Chapter 1 Reborn

• "Get the defibrillator! Quick! Increase the voltage!"
• "Doctor! The patient is having massive bleeding. The type A blood from the blood bank was just urgently taken!"
• The intern nurse's hands were covered in blood, and even her voice shook.
• The operating room was filled with the pungent smell of blood.
• She had never seen so much blood before.
• At that moment, a thought flashed through her mind.
• “Who would need to urgently take all the type A blood from a blood bank?”
• The woman lying on the operating table was pale, her lips were dry and cracked. stared to loose focus. "Logan ..."
• "What?"
• "Logan Robinson..."
• This time, the intern nurse heard her. The barely audible woman was calling for Logan Robinson.
• Logan Robinson—the most powerful business tycoon in Hastin!
• The doctor was on the verge of breaking down. He misdialed three times before finally getting the number right. He hastily spoke into the phone, "Mr. Robinson, your wife is bleeding severely, but the blood from the bank has been taken. Please, come and see her for the last time!"
• The man's voice was filled with indifference. "She's not dead yet? Call me when she's dead."
• The call was mercilessly ended.
• At that instant, the light in the woman's eyes dimmed completely.
• Logan, do you truly hate me so much? Even now, you won't come to see me one last time?
• The machine emitted a flat, icy 'beep' sound. The patient's vital signs had disappeared.
• Layla felt her soul leaving her body.
• Her withered, frail body lay lifeless on the operating table. Layla felt utterly exhausted. At only 27, she died from postpartum hemorrhage in the hospital.
• In her lifetime, she loved Logan dearly. As the only daughter of the Kennedys family, she should have enjoyed the best life had to offer.
• However, she sacrificed herself and even dragged the Kennedys down just to marry Logan.
• In the end, she met such a tragic fate.
• Layla slowly closed her eyes.
• If she had another chance to start over, she would never make the same mistakes .
• ......
• "Mrs. Robinson, tonight Mr. Robinson wants to take you to the auction. Which outfit would you like to wear?" Cassidy's voice sounded in her ears.
• Layla's thoughts snapped back and opened her eyes.
• Everything around her was strikingly familiar. It was her and Logan's new home!
• It had been a month since she married Logan, but he had rarely visited her.
• She clearly remembered this occasion. Logan had to attend a land auction, and due to the occasion, he had to bring his family along.
• But that's five years ago, how can it be… Wait, am I reborn?
• " Mr. Robinson has never stayed overnight here before. You should seize this opportunity."Cassidy’s voice brought Layla back to the reality.
• She selected a white gown and hesitated. "How about this one?"
• Layla lowered her gaze, smiling bitterly to herself.
• Everyone knew Logan liked Harper.
• In the past, she often dressed like Harper to please Logan.
• Harper liked white dresses, so she wore white dresses, too, to win a little of Logan's favor.
• For this auction, Logan didn't inform her of any change and took Harper instead, making her look utterly foolish in a similar white dress.
• Thinking back now, it was truly laughable.
• "No. I'll wear that one." Layla picked a vibrant red gown.
• She never liked plain clothes. After all, Harper was just a poor college girl. She must have been out of her mind to wear cheap clothes for a man's favor.
• Not only did it lower her status, but it also belittled her self-esteen.
• Cassidy hesitated and said, "But Mr. Robinson prefers the white dress."
• Faced with her persistent hints, Layla acted as if she hadn't heard.
• "I want to wear this." She said, "Throw out all the white dresses. I don't like them."
• Cassidy sighed at Layla's command but eventually complied.
• "Ah..."
• Layla looked at herself in the mirror, still bright and beautiful. However, she would be worn down by Logan’s torment in a few years.
• Before that happened, she would end it all herself.
• In the evening, Layla wore a wine-red fishtail gown with a trailing hem that perfectly highlighted her curves. Her exquisite makeup, delicate curls, and a mole under her eye made her appear even more alluring. She looked like a painting, untouchable and sacred.
• Not far away, a man in a white shirt and long leather boots, with a cigarette between his lips, watched her. Zaneasked with a deep voice. "Who is she?"
• "You don't know her? She's Layla, the daughter of the Kennedys and Logan's wife!" The dandy young master Fedrick, standing beside Zane, said excitedly. "But I just saw that bastard Logan entering in with another woman. We might witness a showdown between the mistress and the wife! I'm already thrilled!"
• Zane did not respond.
• Fedrick clicked his tongue. "Logan has terrible taste. How could he abandon a beauty like Layla for a skinny twig woman? Don't you think so, Zane?"
• He turned around, but Zane was nowhere to be found.
• "Hey! Zane! Damn you!"
• Fedrick cursed as he followed Zane into the auction hall.
• Harper, in a white dress, clung to Logan's arm, looking nervous. "I've never attended such an event before. Maybe I should leave."
• "You will get used to it soon. You'll be attending events like this frequently in the future."Logan calmly said.
• Harper nodded.
• As Logan was about to lead Harper into the hall, Leo asked, "Mr. Robinson, aren't you going to wait for Mrs. Robinson?"
• Logan frowned. "Didn't I tell you to inform her not to come today?"
• Leo glanced at Harper. She quickly said, "It's not Leo's fault. I told him not to inform Mrs. Robinson. I was worried about gossip if someone like me was by your side, so I thought it would be better for Mrs. Robinson to accompany you."
• She lowered her head like a timid little rabbit.
• Logan rubbed his temples. He didn't want Layla to show up at all.
• "Mr. Robinson..." She bit her lip and called him cautiously.
• "It's okay. It's not your fault."
• Logan patted her head and told Leo. "Go to the entrance and stop her. Have her sent back immediately if you see her."
• Amid the crowd, there were murmurs of surpris.
• Leo looked over, and his mouth fell open in shock. "I'm afraid it's too late."
