Chapter 1

Upon being reincarnated, I was having breakfast with Nicholas Connelly. He peeled an egg for me, being all sweet and caring."Theresa, what were you about to say?"In my last life, on this exact day, I told him that Shereen Miller had HIV. Shereen had come to me for a prenatal checkup. When her blood test results came back, I noticed that she had HIV.However, she had no clue that a blood test could reveal that. She even smirked and teased me, "Guess who the father of my baby is? It's your husband."My mind went blank. So, she and Nicholas had already slept together. He cheated on me, but if she had HIV, then Nicholas was most likely infected too.Without time to grieve, I rushed to tell Nicholas, and urged him to get tested and take emergency medication.Sadly, he didn’t believe me. He flipped the table over and shouted, "Theresa, how can you be so vicious? Just because Shereen and I got a little closer, you want to slander her with HIV?""Listen to me, this is serious—"Befor

I found the playback and reviewed the past month’s footage.Sure enough, I saw plenty of times when Nicholas took Shereen out for fun, and there were even mentions of booking hotel rooms. I even heard them being intimate in the car."Nick, isn’t this kind of bad?" Shereen’s voice was soft and sweet, sounding incredibly pleasant to the ear. Rumor had it that Nicholas had fallen for her voice back when they were together."What’s so bad about it? Don’t you want to be with me? We’ve been apart for so many years. Don’t you miss me?""Of course I do… Mmm, Nick, you’re so good with your tongue.""I can make you feel even better. Just wait."That was as far as I could listen. I bolted out of the car and vomited uncontrollably.Who would have thought I had wasted seven years—seven whole years— loving a man like this?At that moment, the flames of vengeance burned fiercer than ever in my heart.…Everything from my past life still felt fresh in my mind.When I told Nicholas that Sher

I copied the car dashcam footage onto a USB drive.Then, I immediately contacted a lawyer and filed for divorce. Since Nicholas cheated during the marriage, I demanded that he leave with nothing.After that, I went to the hospital and scheduled an abortion. Bringing this child into the world without a complete family would be irresponsible. So, not having the baby was the best choice.Unfortunately, I never expected to run into Nicholas and Shereen at the hospital. They had just walked out of the gynecology department.Nicholas had his arm wrapped around her, laughing and chatting intimately. They looked like a perfectly happy couple.The moment he saw me, he quickly let go of her and hurried to explain, "I just came with Shereen for her checkup. Theresa, you know her husband passed away… She’s all alone…""Oh, I know." I smiled sweetly. "Nicky, make sure you take good care of her. She must be so pitiful on her own."Nicholas grinned. "Theresa, you’re so understanding. That’s wh

Nicholas’s pupils shrank suddenly as he pushed the door open and rushed out."Shereen, do you have AIDS?"Shereen's eyes flashed with panic the moment she saw him. “N-no… no, I don't.""Then, why did you just ask the doctor that?""I have a friend who has AIDS. I was askin7g for her."Hearing this, Nicholas immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I thought you had AIDS."‘So, he’s actually pretty scared of AIDS, huh?’At this moment, it seemed like he just remembered what had happened earlier. He turned back to look at me and said, "Theresa, what's done is done. No matter what you do, I won’t leave Shereen. She’s carrying my child."After saying that, he tightly interlocked his fingers with Shereen’s."Fine, then let’s get a divorce." I looked at him coldly.Shereen immediately objected. "No, you can’t get divorced. Nicholas, if you divorce her, you’ll leave with nothing. Don’t fall for her trap!"I sneered. "Do you think you can just refuse to divorce me? Nicho

"Why?!" He grabbed my hand like a madman."You already have a child." I violently shook him off. "Nicholas, don’t you love Shereen? I’m just helping you two be together. Isn’t that a good thing?"In my past life, he was the one who said that I was the obstacle between him and Shereen. This time, I’d fulfill their wish."Theresa, you’ll regret leaving me." He glared at me furiously before slamming the door and storming out.I wouldn’t regret it. The only one who would regret it was him. After all, he was so terrified of AIDS.Once I recovered, I went to Nicholas’s office. I knew he wouldn’t be there today because I saw his latest social media post—he was out shopping for wedding outfits with Shereen.The caption read: "My baby is so beautiful."Disgusting.I wondered if he’d still think she was beautiful when he found out she had AIDS.I extracted some files from his computer and left quietly.Soon, the day of the trial arrived. Nicholas’s affair was well-documented, so I won

Chapter 6

When I left the restroom, I saw Shereen and Nicholas comforting the patient’s wife."Ma’am, don’t worry," Shereen said. "My boyfriend and I will help you sue her. We’ll make sure she goes to prison."The moment she saw me, she fell silent, but the hatred in her eyes was obvious.Just then, a police officer approached me."The hospital’s surveillance cameras were broken. They weren’t repaired in time."At the same time, the autopsy report came out. The cause of death: post-surgical infection due to a pair of scissors left inside his body.Just like in my past life, my surgical assistants testified that only I had touched those scissors."So she really did kill him." Shereen pointed at me.Nicholas stared coldly. "Theresa, you have to pay for your mistake.""Wait," I interrupted. Then I handed my phone to the police officer. "Officer, I have a personal habit of recording my surgeries for reference. I installed a camera with the hospital director’s permission."The moment I said

In the end, every one of them faced legal consequences, but Nicholas managed to escape punishment.I clenched my fists, swallowing my anger.It didn’t matter—I still had other ways to send him to prison.…That night, Nicholas came looking for me again. He knocked on the door, but this time, I didn’t open it.He sneered from outside. “Theresa, money is omnipotent. Today, every single one of them refused to testify against me for the sake of money. Haha, do you really think you can win against me?“But I must say, you’re smart. You actually predicted my plan in advance. I’d like to see if you can escape next time, just like you did this time.”After he left, he didn’t come after me for a long while. I knew he was definitely planning something even bigger to take me down, so I hired several bodyguards to protect myself.Then, I focused on my work at the hospital, staying low-key because promotion season was coming up. Not only did I want revenge, but I also wanted to advance my c

Chapter 8

“You knew you had AIDS, and you still slept with me?”Nicholas was absolutely livid. He ripped off his suit jacket and threw it to the ground, then frantically wiped his hands with tissues.“Shereen, I swear, if anything happens to me, I’ll kill you!”Shereen’s face turned deathly pale. “Nicholas, didn’t you say you’d stay with me even if I had cancer? And now you’re treating me like this? You’re such a hypocrite!”“You actually believed that nonsense?” Nicholas turned to leave, but Shereen clung to his leg.“You’re not allowed to leave. Today is our wedding!”Nicholas kicked her away furiously. “Get lost, you filthy bitch!”Watching this scene reminded me of my past life. Back then, I had also been kicked aside just like this.Suddenly, a stream of red trickled down Shereen’s legs, staining her white wedding dress.Nicholas was so terrified that he turned and ran, but as he rushed down the stage, he tripped and fell hard—only to look up and meet my gaze.His eyes suddenly

I felt a vague sense of unease in my heart and hurried home.As soon as I opened the door, I saw Shereen.Under the dim glow of the streetlamp outside, I noticed she was holding a syringe filled with bright red blood."Theresa, you did this on purpose, didn't you?" Her expression was twisted with malice. "You knew Nicholas would despise me. You wanted to use him to get revenge on me."I took a step back, gripping the doorknob, ready to run, but she noticed my movement."Don't move. If you run, I'll stab this syringe into you. I'm not afraid of dying anyway."She was completely insane.At this hour, my bodyguards had already gone off duty, so there was no one to protect me. I swung my handbag at her with all my strength. Then, I yanked open the door and bolted.I ran as fast as I could, while she chased after me like a madwoman, even throwing the syringe at me. Luckily, I dodged in time.In the end, I rushed to a nearby police station and reported her.Unfortunately, Shereen h

He gazed at me with deep affection. "Theresa, in this lifetime, I’m devoted to you and only you."And I had once told him, "Nicholas, I will stay with you for a lifetime, never leaving, never abandoning you."Snapping back to reality, I looked at the man before me. In the past, just seeing him would fill my heart with overwhelming love, but now, all that remained was hatred."Nicholas, how do you even have the audacity to say these things to me? You betrayed me. You killed me. And yet, you still dare to dream that I’d stay by your side? How disgusting. How pathetic can you be? Get the hell out!" I roared, unleashing all the emotions that had been buried deep inside me.My words left him frozen in place. His eyes turned red in an instant. Tears dripped onto the floor."I'm sorry. I lost control back then—that’s why I cheated. I regret it. I regret it so much. If I could go back just a few months, I swear I wouldn’t have betrayed you.""There is no ‘if’. Nicholas, everything that’s
