Chapter 3

I leaned over the toilet, vomiting until I was completely drained, expelling every bit of cake from my stomach before collapsing onto the floor.

When I turned on my phone, entertainment news popped out.

“Caroline Gomez and Lincoln were spotted together late at night.”,

“Caroline admits to relationship.”

“Caroline and Lincoln attended the same high school.”

“They’re in a romantic relationship.”

So, Lincoln didn't come home tonight because he was with Caroline.

Lincoln was so gentle with Caroline, his tenderness almost palpable.

He had never shown me that kind of expression.

I shook my head. Lincoln used to be gentle with me too. When was that? Oh, yes, it was before he met Caroline.

Back then, everyone thought Lincoln and I would end up together. Even I believed it.

Although at first, I approached Lincoln with a purpose, I genuinely fell for him in the end.

I even planned that once my mission succeeded, I would stay in this world and spend my life with Lincoln.

But fate played a huge joke on me.

Caroline appeared.

My intuition told me that the way Lincoln looked at Caroline was not simple.

Lincoln told me not to overthink it. He said he wouldn't like Caroline.

But later, he picked up Caroline and coldly warned me, "Kinsley, if you dare to hurt her again, we can't even be friends."

Lincoln didn't see the triumphant smile in Caroline's eyes or my swollen ankle.

Because of this injury, I missed a very important audition.

For someone who desperately needed the role in this film to transition her career, it was a heavy blow.

However, I didn't expect an even bigger blow to come later.

From that day on, Lincoln looked at me with resentment.

My stomach started churning again, but this time nothing came out.

At some point, my phone screen went dark, reflecting my disheveled face.

Didn't the system say that redemption scripts caused the least harm to the player? Then why did I feel so miserable?
