I was hung up on by Ian directly after my first dial.

Kevin frowned when the indifferent sound of the phone rang.

"Didn't Ian pick up the phone? Keep calling him! If he doesn't sign the surgery paper, the surgery can't be done. It's a hospital rule, and even I can't help it."

I pretended to nod in panic and called Ian once again.

Ian didn't hang up this time, and he just answered the phone with an annoying tone.

"What's the matter with you again? Didn't I tell you not to call me? There are so many people at the hospital, but what are you calling me over there for?"

Ian was as indifferent as he was in my previous life, causing my eyes to instantly turn aloof.

I remembered the vicious look on his face when he killed me in my previous life.

I explained, "Are you with Bella? Come over here. Your mom is in bad condition."

Ian took a deep breath on the other side of the phone, raised his voice, and yelled furiously, "You've told me every day that she was in bad condition, but I've been there so many times, and I haven't seen her get any better. As long as I leave the hospital and stay with Bella, my mom is not okay, is she? What the hell are you pretending? I'll die if she leaves me, right?"

"If she were in bad condition, you should have called a doctor, but why did you call me? Would I treat her or prolong her life? I told you I had something to do today, so leave me alone!"

Saying that, Bella's voice rang on the other side of the phone.

"Did something happen to Carol again? Go for it. You don't have to worry about me, and I shouldn't hold you back any longer. We should just stay out of touch from now on..."

Without waiting for me to say anything else, Ian hung up the phone directly.

I clenched my fists so forcefully that my knuckles turned pale and trembled.

Sure enough, when I was reborn, Bella was still the most important person to him.

The furious voice came through the speakerphone into the ears of the doctors and nurses in the room.

Everyone looked at me with sympathy.

They all knew that I had quit my job in the government specifically to take care of Carol.

I spent a whole year in the hospital just because Ian said he was worried about the nursing staff we hired.

It turned out that when I was taking care of Carol in the hospital, Ian was out pursuing his first love.

Ian appeared on a few occasions because Carol was in a critical condition, and I had no choice but to call him.
