Alice turned to the doorway, her pupils constricting. It was her fifth brother, Lewis. He was back. She
remembered from her past life that he’d been at her third brother's lab, handling the pharmaceutical company’s
affairs.
Chloe, overjoyed at seeing the man in the wheelchair, ran to him and embraced him.“Fifth brother, you're finally
back!”
“Yes, I'm back. No one will bully you anymore.” Lewis held Chloe, his eyes full of tenderness.
Chloe murmured, “Fifth brother, you're all I have now.”
After comforting Chloe, Lewis maneuvered his wheelchair to Alice, his face stern.“What was your promise to
me?”
Alice paused, remembering his meaning. She had promised to get along with Chloe and take care of her.
Alice laughed, her eyes cold.”l was an idiot back then.”

“Alice, you owe Chloe a life, and you owea leg.” Lewis's tone was accusatory.“Unless you beccrippled
like me, you'll owefor life.”
Alice felt a sharp pain in her chest. But she quickly recovered her composure.“Are Your leg was lost in a lab fire.

“My leg could have been saved. You told the doctor to amputate, so | becdisabled. Third brother now has
the miracle drug. If my leg hadn't been amputated, it could have been cured.”
Alice found it ridiculous. When Lewis was rushed to the hospital, only she and Chloe were there; the other
brothers couldn’t make it. The doctor had asked her to decide on amputation because his leg couldn't be saved,
and it was life-threatening. She'd chosen amputation to save Lewis's life. Now, everything was blamed on her.
Alice finally understood why Lewis disliked her he blamed her for his amputation.
Alice’s tone was cold.“If I hadn’t chosen amputation, you'd be six feet under. You'd only be able to contact me
through a ghost story.’
“Alice, you're still unrepentant?” Lewis was furious that Alice refused to admit fault.
Chloe quickly said, “Fifth brother, don’t get SO angry. You'll hurt yourself.”
Lewis calmed down. He looked at Chloe.“Tell me, you were there. Did Alice make the decision to amputate?”
Chloe lowered her eyes. The doctor treated us like children and asked for a family member's decision. | didn’t
expect Alice to make the decision and sign the consent form.”
Lewis said indignantly, “Alice, did | wrong you?”
Alice's lips curled.“No one could get there on time. The doctor said he would die from blood loss if they didn’t act
immediately. Didn't Ethan know?” She had saved Lewis's life. She looked at Ethan.“The doctor called you, didn’t
he?”
Ethan looked uneasy.“He did, but | said I'd decide when | arrived. Where did you get the authority to sign the
consent form?”
“It was a life-or-death situation. | called you before making the decision, but you didn’t answer!” Alice was also
angry. She was young

Alice stared at Ethan coldly.“You didn’t say that then. You said if you couldn't yet there in fime, to listen to the
doctor.”
“Alice, you must have misheard me. | said to have the doctor try his best to save his leg, not to amputate
immediately.” Ethan was angry.“Alice, you were scared because you were young, you must have
misremembered.”
Alice took a deep breath. She knew Ethan wouldn't admit it. She'd seen the land family’s selfishness.
She looked at Lewis coldly.“l followed the doctor's advice and signed. | don’t think it’s my responsibility. If you

Alice grabbed Chloe's chin.“Are you lying too?”
“Alice, let go!”
Lewis swung his cane at Alice's leg. Alice, in pain, let go. She saw red Daniels on her leg Chloe hid behind
Lewis. “Fifth brother, | only told the truth, and Alice got angry!” “I know. Don’t worry; I'll protect you.” Lewis
yelled at Alice.“You ruined my leg, and now you want to ruin Chloe? I'll break your legs too; let you
let you experience disability!” “Stop!” Lewis's sixth brother, Lawrence, rushed in, blocking the cane. He snatched
the cane and threw it away.
Alice, enduring the pain, looked at Ethan.“Regardless, I'll call the police. Chloe took kickbacks, | won't let it go.”
She wouldn't let them change the subject.

Ethan said indifferently, “I can’t do anything. She made a stupid mistake herself.” He didn’t want to clean up
Chloe’s mess.
Lawrence sneered.”Fifth brother, Chloe is an outsider. Even if she’s arrested, it won't affect the Land family.”
“Who says she’s an outsider?” Lewis held Chloe's hand.“She’s my woman. We're getting married.”
