Chapter 30
Joshua shook his head, “Not exactly.”
Joshua looked at her with a bitter smile, struggling internally on whether he should tell her what he knew as well.
Carol, if I told you that I was the person you hated the most in your past life, the one who cruelly cut off the only hope you had to keep living. would you still stay by my side?
A long silence surrounded them, and Caroline couldn’t help but say. “It’s okay, Joshua. Just say whatever you want to say.”
Joshua, however, did not answer, just stared at her in a daze, until Caroline called him several times before Joshua looked at her.
Joshua decided to tell her the truth after all. She had the right to know the truth, and whatever decision she made after hearing it – whether to stay by his side or to leave was Caroline’s right.
–
Determined; Joshua said, “Carol, I’m sorry. I have been keeping a lot of things from you. I was afraid that you would leave me if you found out, so I didn’t tell you. But now I have realized that you will eventually know about these things.”
“Carol. Actually… I was the old Joshua, the one who witnessed your pain, experienced your death…”
“Even I had experienced more…”
Joshua furrowed his brow and trembled as he recounted to her
everything that had happened after her death in the previous life – the heartbreak of her parents, Joshua’s breakdown, Kelly’s madness, and ultimately, Joshua’s own death.
Caroline couldn’t help but retreat, thinking Joshua was the only victim, but in fact, no one was innocent.
In the end, she didn’t blame the wrong person. In the end, all the things still involved the three of them.
“Why… why won’t they let me go even though everything has turned out like this? I’m so tired, why can’t I escape this vicious cycle of three people?”
“Carol, I’m sorry…”
“So you knew from the beginning that Kelly was the same old Kelly, you knew she was coming to harm me?”
“No, Joshua quickly explained, “I found out after she hurt you for the second time. Kelly’s mental state wasn’t great at the time, and after she ran out, she kept muttering, ‘It’s already happened so many times, why isn’t she dead yet? The first time she should have broken her leg when she hit her with the car…
It was to doubt if Kelly was the same Kelly from before. Later, when he imprisoned her in his old house, it also confirmed this.

But after enduring long periods of imprisonment and various mental tortures, as well as experiencing memories from two different lives. Kelly’s mental state deteriorated.
“She said she wanted to kill you, but then kept changing her story. She
said she bumped into you three times, then said it was actually four times. After a while, she would insist it was three times. But in my memory, you were only bumped into by her twice…”
Caroline pondered. “So you think she went crazy…”
“Yes, Joshua nodded.”
But in fact, it’s not just that. Kelly also said that she clearly fell in love with her, saying that the first time it was clearly her who accompanied Joshua to the end…
“Joshua, if we were both reincarnated, then I think… Caroline thought of a ridiculous possibility.”
“Kelly might not have been reborn for the first time.”
“Are you saying…”
Caroline looked at him, hesitated, and actually she wasn’t very sure either.
But she remembered in the previous life, Kelly drove towards her as if suddenly gone mad.
Later, when she was imprisoned by Joshua, she always seemed fearless.
Why did she never worry about the consequences? Perhaps because she already knew what the consequences were.
“Once you feel better, we will go ask Kelly directly. You and I, we will go together…”
“Okay. Joshua saw her nod and smiled in response, reaching out to

take Caroline’s hand, but she uncomfortably pulled away ”
Joshua was taken aback for a moment, then he realized that now he could also have considered her “enemy“.
Joshua looked at his empty hands, feeling a sudden pang in his heart, but he could do nothing about it. After all, it was a situation of his own making.
Caroline felt Joshua’s stiffness, but she couldn’t accept it all at once. now. She couldn’t forgive the Joshua from the past life.
Faced with Joshua’s sorrow, she felt even more pain than he did.
She loved Joshua. but also hated Joshua. Now she owes him even more, but is also owed by him.
Caroline closed her eyes in discomfort, feeling a sharp pain in her chest like needles, causing tears to fall instantly. She blinked hard a few times, looking at Joshua in distress.
The discomfort on his face mirrored hers, and the debts between them had long been incalculable.
Looking at Joshua’s sad face, Caroline suddenly smiled and reached. out to grab his hand, which was still covered in grease.
“Are we good now? The past is in the past. From now on, you’re not allowed to let go of my hand again, deal?”
Looking at the outstretched pinky finger in front of him, Joshua seemed to see the little girl that his teacher used to like to pinky swear with back in the day
He couldn’t help but laugh too, reaching out to hook his pinky with
hers and sealing the deal. “Okay, it’s a promise. I will never let go of
Carol’s hand again.”
