She Chose Him Now She Wants Me Back novel Chapter 523

Dominic nodded and asked, “What’s your name?”

“My name is Sophia Quinn,” she said.

She seemed a little shy. After the initial shock passed, she lowered her head and said softly, “I’m already dead.”

From Dominic’s perspective, Sophia was not stunning, but her fair, delicate face carried a gentle and quiet temperament. He asked, “You’re walking along the highway. Where are you planning to go?”

Sophia answered quickly, “I want to go to Eastmere!”

“To Eastmere? Are you going home?”

Sophia shook her head repeatedly. “I want to see my boyfriend. He’s in Eastmere.”

Dominic smiled. “Even death couldn’t make you forget him. Your boyfriend must be a pretty good guy.”

“Mhm.” When Sophia spoke about her boyfriend, the corners of her lips lifted into a small smile. She said, “He’s amazing. And he loves me very much.”

Dominic watched her and noticed that whenever she mentioned her boyfriend, her eyes lit up.

But the brightness faded quickly. She lowered her head and said, “But I can’t keep our promise anymore.” Dominic smiled. “You still look so young. How has it already become a life–and–death separation?”

A sad expression crossed Sophia’s face. “It’s cancer. More than two months ago, I was diagnosed with rectal cancer. But it was discovered too late. Half a month ago… I couldn’t hold on any longer.”

Dominic nodded and listened quietly.

Sophia had always been happy.

Her hometown was in Skyline City, but she had been admitted to a university in Eastmere State. There, she met her boyfriend, Elias Walker.

They dated for three years in college and then worked for two mo years. Their relationship only deepened. They had planned to get married on December 3rd, the

same day they had confirmed their relationship.

But a routine medical checkup from her company shattered all their plans for the future.

They did not work at the same company. One weekend, Sophia took the medical checkup card issued by her company and went to the hospital alone for the examination. When the results came out, her world collapsed.

After she returned home, Elias asked how the checkup went. Sophia forced a smile and said everything was fine, which reassured him.

As the days passed, Sophia’s condition became increasingly abnormal. She knew she could not tell her boyfriend. She had already consulted a doctor. Even with treatment, she would only live a little longer, and they would still face terrifying medical expenses.

She gave up.

She did not even dare let Elias know.

Instead, she quietly left Eastmere. Her attitude changed drastically. Until the day she died, she never went to see him even once.

Her story was simple. It took only a short time to tell.

Dominic said, “When you were alive, why didn’t you go see him once? Something like this can’t stay hidden forever.”

Sophia gave a bitter smile. “I smelled awful. In less than three months, I lost almost 40 pounds. I didn’t want him to see me like that.”

When cancer patients reached the late stage, they barely looked human anymore.

But Sophia now looked quite normal. Dominic guessed that when people became souls, they appeared as they had when they were healthy.

He checked the time and said, “Where in Eastmere is your boyfriend?”

Sophia gave him an address.
