Chapter 4 This was something I said for him , but also for myself . Robert interrupted me , displeased . What nonsense are you talking about ? I didnt answer , and silence settled between us . Robert turned away and picked up a cup to pour me some hot water . I noticed his hand trembling uncontrollably it must be the old injury acting up again because of todays rain . Memories and a wave of heartache surged through me . I asked him , Do you regret becoming like this because you saved me ? Robert lowered his head as he placed the cup in front of me , his hair falling over his eyes . He said , No regrets . Even if it were someone else , I would still have saved them . The earthquake … was it the same back then ? I saw his fingers stiffen for a moment before he replied , Yes . No matter who it was , I would have saved them . So it was true . He was just that kind hearted and soft hearted . I smiled , but tears slid down my cheeks . Thank you , Robert . Youre truly a good person . I was the one who repaid kindness with resentment , clinging to you and refusing to let go . That must have been exhausting for you . For ten years , I had tormented this kind man , and in the end , he even gave his life to save me . I must have been his calamity . Seeing me cry , Robert looked uncharacteristically flustered . What nonsense are you saying ? I- Just then , his secretary ran over in a hurry . President Evans , Miss Wright has woken up ! Ill go see her first . Roberts face lit up with joy as he turned to leave , but I softly called his name . He looked back , and I gave him a bright smile . 21:36 Chapter 4 Sorry , Robert . I wish you a life of peace and joy , and that all your wishes come true . He instantly sensed something was off . Why are you talking as if youre saying goodbye ? Im just going to check on Tiffany . I have something to tell you wait for me . With that , he turned and walked away . There were less than thirty minutes left until I returned to the past . I pulled out the IV needle from my hand and got up , walking out of the hospital . By the time Robert finished checking on Tiffany and returned with a thermos full of nourishing soup , my hospital room was empty . Frowning , he called my name a few times , but no one answered . A strange sense of unease crept up his heart . Just as he instinctively reached for his phone to call me , the secretary rushed in , panting . President Evans , something terrible has happened ! The secretary , still catching his breath , blurted out , Ten minutes ago , Miss Flowers was in a car accident . and suffered massive blood loss . But the hospitals blood supply was critically low … Miss Flowers didnt make it . The thermos slipped from his grip and crashed to the ground , spilling soup everywhere . A second later , Roberts furious roar echoed through the corridor . What did you say ?! It felt as if a hammer had struck his heart , sending a wave of pain crashing through his chest . Forcing himself to stay calm , he took two unsteady steps toward the door , but his legs suddenly gave out . His assistant caught him just in time . Where is she now ? Take me to her immediately ! The assistant rushed to lead Robert to the emergency room . Robert shoved open the doors . Wait a moment , Mr. Evans ! You cant go in yet ! Chapter 4 Several nurses hurriedly tried to stop him , but he pushed them aside and strode to the hospital bed . With trembling hands , he lifted the white sheet covering the body . Then , he froze . … This isnt April ? A blushing nurse hastily explained , This patient just happens to have the same name as Miss Flowers . She was a blood donor today . Its not uncommon for donors with the same name to show up . Robert was stunned for a moment before he silently put the sheet back in place . Sorry … I acted impulsively and caused trouble for you all . After he stepped out of the emergency room , his assistant awkwardly wiped his sweat . Sorry , President Evans . I was too anxious I didnt even confirm before I reported it to you . Its fine . Just be more careful next time . Robert let out an imperceptible sigh of relief , discreetly wiping away the cold sweat on his palms . Fortunately , it was just a false alarm . The assistant quickly added , I asked around just now . Miss Flowers just went home . Robert hummed in acknowledgment and immediately rushed back home . As soon as he stepped through the door and saw his parents anxious expressions , a sense of dread . gripped his heart . His mothers voice was trembling . April suddenly collapsed on her bed after coming home . She hasnt woken up since , no matter how much we call her . Roberts mind buzzed .

Standing by her bed , he took in her bloodless face , his heart filled with regret . He recalled the words she had said before she lost consciousness words that felt like a farewell , yet carried unspoken love .
