Reborn to Watch Them Fall
The mayor was in a car accident and rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.
My boyfriend, Joe Reid, wanted our junior colleague, Melissa Cross, to become the mayor's savior, so he convinced the entire department to delay the surgery while waiting for her. She was late because she had been making her special herbal drink.
The mayor's life was hanging by a thread. If we did not act fast, we'd all be in serious trouble!
I pleaded with them to start the surgery immediately, but all I received was accusations. "You're just jealous because Joe promised Melissa a permanent position. You're trying to ruin her chance to impress the mayor, aren't you?"
I dropped to my knees and begged my colleagues. Only then, reluctantly, did they agree to proceed to the operating room.
I served as lead surgeon with Joe and my colleagues assisting. After twelve hours, we finally saved Mayor Richard Carter's life.
Afterward, our entire department received a massive bonus from the mayor. Both Joe and I were promoted.
Yet on the night of my promotion, Melissa drugged me and had me locked in the hospital morgue's refrigeration unit, where I froze to death.
Meanwhile, Joe led the entire department in lying to the police. "Kimberly Hayes had corrupt medical ethics. She stole credit for saving the mayor's life from Melissa to get promoted, then killed herself out of guilt."
I died with my name destroyed.
Melissa used this opportunity to secure her permanent position and even became department director with Richard's help.
My father believed there was more to my death and fought for justice everywhere, but Joe had him committed to a psychiatric hospital where he was beaten to death by other patients.
Only after death did I learn the truth. This was all a conspiracy between Melissa and Joe.
Melissa was too afraid to be lead surgeon. They delayed everything just to replace me!
When I opened my eyes again, I had been reborn to the day Joe led the entire department in waiting for Melissa before the surgery.
In this life, I would not stop these ungrateful colleagues from destroying themselves.
