15 - Meet

Sara and Rowan, who were followed by Alistair as the bodyguard, reached the hospital.

Sara felt slightly relieved when she found out that it was not the Crown's Hospital.

However, curiosity rose in her heart again, "Mr. Mills, what are we doing here?"

Alistair, the second protagonist, was also puzzled.

However, he upheld the manners of a bodyguard and said nothing.

"I came to visit a friend!" Rowan sighed, "A few days ago, he had an accident and was admitted to the hospital."

"Oh." Sara was speechless.

As they reached the hospital entrance, Rowan halted abruptly, suggesting, "Hold on, let's not go empty-handed. How about we buy some flowers before we go in?"

Then, Rowan bought three bouquets of flowers and entered the ward.

At that moment, Alistair, with keen eyes, spotted a familiar face in the ward, sending a storm of emotions through his heart.

'The genius doctor Linden...why is he here? How did he get hurt like this? Could it be that Rowan fought with him?'

'No, it doesn't look like that at all! If it was him, why would he come to see him?'

Alistair's mind was full of doubts.

At this time, Rowan walked up to Linden, offered the flowers in his hand with a heavy face, held Linden's hand and said, "Buddy, Linden, condolences and I hope your soul..."

Linden: "..."

"Oh shit, I'm sorry, I made a mistake again. I wanted to ask how you were but you looked so lifeless. Are you feeling better now? Look, I've brought flowers for you again. The doctor told me that if you look at flowers every day, you will feel better." Rowan said with concern.

Linden was expressionless all this time.

There were flowers all around him, chrysanthemums, orchids, carnations, all white.

'Surrounded by this sea of white flowers, I feel a sense of melancholy and unwellness despite not being ill.'

"What's wrong with him? He seems very unhappy..." Sara asked.

Rowan sighed, "Shortie, you don't know but, just a few days ago, he was almost killed by the senior he respected the most. Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise, the consequences would've been disastrous. He is very sad now."

Sara covered her mouth with her hands, "How pitiful!"

Alistair, meanwhile, was even more puzzled.

'How could his senior kill him? The relationship between the two was very good last time.' 

What puzzled Alistair even further was the question, of how did the relationship between Rowan and Linden improve so significantly.

One was injured, and the other came to see him every day, with meticulous care.

'Could it be that this is the butterfly effect brought about by my rebirth?'

At this time, hearing a familiar voice, Linden painstakingly turned his head.

Then, he saw two more familiar people.

One of them was Sara, Rowan's future right-hand man...woman.

'What the hell! Why is Sara here? And she's on Rowan's side?'

'Wouldn't there have been a shift in feelings between Rowan and Laura after two months? Consequently, Sara, concerned about her best friend, would have then come to Rowan's side as his secretary.'

'The timing is a little off!'

'Could it be that their progress has been very fast?'

Linden thought about it and felt that the voices in his head calling him a cu*k were getting louder.

The other one on Rowan's side was even more amazing.

Alistair!

'Why did he come to Rowan?'

Linden felt that something was wrong so he pretended not to know and asked, "Who are they?"

Rowan then proudly said, "Buddy, let me introduce them to you! The one standing on the left is Sara. She is currently my secretary and is in charge of office work. She is not only very beautiful, she's also good at her job. She will be my close partner in the future."

"I hope so." Linden nodded solemnly.

This woman was indeed not only beautiful but also very good.

'It was precisely because of this woman's assistance that Rowan was able to build up a massive business empire in a short period.'

The first person Linden hated the most was Rowan, the second was Sara!

"The other person is also very good at his job."

Rowan pushed Alistair out and said proudly, "This is my new bodyguard. His name is Alistair, and he is a very capable one! I heard that it is not a problem for him to beat dozens of people."

Linden was now completely shocked.

'This man is called the King of the underground world yet he actually became Rowan's bitch! Alistair, have you forgotten how you were humiliated by him in your last life? Did you forget how your woman was taken by him? Did you become his bitch because you were scared?'

'Oh, almost forgot, I am the only one who was born again'

Linden felt heavy.

With Alistair's help, Rowan was even more difficult to deal with.

'God, why are you doing this to me? I have only regressed for a few days. I am in a hospital ward by myself, my senior brother is in prison, and even the allies who could have been won over have become the opponent's puppets.'

'Could it be that this is the butterfly effect brought about by my rebirth? But, why is it all tragic then? Shouldn't they be good for me since I am the main character?'
