Even though he was attending university, he was doing an internship at the same time, so that his chances of getting hired increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already evening by the time he got off. He got in the car his father had bought for him and started driving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a figure jumped in front of his car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas’s eyes widened. He slammed his foot on the brake with all his strength. The tires screeched loudly, and the car came to a sharp stop just a few feet away from the person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart pounded in his chest. \"What the heck...?\" he muttered under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas quickly opened his car door and rushed out. A girl stood there, right in the middle of the road, staring at him as if she had been waiting for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked... oddly cheerful. Her hair was messy, her clothes simple, but there was something strange in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Are you okay?\" Lucas asked, stepping closer. But at the back of his mind, he was already wondering: Is this a scam? Did I turn on my car camera today?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could check, the girl blinked at him with a blank face. Then, she tilted her head and said, \"Why didn’t you hit me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas froze. His brain took a second to catch up. \"...What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was standing right here,\" the girl said, pointing at the road like it was some obvious thing. \"You should’ve hit me. Full speed. No brakes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas stared at her, speechless. Was this girl serious?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you... Are you crazy or something?\" he finally asked, still trying to process what she just said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl crossed her arms and sighed like she was tired of explaining this to people. \"No. I’m just... done with everything. I don’t want to live anymore. If you had hit me, it would’ve saved me the trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas blinked at her, completely stunned. Who even said stuff like that? Her tone was casual like she was talking about the weather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl smiled, but it didn’t reach her eyes. \"If you help me die, I’ll even bless you in my soul form or something.\" She laughed, but it sounded hollow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas rubbed his face with both hands. This was insane. He stayed quiet for a long time, unsure what to do. His stomach growled again. Out of nowhere, he said, \"I’m hungry. I was about to go get some donuts. Wanna come?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl blinked, clearly caught off guard. \"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m serious,\" Lucas said, turning back toward his car. \"You can come with me. Eat something sweet. Then... I don’t know... decide again about dying later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl stared at him like he had completely lost it. \"You’re joking, right? I literally just told you I want to die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas shrugged. \"And I literally just told you I’m hungry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl opened her mouth to say something, then stopped. She blinked a few more times like she was checking if he was for real. \"You... you’re weird.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you’re standing in the middle of the road asking strangers to run you over,\" Lucas said flatly. \"So I guess we’re both weird.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl let out a breath that was half a laugh and half a sigh. \"Fine... Whatever. I’ll come. I guess one last donut won’t hurt before I die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas smiled a little and pointed at the car. \"Get in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without much thought, the girl opened the passenger side door and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas got behind the wheel and started the car again. After a moment of silence, he glanced at her and said, \"By the way... aren’t you scared I’m some kidnapper or something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl stared at the dashboard, then shrugged. \"At this point, does it matter? Kidnapper, murderer, whatever... It’s all the same to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas’s smile faded a little at that. \"That’s... depressing,\" he muttered, focusing back on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl leaned her head against the window, staring at the fading sunset. \"Yeah... that’s kind of the point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas gripped the steering wheel tighter. After a few minutes of driving, he said quietly, \"You know... even if life feels pointless right now... sometimes it gets better when you least expect it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl gave a tired smile. \"Maybe. But it’s exhausting to keep pretending like life has meaning. I mean... you have to keep filling it with something... all the time... and I’m just... tired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas nodded slowly. \"That’s true... But sometimes... You don’t have to fill it all by yourself. Sometimes... other people do it for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl was quiet for a long moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she let out a short, surprised laugh. \"No. I have given the chance to others for filling meaning in my life and got betrayed every single time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas looked at her seriously. \"Wait... so... were you in like... a polygamous relationship or something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a second, the girl froze. Then, out of nowhere, she started laughing. Not the fake, tired laugh she did earlier... but a loud, kind of crazy, almost real laugh. Tears appeared at the corner of her eyes as she clutched her stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas blinked, a bit surprised. \"What? Why are you laughing? I’m serious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl wiped her tears with the back of her hand and shook her head. \"No... no... nothing like that. I wasn’t in a polygamous relationship.\" She let out a small giggle again before her face turned sad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I had one boyfriend,\" she said in a soft voice. \"Just one. And a family that loved me... at least I thought they did.\" She stared down at her lap, her fingers playing with the hem of her shirt. \"But... everything changed after the accident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas kept his eyes on the road but listened carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was supposed to be a normal day,\" she whispered. \"I was driving... my sister was with me. There was this truck that came out of nowhere... and...\" She swallowed hard. \"She... she died.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas stayed quiet, not wanting to interrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After that... it was like... like everyone pressed a switch,\" she continued, her voice trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>",1021,"2026-06-06T04:03:40.623Z",1,"novelbin.me","8f78c19392ce61c0be364162773f7b80d7e1268d1692bc029b38f90fe98dfad0","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-260","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-258",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
