Chapter 2

Author: Perfect Timing
The bus buzzed with a storm of chatter.

Seeing that I still sat there without moving, Bella’s gaze shifted slightly.

Her brows furrowed deeper, her body began to sway as if about to collapse, and her eyes reddened instantly.

“Just let me sit for a moment. I’ll give you whatever money you want.”

As she spoke, she pulled a hundred-dollar bill from her bag and tried to push it into my hand, while the phone pressed against her stomach, pointing straight at my face.

A chill spread through my chest, and I spoke calmly.

“I don’t feel well. I won’t give up my seat.”

After saying that, I did not even spare her a glance.

Bella seemed not to have expected such a cold refusal.

After pausing for a moment, she suddenly collapsed beside me.

Cries of alarm rose around us, and the bus quickly came to a stop.

Kind-hearted passengers wanted to take Bella to the hospital, but she shook her head and bit her lip as she looked at me.

“I never expected that, as a fellow woman, you would be so heartless.”

The elderly women around us comforted Bella kindly while directing a torrent of criticism at me.

“It’s just giving up a seat, yet you pushed her until she fainted.”

“What terrible manners.”

Felix, who had crouched down to check on Bella, suddenly stood up in a rage.

“I never thought you were such a horrible woman.

“It’s just giving up a seat, yet you’re pretending to be sick!

“Besides, I was the one who gave you this seat in the first place. Get up!”

Viewers in Bella’s livestream praised Felix, calling him a gentleman for defending her.

At the same time, they did not forget to belittle and curse me.

Hearing Felix speak up for her made me so angry that I wanted to slap him.

My face was pale, and even my steps had been unsteady, yet he had not noticed at all, his attention fixed entirely on Bella, whose ghostly pallor came from layers of foundation.

He truly was pathetic, rushing to defend his crush.

In my previous life, after I finished my procedure, Felix had called to remind me that it was the third anniversary of our relationship.

I had said I felt unwell and did not want to go out, but he insisted that I celebrate with him.

He even told me we should take the bus somewhere, promising to give me a surprise.

Now it was clear that the whole thing had been nothing more than a trap he and his love had carefully planned, waiting for me to jump straight into it.

I shot a cold glance at Felix and the people pointing fingers at me.

“Since you’re all so kind, why don’t these ladies with perfectly good legs give up their seats instead?”

The elderly women around us looked slightly embarrassed after being exposed.

What I had not expected was that Felix suddenly grabbed me and yanked me to my feet.

He pulled so hard that I stumbled, and the bag in my hand slipped.

A hospital report sheet fell out and landed right in front of Bella.

Just as I moved to pick it up, Bella had grabbed it.

She read it aloud immediately.

“Dilation and Curettage Report.”

My mind exploded with a deafening roar.

Felix reacted instantly and slapped me across the face.

“You dared to cheat on me!”

Then he turned to the people around us and continued, “I have never slept with her.”

In an instant, both the bus and the livestream erupted.

    I didn’t say a word.

Or I’ll jump!”Fear clawed at me, yet I stepped forward slowly.

    I let out a bitter laugh.“Do you have one billion dollars? If you do, I’ll step forward and declare you innocent.”“You’re extorting me!” Bella cried.“So what? You deserve this. You love controlling public opinion, don’t you? Too bad this time, you’re the one experiencing it.”I raised my hand and lightly tapped her cheek.“This is karma. Every action has its consequence.”While the police collected evidence, Bella registered a new account to livestream again.But this time, she streamed only herself. The content? A threat of suicide—jumping from a building.…Bella stood on the rooftop of my building, each word dripping with accusation as she denounced the pain we had caused her.“They say acknowledging your mistakes is the greatest virtue. I apologized, admitted my faults, and offered compensation—why won’t you let me go?“Do you only feel satisfied if I die?”“So many others made mistakes—why single me out?”She cried and leaned dangerously close to the edge.From

    After that, I went home and quietly waited for the court hearing.But before the trial, several people who had been harmed by Bella reached out to me. That was when I realized just how horrible she truly was.She had livestreamed a fifteen-year-old girl with O-shaped legs, claiming the leg curvature was caused by excessive pornographic activity, which drove the girl into depression and eventually led her to jump to her death.Then she had livestreamed a well-meaning male teacher tutoring students, implying he might be harassing them, and the teacher was publicly vilified.…Some families wept in front of me, unable to comprehend how their lives had been twisted and destroyed by an influencer’s manipulations.Memories of my own tragic death in my previous life surged in my mind.After I died, my parents went white overnight, and not long after, they too passed away.The most infuriating part was that public opinion did not even spare the dead.Our family grave had been vandal

    Bella continued to stubbornly deny the truth.“Nonsense! My brother-in-law is the head of Obstetrics at St. Catherine’s Medical Center. His name is Doctor Mark Spencer.”“That man is a complete fraud,” I said.Gavin rubbed his forehead in exasperation and sighed.“Mark did work at our hospital once, but he was fired long ago.“He was an attending physician, but his misconduct damaged the hospital’s reputation, so they dismissed him. “I heard he’s now working as a veterinarian, specializing in postnatal care for sows.”Bella was dumbfounded.I looked at her stunned face and then at everyone present. “I said I would hold anyone accountable who spreads rumors about me.“Just wait and see!”With that, I took Gavin’s hand and left the bus.Seeing that I still felt unwell, Gavin hailed a taxi and brought me back to the hospital.After resting in the hospital for two days, I began preparing to sue Bella, Felix, and everyone who had ever spread rumors about me.The process move

    “Even uterine fibroids require a dilation and curettage procedure.”I pressed the diagnosis report confirming my uterine fibroids up to the camera.Bella snatched the paper, staring at it in disbelief, muttering that it was impossible.The livestream comments flooded in again, but this time the focus shifted onto Bella.[Oh my god, I suddenly realize how terrifying it is for women to be the target of terrible rumors. They almost ruined a woman’s entire life.][I’m just saying, this is livestream moral coercion. Giving up a seat is kindness; refusing is one’s right.][Exactly. Influencers these days just get carried away because they have a few loyal fans.]In my previous life, I had two surgery reports in total, but Felix had deliberately hidden the report diagnosing me with uterine fibroids.In this second life, the first thing I did was protect this report with all my strength.Bella panicked and looked at me, trying to argue her case, “You must have fabricated the report be

    But Bella had a swarm of fans, and her momentarily bent posture straightened again.[Everyone loves beauty. What’s wrong with wearing a short skirt?][I agree with the other comments. This woman is just jealous of our precious Bella.]Bella dropped the act. She pressed my report against her phone camera and shared it with everyone in her stream.She curled her lips in a meaningful smile. “I know you’re upset about giving me your seat, but this report is the truth.“Which proper girl goes for a dilation and curettage procedure?“Besides, your boyfriend already said he never touched you, so clearly you’ve been playing around.”People whispered among themselves and nodded in agreement. Once again, I was laid bare under their scrutiny.Bella then pulled out another phone and made a call. The moment it connected, she began to speak.“Hello? I remember you’re the head of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at St. Catherine’s Medical Center. I want to ask you something.”
