Chapter 1

I was already severely injured. Wyatt Clark, my fiance, pushed me away with so much force that I lost my balance. I fell hard onto the floor in the hospital hallway. I heard the sound of skin and flesh tearing across my back, along with my short, muffled groan. I knew then that the glass shard stuck in my back had already sunk all the way in.I curled up on the floor, squinting against the harsh lights as everything in front of me began to spin. "P-Please help me…"I saw one of the nurses stand up from the nurses' station, look at me, and then sit back down. "P-Please help me up and get me a doctor…"They ignored me completely. They were either busy organizing patient records or had turned away, scrolling through their phones without a care."P-Please—""Please get up on your own and take a seat in the waiting area for now, Ms. Johnson."It was then that one of the nurses spoke up, sounding rather annoyed. "Dr. Johnson has stressed repeatedly that anyone who tries to curry favo

Maeve kept knocking for a full five minutes before the door finally opened. Mom walked out, her expression grim, and asked, "Why are you making such a scene out here, Maeve?"Maeve nervously pointed at me, lying on my side on the floor, and stammered, "I-I think Ms. Johnson is suffering from internal bleeding, Dr. Johnson!" Mom frowned slightly as she walked over and crouched beside me. She casually lifted my shirt to look at my back and said, "There is a wound, but it is only superficial."She got to her feet and dusted off her hands, barely hiding her impatience. "What did they even teach you in nursing school, Maeve? That kind of abrasion can look frightening, but it probably just damaged a few capillaries and caused some extra bleeding. "You're a nurse, for goodness' sake! How can you make a fuss along with the people in the waiting area, especially as someone trained in such situations?"Maeve was so panicked that her face flushed. "There really is something hard under ther

Chapter 3

Mom raised me on her own after the divorce. I had been sickly since I was young, so for my sake, Mom, a highly skilled surgeon, took a position as an assistant in the pediatric department.Wyatt lived next door and had always looked out for me. Once, I suddenly came down with a high fever while Mom was working the night shift, and Wyatt insisted on taking care of me all night, refusing to leave no matter what anyone said.He even turned down offers from two of the top universities in the country to pursue medicine, becoming Mom's hand-picked protege. He had even promised me back then, "I want to take care of you for the rest of my life, Gloria!"When did things start to change?It must have started around the time Mom adopted my roommate, Wanda. She was fair and beautiful, looking so frail that she seemed like she could fall over at any moment. But she always forced herself to appear strong and said through gritted teeth, "I'm fine!"Mom initially said, "Wanda has no parents and i

Chapter 4

During the premarital checkup a week earlier, I was diagnosed with an unexplained coagulation disorder. I took my medical report to Mom, but before I could even speak, Wanda called and took her away. "Is your low blood sugar acting up, Wanda? It's going to be alright! I'll be right there this instant!"She grabbed her handbag and walked right by me without looking back. "You can just leave it in the drawer! I'll get to it when I come back!"When I saw Mom's puzzled expression, I was certain that the medical report was still lying in the drawer, completely untouched. Struggling to catch my breath, I explained weakly, "I-I have a coagulation disorder, Mom… I can't donate my blood…"Mom was momentarily stunned. She then reached out and touched my clothes before sneering. "Your blood on the clothes is completely dry! What do you mean you have a coagulation disorder? You're really coming up with the wildest excuses, aren't you?""It's because of the glass—"Mom cut me off sharply, her

Chapter 5

I no longer felt suffocated as the unbearable pain in my back faded away, leaving my body lighter than it had ever been. I floated aimlessly in midair, looking down to see a body identical to mine lying on the hospital bed in the corner.It lay motionless in the shadows with its head turned toward the wall, ghastly pale with deathly purple lips. There wasn't a trace of life left in it.I looked at my body in silence and let out a bitter laugh. It turned out that this was what it felt like to die.In the center of the brightly lit trauma room, Wanda leaned comfortably against Mom, her face rosy and her eyes sparkling. Mom gently raised Wanda's bandaged arm and stroked it. "It's going to be alright, Wanda. I was very careful during the suturing, so it'll heal up in no time!"Wyatt sorted through the medical instruments on the tray nearby, looking tenderly at Wanda now and then.It was a sight that suddenly overlapped with a memory from my past—except this time, the person being ca

Wyatt stood there, hesitating for a moment, then took a step toward me. He had barely taken a step when a panicked shout came from behind. "What's the matter, Wanda?"Wanda closed her eyes and went limp, collapsing onto the hospital bed.Wyatt instantly turned around and hurried back to Wanda, quickly pulling her into his arms.Wanda slowly fluttered her eyes open, clutching Wyatt's sleeve weakly as tears welled up. "Those surgical scissors and clamps are so terrifying, Wyatt… Please stay by my side…"She glanced over Wyatt's shoulder and called out to me. "I'm really frightened, Gloria. I'm only asking Wyatt to stay with me for a while, so please don't be mad at me…"Wyatt turned to look at me, following her gaze. He then said softly, "Wanda's treatment won't take long, Gloria. I'll come over as soon as I can, so just wait a little longer."I remained motionless in the corner while Wanda bit her lower lip, looking aggrieved as tears streamed down her face.Wyatt's eyes flashed

Chapter 7

Mom felt a terrifying coldness and rigidity beneath her fingertips. She turned completely pale, her pupils shrinking in terror. "P-Please don't scare me, Gloria…"She instinctively pushed me again, this time with more force.In the end, my rigid body, already lying on just half of the bed, was knocked over the edge and hit the floor with a dull thud, leaving me lying face-up. My face had already gone pale and bluish—with my eyes slightly open—carrying a look of confusion and pain, while the blood at the corners of my mouth had dried and darkened.A blood-curdling shriek pierced through the trauma room, and Mom's legs gave out before passing out on the spot.That commotion finally caught Wyatt's attention. He hurried over, but the moment he saw the face on the floor, he was dumbstruck. He collapsed to his knees with a thud and reached out two trembling fingers to feel for my carotid pulse.He froze in place as he felt the coldness and complete stillness beneath his fingertips, hi

Chapter 8

Just a few minutes later, the trauma room door was pushed open. Dr. Lister came in dressed as a janitor, holding a mop.Mom lunged at her as soon as she saw her, gripping her collar tightly. "What the hell happened to Gloria's medical exam results? Why did she have a coagulation disorder?"Dr. Lister glanced at my blood-soaked body, a flicker of shock and sympathy crossing her eyes. She then sneered at Mom and said, "Gloria's premarital checkup did show that she had contracted a rare blood-borne virus that triggered a coagulation disorder, Dr. Johnson. "It's not some incurable disease, though. If treated early, even a surgeon of your caliber would only need to prescribe a few medications to deal with it."She looked down at Mom condescendingly. "What's the matter, Dr. Johnson? You're not going to tell me that it's been this long and you still had no idea what was going on with your own daughter, right?"Mom trembled violently as she seemed to remember the countless times I had tr

Chapter 9

It turned out that among the patients waiting in the ER, there happened to be an informant for a local news reporter. He grew impatient after waiting outside for a long time, so he leaned close to the trauma room door, wanting to hear what was happening inside. He had expected to hear the calm, orderly sounds of a medical team at work, but all he heard was the heated arguments—catching fragmented words like "dead", "forged", and "get back at us". His instincts, honed by years on the beat, kicked in. He instantly suspected that the hospital was covering up a major medical malpractice case and tipped off his contact.In that instant, the reporters rushed over, arriving at the same time as the traffic police handling the accident follow-up.The traffic officer in charge looked around the trauma room before his gaze landed on my body. He furrowed his brows slightly and asked, "How did Gloria die from her injuries? Didn't the paramedic on the scene mark her as a critical patient? How

Chapter 10

Everyone was dumbstruck, including me, who was hovering in midair.I wasn't oblivious to how much Wyatt favored Wanda. But I had just stubbornly convinced myself that it was nothing more than brotherly affection.Mom's face was flushed with anger, her outstretched finger trembling uncontrollably as she pointed at Wanda. "I treated you like my own daughter! I shared everything of Gloria's equally with you! I never mistreated you! If you had a problem with me, you should have come after me! Why did you have to go after Gloria?"Wanda's face twisted into a mask of unhinged fury. "You never mistreated me? You were giving me handouts! Why was I dumped at the public restroom the moment I was born, left to beg for scraps and get sneered at by everyone? "Gloria was dumped by her father too! Why did she get a loving mother and everything she ever wanted on a silver platter?"She pointed at my body lying motionless on the floor and continued, "Do you remember the first time we met? She swe
