I was taken back to the hospital again.
[Host, are you okay…]
[I’m sorry, Host. Nora has been diagnosed with a rare blood disease. To save her, your brother and the others want to use you for… human experimentation.]
The system’s voice was filled with regret.
[I wanted to tell you sooner, but…]
“Will I die?” I asked calmly.
[No, you’re the female lead; you won’t die. The original plot only required you to donate bone marrow, not die…] After a moment of silence, the system quickly said: [But… but the plot now has a significant loophole, and I’m not sure what the outcome of the human experiment will be.]
[No matter what, Host, you must endure. If you get through this, you’ll get the happiness you want.]
Watching Ezra and my brother anxiously surrounding Nora, tears filled my eyes as I shook my head.

No, I won’t.
Before entering the operating room, I was very calm.
I quietly watched Ezra make Nora laugh, watched him take off the talisman I begged for three days and nights to get for him and put it on Nora.
Then I watched him kneel on one knee to propose to her.
I saw Nora cover her mouth in tears of joy.
My brother was a bit surprised, then let out a snort, “This time, don’t think you can pull any tricks, Just obediently test the drug for Nora.”
I looked at him calmly, “Brother, do you remember after Mom passed, you promised to always protect me?”
“If I say I might die, would you still make me test the drug for Nora?”
He paused for a moment, then sneered, “Do you think everyone is as malicious as you? It’s just drug testing, not taking your life, why act like you’re on your deathbed?”
“No matter what you say, you have to save Nora.”
I let out a bitter laugh, unable to hold back my tears.
As I was wheeled into the operating room, my brother called out to me, “After you save Nora, I’ll go visit Mom with you.”
“No need.”
I didn’t look back.
He didn’t know I wouldn’t be coming back.
He doesn’t deserve to mention Mom.
I left determinedly, not seeing the panic on my brother’s face.
Lying on the operating table, Ezra stood beside me.
“The proposal was my idea. Don’t blame Nora.”
“This is what you owe her. After you save her, I’ll marry you.”
I didn’t understand why they always said I owed Nora.
What exactly did I owe her?
But I won’t argue anymore.
Calmly, I took off the ring from my ring finger and handed it to him, “No need. I wish you a long and happy marriage.”
Ezra’s pupils shrank suddenly.
It was the engagement ring he personally put on me, which I treasured and never took off.
Perhaps he remembered the promise he made back then because his eyes softened a bit.
“Why are you jealous of Nora even now? Even if I propose to her, I’ll still marry you.””
After saying that, he turned and left.
The ring slipped from my fingertips, hitting the ground with a crisp sound.
Watching his slightly staggering back, I softly said, “Ezra, there is no future for us.”
