyes revealing loathing, "when we were kidnapped three years ago, she abandoned us and ran away by herself when I was knocked unconscious! I won't forget that it was you who stayed by my side and risked your life to save me! Without you, I might have died there."

I was stunned. Sebastian actually thought she had been saved by Selena!

Three years ago, Sebastian, Selena, and I went to a holiday resort and were kidnapped.

He was knocked unconscious during the resistance.

Seeing the chance to escape, Selena left Sebastian and fled without hesitation.

To help Sebastian, I risked my life to drag him away, never leaving his side until we were both captured again and suffered greatly.

My parents called the police immediately.

After being rescued, Sebastian and I were taken to the hospital for treatment.

At that time, to stabilize the company and for my reputation, my parents did not announce that I had been kidnapped and asked Sebastian and me not to mention it again.

I always thought he knew I had saved him, but when he woke up and saw Selena by his bedside, he believed it was her!

Selena's eyes flickered with evasion for a moment, then returned to normal.

"Sebastian, no matter how Lyra treats me, I can't bear to see her suffer. You should call her."
