Chapter Eighteen
As I stood stunned, I saw Benjamin with bloodshot eyes.
He pulled out a glass bottle filled with folded stars from behind him.
“Elizabeth, I know you’ve been reborn.”
I looked
up in shock, meeting his regretful stare.
His trembling hand placed the glass bottle in my palm.

“Elizabeth, from the moment you broke up with me early, I guessed–I guessed you’d been reborn too.”
“In your past life, you did this same thing–hid everything, let me misunderstand, let me hate you. Did you lose your voice? Elizabeth, I was your boyfriend, the one who’d stand by you no matter what happened.”

The weight of the jar filled with stars suddenly felt heavy in my hands, a lump catching in my throat.
“I…”
Before I could speak, Benjamin cut me off.

“Elizabeth, don’t push me away again like last time. Heaven gave us a second chance–we should cherish it, shouldn’t we?”
He rushed over, pressing my face against his chest.

“Give us this opportunity. Give me this opportunity.”
“I won’t let you die. Remember when you said folding a thousand stars would make heaven grant our wish?”
“I’ve folded them all, Elizabeth. I want you healthy.”

Just then, Dr. Robert abruptly appeared at the end of the corridor.
Looking back, I was also indebted to Robert in that past life.
Robert was a prominent figure at school, just like Benjamin, simply because he was handsome and also excellent in his field.
He fulfilled many girls‘ fantasies about a handsome doctor.
I recall that we first met at a restaurant outside the school.
He was a medical Ph.D. student, and I was a freshman who was a complete greenhorn.
At that time, a girl was confessing to him

He abruptly pointed casually: “I’m actually in a relationship. That one is my girlfriend.”
From then on, I was constantly harassed.
No matter how I explained, those crazy girls who liked him, and even some boys, started to harass me.
Boys would bring me milk tea: “Don’t worry, I’m not trying to steal your boyfriend. I just want to know what kind of boys Robert likes.”
Girls privately added me on WhatsApp and sent me messages.

“Could you deliver this letter to Robert for me?”
They were certain–absolutely certain–that Robert wouldn’t take me seriously, viewing me only as his human shield.
Yet this very assumption convinced them Robert and I were close.
From then on, Robert and I became archenemies.
But I never imagined this man I once considered my nemesis
would dedicate himself to bone cancer research immediately after learning of my diagnosis. He promised to conquer this disease, swore his presence guaranteed my survival.
Truthfully, I owe him everything.
Without him, I wouldn’t have survived years beyond the single year my doctors initially gave me.
Later, he brought it up repeatedly in that lighthearted tone of his.
“Elizabeth, if you still have any regrets,” he said tentatively, “like wanting to take wedding photos, I could go with you and be your model.”
Back then, I knew exactly what he meant, but I still declined.
So when my life was about to end, I felt the only person I’d wronged was Robert.
If I’d never met him, maybe he wouldn’t have fixated on me alone. Perhaps he’d have a wife he loved, or even children by now.

But at this moment, I grabbed him like a lifeline.
“Benjamin, I don’t understand what you mean. I broke up with you simply because I fell for someone else.”
