Revenge After Rebirth

"Emily, I’m here for my check-up."

The familiar voice gave me a jolt.

Looking around, a bold thought hit me. Had I been reborn?

Mechanically, I took the paperwork from Mira’s hand.

My eyes scanned the form for the tests listed, the date, and the truth sank in. Yes, I had been given a second chance.

I looked at Mira’s innocent face and felt the urge to tear her apart.

In my last life, I was blinded by the way she treated me and actually believed her family thought of me like one of their own.

That was how I ended up trusting them.

"Mira, you’re here. Why didn’t you give me a heads-up first?

"We’re family, aren’t we? No need to waste money on a check-up. Just take this form back to the clinic and get a refund.

"I’ll do the check-up for you later for free."

The moment I said “free”, Mira’s eyes lit up.

"Perfect! Thanks, Emily!" She snatched the form from my hands and walked out.

I watched her back as she left, then immediately pulled out my phone and called the director to submit my resignation.

This time, I wouldn’t leave any room for accidents.

By the time noon rolled around, I was done with my shift. Mira finally came back to the CT room, drenched in sweat.

"Emily, your hospital is ridiculous. Getting that refund was such a hassle.

“I had to run from one department to another all morning.

"Good thing you’re still here. You can do my check-up now, right?"

She started shrugging off her white coat.

"Let’s do it later. It’s my lunch break, and I’m starving.”

"What? How can you be like this? I ran around for hours because of you!"

The moment I refused, her sweet facade cracked.

"Don’t be mad! How about I take you out for lunch?"

"Fine. But you’d better be ready. I’m going to make you pay!"

"Deal. And call your brother to come. Let’s have a meal together."
