After Rebirth, I will Not Save the Girl Who Fell Into the Water

"Do you have any money left?"

After Mom and Eric left, Lucy looked anxious.

The salary card was always with her, so I didn't have money left.

I saved the bonus for a big meal.

"Could you borrow some money from Mom? One hundred thousand dollars will be enough."

"My friend's sister fell into the water and is unconscious. I hear she has a lung infection and needs a thoracotomy. She needs money urgently."

"She's just a little girl in her twenties. How pitiful."

I knew she was talking about Yuki.

Yuki was pitiful now.

What about me? Wasn't I pitiful when I was paralyzed in bed?

"Gavin, my friend is your friend. It's heartless not to help her."

Heartless?

When I was paralyzed, she left so fast. Wasn't she ruthless?

I saved someone, but what did I get in the end?

"Go find someone who isn't ruthless."

"I'm hungry. Can you let me have a meal?"

Lucy hadn't seen me with a cold face.

She stood there stupidly, not daring to catch up.

But after bringing Eric back to her parents' home in the evening, she sent me a message.

"Since you don't care about me anymore, let's get a divorce."

I sneered.

Whenever things didn't go her way, she threatened to divorce me.

Lucy thought that this time I would give in as usual and help her borrow money as she wished.

But people, especially someone who had gone through tests of life and death, would change.

"Okay"

The phone kept ringing, and I hung up all the calls.

If a couple can't live together, just divorce. There was no need to waste time.

I just wanted to take Mom for a physical examination as soon as possible, so that she can live a healthy life.

The next day, I took half a day off to take Mom to the hospital.

She had a mild inflammation of the lungs, and it would be fine if she stopped smoking and took antibiotics for a few days.

I finally was relieved.

After I returned to the natatorium in the afternoon, several colleagues were whispering.

"He actually said he wasn't sure to save that girl for her wight. Max is about the same size as him."

"He is usually very enthusiastic. I didn't expect him to be a coward at the critical moment."

"By the way, Max, doesn't the girl intend to marry you?"

Surrounded by the colleagues, Max grinned.

"She's just a fat girl. I don't like her."

Everyone laughed.

Seeing me come in, a colleague said something. Then, several colleagues glanced at each other and left.

Max signed many contracts because of his bravery.

His performance improved suddenly.

The boss praised him emphatically in the meeting.

Everyone had his own destiny. Although we didn't get along well with each other, and we were competitors, I still had no regrets or jealousy. He deserved it.

Three days later.

I finished my class and prepared to go to lunch.

The guard said someone was looking for me.

I Looked outside.

A man was looking around angrily.

Max was changing his clothes and looked at that man.

"Oh, he's Jack Green, the brother of the girl I rescued that day."

"He was very grateful to me then."

"Why is he looking for you? Is he here to blame you for not saving her sister in time?"

I was a little surprised.

Was the well-dressed man outside the door the classmate Lucy mentioned?

I always thought it was female.

Was their relationship so good that she could help him borrow money?

With full of questions, I still walked out.

Max went out of his way to talk to the boss and walked behind me.

It seemed that Max was afraid that the boss wouldn't hear if I was accused and beaten.

The boss was a nice guy, but he didn't like employees causing trouble.

He was kin, and he didn't want some bad rumors to affect the reputation of the natatorium.

Although he didn't say anything about me not saving that girl, I knew he didn't have a good impression of me.

After all, he had promised to promote me to team leader, but a few days ago Max was promoted instead.

They were right behind me now.

I gritted my teeth and walked towards Jack.

Jack's face darkened when he saw me coming,

"Are you Mr. Smith? You can swim. Why don't you save my sister?"

Max and the boss stopped and looked at us.

Because of them, I put on an apologetic face

"I'm sorry. I wasn't sure at that time."

Jack waved his hand,

"Well, don't explain. I don't want to hear it. It isn't my intention."

"I just want to ask if it's your colleague who saved my sister. What was his name? I forgot to ask because I left quickly that day."

Max quickly walked over with his head held high and his chest puffed out heard when hearing that Jack was looking for him.

"Are you looking for me? What's the matter? Didn't you thank me that day?"

Max glanced at the boss and joked.

"Are you going to give me a banner?"

"You wretch!"

Jack punched Max in the face.

It was so sudden that my boss and I were stunned.

Max was no coward. He was furious after being hit hard.

If the boss and I hadn't pulled the two of them apart, they would have fought harder.

"Damn it. You do such a dirty thing in the name of saving Yuki?"
