Chapter 1

"Hannie, don't forget to feed Evie's dog today."Trevor Hayes' voice came through the phone—the voice I would never forget.I stood frozen, unable to believe what I was seeing.Outside the window, "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" played faintly, as if the holidays refused to end.I rushed to the mirror. My skin was smooth again, and the scar was completely gone.Then, it hit me. I, Hannah Shaw, had come back to life."Hannie, are you still there?" Trevor asked, raising his voice when I didn't answer."I'm not feeling well today. I can't make it. Tell her to find someone else," I said flatly.Trevor sounded annoyed. "No way! Evie went home for the holidays. If you don't go, Mojo will starve. You always feed stray cats. What's the big deal about a dog?"I let out a cold laugh. "A dog bit me when I was a kid. I'm afraid of dogs, so I'm not going. Tell her to find someone online.""No. Evie lives alone. She can't just let a stranger into her home. You're a woman, too. How can you

Chapter 2

I sat in the car, gripping the steering wheel as memories from my past life flashed through my mind.When I started dating Trevor, I'd known about his childhood friend, Evelyn Summers. But he always kept his distance from her, so I never thought much of it.In my past life, Evelyn and her family went on vacation to Hanoe Island and left her dog, Mojo, with Trevor.But when Trevor returned to his hometown with his father to spend Christmas with his grandparents, the job ended up falling on me.Evelyn looked delicate and sweet, so I thought her dog would be small and docile.But when I got to her house and turned the knob, the door burst open with a huge force, knocking me backward onto the floor.Before I could get up, a massive pit bull lunged at me, pinning me down as its teeth sank into my flesh. Pain surged through me as my flesh was torn away. I could only scream and fight to get free.Just then, a neighbor heard my screams. He rushed over with a knife and struck the dog acr

Chapter 3

I drove Lydia to the mall. By the time we came out, night had already fallen.Meanwhile, Evelyn checked her home cameras and saw that I still hadn't shown up to feed the dog. She assumed I had bailed and hurried to call Trevor.I was about to drive Lydia home when Trevor's name lit up my screen. I put the call on speaker so she could hear."Hannie, didn't you say you'd feed Evelyn's dog? Did you forget?"I pretended to be surprised. "Oh, yeah! I would've forgotten if you hadn't called. I'll go now."Trevor grunted. "Hurry up, then. Don't drag it out."After I hung up, I gave Lydia an apologetic look. "Sorry, Mrs. Hayes. Evelyn asked me to feed her dog, but I forgot. How about we stop by her place first, then I'll take you home?"Lydia had practically watched Evelyn grow up, so she cared for her far more than she ever did for me. When she heard we were going to Evelyn's place, she agreed without a second thought.All that shopping finally paid off. I had managed to get her to co

Once the timing was right, I finally showed up. I forced out a few tears and rode with the ambulance to the hospital.I stayed there all night, taking care of things.My parents came as soon as they heard about the attack and only relaxed when they saw I was fine.Lydia's surgery took hours. When they wheeled her out, she was wrapped in bandages from head to toe with only her eyes showing.Evelyn flew back from Hanoe Island that same day, and Trevor rushed back from his hometown.When they met, their faces could barely conceal their excitement.The blood on the hallway floor hadn't even been cleaned yet, so they could easily imagine how badly I must be hurt.They hurried to the hospital. Before they reached the ward, they ran into my parents in the hallway.Trevor instantly put on a somber expression. "Is Hannie... Is she alright?"I had already briefed my parents. They didn't say much and just patted his shoulder. "Go see her."Trevor and Evelyn went into the ward and saw a

Trevor opened his mouth, but the words caught in his throat. My voice hit him like a freeze spell. He and Evelyn could barely move.He stared blankly ahead, as if he couldn't believe what he'd heard. He'd rather have seen a ghost.Evelyn turned around. The moment she saw me standing there, her knees gave out, and she collapsed to the floor."Why are you here?" she asked, her voice trembling. Her eyes darted between me and the bandaged woman in the bed.I smiled. "What's wrong, Evelyn? Why can't I be here?"Trevor grabbed my hand and stared at my face like he could see straight through me. "You're fine? How can that be?" he blurted out exactly what was on his mind.I tilted my head. "What? Were you hoping I wasn't?"Realizing he had slipped up, he forced out a smile. "I heard Mojo attacked someone, so I panicked. I thought it was you. I'm so glad you're alright!""Maybe I just got lucky. The dog went for her instead of me," I said, pointing at Lydia on the bed. "When she came

Chapter 6

Hearing the familiar name, Trevor burst out, "What?"The nurse jumped at his shout. "Are you a family member?"He ignored her question and snapped, "What did you say her name was?""Lydia Barker," the nurse said. "It's on the card at the foot of the bed. Can't you see?"Trevor lunged to the foot of the bed and saw his mother's name on the card."Mom! Is that you? Mom!"He leaned over her as if he needed one more confirmation.Evelyn was stunned. "How could it be your mom? That makes no sense!"Things had spun out of hand and were heading in a direction they couldn't control.Then, she shot me a glance. "Hannah, you did this on purpose! Why was she the one who got hurt?"She tried to shift the blame onto me.I dabbed at the corner of my eye. "I took Mrs. Hayes to the mall. On the way back, I got the call to feed the dog, so we stopped by together. I didn't expect Mojo to be that aggressive. He lunged straight at her.""Why didn't you say that earlier?" Trevor shouted, unrave

Chapter 7

I turned to leave, feeling a wave of relief. I had finally shaken off the nightmare of my past life. None of this had anything to do with me anymore.Evelyn heard what I said and forgot all about the bruises on her face. She grabbed Trevor's hand, panicked. "Trevor, what do we do? Think of something!"Trevor's mind was in chaos. He had no idea what to do. Run for it? That would only make it worse.Lydia was the key. As long as she didn't press charges, they might just get away with it.Trevor rushed to the bedside. "Mom, don't blame Evie! This has nothing to do with her! It's all Hannah's fault!"Evelyn dropped to her knees, sobbing as she begged, "Mrs. Hayes, please forgive me! I was wrong! You've watched me grow up! I was really wrong!"No matter how much they pleaded, it was useless.They'd gone too far. Lydia was still reeling from what they'd said earlier, her eyes welling with tears.While they were still pleading, Trevor suddenly felt a hard kick in the back. He looked u

Chapter 8

I had already broken up with Trevor, so I went straight to the place we shared and started packing.When Trevor came home, the place was a mess, and he heard noises coming from the bedroom. Thinking a thief had broken in, he rushed inside, only to find me and the movers packing up the place."Put that down! That's mine!" he shouted when he saw me pull a shirt from the closet.Everyone turned to look at him, but I ignored him and stuffed the shirt into a trash bag."Hannah, that's my shirt! You have no right to toss it!" he snapped.I rolled my eyes. "What, did a dog chew on your brain? I bought that shirt, so I can do whatever I want with it. Everything I paid for is coming with me. The lease is in my name, and I've already told the landlord I'm ending it. You've got three days to pack up."I was an only child, and my parents ran a business, so I'd always covered most of the expenses when we were dating. Maybe that was what warped Trevor's thinking and made him decide to squeeze

Chapter 9

Lydia stayed in the hospital for two months before the doctors finally began removing the bandages. Her face looked even worse than mine had in my past life, as if acid had melted it away, leaving not a single inch unscarred.I showed up with gifts, ready to surprise her.After everything that had happened, Lydia finally saw Trevor and Evelyn for who they really were, so she treated me a little kinder.I sat by the bed and peeled an apple. She turned her head so I wouldn't see her face."Mrs. Hayes, you need to move on," I said softly. "Even if Evelyn doesn't get punished now, she'll get what she deserves eventually."Lydia snapped her head toward me. "What do you mean? The police aren't charging her?""You didn't know?""Of course, I didn't know! No one has called me for days. What's going on?"I hesitated. "Maybe I shouldn't be the one to say it. Let Trevor tell you himself."Her expression twisted. She already sensed something was wrong. She grabbed my hand and yelled, "Tel

Chapter 10

After Lydia threw him out of the hospital, Trevor went home and received some good news—Evelyn was pregnant."When your parents know I'm pregnant, they'll forgive us," Evelyn said.Evelyn was right. When Patrick learned they had secretly married, he was furious and called Trevor an ungrateful son. But as soon as he heard about the pregnancy, his face lit up.Since he wasn't the one bitten by the dog, it was easy for him to forgive Evelyn. After all, people only felt harmed when it was their own wounds.He even went to the hospital to persuade Lydia to let it go, painting a warm picture of a happy family as if nothing had ever happened.Every word cut deep. It meant that Lydia would have to remember that nightmare again every time she saw Evelyn. But since everyone kept urging her to move on, all she could do was swallow her pain and anger.One afternoon, I was shopping at the mall when I spotted Evelyn in a baby store, picking out baby products.Evelyn saw me and walked over.
