Return My Girlfriend To Her Ex

I supposed she must be frowning and angry now.

She had told me how painful Pierce's battle with cancer was.

It was very inspiring.

But what did it have to do with me?

Soon, Nina sent me a video on WhatsApp.

In the video, Pierce's face was full of pain, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. He gritted his teeth to endure the pain of treatment, while she patiently and gently peeled an orange for him. She even removed the threads on the orange segments meticulously.

In the five years we had been together, she had never done this for me.

In my past life, I had always been tolerant of her, always understanding how painful it was for Pierce to have cancer, but who had ever been there for me?

For a whole five years, they stood on the moral high ground and oppressed me.

They made me understand their difficulties and made me sacrifice myself unconditionally.

Even in the end, I died in a car accident on the spot while rushing to deliver medicine to Pierce.

Pierce's cancer was not caused by me, and I wasn't his blood relative. I had no responsibility or obligation to dedicate myself to his illness.

"I'm a monster? Nina, we have been together for five years. Have you ever made any sacrifices for me? I endured it when you went to accompany him on the day we moved to a new house, but I have been enduring it for so many years. I don't want to endure it anymore. Let's break up. I beg you to spare me and spare yourself."

I had been enduring it in my previous life, and I never thought of breaking up even when I was dying.

I understood why Nina reacted like this.

After all, as far as she was concerned, my request for a breakup came out of the blue.

And there were no signs.

After ending the call with Nina, I drove back home.

"Kenneth! You're back, finally! Didn't you say you were going to discuss marriage with Nina at her parents' house at noon? Why did you come back alone?"

My mother was having lunch. When she saw me, she quickly put down her fork and went into the kitchen to fix something for me.

"Mom, I miss you so much."

In my previous life, my mother also had cancer. But she kept it from me.

She didn't even go to the hospital, enduring the pain silently at home.

Then her illness broke out completely, and she kept coughing up blood. Only then did she smile and tell me the password of her bank card. She even reminded me not to tell Nina because Nina was busy with work.

She didn't want to disturb us until her death.

And the last thing she wanted was for us to see her suffering from the illness. No matter how uncomfortable she was, she always told me with a smile that she was fine.

Because she loved me wholeheartedly.

What about Pierce?

He had cancer, and every time he went to the hospital, he always brought Nina with him.

Sometimes, he even recorded himself pretending to be strong while undergoing chemotherapy and posted videos on various social platforms. He'd attach inspirational words, making the others think he was an optimistic cancer fighter.

When people saw him in such a difficult situation, they couldn't help but sympathize, pity, and admire his positive and cheerful attitude.

In my previous life, I saw many videos with similar words from Pierce on Nina's phone.

The tougher he pretended to be, the more it showed how fragile he was in real life.

In addition to chemotherapy, Pierce asked Nina for help when it came to practically everything, including buying water, daily groceries, and other stuff.

Although Nina was my girlfriend, Pierce felt perfectly justified in bossing her around.

The security guards in Pierce's community once thought that Nina was his wife.

"What's wrong with you today, Kenneth? Why are you suddenly so sentimental?"
