Chapter 1
The new intern at the hospital claimed to be an expert, saying that any examination could be done without anesthesia, and it wouldn’t hurt. In reality, she just transferred the pain to me.
After she went viral, countless patients flooded the hospital, and even her surgical slots had to be auctioned off to secure
an appointment.
Meanwhile, I was left suffering from the excruciating pain caused by her repeated surgeries. I was unable to work and
was eventually fired due to patient complaints.
What was worse, I began noticing several aftereffects from her treatments showing up on me.
My hair gradually fell out, my body grew so thin it was almost skeletal, and even walking became a sharp, stabbing pain as if I were stepping on knives.
I went to the hospital to confront her, but everyone thought I was just jealous of the intern and had lost my mind.
In the face of my hysteria, she calmly put on her gloves and said, “Aurora, stop making a scene. I’m about to perform brain tissue removal surgery on the billionaire heiress. I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense.”
Then, just five minutes after she entered the operating room, I suddenly had a brain hemorrhage and died on the spot.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the very day when the intern first rose to fame.
This time, I secured a slot for her treatment with all my savings.
“Layla, I want to try your pain-free surgery!”
“Aurora, are you kidding me?”
Layla, the new intern, looked me up and down with disdain.
Her gaze sent chills down my spine, but I forced myself to stay calm and met her eyes.
“I also have a stomach problem. Can’t I try your pain-free gastric endoscopy?”
On her first day at the hospital, Layla had boldly claimed that she could perform pain-free checks and surgeries.
She even performed a bone marrow biopsy for a patient right then and there.
Layla didn’t use any anesthesia, and her technique was completely wrong.
I watched in shock, but surprisingly, the patient showed no reaction at all.
Soon after, my right leg suddenly began to ache.
In an instant, I collapsed to the ground, unable to move, and the surgeries I had scheduled for that day were taken by Layla.
That day, she became an overnight sensation.

She was promoted from intern to chief physician faster than a speeding bullet.
But that same day, I was writhing in pain on the hospital bed.
My leg hurt, my heart felt like it was being stabbed, and then my stomach even ruptured and started to bleed.
I had always been the backbone of the hospital.
When the hospital director heard about my condition, he rushed over to examine me himself.
The result was that there was nothing physically wrong with me.
His face immediately turned cold.
“Aurora, I know you’ve been assigned a lot of work recently, but that’s because we value you!”
“But now, you’re pretending to be sick and dumping everything on an intern. I’m really disappointed!”
I wanted to speak, but my throat hurt too much.
As the surgery schedule showed, Layla was just about to examine a patient with laryngitis.
What were the odds of that happening in the world?
It was hard not to link these two events together.
But in my previous life, no matter how I tried to explain, my colleagues and patients never believed me.
A hint of darkness flashed in my gaze at the memory.
In this life, I must not alert the enemy.
I had to uncover the truth and not repeat the same mistakes!
As expected, Layla refused to give me a gastric endoscopy.
She sneered.
“Aurora, are you here for an exam or to steal my techniques? We both know the answer!”
“Fine, if you want to drag this out, then I’ll just stay here with you! But you’ll be responsible for the time wasted for other
patients!”
Hearing this, the other patients who had also secured a slot immediately grew dissatisfied.
“You’re a doctor. When you examine us, you tell us to just bear the pain, but now you can’t stand it?”
“You probably earn quite a bit. The gastric endoscopy can be done with a capsule. Why are you wasting our time?”
“Smack!”
A middle-aged woman rushed forward and slapped me.

“My son has been suffering chest pain all afternoon! If anything happens to him, I’ll make sure you pay for it with your
life!”
She started the chain of violence, and soon other patients swarmed, kicking and punching me.
In the meantime, Layla had already taken the first patient into the operating room.
Moments later, my chest started hurting horribly.
It felt like I was being stabbed repeatedly with forceps.
I collapsed onto the floor, my head uncontrollably slamming into a chair.
Blood gushed out instantly.
Seeing this, the patients immediately scattered.
“The doctor is staging this! She has no medical ethics!”
“We only hit you! We didn’t punch your chest! Don’t blame everything on us!”
As I neared the brink of unconsciousness from pain, I heard a small boy’s voice beside me.
“Mom, Dr. Thompson is amazing! I didn’t feel a thing just now, and now it doesn’t hurt at all!”
