I Reborn Not to Forgive, But to Finish It

I looked at Pierre who was walking towards me, with coldness in my eyes.

Pierre was the forensic doctor of the police force, responsible for autopsies and other work.

“Estella, you can finally work the next early shift.” He looked at me with a smile, “Bethany, thank you so much for allowing me and Estella to spend some time alone together.”

Pierre pretended to be affectionate and tried to smooth things over for Bethany.

I looked at him with a half-smile and a trace of unnaturalness flashed in his eyes.

“Pierre, what do you mean?” I asked innocently.

“Estella, I'm just afraid they’ll embarrass you. You know the doctor-patient relationship is very tense right now.

“Now these patients are incited and emotional. It would be bad if they do something extreme,” Pierre tried to explain as if he cared about me. 

I looked at his affectionate face and if I had not experienced this in my previous life, I would have almost believed it.

Pierre was a cunning fox, but he was not embarrassed at all.

Was not it him who secretly instigated the emotions of Terry’s family?

Soon, Terry and her family made another appointment. 

Bethany took a stethoscope and a thermometer, then diagnosed Loyd seriously, “It's true that the child has a cold.

“As for the headache, it's normal. It happens when you have a cold and cough for a long time.

“Take some anti-inflammatory medicine and get an IV drip for a few days and you'll be fine.”

The Dean also came over and even examined Loyd in front of everyone.

“Dr. Bethany is right. I just looked at the blood test report and the child does have the flu."

After hearing this, Terry and her family smiled happily, “That’s good!”

Then she said to me, “That's what I said, Estella, how could you kill someone you know?

“We are fellow villagers, but you are trying to steal my wealth and kill me. What a snake!”

Everyone around me stood on Terry's side and criticized me, “The Dean said that this child has the flu.”

“A doctor who has to undergo surgery for a person suffering from the flu is totally unethical.”

“If you dare to be her patient, be careful that she will open her heart and cut your head open.”

Bethany was very satisfied with the attitude of the people around her towards me and she came out with a smile on her face to act like a good person.

“Everyone, please stop arguing. Estella's specialty is surgery and she's the best at it, so it's inevitable that when something happens, she thinks of surgery first.

“I was born into a family of traditional medicine practitioners and I specialize in conditioning and treatment. Different doctors have different philosophies, so you should understand that.”

Looking at Bethany's ambiguous words, I was once again pushed to the forefront.

As expected, everyone's emotions were ignited once again.

“Dr. Bethany, we believe you!”

“Sooner or later, this quack doctor will get her comeuppance. What a rubbish surgery.”

“Yeah, you treat our fellow countrymen as non-human beings. Are we your experimental guinea pigs?”

“This is a famous hospital in the city. It has produced many respected doctors. How could there be a scum like you?”

There was a look of triumph in Bethany's eyes. She did not even have to exert any effort to make me self-destruct. It was too easy.

But she still pretended to be embarrassed and apologized, “Estella, please forgive me, I don't mean to steal your patient."

“It's okay. You take responsibility. I have no objection. We respect the patient's right to choose,” I answered calmly, then said to the intern, “Selly, you will be my assistant from now on. Please help me pass these medical records to Dr. Bethany later.”

“Dr. Estella. Am I dreaming? I can learn from you? Did I hear you right?”

Others might not know, but Selly and I graduated from the same school, so of course she knew that I was a legend in our medical school.

How could she not see that these people were trying to make things difficult for her senior?

“Of course.” A smile appeared in my eyes.
