ADRIAN'S POV

The headache started on my way home.

At first, it was a dull ache behind my eyes. I blamed the long hours at the hospital and the pressure of reviewing the unusual respiratory cases. By the time I reached my apartment, however, the pain had sharpened enough to make me stop in the hallway.

I shut the door and loosened my collar.

"Brilliant. Just what I need."

I hadn't slept properly in days, and the hospital's growing workload wasn't helping. Still, something about this headache fel

    ADRIAN'S POVThe headache started on my way home.At first, it was a dull ache behind my eyes. I blamed the long hours at the hospital and the pressure of reviewing the unusual respiratory cases. By the time I reached my apartment, however, the pain had sharpened enough to make me stop in the hallway.I shut the door and loosened my collar."Brilliant. Just what I need."I hadn't slept properly in days, and the hospital's growing workload wasn't helping. Still, something about this headache felt different.It wasn't simply pain.It came with flashes of images I couldn't explain.A woman's voice calling my name from a hospital bed. I pressed my fingers against my temples, trying to make sense of it.The images disappeared as quickly as they came.I stood still for a moment before dismissing them as the product of exhaustion. Then I headed for the bathroom, hoping a cold shower would help.The moment I looked into the mirror, another wave of pain struck.I gripped the edge of the sink.

  • Betrayed And Reborn With A System Before The Apocalypse    The Warning

    EVELYN'S POV Dr. Bennett was standing beside his desk when I entered.He gestured toward the chair opposite him."Please sit, Dr. Evelyn."I sat.He turned his computer screen toward me.The video was paused on a frame showing Vanessa pointing accusingly in my direction."I assume you've seen this.""Yes, sir.""She claims you stole her research. You've also made public statements about a potential preventive treatment for an emerging respiratory illness. Now people are questioning whether your work is legitimate."I kept my expression neutral."My research is documented, and I've made it clear that our findings are preliminary. I haven't claimed to possess a proven treatment.""That isn't the issue I'm asking about."I waited.Dr. Bennett folded his arms."Has Dr. Cole ever had access to your research?"The question caught me off guard, although I quickly recovered."She had access to some preliminary discussions about my work in the past. However, the research records establish the

  • Betrayed And Reborn With A System Before The Apocalypse    First Case Of The virus

    EVELYN'S POVThe emergency department was unusually crowded when Adrian and I arrived.Nurses moved between beds, doctors reviewed patient charts, and the sound of monitors filled the air. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary afternoon in a busy hospital.Then I noticed the patients gathered behind a temporary partition.Four people. Different ages, different backgrounds, but all presenting with similar respiratory symptoms.My heart began to race."Where are their records?" I asked a nurse hurrying past us."On the station, Doctor. Dr. Hayes has already been informed."Adrian stepped forward. "I'm here. Tell me what's happened."The nurse led us toward the nearest bed."The first patient arrived about three hours ago with a high fever and persistent cough. Two more came in shortly afterward. The fourth arrived less than an hour ago.""Are they connected?" I asked."Not that we've established. One patient recently returned from overseas, but the others haven't reported any comm

  • Betrayed And Reborn With A System Before The Apocalypse    A Harsh Accusation

    EVELYN'S POV "Doctor Evelyn, you stole my formula!"Vanessa's accusation rang through the parking lot.I turned sharply, finding her standing several feet away, her face twisted with indignation. Before I could respond, reporters emerged from every direction, cameras flashing as they crowded around us.What the hell was this?"Dr. Evelyn, is it true you stole Vanessa Cole's research?""Are you claiming to have discovered a preventive treatment using her formula?""Why did you announce your findings after Vanessa's breakthrough?"Questions came so quickly that I could barely distinguish one from another.Beside me, Adrian stepped forward."Everyone, please calm down. You're making accusations without—""Let them ask their questions," I interrupted.He glanced at me, surprised.I wasn't going to run from this.Vanessa had clearly planned this confrontation. She had waited until my interview attracted attention, then chosen a public place where her accusation would spread before I could

  • Betrayed And Reborn With A System Before The Apocalypse    005

    EVELYN’S POV“You believe this virus could become a global emergency within two months?”Dr. Adrian Hayes stared at me across the conference table, concern and disbelief written across his face.“I believe the risk is significant enough that we shouldn’t wait until it’s too late to prepare,” I replied. “If we’re wrong, we’ll have spent time investigating an emerging illness. If we’re right and do nothing, thousands of lives could be lost.”Adrian leaned back in his chair. “That’s a fair argument, but we still need evidence before the hospital will commit resources.”“I know. That’s why I want to present our preliminary findings to the research committee. We don’t need to claim we’ve solved anything. We need to show them why this deserves further investigation.”“And if they refuse?”“Then we find another way.”He studied me for a moment before smiling faintly.“You’ve changed, Evelyn. You used to worry so much about whether people would take your ideas seriously.”“I’ve realised that

  • Betrayed And Reborn With A System Before The Apocalypse    004

    EVELYN'S POVAfter messaging the lawyer I had contacted the previous night, I spent the morning organising my research notes and reviewing the information Adrian and I had discussed. There was still much to investigate, and the Medical Evolution System had made it clear that time was not on my side.There was one last thing I needed, and it was back at the apartment. I stood up, grabbed my keys and I left. By the time I arrived, I noticed the place was empty and Daniel wasn't home. I've never been more grateful, ever. I dropped my bag onto the sofa and glanced around the living room. I had once imagined building a future here with Daniel, but those dreams meant nothing to me anymore.I was about to undress when I heard voices approaching from the hallway.“She actually wants a divorce?” Vanessa asked, amusement evident in her voice.“Apparently. She's been acting strangely since yesterday.”“Maybe she's finally realised you deserve better.”I looked toward the doorway just as they w
