Chapter 529: Chapter 529: Why don’t you say you are the reincarnation of Dr. Xia? Chapter 529: Chapter 529: Why don’t you say you are the reincarnation of Dr. Xia? The classroom only quieted down when the bell rang.
Abigail Green had just sat down when the psychology teacher walked in.
Everyone started to focus on the class, except for Lena Locke who leaned over to Abigail, “Hey Abigail, did you know? Duncan Symons is taking a leave of absence. She has an older cousin in another departnt who is the assistant dean. I heard she’s the one orchestrating everything targeting you. Is there so kind of feud between you two?”
Abigail was stunned; she didn’t expect Doris Symons’s affairs to spread in school as well.
After thinking for a mont, Abigail nodded, “She got fired from Sincere Hospital because of .”
“So it’s true! I read on the forum that she took bribes from patients at Sincere Hospital and almost killed soone by giving the wrong dicine. And then she tried to fra the patient,” Lena gossiped.
Abigail didn’t know these details but figured there must have been other reasons behind Doris’s quick dismissal.
“Shh, pay attention to the class.” When the dical psychology teacher looked at them for the second ti, Abigail shushed Lena.
Lena finally put aside her curiosity but couldn’t help exclaiming, “I still can’t believe you’re engaged to the second son. And thinking back to the opening ceremony, it was so sweet. He’s clearly head over heels for you.”
Abigail, “…”
If she had heard this before, she would have felt sweet, but after yesterday, Lena’s words only brought bitterness.
Not satisfied with their brief chat, several students gathered around after class, including an unusually excited Celia Agatha, “Abigail Green, you’re the doctor who perford the ergency surgery after the car accident? How did you do it?”
Abigail looked at Celia’s eager face, rembering how she used to make things difficult for her. But she felt a little comforted now; this was how she expected students to be.
To dislike others openly, to disdain them blatantly, to secretly compete with them, but also to be genuinely awed and respectful of their talents.
Celia was different from Doris Symons.
Seeing the eager looks on their faces, Abigail smiled, “If I told you I’m extraordinarily talented, would you believe ?”
Everyone, “…”
“No!” Celia wasn’t satisfied with an answer like that; there had to be more to it.
The others nodded vigorously in agreent.
Abigail pretended to be mysterious, “Actually, I had a dream. In it, a genius female doctor nad Abigail told we were destined to et because we had the sa na. She had diligently studied all her life, but suddenly died before she could use her skills. So she made her disciple, teaching everything. That’s how my dical skills improved so rapidly within a few months.”
Pausing to make sure they understood, Abigail added, “It’s like in adventure novels, where an ordinary person suddenly gets infused with the power of a grandmaster. That’s pretty much what happened to . Get it?”
Abigail looked up to see everyone’s puzzled expressions before they collectively groaned.
Even Sophie Hope couldn’t help but give her a strange look, “Are you saying you’re like Zhu Xu or Wuji Zhang? Or that you’re the reincarnation of Dr. Smith?”
Abigail looked shocked at Sophie, “How did you know?”
Everyone, “…”
Forget it. The first reason seed more reliable after all.
Celia looked at Abigail, who was speaking nonsense with sincerity, and huffed, “Don’t worry, even if you’re a genius, I wouldn’t be jealous. Hmph.”
She then returned to her desk.
Abigail felt a bit hurt. This was the first ti since her rebirth that she had told anyone other than her grandfather about this legendary experience. Who knew it would be t with such disdain?
She awkwardly touched her nose and then heard Master Hudson, who usually didn’t dare to provoke her, mutter, “Abigail Green, can you consider our intelligence when you’re lying?”
Ralf nodded vigorously, “Yeah, yeah, just because we’re not as skilled as you doesn’t an you should bully us this way.”
Even Wilson Jasper couldn’t help but agree.
Lena shook her head, “What adventure drama have you been watching lately?”
Abigail, “… Fine.”
But this little commotion dispersed everyone from gathering around Abigail.
Abigail breathed a sigh of relief.
Sophie ca over rarely, “Mr. Foster has been discharged from the hospital. He might still be our substitute teacher. Most classmates believe there’s nothing between you two, but there will always be so rumors. Don’t mind them. If you ever feel uncomfortable, tell imdiately. I’ll be responsible for your safety during school.”
“Thanks, I know.” Though she knew Sophie was appointed by Brandon Piers, Abigail still appreciated her concern.
“No need to be polite with . It’s my duty. Last ti’s incident was my fault.” Sophie looked guilt-ridden.
Abigail gently patted her, “It’s okay. It wasn’t your fault; you did your best.”
“I…”
“Alright, just protect well in the future.” Abigail interrupted Sophie’s self-reproach.
The confident girl finally nodded but brought up another troubling matter, “Abigail, do you still plan to join Mr. Foster’s research lab?”
Abigail hesitated. She didn’t know how to answer Sophie.
That night, when she went to Brandon Piers’s room, she had decided to give up because after being ignored for a day and night, she realized that while the past was important, nothing mattered as much as her present.
If chasing her past death risked her relationship with Brandon Piers and even brought danger to her current self, was it worth it?
She thought long and hard and decided it wasn’t.
At that mont, for the first ti, she clearly saw what she wanted, who she wanted to spend her life with, and the kind of life she desired.
But all these considerations were shattered by Brandon Piers’s extended absence, his night spent at another woman’s house, and his nonchalant request for Kelvin Max to clarify things.
Because she had decided to let go of all her past stubbornness for him, his betrayal hit her even harder.
Abigail didn’t know what to do now. It was as if she were a traveler in the desert, realizing the oasis she had been heading towards was just a mirage, leaving her without a goal or direction.
Seeing Abigail’s sudden silence, her pale and bewildered face, Sophie called her softly, “Abigail, Abigail, are you okay?”
“Huh? Oh, I’m fine. Let’s talk about this later,” Abigail said, smiling at Sophie.
Sophie wanted to ask more, but the school bell rang, and she had to return to her seat.
