My fiancé John called me insane. The stunning new nurse Chelsea burst into tears. —In my past life, Movie star Julian Vance was admitted with severe pulmonary hypertension. The whole ER team saved him, then I guarded him for 24 hours. Yet he died minutes before shift change. Chelsea accused me: "Chloe Blackwood has no ethics! You always play on your phone..." Fake sobs shook her voice. "That was a living person!" John even presented my venting recordings as "proof": "Don’t neglect lives just because you hate your job!" Julian’s fans got me fired. Extremists threw sulfuric acid on me. I died in agony. In death, I saw Chelsea marry John and thrive. Then—I woke up, back to Julian’s ER arrival. 1 “Quick! Get the patient to Trauma Room 3!” “Chloe, what are you standing around for?!” I snapped back to reality. The familiar resuscitation room, the constant flurry of doctors and nurses. Seeing Julian Vance, the film star, lying on the bed not far away, it finally clicked. I had been reborn, and it was the very day Julian was admitted to the hospital. “Chloe, if you don’t want to work, then don’t just stand there in the way.” Chelsea, the new, beautiful nurse, bumped into me, then eagerly rushed to Dr. Mendez’s side, trying to impress him. I watched her, my heart blazing with fury. In my last life, she ruined my reputation, disfigured me, and left me for dead. This time, I absolutely would not let them have their way! Dr. Mendez frowned at Chelsea. “You grabbed the wrong medication! Are you trying to kill someone? Get out of the way!” Chelsea had only been in the ER for three months, and her clinical skills were clearly subpar. I let out a cold laugh, then immediately stepped forward. “Dr. Mendez, I’ll take care of it.” With that, I nudged Chelsea aside and stood beside the Chief. Chelsea glared at me with resentment, but she had no choice but to leave the resuscitation room. Just like in my previous life, Julian Vance’s surgery went smoothly. And today happened to be my shift. The difference this time was, I immediately found Nurse Kelly, the Head Nurse, and requested a shift swap. After taking care of everything, I slowly drove back to Willow Creek Residence. This was the apartment my parents had paid for in full. After I got engaged to John, he shamelessly started staying over frequently. He claimed it was to take care of me, but he treated it like his own place. 2 In my previous life, John and I got together through Dr. Mendez’s matchmaking. His family was fairly ordinary, but he seemed ambitious enough. We’d been dating for almost a year, and I hadn’t let him touch me. John said he respected my wishes. But after I died, I learned that he had secretly been involved with Chelsea for a long time. I had a wonderful, undisturbed sleep at home. The next morning, before I left, I made sure to change the passcode on my smart lock. After that, I headed to the hospital with my phone. As soon as I put on my scrubs, I ran into Chelsea in the ward hallway. “Well, well! Your complexion is still so good after working all night? What skincare do you use? Recommend some to me, won’t you?” Chelsea asked, her tone dripping with passive aggression. I ignored her. Chelsea sneered. “Did you see the trending news this morning? That patient from yesterday is Julian Vance, the actor who just won the Golden Globe, you know?” She leaned in, her voice dropping conspiratorially. “The hospital entrance is swarming with fans right now. If anything happens to Julian, those fans could storm in and tear us apart…” She paused, then continued, her voice heavy with insinuation, “So, you know, when you’re looking after Julian, you have to be extra careful. One mistake, and no one can handle the consequences.” Chelsea’s words were laced with veiled accusations, as if she already knew Julian would suffer a setback. In my previous life, she’d said something similar, but I hadn’t paid attention then. Thinking back now, Julian’s medical emergency definitely had something to do with Chelsea. As I pondered this, the hospital alarm suddenly blared. Julian Vance had suffered a massive hemorrhage and fallen into a coma! Just like in my previous life, everyone from all departments in the hospital sprang into action, rushing towards the ICU. Chelsea also looked incredibly frantic as she followed the resuscitation team into the ICU, but she and Dr. Mendez came out shortly after. At the same time, Julian’s agent, his parents, and even his fan club president, having heard the news that Julian was critical, were all blocking the entrance to the ER ICU. “What’s going on?! He was stable yesterday, wasn’t he?! What’s happening now?!” “Yesterday, your hospital guaranteed there were no issues! Now he’s critical! You have to explain yourselves!” Dr. Mendez stood at the front, his face grim. “He was stabilized yesterday, and his vital signs were trending towards stable, but overnight, he suddenly…” Before he could finish, Julian’s parents interrupted him. “God help us! If anything happens to our son, your hospital will be held fully responsible!” Dr. Mendez’s face grew even darker. As everyone descended into chaos, Chelsea glanced at me and said, almost too casually, “Chloe was on duty guarding Julian last night. Just now, he suffered a massive hemorrhage, accompanied by high fever and inflammation. Fever reducers and anti-inflammatories are supposed to be given every three hours. If they were given on time, none of these complications should have arisen…” She paused, letting her words hang in the air, then continued, “Unless the on-duty nurse didn’t give the medication on time, that’s the only way these complications would appear.” With that, Chelsea took a deep breath, staring directly at me. “Chloe, you have absolutely no medical ethics! I know you always sneak off to the hallway to play on your phone during your shifts…” Her voice rose, carrying to everyone present. “But that was a living, breathing human life! How could you be so negligent?!” Chelsea didn’t directly accuse me. But those two sentences gave away all the necessary information, turning everyone’s outrage towards me. The nurse I’d swapped shifts with had already gone home. And Chelsea and Nurse Kelly were both on rotation today, so no one knew I wasn’t the one who had watched Julian last night. “What?! You were playing on your phone while looking after a patient?!” Julian’s parents’ voices instantly rose. His agent, too, seemed to have found a loophole. “I’m suing this hospital! You’ll pay for this, especially you! If anything happens to Julian, I’ll make sure you suffer!” He glared at me, as if he wanted to devour me whole. I was about to protest. At that crucial moment, my fiancé, John Hayes, the ER Assistant Chief Physician, also emerged from the ICU. He pulled down his mask. “The patient has gone into shock. He’s not going to make it.” At the news that Julian was critical, his parents, agent, and fan club president all turned ashen. 3 Julian’s parents collapsed onto the floor, while his agent was visibly terrified, his face drained of color. The fan club president, utterly distraught, pulled out her phone and frantically started texting someone. The scene devolved into utter chaos. Just then, the hospital Director, Dr. Davies, rushed over, having heard the commotion. At some point, reporters, who had been waiting outside the hospital since yesterday, breached security and swarmed the ICU entrance. The moment Julian’s parents saw the reporters, they burst into tears, wailing, “Negligent hospital! They disregard human life!” Then, in front of the Director and the throng of journalists, Julian’s mother pointed at me. “It’s her! As my son’s on-duty nurse, instead of properly caring for him, she was playing on her phone, not giving him his fever medication and anti-inflammatories on time! If my son dies, this hospital and this hussy will both be held fully accountable!” The words had barely left her mouth when reporters began frantically snapping photos of me. The Director was also surrounded, bombarded with questions. “Is your hospital truly disregarding human life?!” “Why would your hospital assign this kind of nurse to a major star like Julian Vance? Was this intentional?!” Dr. Davies was speechless. Julian’s mother clawed at my collar, crying hysterically. “You hussy! Give me back my son’s life…!” Choked by her grip, I gasped, “I didn’t…” Chelsea heard me try to defend myself and instantly bristled with indignation. “You still deny it? Yesterday, you were clearly on duty caring for the patient, but this morning, when I came in, I saw you playing on your phone!” “It wasn’t me…” Seeing me still trying to protest, my fiancé, John, just like in my previous life, pulled out his phone. “Chloe, you’ve caused too much trouble this time. As a doctor, I can’t cover for you.” He then played a recording. It was from a time when I’d worked three consecutive shifts and came home to complain to him about how exhausted I was. I never imagined John would be so insidious as to record those words. Dr. Davies’s face turned iron gray after hearing the recording. “Chloe, do you have anything else to say?” I sighed, then countered, “Do you all truly believe I did this?” “Look at her! What an attitude! People like this deserve to be put behind bars!” Julian’s fan club president, along with the paparazzi, relentlessly snapped photos of me. John and Chelsea, seeing their moment, directly advised me, “This situation is your own doing. Escaping it is unrealistic.” John’s voice was firm. “Confess, and you’ll be treated leniently; resist, and the punishment will be severe. Chloe, you should just admit it, shouldn’t you?” As everyone’s eyes converged on me, I suddenly smiled. “Are you all so certain it’s my fault?” “Of course! The patient’s current state is entirely due to the negligence of the on-duty nurse. Chloe, don’t even think about denying it,” Chelsea scoffed. John turned to Dr. Davies. “Director, I suggest we immediately fire the nurse who was on duty last night. This is a crime, and our hospital cannot harbor such a person.” I had waited this long. It was finally here. I didn’t get angry; instead, I laughed, stating directly in front of everyone, “Since you all say it’s the on-duty nurse’s fault, then go find Rebecca Davies. Rebecca and I swapped shifts that night.” The words had barely left my mouth when Chelsea let out a gasp. “Impossible! I clearly saw you in the hallway playing on your phone this morning!” I chuckled softly. “That’s because I had just changed into my uniform, getting ready to start my shift.” Then, I looked at Dr. Davies. “Director, Rebecca is your daughter, isn’t she? I swapped shifts with her last night.” At my words, Dr. Davies’s face instantly turned ashen. Chelsea and John were utterly dumbfounded!
