Rebirth Into My Second Chance

Just as I was about to reveal that I'm the boss, Max walked in through the door, silhouetted against the light.

His expression was hidden, but his very presence was enough to strike fear in anyone from Crestview Metropolis.

His entourage of bodyguards trailing behind him was no joke either.

After all, he wasn't dubbed the "Grim Reaper of Crestview Metropolis" for nothing.

Yet, the guy with the gold chain nonchalantly sat in his chair, legs crossed arrogantly, a toothpick dangling from his lips as if he didn't have a care in the world.

"I run Evergreen Health Center. You got a problem with that?"

He gave Max a once-over, his disdain palpable. "I know you've got a stake in Evergreen Health Center, but someone else calls the shots there."

By now, Max had made his way to my side. It had been half a year since I last saw him. I thought I would be overwhelmed by sadness, reminded of the pain from our past lives.

But the last memory I had of him was his pale, injured face.

Today, he looked vibrant, each step he took resonated with my heart.

"Like what you see?"

Suddenly, he turned and gently pinched my chin. "It's been a while. I should take a good look at you."

He sure knew how to hold a grudge.

I smiled faintly, choosing not to speak.

Catching on to the situation, the gold-chain guy smartly stood up. "You should've just said you're the top doc and boss lady of Evergreen Health Center. Would've saved me the misunderstanding, almost stepped out of line here."

His voice trailed from behind Max. I peeked around Max, "I'm not the best, nor the boss. Just a doctor, that's accurate. How should I have answered you?"

The man nodded, bowing and

scraping, "Could the divine doctor

possibly see my master? She's quite pampered, won't set foot in a hospital, but her heart's been

troubling her. I'm worried abox el.ne

comfort, so I had to come to you."

I frowned slightly, turning to Max. "Mr. Hilton, do you know who he's talking about? Nothing usually escapes Mr. Hilton's notice."

Max leaned in closer. "You avoid me for half a year, and now you ask for favors with that attitude?"

I really wanted to hit him.

But he was still a good person, whispering so only the two of us could hear, "The person who took your finger in your past life."

My eyes widened in shock as I looked at him.

"What did you find out in my past life?"

But he chose to keep it a mystery, driving me crazy with curiosity.

I grabbed his wrist, pulling him towards the back room.

"What's this supposed to mean, grabbing my hand only to let go? Claire Floyd, am I really worth so little to you?"

I knew he was just teasing me.

He loves me, or else he wouldn't

sneak in every night to kiss my forehead as I slept. I found out because pretended to sleep once and felt a kiss on my forehead, leading me to install a camera in my room, which revealed it was Max.

I cornered him against the wall, mimicking his assertive demeanor, pinching his chin and forcing his head down. "Max, when you sneak in to see me every night, don't you feel worthless?"

He seemed taken aback, not expecting me to know.

But he was used to taking control, quickly reversing our positions and pinning me against the wall. Holding my chin, he forced me to look at him.

Before I could curse him out, his kiss overwhelmed me, passionate and unyielding.
