Zara lowered her gaze and muttered, “How did she find out about my past?” She felt rage bubbling inside of her. She thought whatever happened between her and Drake Hall she would take to the grave, and no one would ever find out.

Samantha approached Zara with a confused expression and asked, “Miss Pearson, was Mr Phillips the father of your children? Did you harm baby Colton because Mr Phillips forced you to abort your children?

I am asking because you told the court that you had never dated any

  • If Life Had A Rewind Button   Chapter 106 Common Criminal

    At the Stanton family home in Australia, Maddox sat in the garden with Rain, nestled in a vibrant expanse of blooms. Their easy laughter drifted through the air as they talked.Rain was healing beautifully, the natural glow of her pink cheeks a clear sign that her strength was returning.Maddox looked at Rain with tenderness in his eyes and said, "I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see you coming back to yourself, my sweet Rain. Seeing you healing so nicely, it’s everything I have hoped for.Rain reached out, her fingers lightly brushing his, her gaze holding his with a newfound vulnerability. She whispered, her voice steady despite the emotion behind it, “I wouldn't be sitting here if it weren't for you, my dearest Maddox.Seeing the way you look at me, it makes me realize that my recovery isn't just about my health, but it’s about us."The garden fell into a peaceful stillness, the only sound being the distant hum of the world outside their private sanctuary.They sat in the

  • If Life Had A Rewind Button   Chapter 105 Fragile Heart

    Later, Mrs Pearson and her son, Austin, went to the hospital to visit her husband. When they arrived in the ICU, Mr Pearson was sleeping soundly.Austin stood by his father's bedside, the news of the remanded charges settling over him like a suffocating shroud. He looked at the frail man hooked up to the monitors, and his heart ached. A few minutes later, his father opened his foggy eyes. His mother beamed with joy and asked, “How are you feeling, my darling?”Mr Pearson turned his gaze toward his family, his lips moving in a desperate attempt to form words, but all that emerged was a heavy, slurred mumble. His wife’s heart sank; her disappointment was palpable.She was reminded how clearly her husband had spoken just before the medical board arrived.When Austin saw his father's frustration, he quickly slid a tablet into his trembling hands. Then his father wrote, “Son, what happened during the evaluation process?”Austin looked at his father and replied, “I don’t know, Dad. Uncle G

  • If Life Had A Rewind Button   Chapter 104 Exoneration

    After Mr Pearson had been moved to the ICU, Dr Barnes collapsed on the chair. He was drained, not just physically, but morally. He stared at his trembling hands and said, “After today’s incident, I will resign from the medical board.My skepticism nearly cost a man his life. I was so desperate to find a fraud that I almost ignored a dying heart. I can’t trust my own judgment anymore.”A stunned silence fell over the room as Dr Barnes’ words hung in the air. His colleagues exchanged looks of sheer disbelief.Dr Gomez stepped forward, shaking her head, and said, “Don’t be so hard on yourself, Sir. You are one of the best we have. If I were in your shoes, I would have done the same thing. We all thought the patient was faking the illness to dodge a prison cell.”Dr Barnes shook his head and said, “It doesn't matter what you would have done, Dr Gomez. I am the one who almost let him die while I was smirking at his 'performance’.The medical board needs someone who can see the man, not jus

  • If Life Had A Rewind Button   Chapter 103 Resuscitation

    Dr Barnes crossed his arms, a cold, practiced smirk tugging at his lips. Having spent years evaluating patient-prisoners, he had developed a sixth sense for the accused's performance.To him, the hospital bed used to be another stage where criminals performed their most desperate acts to avoid a prison cell.Dr Pitts, who was standing by the door, lunged towards his patient’s bed. However, before he could reach him, Dr Barnes blocked him.He looked at Dr Pitts with eyes full of accusation and asked coldly, “What game are you playing, Dr Pitts?”A surge of anger rose in Dr Pitts’ heart, and he shouted, “Are you blind? Don’t you see that my patient is dying?”Dr Barnes didn't even flinch. He let out a sharp, mocking scoff. Then he turned his back on Dr Pitts and leaned over the patient, his face inches from the man who was purportedly crashing.He didn’t have a doubt in his mind that it was nothing but a staged emergency. To him, it wasn't a medical crisis, but it was a calculated perfo

  • If Life Had A Rewind Button   Chapter 102 Medical Board Members

    The heavy silence of the office was shattered as his secretary knocked on the door. Lawyer Marsh glanced at the door and said, “Come in.” His secretary approached him and handed him a letter still warm from the fax machine.The letter confirmed that the independent medical board would be at the Stanton Private Hospital the following day at 10 am, to evaluate his client, whose severe stroke had secured him a fragile medical bail.It was a victory Prosecutor Long intended to dismantle, viewing the court's leniency not as justice, but as a challenge to be overturned. He was determined to prove that the reprieve was unearned.Lawyer Marsh took the letter from his secretary with a steady hand, a flicker of grim satisfaction in his eyes.He held a quiet, unshakeable faith that the devastation of the stroke would tell its own story; far more convincing than any argument he could ever craft.Dismissing his secretary with a curt nod of thanks, Lawyer Marsh stood up from his desk and retrieved

  • If Life Had A Rewind Button   Chapter 101 The Trail Went Cold

    Prosecutor Long stood frozen as the notification flashed on his screen. It was a confirmation from the High Court Registrar that Mr Pearson's travel documents had been surrendered.Lawyer Marsh hadn't slipped, and the deadline hadn't been missed. He cursed Mr Pearson in his heart, then he swept a stack of case files off his desk. The folders hit the floor, spilling evidence across the room.Prosecutor Long's legs finally gave out, and he collapsed into his leather chair, the air rushing out of him in a defeated gasp.Half an hour later, he calmed himself down, and then he dialed the lead investigator on the money laundering case.When the call was connected, he didn’t waste time on pleasantries and said, “I would like to find out how far you are with the investigation, Sir.”The lead investigator, Sean Shaw, let out a jagged sigh that crackled over the line and replied, “We have hit a wall, Prosecutor Long. We tracked the offshore transfers to a shell company, but the trail went cold.

    Jasper looked at his friend and replied, “She is in the VIP ward number 1201. I think Maddox paid for her private ward. How could an orphan afford the VIP ward?”Unbeknownst to them, the Stanton family had reserved the twelfth floor for the Stanton family members and relatives.Payton nodded his hea

    Payton’s hands were trembling with anger, and his eyes were glued to Maddox’s gift. How could Rain give another man a gift without discussing it with him? Are they not husband and wife?Gemma sneered, disgust evident in her voice, “Maddox, don’t be deceived, these are not real diamonds but imitation
