After I Desperately Sought Death, Everyone Loved Me

I was kidnapped along with Jack's first love, Ella.

He brought $500,000 in ransom money and rescued Ella without hesitation.

Even my son, whom I had carried for ten months, chimed in:

"I want to take Sister Ella with us! Dad, she'll be scared if we leave her here!"

The Game System declared my mission a failure:

"Once your physical body dies, you'll be sent back to your original world."

So I became desperate to die, wanting nothing more than to go home quickly.

But when my husband and son realized I truly didn't want to live anymore, they hugged me and said:

"I'm sorry, please don't leave us, okay?"

After trying to win Jack's heart for twelve years, he still chose Ella over me without hesitation.

Jack quickly untied the ropes binding Ella, his eyes full of concern.

Beside them, Tommy, imitating his father, was gently rubbing Ella's reddened wrists and blowing on them occasionally.

"Sister Ella, I'll blow on it and make it all better."

The three of them were so lovingly harmonious, completely forgetting about me still in the kidnapper's hands.

Even the kidnapper couldn't help but mock the scene.

"Your husband is lost in his romantic paradise. I guess he won't come to rescue you. Should I just kill you now?"

Watching the two of them escort Ella away, the Game System officially declared my mission a failure.

The ensuing punishment shocked me unconscious.

In my daze, I heard the kidnapper frantically trying to support my collapsing body.

"I was just talking tough! Did I really scare her that badly? Oh no, I better get her to a hospital quick. If something happens to her, I'm in big trouble."

Waking up in the hospital, I confirmed with the Game System in my head: As long as this body dies completely, I can go home, right?

After getting an affirmative answer from the system, I moved towards the window.

This hospital room was on a high floor, at least 50 feet up. Jumping from here would certainly be fatal.

I opened the window and leaped out.

An enormous sense of weightlessness hit me, and I instinctively reached out my hand. The howling wind stung my ears.

But I wasn't afraid. In fact, I was looking forward to death.

Just a little more, and I would be home - back to a world where someone truly loved me.

I closed my eyes, calmly waiting.

The next second, the falling sensation disappeared.

Someone grabbed my arm forcefully. The momentum of the fall caused my muscles to tear and stretch, sending waves of intense pain from my arm throughout my entire chest.

I opened my eyes, feeling like my arm might be broken.

The person who caught me was Leo, Jack's half-brother.

I looked up at the sweating young man and calmly said,

"Let go."

Leo gritted his teeth and gripped tighter, using all his strength to pull me up.

He shouted, "Just because my brother didn't choose you? You're jumping off a building for that? Is your head filled with shit?"

I reached out, slowly prying his fingers off.

"Leo, if I die, it'll make you happy,...
