I summoned all my might to push the heavy cabinet off me. Pain plunged into me like a blade several times. However, it wasn't a big deal compared to the agony I endured in my last life.Serena slumped to the ground in shock upon seeing that. "Raiden, you jerk! The hospital director will never forgive you for this!"She was the only person who knew my true identity in this hospital. Alas, her words only garnered a more heartless, taunting response from Raiden. Raiden sneered, his tone full of disdain. "Won't forgive me?" He clicked his tongue. "Ridiculous! Celia's the only daughter of Lumley Medical's chairperson. The director will never forgive me if anything happens to her!"I struggled to climb out of the gap between the cabinet and the floor. The wound on my leg had been ripped open in the process, my blood staining every inch of my body. Even so, I couldn't care less. I had to live!There wasn't much time left, so I shouted at Serena at once, "Stop begging him to save me! Get

I passed out before I could get a better look at my dad. It was already the evening the next day when I awoke. My limbs were wrapped in thick plaster and bandages, which prevented me from moving one bit. Despite that, I felt brand new."Winifred!" Serena was worn out but still lunged to my bedside with excitement.I wanted to wave back at her, but I only felt pain when I moved my arm.Serena tensed upon seeing me like that. Tears rolled down her cheeks at once. "You idiot! Do you know how badly injured you are?"A frail chuckle left my lips. "A-At least I managed to live…"I didn't owe Raiden anything in this life. My dad and I wouldn't die now."Oh, you!" Serena cried but also couldn't help laughing. While grabbing some tissues, he said, "I've told your dad everything. He was so livid that he ordered everyone to hold a conference to confront everyone about what happened."I could no longer hold back my tears once I heard that. After all, Raiden's grudge against me ultimately

Dad came to check on me in the ward after wrapping up the urgent matters he had on hand. He had bloodshot eyes, and his beard was a scraggly mess. Concern and exhaustion showed on every inch of his face."Winifred… How did this… It hasn't been that long since I went abroad… How did this…" He was so choked up that he couldn't speak. His hand trembled as he caressed the bandage around my face. At the same time, his brows wrinkled with worry.I could no longer hold back my tears after seeing my dad, who seemed to have suddenly aged all at once. In my last life, I had wrongly placed my trust in Raiden. It caused the hospital run by my family, the Zalmers, for over ten years to end up in others' hands. We lost all our assets and wealth. My dad couldn't take that blow, so he fell gravely ill and died not long after.As for Raiden, he stepped on the destruction of my dad's life and my family's career to advance in the medical world. He became a newly revered figure in the industry.Ho

That was when my dad uttered something to his phone.Shortly after, someone suddenly opened the conference room door. Dad's assistant came in with a solemn expression. Behind him was an ashen-faced upper-class woman.The woman's strict gaze scanned the conference room before landing on Celia. "Ms. Lumley? She's the Lumley family's heiress, huh?""M-Mrs. Lumley…" The executives shot to their feet at once. They then tremblingly stared at my dad while speaking. "We have to keep this private, Mr. Zalmer. Our hospital can't afford to lose Lumley Medical's support!""Yeah… See? Even Mrs. Lumley has come here in person…"Dad snorted, lit a cigarette, and took his time exhaling a smoke ring. "Take a good look, Mrs. Lumley. Is Celia your daughter?"When Celia heard the words "Mrs. Lumley", her face paled even more. She couldn't help but lower her head and quiver in fear, not daring to meet the wealthy woman's eyes.The woman eyed Celia from head to toe with disdain before scoffing. "My d
