Revenge After Death

The bright headlights made my consciousness begin to blur.

“No…” I kept struggling.

I didn’t want to lose this child.

“Stephie! Michael, don’t touch her!”

“Michael, she’s not Stephanie! Don’t do this! You’re scaring me!”

“Stephie, don’t diel I beg you not to leave me!” Michael cried and hugged me. He was begging me n

die.

not to

Yasmin and Rachel’s voices grew fainter.

“Michael, you bastard.”

Rachel continued to curse at him.

I tried desperately to open my eyes, but my consciousness grew increasingly blurrish.

“Save her! Doctor!” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“The child can’t be saved…”

“Save the child at all costs! Make sure both the mother and the child are safe!”

I heard Michael’s voice choked with sobs. He was begging the doctor to save the child in my belly.

What was he doing? Was he regretting it now? What was he thinking? Was he thinking about the scene when the police found my body?

“Please, doctor, save the child. She has already lost one child and can’t lose ti

one. I beg you.”

Michael went crazy. He pleaded with the doctor to save me and the child.

Yasmin cried and tried to stop Michael. “Michael, when will you wake up? She’s not Stephanie. Her name Is Stephany. Even if they look alike, she’s not Stephanie! Wake up!”

Michael ignored Yasmin.

“Michael! What’s so good about Stephanie? You know how evil the real Stephanie is! You clearly despised her!” Yasmin cried out of jealousy. Why did he suddenly change? Why did he seem like a completely different person, like he’d gone mad, since Stephanie’s death?

“Michael, look at yourself now. You’re actually willing to suicide for Stephanie! Now you’re willing to sacrifice your life for another woman who looks like her! Michael, what do you take me for?” Yasmin shouted in jealousy.

I could hear Yasmin crying and questioning Michael.

Suicide?

Would someone like him really commit suicide for me? Stop being ridiculous.

“That lunatic is finally dead! Haha! He’s finally dead!” Yasmin was still mad. She must have heard about Steven falling off the cliff and gone crazy with joy.

“He’s finally dead! Simeon is dead too! The two monsters from the Double Stars Welfare Home are finally dead! They should have died a long time ago! Why do they have talents? Why does God give them special treatment? Such geniuses should die! Everyone should be equal as ordinary people, shouldn’t they?”

“Shut up!”

I heard a slap. It must have been Rachel who couldn’t bear it anymore and slapped Yasmin.

“Rachel! Do you really believe Stephanie is a good person? You’re the only one who sees her as a friend! Let me tell you what she did back in the orphanage when someone admired her red dress and wanted it. She seemed like an innocent angel to everyone, earning praise for her sweetness and charm. But behind closed doors, she’d take a knife, kill the chickens, and smear their blood on the person eyeing her dress,

staining their clothing red. Then she’d casually joke about how she’d help dye their dress red every day since they liked it so much.”

Yasmin trembled as she spoke, as if recalling something terrible. “Stephanie is nothing but a lunatic. She

and Steven are made for each other! Both of them deserve to die!”

“Shut up!” This time it was Michael who shouted at Yasmin.

“She’s not. She’s just sick. Dr. Jones said Stephie was just traumatized when she was a child. He can help

Stephie recover and forget those bad memories.” Michael was actually trying to justify me.

Michael went on murmuring.

“There can be a second time when there is a first. I didn’t believe what Dr. Jones said before. This time I will make sure she stays by my side. I will make her forget those unhappy things and forget everything. with that lunatic. She’ll only remember me and come back to me.”

“She’s not Stephanie!” Yasmin cried.

I started to panic too. I wanted to struggle and wake up.

I was scared… I was scared that my memory loss actually had something to do with Peter. I was scared

of forgetting Steven again,

No. I didn’t want to forget him.

“What nonsense are you talking about? How was Stephie so cool to kill a chicken? Stop spreading

rumors. Let me tell you, even if Stephie really killed chickens and smeared blood, that person deserved it,

Rachel retorted at Yasmin.

“All of you are deceived by her.” Yasmin gritted her teeth.

“Why isn’t anyone deceived by you then? Aren’t you quite the fox? Michael was blind, but why did he suddenly wake up? Do you know what that means? It means you’re not enough, you bitch.”

Chaple

Rachel and Yasmin started fighting.

“Stop it! This is a hospitall” the nurse scolded them.

Soon, it became quiet outside.
