Feel-Good Story

My husband, Julian Sutton, is busy with work on the day of my prenatal checkup. His childhood sweetheart, Vera Levine, with whom he's been amorous for years, offers to drive me. On the way there, she suddenly swerves and rams into the back of a truck. The car is flattened. Julian is a doctor in the emergency room, but I don't call him. Instead, I dial 911 and wait for assistance. Why? I called him in my past life, and he took me to the hospital. Our child was saved, but Vera died due to significant blood loss. Julian claimed not to blame me and even arranged for me to stay in a private hospital ward. But on the day I was discharged, he dragged me to Vera's grave and stabbed me. I lost the child and was on the verge of death as I stared into his bloodshot eyes. They were filled with unbridled hatred as he snarled, "Vera wouldn't have died if you hadn't grabbed the wheel! Don't think I'll believe you just because you're acting innocent! An eye for an eye—I want you to die for her, but only after experiencing the pain she felt in a hundredfold!" He twisted the blade and stabbed me repeatedly. My blood splattered on Vera's gravestone, dying it red. When I open my eyes again, I find that I've been taken back to the scene of the accident.

Chapter 1
After the crash, our car ended up wedged under a truck. A sudden pain in my stomach snapped me back to reality. That was when it hit me—I'd been reborn.I struggled to pull my phone out of my bag. Instead of calling my husband, who was an ER doctor, I dialed 911.Soon, an ambulance pulled up. Julian Sutton was the first to appear. He rushed over to the driver's side to help Vera Levine.After he got her out of the wreck, I finally felt like I could speak up and ask the other medical staff for help. But they just brushed me off, thinking I was making a scene, and ended up lecturing me for a while.I couldn't hold myself up anymore. I collapsed, and my pregnant belly slammed into the seat in front of me. Blood started pooling beneath me, soaking through my maternity dress.Still, no one even glanced my way. I gritted my teeth and dug deep to crawl out of the shattered back window.All the rescue equipment was being used on Vera. Julian didn't even glance at me. He just muttered, "Y

Chapter 2
I knew that Julian didn't love me, but I never expected his coworkers to misunderstand me this deeply.The cramps were so bad that I couldn't even make a sound. It felt like the blood was just rushing out of me uncontrollably. Everyone was gathered around Vera, and no one even bothered to check on me. Just when I thought I was about to pass out from blood loss, I heard someone yell, "Whoa, look at all that blood! That is really bad. She's in serious trouble, isn't she?""Nah, she's just faking it. She wants Dr. Sutton to ditch his friend and help her. None of this would've happened if it wasn't for her. Just ask Dr. Sutton."Finally, Julian drew closer. However, he wasn't coming to help me. He kicked at my head and snapped, "Had enough of the drama, Kate? I'm here now. You can drop the act."What's wrong with you? You grabbed the wheel yourself and ended up like this just to get me to feel sorry for you? I've told you a thousand times that Vera's my friend. That's it. Believe me

Chapter 3
I woke up in a ward. Instead of Julian, a stranger was standing by my bed."Are you alright?" the guy asked. "I was nearby when the crash happened and saw you lying there, so I brought you in. I wanted to call an ambulance, but some guy who was there said that one had already come and gone."The more he spoke, the more frustrated he sounded."I can't believe those medical staff! They just left you lying on the ground! And everyone else just stood around doing nothing! You could've died if I hadn't gotten you here!"I tried to move, but as soon as my hands touched my belly, I froze."I'm sorry. I got there too late," he apologized. "The doctor said that by the time I found you, the baby probably hadn't made it…"I forced a bitter smile and shook my head. "Thanks for getting me here. I get it. It's not on you."After a long pause, he handed me a glass of water. "You're pregnant. Why were you out riding alone? Doesn't your family care? The baby's dad should be the one stepping up.

Chapter 4
Julian didn't expect me to bring up the divorce. He froze for a second, then just snapped.I hung up before he could say anything else. I didn't even have time to block his number before my phone blew up with messages from him."You're the one who tried to grab the wheel and crash the car. I haven't even gone off on you for that yet, and now you're talking divorce? You're a killer!"The fact that I haven't called the police yet is me being merciful! You should be thanking me! Stop embarrassing yourself and take those lies down online! Don't make me expose the real you!"I stopped reading his texts and deleted all of them. Then, I blocked his number.A couple of nurses came in to change my bandages. They didn't seem to notice my face and just kept talking like nothing was wrong."Did you see the news online? It looks like Dr. Sutton's wife is causing trouble again! It's wild. Two women with the same name, but their lives are nothing alike. None of this would have happened if Mrs.

Chapter 5
I struggled to get back on my feet. When I saw how flustered Julian looked, I couldn't help but feel a weird sense of satisfaction."Now you remember that we have a kid?" I retorted. "You're calling me an unfit mom, but are you even cut out to be a dad? Where were you these past few days when I needed you?"Where were you when everyone was thrashing me? Where were you when I was lying on that operating table, waiting for someone in the family to sign off on the surgery?"His face went white."We lost the baby because of you, Julian. And now our marriage is over, too!" I yelled.I saw panic flash across his face, but it quickly turned to anger. "Stop acting like you're the victim. You brought all this on yourself! The crash happened because of you."Vera's already being the bigger person by not throwing the blame on you, yet you're now going to pin it all on me? I never thought that you'd stoop this low, Kate! I'm asking you one last time—what happened to the baby?"By now, a cro

Chapter 6
Julian's face twisted in disgust. The guy who used to be so calm and collected—like the perfect doctor—was nowhere to be found anymore.It finally hit me that our relationship had been over for a while. That day was just the day I came to terms with it.A wry smile spread across my face as I thought about the last few years of our marriage and all the pride I had to swallow."Julian," I murmured, "you still believe her, don't you? After all these years of marriage, after having a kid together, after…"After he killed me in my past life.He frowned, irritation written all over his face. "I've told you that Vera and I are just friends. I've explained it a million times, but you won't listen. Believe whatever you want. If you're determined to misinterpret everything, there's nothing I can do about it."The crowd basically condemned me after hearing what he said. They crowded around me, but no one stepped up to help. Their insults came nonstop, each one cutting deeper into my already

Vera wore a smug, taunting look. "You've already lost, Kate. Even if you get pregnant, you'll never beat me. I'm the one Jules really cares about."I couldn't care less about her. All I could think about was getting to the police and having her arrested. But she wasn't done yet. She grabbed my arm."How about one last game? That way, you'll really know that you've lost when it's over."I frowned, feeling uneasy. "I've already divorced Julian like you wanted. What more do you want from me?"Her eyes shifted to something behind me. The next thing I knew, she tripped and tumbled down the stairs, hitting every step before crashing into the wall and finally stopping."Vera!" Julian yelled from behind me.I quickly stepped aside, avoiding him this time.He rushed over to scoop her up in his arms, shooting me a glare full of pure hatred. "Haven't you learned anything after losing a child, Kate? Why can't you just move on? What more must I do to get you to leave me alone?"I already ag

Julian shoved me hard, and I only stopped falling when I crashed into the wall.Pain surged through my chest like everything was slipping away. My eyes stung with tears, and I couldn't form any words.Julian slowly descended the stairs and stood right in front of me. I tried to back away, but my back hit the wall again. I gasped as another wave of pain hit."Since you won't apologize, I will make you feel everything that Vera experienced!" Julian shouted, his anger completely taking over.He ignored my cries and yanked me by the hair, dragging me out of the courthouse.A crowd had been waiting for the chance, ready with their "weapons". When they saw me, they started throwing rotten eggs and vegetables at me.The foul stench hit me, and my stomach twisted. They kept shouting that I needed to "pay for taking a life".However, Julian kept walking, his steps more determined than ever. He was heading straight for the middle of the road.I had a bad feeling about what he was plannin

Chapter 9
I finally saw Julian for who he truly was. I was infuriated. I shot him a furious look and snapped, "Are you really still taking her side, Julian? Your son—your own flesh and blood—died in that crash! What the hell is wrong with you?""Alright, everyone. Take it easy," a police officer said. "We will make a fair judgment based on the evidence and the investigation. No one's getting out of this."We hung around at the station, waiting for updates, while Vera kept trying to justify herself about the accident."The traffic was insane that day. I panicked, and everything just spiraled out of control. But I swear, I never meant to hurt Kate. Please, you have to believe me. It wasn't on purpose. I could barely even think straight. I was so scared, and I almost broke down…"Julian frowned and looked at her with genuine concern. "I know you've got a good heart. You'd never do something like this. Don't worry. The police are already checking the traffic cameras. They'll clear your name."I
