Exchange Fate: Unknown Developments are Full of Surprises Summary

During a tense dinner, I was ready to share my pregnancy joy with my distracted partner, Arnold Burton.

Chapter 1 of Exchange Fate: Unknown Developments are Full of Surprises

Dinner.

Arnold Burton was absent-minded, and his hand holding the fork was trembling.

I called him a few times before he came back to his senses.

"Uh, what's wrong?" Arnold asked.

"I have something to tell you," I said to him.

I touched my lower abdomen and a touch of sweet happiness in my heart. Just as I was about to speak, I saw that the crystal chandelier above Arnold's head was shaking!

"Arnold!"

I shouted as I threw myself at Arnold, and both of us fell to the ground due to inertia.

The next second, the crystal chandelier brushed against the edge of our bodies and shattered on the ground.

The glass shards flew towards me and scratched my arm, causing it to bleed.

That was so close! I thought to myself.

Before I could recover from my shock, I heard a strange sound coming from Arnold.

"The target has passed the test. Congratulations, Arnold Burton! You have succeeded in winning the target's heart. Avril Dunbar will wake up soon."

Hearing this, I wondered, What's that sound?

I know Avril and Arnold are childhood sweethearts.

But hasn't Avril become a vegetable and had been lying unconsciously in the hospital for five years?

Wake up?

I was confused.

Meanwhile, Arnold got up from the ground. His lips were trembling, and his face showed rapture.

An uneasy feeling rose in my heart.

"Arnold, you..."

Without waiting for me to finish my words, Arnold picked up the car key and strode towards the door.

After taking a few steps, Arnold suddenly remembered to check on my condition. But he didn't walk back to me. He just stood there and looked at my pale face.

He said, "You're scared. Go back to your room and have a good rest.

"I have something else to do."

Then, he left without looking back.

"Arnold!"

I shouted from behind. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen. I just fell hard to the ground, and it seemed that the baby also got hurt.

Blood flowed down my legs. I held my breath.

I called to Arnold, "Arnold. Arnold.

"Come back..."

But instead of hearing Arnold's response, I heard the sound of the car engine coming from outside. Arnold had left.

I struggled to get up and dialed 911. After a while, I lay on my back on the floor and gasped in pain.

The floor was very cold, and I was chilled to the bone.

The ambulance arrived soon.

As I lay on the stretcher, that strange voice sounded again. I realized that it wasn't on Arnold anymore.

"Arnold's task is completed. After dealing with you, I can take a vacation."

I asked it in my heart, Dealing with me?

"That's right. In fact, the reason why Avril can wake up is that we used your life as an exchange."

I closed my eyes and felt extreme pain in both my body and heart.

"Does Arnold know about it?" I asked.

It replied, "There is a balance between blessings and misfortunes. If he gets good fortune in an illegal way, misfortunes will come to him.

"But no one knows what misfortunes will go to him. Of course, he doesn't, too."

"Arnold only knows that as long as your love for him reaches a certain level, Avril will wake up."

"To a certain level?" I asked in confusion.

"When you are willing to give up your own life to save him in a time of crisis, that's it," it explained.

Hearing this, I thought of Arnold's absent-minded look at dinner just now.

It turned out that he had already known that the crystal chandelier would fall. That was a test that he and the system had set up for me.

He was so nervous just now because he was afraid that if I didn't pass the test, Avril wouldn't be able to wake up.

After thinking this through, I felt heartbroken.

I sneered in my heart, So that's it.

Arnold, you lied to me from the very beginning.

Suddenly, the system said to me, "It's time for you to go."

I was caught off guard. The next second, the sound of metal colliding sounded, and I felt extreme pain in every part of my body.

A moment later, my soul floated in the air.

It was amazing that no one except for me in the ambulance was injured.

Then, there was a great flurry on the street.

"It's a car accident. Vibra Specialty Hospital is close!" someone shouted.
