All Chapters of Take What You Want: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I looked around in amazement at the familiar mall layout and the familiar Christmas tree standing in the center, just like in my previous life. The towering 30-foot Christmas tree was covered with decorative gift boxes that sparkled enticingly under the lights.I took a deep breath, overwhelmed by an indescribable shock. I had actually been reborn, returned to the very day I died so horribly in my previous life.My mother-in-law, Paula Sutton, turned to look at my husband, Oliver Canning, who was beside her, her voice filled with urgency and excitement. "Oli, look at these gift boxes! They're wrapped so nicely. There must be good stuff inside!"Paula stood in front of the Christmas tree with the same greedy expression as in my previous life, her eyes fixed on those gift boxes as if she could already see the treasures hidden inside.Meanwhile, eight months pregnant, I stood there struggling with heavy grocery bags Paula and Oliver had shoved into my hands after their shopping spree.

Screams, curses, and arguments echoed as the mall descended into chaos.I stood outside the crowd, watching it all with a heart full of helplessness and sadness. I knew this was all caused by greed and vanity. But there was nothing I could do aside from calling the police.Paula and Oliver fought desperately for gift boxes in the crowd, and their figures could hardly be seen amid the chaos. They had completely lost their minds, as if they'd forgotten everything around them.Suddenly, Paula spotted me. Her eyes widened with fury as she ran toward me. "What are you standing there for? Get over here and help! You're completely useless!"Looking at Paula's twisted face, I felt a wave of strong disgust rise in my heart. "I can barely move. If you want to grab things, do it yourselves."The moment I finished speaking, Paula raised her hand and slapped me hard across the face. "You worthless burden! Carrying a girl and still acting all precious!"When I was eight months pregnant, I was

The Black Widow spider bit down hard on Paula's hand, causing her to let out a sharp scream of pain that cut through the chaotic noise of the mall."Oh my God, a spider bit me!"Paula instinctively shook her hand, but the spider flew off and landed on Oliver's foot. He couldn't escape either and was also pierced by the Black Widow's venomous fangs, making him hiss in pain."Ouch, that hurts like hell!" Paula shouted loudly. I looked up and saw her hand turning black at a visible speed, with dark purple bruising spreading rapidly."Mom, is this serious?" Oliver frowned, panic flashing across his face."It's fine. It's just a spider," Paula replied.I smiled coldly. This wasn't just any ordinary spider. It was one of the most venomous spiders in existence.Oliver also thought it was nothing and looked back at the people still grabbing gift boxes, greed flickering in his eyes again."Actually, Mom, maybe getting bitten by a spider took away our bad luck. Let's go grab more boxes.

When Oliver saw this, his eyes widened instantly, his face full of shock as his voice cracked. "Mom, your nose is bleeding! Are you alright?"He quickly reached out to support Paula, frantically trying to find something to stop the bleeding. Paula still didn't take it seriously, wiping the blood with her hand and saying carelessly, "What's the big deal? I've just been run down lately. It's nothing serious."Oliver frowned, feeling panicked inside. But he still listened to Paula and said uncertainly, "Mom, are you sure it's just that? It's not from the spider, is it?"Before he could finish speaking, he felt warmth in his nose. Blood began flowing from his nostrils as well.Now Paula started to panic, her voice shaking. "Oli, why is your nose bleeding too?"Oliver wiped his nose with his sleeve, but the blood kept flowing. He was overtaken by fear. "Mom, what if it really is venom from that Black Widow?"When Paula heard this, terror flashed across her face, but she stayed stubbor

When I heard this, I realized that as time ticked by, their condition would only get more critical. If they were transferred to another hospital now, they definitely wouldn't make it in time.I quickly grabbed Paula and tried to reason with her. "Paula, please stop making a scene. Time is running out. If we delay any longer, you will die for real!"But Paula acted like she'd lost her mind, shoving me away forcefully. "Get away from me! Stop pretending to care. This is all your fault! If you hadn't insisted on bringing us to the hospital, we wouldn't have been in this mess!"I stumbled and nearly fell to the ground. Fortunately, a young nurse nearby reacted quickly and caught me, preventing my fall.Paula showed no restraint and continued her tantrum. "This hospital owes me answers! Look how much time you've wasted! If I'm left disabled, that's on you."You're going to compensate us, and my son and I will need that money to survive. I want a million dollars, or I won't let this sli
