Rebirth Into My Second Chance novel Chapter 304

We got the girl to the hospital, but because she and her mother were so dirty, no doctor or nurse was willing to treat them.

“I’m a doctor. I will take full responsibility. Here’s money. Please, save her.”

When I took out a wad of cash, they looked at my well-made clothes and the amount of money I was carrying, and finally arranged for a surgical suite with a doctor and nurses.

I leaned against the wall outside the operating room. It struck me then how easily I trusted people. I had thought Lily was a good person, but she was worse than Harriet.

Harriet’s evil was out in the open, while Lily’s was a secret poison that no one could see.

The hospital's large screens were broadcasting one of Lily’s impassioned speeches. “We will bridge the gap between rich and poor. The prosperous will lead the way for others to follow, ensuring that the people across the Saltmere River can all enjoy a good meal.”

A good meal of candy?

The footage showed her distributing supplies, but it was carefully filmed to avoid showing what the supplies actually were.

It was all for show.

After what felt like an eternity, the light above the operating room door went out, and the doctor emerged, smiling. “I didn’t realize you had doctors with such advanced techniques over there. The sutures are excellent and were done just in time. She should be fine after a few days of observation in the hospital.”

The girl’s mother looked at me and said something to the doctor that I didn’t understand.

The doctor approached me, extending a hand to shake, but then retracted it when he saw the bloodstains on my hands.

“Impressive. Which medical school did you graduate from?”

“I haven’t graduated yet.”

It was true. My schooling was still incomplete. So much had happened in the past year that I was no longer the person who could sit peacefully in a classroom.

The doctor seemed to look me up and down with a hint of disdain before turning and walking away.
