"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take the water." A familiar voice startled me, snapping me back to my senses.When I realized I'd been reborn, the sight of the water bottle and bracelet sent chills down my spine. Those two things from my mother, Agnes White, and Thomas Haynes had been the reason my exam score of 1250 was swapped with Adelia's score of 600.Not only that, my health had taken a turn for the worse after three days. I'd gotten a high fever and would even cough up blood. At the same time, Adelia had suddenly recovered from her stomach cancer. She looked so alive and healthy, unlike how sick she'd been before.I'd held Mom's hand and begged her to take me to the hospital as the pain of the illness wracked my body. Yet, Mom had flung my hand away and snapped, "You're just being dramatic! Do you think I don't know what you're up to, acting all sick right after Adelia recovered?"Then, they had dragged me into the basement and locked me there.After that, Mom h

I chuckled and said in a sarcastic tone, "It's just a cough, Addy. There's nothing to be afraid of. But you have to be careful, Thomas. It'd be a great pity if you contract any other diseases due to your lifestyle."Thomas' expression changed instantly. He had no idea what I was implying, of course. He assumed I was jealous of Adelia and was mocking her.Though he was displeased, he still appeared calm and said gently, "Don't overthink it, Rose. I'm just concerned about you."I quickly cut him off, not wanting to listen to his lies. "We'll be filling in our application forms these few days. Have you two decided which university to enroll in?"Adelia looked happy as she cooed, "Of course I have. I'm going to Dalton University! I want to study at the same university as Thom. After all, only a university as prestigious as that one is fitting for me.""As for some other useless pieces of work…" Adelia shot me a look before she sneered. "There's no use applying for any proper universit

All eyes instantly turned to the bracelet on Jeremy's wrist. Surprised by the sudden attention, Jeremy sneered and waved the bracelet lightly. "Do you mean this? I have Rosalie to thank for this. I was pretty unhappy after checking my results the other day, so she gave me this to cheer me up. I did feel a difference after wearing it."Jeremy's brows immediately knit together. His face grew pale before he began coughing violently. When he checked his palm after the fit subsided, he saw that his hand was stained with blood.Jeremy was shocked by this. He then wrinkled his nose and scoffed, "Damn it! How unlucky is this? Why have I been coughing up blood lately? Weird."A low droning sounded in Adelia's head. Fear overwhelmed her the moment she returned to her senses. "No. That's impossible. This can't be…" she mumbled to herself. Then, she turned around to glare at me. "It's you! You did this, didn't you, Rosalie? That bracelet. You gave that bracelet to Jeremy! You swapped my i

Adelia locked herself in her bedroom from that day onward. She spent her days sobbing and cursing everything and everyone—me, Thomas, and fate itself.Meanwhile, her illness worsened faster than mine had in my previous life. At first, Adelia felt lethargic easily, then started coughing and having a mild fever. Less than a week later, she began having a high fever and quickly developed a severe skin rash.Once, when I left my room to get some water and passed by Adelia's room, I heard her moaning in pain from inside. "I feel terrible, Mom. It hurts to breathe. Everything hurts… Am I going to die, Mom? Please save me. I don't want to die…"Mom was terribly upset by Adelia's condition. She'd wanted to send Adelia to the hospital for treatment, but Adelia had refused again and again. Adelia was scared more people would find out she'd contracted AIDS. She was worried that Thomas would abandon her for good once she was officially diagnosed with the disease.Mom was convinced by Ade

The warehouse was filled with nothing but silence and the smell of fresh blood."H-He's dead… He's dead!" Mom screamed, dropping the knife on the floor as she stared at Jeremy's dead body.Thomas was shocked to the core. He looked at Jeremy's body, then at Mom, who was trembling uncontrollably.His survival instincts screamed at him. He then prepared to run away in fear.Just then, the police arrived. "Police! Nobody moves!""Put down your weapons and raise your hands so we can see them!"Thomas quickly pointed at Mom with all his strength. "It's her! She's the one who orchestrated all this, sir! She's the one who planned this abduction! She forced me to do this. She forced me to!"He was sobbing wildly now, trying to put all the blame on Mom. Perhaps Mom was horrified by the cruel scene that had unfolded right before her earlier or the sudden appearance of the police, she swayed for a moment before collapsing like a deflated balloon.In the end, the police took us all to t
