Rebirth Into My Second Chance novel Chapter 290

Returning to Crestview Metropolis somehow made everything feel a bit more genuine.

It took me about two weeks to shake off the surreal haze and return to my regular life.

Richard was still in bad shape, confined to the ICU. Max had shown me some pictures, but I hadn’t visited him. Seeing him like that would only deepen the sadness. All I could do was leave it up to fate to decide if he’d pull through.

Back at Evergreen Health Center, Helen informed me that a few doctors with PhDs were interested in joining our team, but their current hospitals weren’t keen on them working part-time elsewhere. Some of these doctors were from renowned institutions outside the state, and we wanted to recruit them to offer more services to our patients. We’d scheduled their consultations to avoid conflict with their hospital hours.

“Your old mentor, Allen Ramsey, has been working at a top hospital out of state,” Helen mentioned. “He wanted to join us too, but his hospital wouldn’t allow it. Their head, Dr. Pearce, even requested a meeting with you to discuss it. If you two are on the same page, he might let Allen come aboard.”

I nodded, acknowledging her report. “Arrange the meeting. I haven’t seen Allen in ages.”

It had been a while since I’d been to Bravenland or met up with my mentor.

“And where’s Kate?” I asked, noticing her absence at the Health Center.

“Since Kinsey’s return, she’s been struggling psychologically. Kate’s likely with her, offering support.”

In a past life, Kate and Tracey were at each other’s throats. But in this life, things were different—they’d become each other’s support system.

“Are you coming with me tonight?” I asked Helen.

“Yes. Dr. Pearce is a known figure in the medical community. He’s been critical of you and Evergreen Health Center’s free treatment policy, even on medical forums,” she said, her voice laced with disdain and frustration.
