The night before my grandmother's surgery, I dragged my adoptive father into the study to review medical research all night long. Why? Because in my past life, when Grandma had a heart attack, the "real" daughter, my sister, demanded to take over my position as lead surgeon and perform the heart transplant herself. Considering she had only attended nursing school for three years, I refused. She felt humiliated. To prove herself, she impersonated me and operated on Grandma. The next day, Grandma died on the table from severe rejection and ruptured blood vessels. Afterward, she threw herself into our father's arms, sobbing: "Daddy, I never thought Emily would be so afraid of me stealing her spotlight that she'd break hospital protocol and operate on Grandma in the middle of the night!" Before I could explain, my adoptive mother jumped in. "Emily, you murderer! Just because Grandma supported Chloe doing the surgery, you sabotaged it and killed her!" Enraged, my father pushed me out of a 36th-story window. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day Chloe demanded to perform Grandma's surgery. 1. "Emily, Grandma's surgery is so important. Just let me do it." "Your skills aren't that great anyway. If something happens to Grandma on the operating table, can you take responsibility?" Chloe held onto Grandma's arm, looking at me with triumph in her eyes. Hearing that familiar voice, I realized I had been reborn to the day before the surgery. Thinking of the feeling of falling from a great height in my past life, I couldn't help but shiver. "No, absolutely not." Before I could finish, a cup smashed against my forehead. "Do you have a say here?! Chloe is the true daughter of the Carter family. She's filial and wants to operate on her grandmother. What's wrong with that?" "Don't think just because you occupy Chloe's place, you're really a Carter." My adoptive mother, Mrs. Carter, sat elegantly on the sofa, not even bothering to look at me. Grandma was even more furious. "Chloe has been away from us since she was little, yet she still became a fine doctor. Much better than you." "Now that my own granddaughter wants to operate on me, what right does an outsider like you have to speak!" Chloe looked aggrieved. "Emily, you only got to be Chief Resident because of the Carter family name. You don't have real talent." "Grandma is so sick. I've found a new surgical plan. Don't delay Grandma's treatment just because of your petty jealousy." I looked at the three of them with anger. I had intended to stop Chloe, but it was clear they wouldn't believe a word I said. I clenched my fists. 2. In my past life, as soon as Chloe was found and brought home, she volunteered to replace me as the surgeon when she learned Grandma needed an operation. I secretly investigated and found out Chloe had only attended nursing school for three years and almost didn't graduate due to truancy and fighting. For the sake of the family's reputation and Grandma's life, I refused without a second thought. Chloe thought I was greedy for the inheritance and argued with me before taking Grandma to the hospital herself. I assumed they would listen to medical advice, so I didn't tell my father. The next day, I arrived at the hospital on time. But at the operating room door, my father slapped me across the face. "You ungrateful wretch! Your grandmother is dead. Are you happy now?" Before I could process this, Chloe threw herself into his arms. "Daddy, I never thought Emily would be so afraid of me taking her position that she'd operate on Grandma in secret last night!" "She didn't even tell us the surgery failed. Grandma didn't even get to see you one last time." I couldn't believe it. Grandma never liked me because I was a girl, often making me kneel in the family chapel. After Chloe returned, she hated me even more. If it weren't for the fact that she raised my father alone, and the surgery was highly complex, I wouldn't have taken the case. But I had slept all night. I hadn't operated on anyone. Before I could defend myself, Mrs. Carter started accusing me. "Emily, I can't believe you'd murder your grandmother just because she was strict with you." "You're an animal! Is this how you repay us for raising you?" My father, eyes bulging with rage, strangled me. "Die!" Choked to the brink of unconsciousness, I was then thrown out the window. After death, I learned the truth. Chloe, fearing I would succeed, convinced Grandma and Mom to let her operate early. When she botched it, she blamed me. My father, unable to accept his mother's death, hated me. After killing me, the police arrived. My father was sentenced to death, and the family fortune fell into the hands of Chloe and her mother. And the reason Chloe was so desperate to operate? She wasn't the real daughter! She wanted to eliminate both of us before the truth came out. None of them were innocent. In this life, I would make them pay in blood. 3. I took a deep breath and tried one last time, for the sake of my professional ethics. "Chloe has no experience. She's lying." "If you do this surgery properly, you can live for another three years." Grandma sneered. "With your half-baked skills, you dare to operate on me? Just you wait." Leaving that threat, the three of them left for the hospital. It was late. They wanted to do the surgery before my father came home and stopped them. Watching them leave, a glint appeared in my eyes. If Chloe wants to impersonate me, I'll spend the entire night with my father. Let's see how she explains that! I went upstairs, grabbed some files, and headed to my father's study. My father, Robert Carter, was deeply devoted to his mother. He wouldn't be sleeping tonight. Seeing me, his face darkened. "Why aren't you asleep? Your grandmother's surgery is tomorrow. You need to be rested!" I acted startled and showed him the report. "Dad, the hospital just sent over Grandma's latest test results. I wanted you to see them." Robert's expression softened. "Dad, the report shows Grandma's condition is excellent. She can come home a week after the surgery." "Then we can all be together. She'll be so happy." Robert couldn't hide his joy. He grabbed my shoulders, tears in his eyes. "That's wonderful. Your grandmother had a hard life. If you cure her, you're the hero of this family." He pulled me into the study. "Tell me everything. Are there any other changes?" I smiled inwardly. The happier he is now, the angrier he'll be tomorrow when he learns the truth. Nothing fuels rage like destroyed hope. I will return every bit of pain Chloe caused me. Robert asked about every data point on the report. He held my hand earnestly. "Emily, you're a good child. If you cure Grandma, I won't mistreat you." "You'll have an equal share with Chloe. Half the company shares will be yours." I shook my head shyly. "Dad, saving Grandma is enough for me." "Chloe just came back. She's the real daughter. Don't be too good to me." Robert looked thoughtful but didn't press further. "Dad, it's about time. Let's go to the hospital so I can prepare." Robert nodded and had the driver take us. I changed into my scrubs. As I reached the ward door, a figure rushed at me. "You bitch! You killed Grandma!" 4. The commotion drew a crowd. Chloe looked at the gathering audience with a flash of satisfaction. She pointed at me, crying pitifully. "Emily, I never thought you could be so vicious. Just because Mom and Dad found out you aren't their biological daughter and brought me back, you killed Grandma?" "Grandma trusted you, but you were afraid I found a better surgical plan, so you operated secretly and killed her!" Chloe's hysterical crying won her sympathy. People started whispering. "She looks like a doctor, but she killed her own grandmother!" "Rich family drama. Who knows what's true." Just then, Robert, who had been dealing with a call in the car, arrived. "What's going on here?" Chloe threw herself into his arms. "Daddy! Emily was afraid I'd take her job, so she violated protocol and operated on Grandma last night!" "She failed and didn't tell anyone. Grandma died without seeing you." "Grandma was crying for you at the end. Emily is evil!" Robert shook, his face pale. "Impossible. She was fine yesterday." "Chloe, don't talk nonsense!" Just then, Mrs. Carter wheeled a gurney out. "Honey, come look. Mom died so miserably." "Chloe told me she found a better plan, but Emily, that vicious girl, operated early to stop her." "If she wasn't afraid of losing her status, Mom wouldn't have died on the table from massive hemorrhaging." She lifted the white sheet. A pale, stiff face was revealed. Robert's eyes reddened. He threw himself at the bed, hands trembling as he pulled the sheet further down. "Mom... I brought Emily. She said you'd live a long time..." He froze. Grandma's chest was a mess of blood and sutures. Robert clenched his fists until they cracked. Chloe added fuel to the fire. "Dad, it was Emily! I told her I found a better plan, and she scolded me." "She was afraid I'd cure Grandma, so she snuck in and operated." "Grandma died from ruptured vessels. A normal surgery wouldn't end like this. It was sabotage!" Chloe looked at me provocatively. She thought I was dead meat. But the next second, Robert was strangling her.
