Chapter 20 Nathaniel felt a sharp pain in his heart , overwhelmed by a deep sense of helplessness and unease How was any of this different from what happened to them in their previous lives ? The only difference was that his and Genevieve's roles had been reversed . As a man himself , how could he not see that Derrick was interested in her ? Only she remained oblivious ! No !

How could such a feeling possibly be pleasant ? In her previous life , Genevieve had thought countless times about giving up the kidney transplant , just spending the rest of her days with Nathaniel . After her death , he could be with someone else and start a new life . But at that time . Nathaniel stopped her from giving up treatment again and again , giving her hope each time , only to leave her in despair . The last time , when she had already accepted the reality of death , he brought Elaine to the operating table , saying that this time he was serious and would really go through with the surgery . But in the end , he gave up just because of a small thunderclap . Her life seemed to be nothing more than a tool for him and Elaine to flirt with each other- utterly ridiculous . Now that the same thing was happening to him , why couldn't he accept it ? He hadn't even experienced the worst of the pain yet .
