Benjamin’s brow furrowed as he reached to pick up the letter for me.
I moved quicker, snatching it up before his fingers could touch it.
“What’s this?”
“Nothing important,” I shrugged it off. “Just some background check paperwork for a scholarship application.”
Benjamin nodded, accepting my explanation without question.
I quickly booked a flight ticket after leaving..
When I died in my previous life, I regretted most not seeing the world.
So fate granted me another chance.
I wanted to travel more, see more–so if that day truly came, I’d have no
regrets.
For those two years, I blocked everyone except Olivia and my sister Emily.
I traveled through African nations and European countries.
Benjamin once promised to take me on a hot air balloon ride in Turkey, but he never did.
I went alone.
Until the date matching my previous diagnosis two years later.

With my heart racing with anxiety, I went to the hospital.
Truthfully, I’d searched countless countries during those years, only to learn this genetically linked cancer had no cure worldwide.
In my previous life, from diagnosis to my final breath,
Holding on that long was already a miracle.
After the tests, my nerves were shot,
But when the doctor saw the report,

He said: “You don’t need further tests. You’re perfectly healthy.
I froze. How was that possible?
I checked the date–exactly when bone cancer struck me last time.
How could everything be fine?
I grabbed the doctor’s arm.
“Doctor, please look again?”

He frowned impatiently. “There’s absolutely nothing wrong. If you doubt us, go somewhere else.”
I visited two more advanced hospitals.
Both gave me a clean bill of health.
I was overjoyed.
Had my life changed, or was the bone cancer delayed?

But either way, I should cherish my healthy days even more.
I thanked the doctor and just walked out of the hospital.
I was about to call Olivia when her call came through.
I clutched the phone, voice trembling with excitement: “Olivia, you know what? I’m healthy…”
But before I could finish,
Olivia’s urgent tone cut through:
“Elizabeth, Benjamin has dilated cardiomyopathy. They say it’s critical.”
I froze instantly.
In my previous life, Benjamin developed dilated cardiomyopathy two months after my bone cancer diagnosis.
How could it happen earlier?
On the flight back, I felt completely disoriented.
I once thought I’d gotten over Benjamin, but only now did I realize hearing about him still unsettles me.
I finally understood I’d never let him go–just buried him deepest in my heart.
When I rushed to the hospital.
Benjamin lay deathly pale on the bed, his eyes utterly vacant.

I truly couldn’t bring myself to enter.
Yet I reminded myself: Benjamin’s surgery succeeded in the past life, so surely he’d be fine this time too?
While I hesitated in the corner.
I unexpectedly ran into Robert.
Inside the doctor’s office.
Robert returned from consulting Benjamin’s physician, his expression grim.
“Elizabeth, Benjamin’s condition isn’t good.”
“The medical assessment shows his body can no longer withstand surgery.”
My heart plummeted, tears pattering down like rain.
