In my previous life, I had carried the badly injured Brandon home on my back, spent all the tuition I had painstakingly saved and invited the best doctor in the village to set his bones. I even stayed by his bedside day and night, never leaving his side.

He once held my hand and promised, “Chloe, you saved my life. Without you, there would be no Brandon. In this life, I, Brandon Kensley, vow that I'll marry no one but you and I will never betray you!”

Later, after he recovered, he applied to the police academy and became a proud police officer, eventually rising smoothly to become a bureau chief.

He also fulfilled his promise to marry me after graduating from college. We were husband and wife for forty years. I bore him three sons.

Now we even have grandchildren, yet I never knew that the one he truly wanted to marry was never me. He even hated me so much that he wanted to take me with him to die.

This time, I wanted to see who this unforgettable first love was, the person he had been longing for forty years!

I walked to a spot where Brandon couldn't see me and hid behind a large tree. From this angle, I could see him clearly.

After waiting for ages, someone finally passed by.

The person had long hair that coiled atop her head, a pair of bright, watery eyes and a small face that was so tender it looked like water could be squeezed out of it.

It was Taylor Johanson, my next-door neighbor.

As soon as Brandon saw her, his whole body started to squirm, so I knew it was her.

In my previous life, after I brought him home, Taylor had come by once. So I never expected that just that one visit would make him pine for her for forty years.

When Taylor passed him by, she only glanced at him before continuing her walk.

Brandon panicked. "Miss, please save me. I'll repay you generously."

At the promise of a reward, Taylor finally halted her steps. “If I save you, how much will you give me?”

“My family is very wealthy. If you're willing to save me, I can give you four hundred and fifty dollars!”

In the 1980s, four hundred and fifty dollars was an enormous temptation for our poor little mountain village.

Taylor's eyes lit up. “Alright. It’s a deal!”

Since she was powerful, she could carry Brandon on her back easily. In my previous life, I had nearly broken my waist when I carried him home.
