Reborn as the long-lost Rogers heir, missing for fifteen years, I avoided every chance to bond with my two brothers in this family. When they tossed me Vivi’s discarded, ill-fitting gown for the family gala, I smiled and put it on. When they sent Vivi to get an elite education while ordering me to scrub the utility room, I picked up the mop without a word. When they let Vivi chase love and dumped her rejected suitor on me, I didn’t fight. I accepted her leftovers with a calm nod. This was all because in my past life, I had spent my entire life desperate for my brothers' approval, only to end up despised by everyone for it. When I died in the crossfire of a gangland shootout, my own son pushed my body away in disgust. "Mom, did you really waste your whole life on such a petty fight with Aunt Vivi? Dying for the family would have been a more dignified end. At least then you wouldn't have disgraced our name." I left this world filled with resentment, only to open my eyes and find myself back at the moment I first set foot in the Rogers estate. This time, I'm done fighting. The power, the name, the honor. I'm letting them have it all. I’ve already been accepted into a closed-door medical project. Soon they will never see me again.

This Time I’m Done Fighting Chapter 9
The day I left, Fred insisted on driving me to the airport.The air in the car was more suffocating than the ICU. Fred kept rubbing the steering wheel.I guessed he was probably thinking that if he hadn't been distracted by Vivi's fake fall on that stormy night, if he had asked just one more question about that car, maybe things would have turned out differently.As we neared the security checkpoint, he finally spoke, his voice hoarse. "Helena, will you come back again? Bryan acts tough, but he really cares about you. We... we all miss you.""And we all... really want to make it up to you."This was the brother who couldn't even remember my severe mango allergy, now talking about making things up to me.What were they afraid of? The family's decline, or losing me, their 'get-out-of-jail-free card'?"Fred.""I have just one question.""If I hadn't won that medical award, if I had really been just a lowly grunt worker like Vivi said, and had come crawling back in disgrace..."I took a st
This Time I’m Done Fighting Chapter 8
Back in Zurich, I fed the plane ticket from New York into a shredder.The suffocating smell of disinfectant and the false affection of my family were now sealed off beyond the Alps.I was fast-tracked into the Ph.D. program and spent sixteen hours a day in the sterile lab.My life gradually found its rhythm. I even managed to buy an apartment on the shores of Lake Zurich with my full scholarship and patent royalties.During this time, Fred kept calling, refusing to give up.His tone shifted from initial accusation to cautious flattery, even a hint of humility I had never heard from him before."Helena, Bryan's temper is getting worse and worse. You're the only one who...""I'm busy.""Vivi's not doing well after marrying into the Moretti family. That bastard has a mistress and he's hitting her... Bryan won't do anything about it, can you...""That's the path she chose."I would always cut him off coldly and hang up. They probably still thought I was putting on an act, still throwing a

I went back to New York anyway.The air there was still thick with the smell of gasoline and a suffocating, damp chill.I brought no luggage, standing alone in the VIP wing of the private hospital.After all, my mentor in Zurich was a world-renowned cardiovascular authority. If Bryan really needed a transfer or a more aggressive surgical plan, I could actually help.Perhaps it was just for that last shred of a blood tie.I stood at the door to his room, took a deep breath, and fought the nausea churning in my stomach.The door was ajar, and I could hear Bryan's cold, hard voice from inside.Even fresh out of surgery, his temper was as foul as ever. It was no wonder he had a heart condition."Transfer? To Europe?" Bryan snorted, his voice weak but still arrogant. "What good doctors are there? Just a bunch of bookworms who only know how to run experiments.""But Don, Professor Wagner in Zurich is truly...""Enough," Bryan cut in impatiently. "That girl Helena studies there for two year
This Time I’m Done Fighting Chapter 6
A year later, I officially joined my mentor in the sealed laboratory deep in the Alps.The core research area of the project had no internet or cell service. The number of times I even looked at my phone could be counted on one hand.I threw myself into researching a new immunotherapy, and found the life deeply fulfilling.One evening, just after I'd taken off my sterile suit and stepped out of the white building, I put my SIM card back into my phone. The screen nearly froze under the flood of incoming messages.Hundreds of missed calls. All from Fred.Before I could even read the texts, the phone buzzed again. I answered, and a roar immediately came from the other end."Helena! Where the hell have you been? A whole year! Do you have any idea how long we've been looking for you?"I held the phone away from my ear and rubbed my aching temples. "I already told you, my research project is sealed off. No signal, no internet.""Is something wrong?" I was confused. In the past, the family
