Chapter 1

“Trust me this time, honey! This time is different.” My wife Chloe Rinn’s voice echoed through the quiet living room.When she went shopping today, her best friend had recommended her a new plastic surgery clinic. Apparently, the clinic had headhunted a famous plastic surgeon from Korea with the offer of a high salary. The surgeon was very skilled and had many celebrities on his resume.Since they were just starting out, the clinic only charged thirty thousand dollars for a full-face makeover.“Doing a large-scale surgery is too risky! You may lose your facial functions or even your life…” Chloe interrupted me before I could finish that sentence. “Don't say such things! It’s bad luck. Besides, the doctor is really skilled. Celebrities lined up for an appointment with him.”She could not be convinced otherwise. All she could think of was how beautiful she would look after the surgery. “Fine. If you really want to go, I'll transfer the money after I get my salary in a few days.”

I even found her a more professional cosmetic hospital afterward, but all they did was slightly improve her existing foundations. I never expected her best friend Rachel to go for that surgery and end up blowing up online. Many casting directors invited her to join their movies. In comparison, Chloe could only maintain a small fanbase by following some healthy eating trends. Every day when I went home, she would scold me over the dinner table.“It's all your fault! If you hadn't stopped me, I'd be famous by now! The three of us wouldn't have to live in this tiny apartment. “You're always so risk-averse and paranoid about everything! The world out there isn't that dangerous. Do you think you're all that because you're a doctor? You only got into the hospital because of my father.”I was furious, but I glanced at my daughter, her head buried in her food, and suppressed my rage. “You'll only see the side effects of the surgery after some time. It's early days yet.”Chloe clicked

Chapter 3

In my previous life, Chloe pretended to give up after I persuaded her. That night, she invited Rachel to a bar, planning to swindle some men there and earn the money she needed for the surgery. However, her victim's wife caught her in the act.By the time I got there, the fight had been over. Chloe sat on the bed, her expression twisted in agony. Her eyes were red and there were scratches on her face. She sobbed at me, “Honey, believe me, the wine was drugged! I just went drinking for a change of mood. I have no idea what happened after I drank the wine…“Forgive me this time, please? If you don't believe me, you can test the wine for drugs.”She swore on her life. That time, I had asked my friend for a favor and tested the wine overnight. As expected, the results showed there were sleeping pills in the wine.Of course I forgave her after that. Even up till my death, I never once considered she was the one who put the pills there to drug the man.In my previous life, I even felt b

Chloe was the first to give in to the pressure. She covered her body with the sheets and sat next to me, giving the exact same excuse she gave in my previous life. I listened to her quietly. Perhaps it was the air-conditioning on full blast, but I could see the goosebumps all over her arms. At the same time, a sweat had broken out on her forehead due to her anxiety. Eventually, she could not stand the silence anymore. She stood up, ran to the coffee table, and picked up the fruit knife, placing it over her wrist.I took a step forward, staring at her trembling hand. So she was scared of dying, too?Did she ever stop to think if my daughter and I were scared when she burned us to death in the previous life? Recalling the agony of being burned all over and my daughter's anguished screams, I turned my gaze away coldly. “Let's get divorced. I get Ellie and the house, and you get the thirty thousand dollars I promised you.” My voice was emotionless to my own ears.Chloe stared a

Chapter 5

When I got home, Ellie was still asleep. About half an hour later, Chloe opened the door and came in quietly.“I agree to the divorce, but only if you give me a hundred thousand dollars. That's non-negotiable.”I stealthily packed Ellie’s bag for tomorrow, saying calmly, “I don't have a hundred thousand dollars. I can give you fifty at most.”Chloe was not happy with that result, but there was nothing she could do. She knew our financial situation. She knew that my salary had been spent on Ellie’s school fees and her plastic surgeries. After her father's company collapsed, the authorities swooped in and confiscated his assets. He and his wife ran abroad, leaving Chloe behind. She raised her voice to embolden herself. “Fine, then I'll sign the papers after I receive the money tomorrow. Also, you can't stop me whenever I want to see Ellie from now on.”I scoffed inwardly. She was not that attached to Ellie; she just wanted to keep Ellie as leverage over me.Once I agreed to her

After that, Chloe had her first surgery appointment even sooner than I expected. When I met her again half a month later, her entire face was wrapped in bandages. All I could see were her red and swollen eyes.“Are you disappointed to see that I survived the surgery?” she said in a muffled voice. I just shrugged.It was a particularly hot summer. From this distance, I could already smell a thick stench of sweat and rot emanating from her. I took a good look at her face for a while, and she scratched her neck awkwardly. “What are you looking at? I'm just recovering, that's all. I'll be gorgeous once they remove the stitches.”I ignored her, looking closely at the rashes on her neck instead. “Did you eat something you shouldn't have?”Chloe huffed. “What does that have to do with you? You should just watch more of my videos. People are already giving me all sorts of offers. Don't come begging me for forgiveness after I make it big!”She rolled her eyes at me, covered her face w

Chapter 7

“Ellie, do you want to come live with me from now on?” I rubbed her head and asked quietly as we walked toward the car.Ellie blinked and then lowered her head dejectedly. “Are you and Mommy splitting up? Mark in my class only has his dad, and now he has a new mom. Since then, he’s never had three square meals a day! I don't want to end up like that.”I looked at the long line of cars in front of the school, saying solemnly, “Mommy and Daddy won't live together anymore, but we still love you. I promise I won't give you a new mom. I'll work hard every day to earn enough money so I can buy you tasty food and pretty dresses.”Only then did Ellie’s face break into a smile. “Then will people still call me a copycat's daughter from now on?”I shook my head. “Shall we transfer schools next semester?”The hospital had offered to send me to another branch, but I never said yes because Chloe refused to leave. Now, I could consider moving sooner than later.The next time I met Chloe was hal

“I’m already at the hospital! Why aren’t you here yet?”When I was patrolling the wards one day, I saw a woman with a scarf wrapped around her head leaning against a doorframe, speaking urgently into her phone.She heard my footsteps and turned around. When she saw me, she immediately dragged me into my office. “Harry Scholes, give me a checkup right now! I don't know what's wrong with my body! It's been itching non-stop for days.”She took off her scarf and cap. Only then did I get a good look at her. The rashes on Chloe's neck had spread to her face, and some had even formed blisters. She probably scratched some of them because they itched too much, and now the open wounds were starting to fester. I could not believe it had taken her this long to get to the hospital. I shrugged. “Ma’am, I'm a neurosurgeon.”“I don't care what kind of surgeon you are! If you can't fix me, find someone who can! I have plenty of money!”Chloe slammed her handbag onto the desk and took out h

Chapter 9

After I got home that day, I saw Ellie watching Chloe's videos on her phone. “Daddy, Mommy’s changed.” She turned around and spoke to me sweetly as soon as she heard me open the door. I glanced at the phone. There were two similar faces on the lit-up screen, chatting away. It was Chloe and the healthy living influencer she copied. “The truth is we've always been good friends. She asked me before she made those videos copying mine.“I believe everyone has the right to become pretty. Every girl wants to look their best, after all!“Now she's gotten rid of her useless ex and made a career for herself! I couldn't be happier for her!”The influencer even applauded her. Chloe seemed quite moved, her eyes red as though she was about to cry. She sobbed as she thanked the viewers and followers who showered her with gifts. I almost burst out laughing. “Ellie, would you like it if someone copied you?”Ellie tilted her head and gave it some thought before saying decisively, “No, not at

Chapter 10

After that plastic surgery clinic was raided and shut down, Chloe finally sought me out again. She wore a mask, but some pink mucus still seeped out from underneath. She limped as she walked, as though she would trip and fall at any time.“Harry, please help me again, one more time! I was tricked. That clinic was a sham! My face has fallen apart so much that I don't even dare to show myself anymore…“Their so-called imported ingredients were bones from corpses! Please, could you help me find another clinic?”She took off her mask as she pleaded. Her face was covered in rotting skin and flesh, her nose and mouth distorted to different extents.Since the beginning, I had warned her not to get so much work done at once. I told her it would backfire, but she did not believe me.I said, “You can look for other plastic surgery companies and see if they can help you fix your face. There's nothing I can do.”She immediately stopped her pity party. “Bullshit! What do you mean, there's n
