บท 8: Smell of Blood

Eliot Britt, the eldest child of the Britts, didn't come home until nearly midnight. As soon as he went in, he heard what happened from the butler. Normally, he would only say goodnight to Emily after taking a shower. But today, he walked straight into her bedroom.

Emily was pretending to be asleep.

Ever since she realized that she was reborn, she had no idea how to face Eliot. In her previous life, Elsie told her Eliot loved her before she died. His words still echoed in Emily's mind.

In her previous life, Eliot had fought with a man for her and was seriously injured, but Emily failed to see him in the hospital before he died.

She felt warm on her forehead. It was Eliot's palm. Eliot stroked Emily's forehead and sighed, "I'm sorry. I'll make sure it won't happen again."

There was a knock on the door from outside. The butler brought in a bowl and said, "Mr. Eliot, the ginger soup."

Eliot turned around and took it, gesturing for him to leave.
