All Chapters of After My Death, I Became A Genius: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

SAVANNA (VERONICA)Medicines Dr. Johnson prescribed needed to be prepared on-site, so I sent Mom and Ethan back to the hotel first and stayed behind to wait.Almost an hour later, the pharmacy finally called my name."The full course is ready," the pharmacist said, sliding the bag across the counter.I checked it once. The entire month's medicine I had taken, and everything looked fine.Without a word, I took the bag.By the time I stepped out of the clinic pharmacy, the sun was on top of my head.Ready to grab a cab, when..."Please, someone call the emergency!" A voice shrieked, catching my attention.A frown creased my brows, as I stepped forward to see.Near the mall's main entrance, I saw an elderly man collapsed on the ground, his face twisted in pain.Beside him, a young man kept shouting for help, his voice cracking as he looked around wildly."Sir, can you hear me?!" He said urgently, leaning over him, patting his cheeks.People passed by without stopping. A few slowed down,

SAVANNA (VERONICA)I noticed the sound of footsteps behind me. They were distinct and unhurried.I didn't need to turn for that.The years of perfecting my experiences spoke volumes about his personality just by his footsteps.Whoever he is, he's not the type to announce himself. His presence itself does it.I stayed where I was, relaxed against the sofa.I let my gaze lower slightly, and it was immediately drawn to the shadow cast by his imposing figure."Well, a surprise indeed." George let out a warm laugh, stepping forward."Didn't expect to see you here of all places. What brought you here though? Just visiting me, or did you finally track down the person you've been looking for?""I had a meeting nearby," the man's reply was smooth. "Figured I'd stop in and say hello."His deep baritone settled in the place as though he belonged here.My brow lifted slightly.Yeah... just from the tone... impressive."If I remember right, your granddaughter's birthday is next week," he said agai

SAVANNA (VERONICA)Victor's lips, however, curved into a slow, easy smile. It didn't quite reach his eyes but carried no offense either."Fair enough," he said, his voice smooth. "That was on me. I overstepped."Overstepped?I couldn't help but narrow my gaze inwardly.You weren't just overstepping. You were testing how far you could go, Mr. Abraham.I didn't say it out loud, though. Instead, I rose from my seat, brushing my fingers lightly along the edge of the table as I straightened."I'll skip lunch today, Mr. Simon," I said politely, but the edge of my tone held a note of finality. "We can do this another time.""But lunch is practically ready," George added quickly, rising from his seat as well.There was a clear reluctance in his voice now, like he wasn't ready to let the moment end. "Are you in a hurry to get back to Norvale?""Mm," I responded lightly, without adding any further explanation.The sole reason I had accepted George's cordial invitation was because of his identit

SAVANNA (VERONICA)I had no interest in being involved with people that did not matter at the moment."Hey, it's me. Last time in Norvale, you won five dollars from me, remember?" He shouted, pointing at his sorry face as though it was the easiest thing to recognize.His voice carried cleanly into the car, despite the closed window."Five million dollars! Did you forget!?" he shouted again from outside, still leaning out of his Lamborghini like he couldn't believe I was actually ignoring him.The assistant in the driver's seat turned his head slightly, eyes widening in disbelief."Five million...?" he gasped under his breath, then glanced back at me through the rearview mirror, clearly waiting for some kind of reaction.Sadly for him, I didn't give any, just a quiet, indifferent stillness as I kept my gaze forward.Danny didn't seem willing to let it go.With a quick jerk of the steering wheel, he reversed his Lamborghini as he tried to close the gap, ignoring the sharp and impatient

SAVANNA (VERONICA)The first exam was Language Arts.The question papers were distributed, and the examination started. I calmly picked up my pen and began to answer the questions, unbothered by others.After I finished the last question, I glanced over the reading and writing section and could not help but frown.What a nuisance. I thought.Finally, amidst the invigilator's astonishment and heads shaking in disbelief, I handed in my paper early.Once I stepped out of the school gate, reporters came surging forward to interview."Miss, did you finish the exam already?""Was the paper too easy?"...The questions were almost thrown like bullets in my direction.I directly avoided them and noticed Ethan standing under the shade of a tree not too far away.Noticing me, he walked briskly towards me under the scorching sun."D-did you tu-rn in the p-paper early?" he inquired, his tone shivering with nervousness he was trying to swallow hard."Yes.""You didn't go back?" I took note of his f
