Chapter 8 It turned out that he also sought help from the scientists . Elias's eyes suddenly widened . " At that time , he told me I was the second person to participate . Could it be that the first person was … " Yes . That person was me . When Elias was lying inside that machine , the overload and pressure caused him to collapse at one point . Because he gave up , too . " But I told him that I lasted a full hour . During that time , I vomited blood.§ The scientists were afraid someone might die , so they kept trying to persuade me to give up . But I still refused to press the pause button . I thought as long as I could return to him , everything would be worth it . That belief had always supported me . But this time , I want to give up . I also told him , " The scientists said that one of the data points was changed after I entered the experimental machine . " " Someone reached you before I did and took on the role of your childhood sweetheart . Do you know who that person is ? " } I stared at him closely . " Elias's eyes filled with panic and he took a few steps back . " Could it be … ? " Yes . It was the person he believed to be his true love . I had already known in my previous life that Clarissa liked him . } Every time I was with Elias , she would appear from a distance and look at me with jealous eyes . She still secretly pestered him . } And she asked , " I'm not uglier than her , so why did you choose her ? Why ? " } Elias was stunned for a long time before finally letting out a helpless smile . " Maybe … maybe it's because I and Liora knew each other first . " So , after he got into trouble , I heard that the scientists had a time machine and before I could act , she had already tampered with it . The scientist admitted it was his fault . " I didn't expect her to be so bold , risking her life to break into the laboratory ." } " But you can change it back ," he told me . " it will just cause him extreme pain . " } That kind of pain would make him feel worse than death , like the torment of cancer . I could not bear it , so I decided to give up . I thought … he and I had such a deep bond , how could something as trivial as a childhood sweetheart role stand between us ? } But what I did not expect was that no matter how deep our connection was , it still could not compete with the concept of first come , first served . What I believed to be unwavering love turned out to be no match for a string of cold , unfeeling data . } * Liora , I … " 2 Even if he could not remember , those memories from our past should have been enough to move him . In the end , the person he had hated so much … was the one he had loved most deeply in his previous life.§ How ridiculous . 1 Elias's eyes turned red as he tried to reach out and grab me with trembling hands . However , I pulled my hand back and turned my head away . " " Go away . I don't want to see you ." } ' I'm sorry … " % Cassian stepped in and chased him away for me . " I gave you a chance , but you still failed to hold on to it . Who else can you blame ? " " If you miss it , then you miss it ." \ " In this life , she no longer belongs to you . " After Elias was driven away , I felt much better . } Cassian was always very kind to me . " Whenever he had free time , he would stay with me , tell me stories and try his best to make me smile . >> Maybe the relationship between Cassian Rourke and me was not the kind of passionate , life - or - death love I once had with Elias , but the quiet , enduring bond between us gave me a kind of peace I had never felt before.M While he was sleeping , he held my hand and whispered to me that we had met in our previous life . " But I was just a very ordinary person back then . You probably don't remember . " } " At that time , I was just a fool who only cared about scientific research . " No one paid attention to me . You were the only one who ever greeted me . " " Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
