Chapter 2

"Chloe, let daddy take a good look at you. You are now excellent and beautiful. I'm so proud of you." Jacob's cheerful laughter echoed in my ears. It was like a wonderful dream.

Before I was reborn, Jacob became depressed after my sudden death and passed away soon after due to Madison's conspiracy.

Henry took over the company and held all the power. He dismissed all the senior employees who had a good relationship with Jacob in one go and replaced them with his and Madison's trusted associates.

I hugged Jacob tight. "I missed you, too."

I thought, "Dad, I really miss you. This time, I won't let us all end up in a tragic situation."

Madison came over, covered her mouth, and smiled, "Jacob, there is still a long time to go. Let's go in and eat first. After dinner, we need to ask the doctor to check Chloe."

"That's right," Jacob wiped his tears and said, "Chloe, let's go. Dad ordered your favorite steak."

I hugged Jacob with a smile and walked inside together.

The meal was enjoyable and quick.

After dinner, Madison couldn't wait to speak. "Chloe, Dr. Turner has been waiting for a long time. You should go..."

I interrupted Madison before she finished speaking. "Are you in a hurry? Instead of asking about my feelings first, you're concerned about my health. How considerate of you."

Jacob coughed twice and seemed to feel quite embarrassed.

"Oh, Chloe, what are you talking about?" Madison hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Health always comes first."

I smiled faintly and didn't respond. I walked towards the room where the doctor was.

"You are Ms. Chloe Miller, right?" The doctor sat down and said with a smile, "Please allow me to examine you."

I stared at his face.

"Which hospital are you from?" I suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

The doctor was stunned for a moment and seemed hesitant. "I am Jack Turner, the vice president of Marindale Hospital. Don't worry. My qualifications definitely meet your requirements."

I pondered, "Jack Turner. Marindale Hospital. The vice president of the largest and most qualified hospital could actually be bribed by Madison and Henry. Henry now works in Jacob's company. If he's involved with Jack, it's a matter of financial transactions. But what about Madison? If she has a connection with Jack, what kind of relationship could it be?"

I looked at the secret glances between Jack and Madison.

I thought, "I want to take a gamble. I have a feeling that the truth behind this transaction could drag Madison into the abyss."

As expected, the next day, Madison came crying to me and the family.

The diagnosis of the disease had come out.

I was seriously ill and had less than four months to live.

Jacob was so sad that he almost fainted. Madison and Henry also covered their mouths and began to cry hypocritically, "Chloe, how could this happen? You can tell us anything you want to do in the four months."

Henry said even more sadly, "That's right, Chloe. I will definitely satisfy your requirements."

I thought to myself, "This is exactly the effect I want. Next, I will start my plan."

I looked up with tears and whispered, "Dad, since there are only four months left. Can I work at your company?"

After hearing that, Madison and Henry's faces turned pale.

Madison asked, "Chloe, why don't you just stay at home and recuperate? Why do you want to go to such a tiring place? I think you should just forget it."

I sneered and thought, "Madison, I knew you would say that. But is this up to you?"

I squeezed out a few tears and said, "Dad, I just graduated and have always wanted to experience the work environment. There are only four months left..."

Henry anxiously pulled Madison's sleeve.

Madison wanted to say something else, but Jacob waved his hand and said, "You are my precious daughter. You can do whatever you want. I will ask my secretary, Emily, arrange you to start work tomorrow."

Henry and Madison's faces instantly turned uglier as if they had just eaten shit.

I smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad."

Madison forced a smile and said, "Chloe, since you are going to work, I will hire a chef for you. Your meals will be the best customized meals."

I thought, "Madison, are you so impatient to poison me now?"

I smiled, stared at Madison's face, and said word by word, "No need."

Madison never thought that I would refuse, so she paused.

"Don't get me wrong, Madison," I said with a smile, "I just want to experience the life of a worker. I can eat meals myself. There's no need to waste."

Madison stared at me and couldn't say a word.

I thought coldly in my heart, "You didn't expect this, did you? You thought you could control me, but in the end, you've only helped me. What you don't realize is just a beginning."
