In Death, I Found the Truth

I wouldn't let Kate and Jack get away with it this time.…The door to the hospital room swung open, and in walked my future mother-in-law, Heidi Ford.She carried an enormous thermal flask as she entered.The moment she saw me, she rolled her eyes without even trying to hide it, then forced a smile to play the role of the benevolent mother figure."Natasha, your surgery is tomorrow. I made some chicken soup specially for you. Drink it first thing in the morning to build up your strength for the procedure."I stared at the chicken soup, lost in thought.In my previous life, she'd also brought chicken soup for me. At the time, I'd been genuinely touched, but because of the pre-surgery fasting rule, I hadn't touched it.I'd naively thought she didn't understand hospital regulations and had even patiently explained it to her.However, when I declined her soup, she flipped out and called Jack to complain that I was disrespectful.Wait a second—didn't she mention back then that Ka

Heidi said, "Natasha, share the bed with me. Jack just finished a shift. He needs rest.""Um, why don't we let Jack go home to sleep? We only need his signature for tomorrow anyway."My parents had passed away long ago, so the signature for the surgery would need to be done by my boyfriend. But in my past life, Jack hadn't been at the hospital, and Heidi had signed the papers for me.I was surprised after learning that since I had never expected the hospital to overlook it."No, I'm going out for a smoke to clear my head. It's almost 4:00 am. You get some sleep, Nat."With that, Jack left the room but stayed just outside the door.Heidi called out to him a few times, but when he didn't respond, she decided to just sleep in my bed.…I sat on the caregiver's bed, anxiously watching the door and trying not to let Jack notice I was keeping an eye on him.Sleepiness hit me hard; before I knew it, I was drifting into a haze of drowsiness."Nat, come on, wake up and drink some soup

Kate didn't come alone.When the nurse went to find her, Kate's supervisor happened to be there as well. After hearing that Kate's mother was causing a scene at the hospital, he'd decided to tag along.Kate arrived with a gloomy look on her face. When she saw Heidi, red-faced and shouting with her hair in disarray, her expression turned as dark as soot.Heidi might act tough with others, but she absolutely dotes on her daughter. The moment she saw Kate, she stopped fighting, only to be scratched a few times by the woman in the process.Kate's supervisor took one look at the mess and, seeing that the troublemaker was indeed Kate's mother, casually told her to stay and help clean up the room.Kate glared at Heidi, picked up a plastic bag, and pretended to clean. Right after her supervisor left, she turned to the nurse and started giving orders without any courtesy.The nurse didn't tolerate her attitude. She turned around to inform Kate's supervisor about it, which made Kate stomp

"Natasha, Mr. Andrews isn't wrong. If you can't maintain basic chastity as a woman, how can you become a leader? As long as I'm around, I'll never let someone as morally corrupt as you rise to power."What an idiot.I retorted, "That's rich coming from someone who blew through the project funds. If all you're good for is scrambling for scraps under the table, maybe don't bark so loudly."Ignoring the two of them, I lowered my head to reply to some messages on my phone."Ms. Cabot, I'm glad you're finally interested in joining my company.""I'll join you if you kick out my ex-boyfriend," I responded.Honestly, I wasn't interested in a managerial role. I merely wanted my own office.At the moment, I was working at a small company. Neither the pay nor the prospects were very good, but I stuck it out because I appreciated the boss taking me in when I was a fresh graduate.Unfortunately, my first love was a jerk, and it seemed my first company wasn't much better.Jack's company had

In my past life, I had mistakenly gone to the hospital where Kate worked for a checkup, thinking I was pregnant. Hence, when I complained about something being wrong, Kate quickly figured out it was me.Since I had not told anyone about this, I was dumbfounded at how quickly Jack had figured it out. At that time, he had not even taken the day off and had rushed straight to the hospital to reprimand me.Before heading to the health inspection committee, I backed up everything on my phone—files about Kate, a video of Heidi's fight at the hospital, my medical records, and insurance details.I made several backups and scheduled them to be released.This way, even if things didn't go as planned for me, at least Kate and the Diller family's wrongdoings would come to light.I wasn't relying entirely on the internet, though.Many medical incidents worse than mine had been posted online and barely caused a ripple. There was too much new information online, and even things involving life a
