New Eden: Live to Play, Play to Live - Chapter 5 Choosing A Path, Part 4

After three years on the run, her ex-husband cornered her in the bathroom. Since then, he wouldn’t let her out of his sight.

Su Hongxing felt helpless due to the fact that her ex-husband was not only powerful but he was also very clingy.

He was over-protective, easily jealous, and extremely possessive. Men who got too close to her would either lose their jobs or go missing.

Her ex-husband tried being gentle, but that didn’t work. He then used whatever methods he could think of that get back together with her.

“You’ve stolen my heart and body, and now you’re even stealing my children. You have no choice but to marry me and spend the rest of your life making it up to me!”

Protect humanity from anomalies.

'Nina?'The thought hit me before I even really processed who it was. Nina Shoka from my class. She was just walking along, probably listening to music, totally unaware that this car had lost control and was sliding right toward her.I didn't think about it. Didn't weigh the pros and cons or consider my options. My legs just started moving.I dropped my phone and sprinted toward her. The car was maybe three seconds away from hitting her when I slammed into her side, pushing her as hard as I could toward the sidewalk.She went flying, landing hard on the concrete but definitely out of the car's path.Me? Not so lucky.The impact felt like getting hit by a train. One second I was pushing Nina to safety, the next I was flying through the air. Then I hit the ground and everything went wrong at once.I couldn't move my legs. Couldn't really move much of anything, actually. There was this weird warm feeling spreading across my chest and stomach, and when I tried to breathe, it felt like drowning.'Well, this sucks,' I thought, staring up at the sky. 'Guess that's what I get for being a hero.'My vision started getting all swimmy and weird, but I could make out Nina crawling over to me. She had pulled out her earbuds and there were tears streaming down her face.“Why did you do that?” she kept asking, over and over. “Why would you do that?”I wanted to shrug, but my shoulders weren't really cooperating. It seemed pretty obvious to me - she was in trouble, so I helped. That's what you do, right? Nothing fancy about it.She was talking to me, saying my name a lot. I didn't realize she even knew my name, to be honest. We had been in the same class for like three months and I don't think we had ever actually had a conversation.“Kofi, stay with me, okay?” she was saying. “You're gonna be fine. The ambulance is coming.”
