And later, thanks to this fateful encounter, he successfully started a business using the underworld leader's influence and eventually became a household name in the business world.
However, his childhood sweetheart, Daisy, was angry and refused to sit down, then stood the entire journey.
This prolonged standing caused her to miscarry. After a day and night of emergency treatment at the hospital, she died from massive hemorrhaging.
Calmly, Larry arranged her funeral and married me.
But on the very day I went into labor, he bought standing tickets and forced me to take a three-day, three-night high-speed train ride.
In the end, with his eyes on my blood-covered body, he stomped on my swollen belly and screamed, "Alice! If you hadn't stopped me back then, Daisy wouldn't have died! You're a jealous, malicious monster! Today, I'll make you and your child pay for Daisy and her unborn baby! Die!”
With one brutal stomp, he killed me and my unborn child on that speeding train.
The horrifying memory made my face turn paler.
“My friend is pregnant. So, why don't you give up your seat for her? You look perfectly healthy and it'll be okay to stand for a while. Respecting elders and caring for the young is a traditional virtue. Don’t be so selfish.”
Larry's words brought me back to my senses.
Daisy, who’d been silent beside us, glanced at me, then gently tugged Larry's sleeve. "Larry, I think Alice is a bit upset. Don’t fight because of me. If it's really too much, I'll just stand the whole way."
She began to put on the same stubborn expression she had used in my previous life and started to rise as she spoke.
Clearly, Larry had a seat. If she truly felt uncomfortable ….
Nancy could have sat in Larry's seat. But she insisted on standing out of spite and using my anger as an excuse, she demanded that Larry vent her anger on me.
This time around, I won't be so foolish.
As I remembered how affectionate the underworld leader was toward his wife after we got off the train in my past life, I couldn’t help but smile.
Then I looked at Larry, who was glaring at me and said calmly, "I'm not angry. Go ahead. You two can do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with me.”
Then I sat down in my seat and put on the earphones.
