They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System-Chapter 43 - Partially Averting The Transfer

Reuben, this is ridiculous!” she cried, catching up to him.

“You’re ending everything because of a million?

I thought we were building a life together!” Her voice cracked with emotion, her heartbreak evident.

Reuben stopped abruptly, turning to face her.

His expression was cold, his tone void of compassion.

“Yes, I’m done.

You’re too selfish to see it, but this isn’t just about the money.

I’m done wasting my time with someone who doesn’t support me.”

Courage’s chest tightened.

“Reuben, this isn’t about not supporting you,” she pleaded.

“It’s about being realistic.

I can’t just give you such a huge amount without knowing where it’s going!”

Seeing that his words had achieved their goal of making her desperate, Reuben stopped walking as he approached his car.

He turned to face Courage, his expression softening, but the calculation in his eyes was still evident.

“Fine,” he said, his tone feigning warmth.

“I love you, and I can’t just end our relationship over a million.

Forget about the full amount, I’ll find other investors.

But as my fiancée, you should at least contribute half a million.

That way, I can start this business as soon as possible, and we’ll have enough for the wedding and other expenses.”

Courage nodded, tears still glistening in her eyes.

She no longer dared to question him, fearing it might upset him further.

“I’ll transfer the money to you once I go to the bank after work,” she said quietly, her voice trembling.

Reuben smirked ever so slightly, satisfied.

Without another word, he got into his car, slamming the door behind him.

The sound echoed in the quiet parking lot as he drove away, not sparing her a second glance.

Courage stood there, staring after the car, her heart heavy.

A part of her still clung to the hope that she was doing the right thing by supporting her fiancé.

From the side of a car in the parking lot, where Nnenna had been silently listening to the couple, she clenched her fists, her face hardening with resolve.

“System,” she whispered, her tone fierce, determination sparking in her eyes.

“This man isn’t just terrible, he’s dangerous.

I need a plan to save Nurse Courage from her own love for him before it’s too late.”

She facepalmed, shaking her head in frustration as Nurse Courage continued to cry helplessly in the parking lot.

Anger bubbled up inside her, not at Reuben this time, but at Courage for falling so easily into his trap.

“Why is she making it so hard for herself?!” Nnenna grumbled under her breath.

Still, she reminded herself that change wouldn’t come overnight.

At least she had managed to reduce the one million to 500,000, a small victory, but a step in the right direction.

Determined to celebrate her small win before tackling the next hurdle, she let out a deep sigh.

As she tried to figure out her next move, a familiar sound chimed in her mind.

Ding!

“Congratulations!

You have partially averted one of the key events leading to Nurse Courage’s death, the transfer of one million.

You are awarded 5 good points!”

Nnenna smiled faintly, her spirits lifting.

It wasn’t much, but it was a sign she was on the right track.

“Good,” she thought.

“Step by step, I’ll make sure Reuben is out of her life for good.”

She glanced back at Courage, who was still sobbing by herself.

Nnenna clenched her fists and whispered to herself, “Hang in there, Courage.

I’ll save you, even if you won’t save yourself.”

As Nnenna reaffirmed her resolve, the familiar voice of the love system chimed again, filling her mind.

“You sowed seeds of doubt concerning Nurse Courage’s relationship with Reuben.

You gain 10 good points for this!”

Nnenna smirked, feeling a wave of satisfaction.

The system spoke again

“You defended Nurse Courage and helped her see the flaws in Reuben’s business plan.

This has earned you another 10 percent of her affection.

You gain 10 good points for this!”

She felt a rush of accomplishment.

Her efforts were paying off.

However, the next notification hit differently

“You embarrassed Nurse Courage in front of the hospital staff, raising gossip and whispers about her personal life.

You lose 10 good points for this.

Learn to exercise discretion, choose your words wisely, and handle certain situations with subtlety.

Be more cautious moving forward.”

The solemn tone of the system dampened Nnenna’s spirits.

She sighed deeply, realizing that while her intentions were good, her execution had flaws.

Nnenna’s heart sank as she noticed the whispers spreading around the parking lot, hospital staff exchanging glances and murmurs about Nurse Courage’s fiancé and his sudden outburst.

The guilt gnawed at her, knowing she had unintentionally fueled the gossip.

She vowed silently to fix this.

somehow, she would make it right.

Looking towards Nurse Courage, who was crouched on the other side of the car with tears streaming down her face, Nnenna steeled herself and walked over.

“Mommy Courage,” she called softly, her tone filled with concern, “are you okay?”

Nurse Courage jolted slightly at the sound of her voice and quickly wiped her tears.

“Nnenna!

What are you doing here?

You should be inside resting!

What about your leg?

Don’t put unnecessary stress on it, or you’ll hurt it more.”

Nnenna shook her head with a small smile.

“I’m fine, Mommy Courage.

But… why are you crying?”

“It’s nothing, dear.

Really, nothing to worry about,” Nurse Courage replied hastily, forcing a weak laugh as she dabbed at her eyes.

“But where did you learn all that about business and financial plans?” She chuckled, hoping to divert the conversation.
