Her Vengeful Rebirth

Her Vengeful Rebirth Chapter 349 Meeting An Old Classmate At that precise moment, a resolute conviction took root in him. His eyes locked on hers with an impassioned intensity, his voice filled with a fervent declaration, "Today, we are unshackled by any titles or roles, not as patients or anything else. Here, in this anonymity, we can live freely as we wish! Are you okay with that?" He reached out his hand to Calista, illuminated by the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves above, which cast a golden hue on his beige shirt, making him seem almost ethereal.

Dazzled for a brief second by his radiant presence, Calista found herself instinctively clasping his hand.

"Yes.

Meanwhile, in a narrow alley bathed in the quiet of the morning, a young woman with cropped hair hurried along, clutching a pot of steaming stew. She was on a mission to deliver it to the hospital urgently before continuing to her job. Yet, upon her arrival at the hospital, her path was abruptly blocked by a stern-faced nurse.

"Ms. Levine, it's already early December. Your family's delay in settling the hospital bills has extended for two months now. We are not a charity here. If your family cannot resolve this soon, we cannot continue your mother's treatment." This ultimatum ignited a desperate urgency in Rainey Levine, S~Earch the Find_Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

"Please, just give us a few more days. We're about to sell our house, and we'll have the money soon. Just two more days, I promise the payment will be made." The reality was grim; their small, aging house would hardly fetch enough to cover the expenses. Even with the house sold, the looming surgical fees remained a distant hurdle. If she hoped to gather sufficient funds, Rainey realized she would need to find another way quickly.

The nurse, with a cold, knowing tone, responded, "I'll extend your deadline by two days at most. If you fail to meet the payment by then, there's nothing more we can do." With that, she walked away, her expression unyielding.

Rainey watched her go, clutching the thermos close, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. Yet, she composed herself and pressed on toward her mother's hospital room, where her father, who had been up all night, awaited nourishment.

Unexpectedly, she was met with a scene of distress and despair upon her arrival.

"Oh, Lucas, just letgo! I've lived long enough, and I can't bear this any longer. Even if we sell the house, it won't cover the surgery. And if we do sell, where will you and Rainey live? We can't sell the house!" The room was heavy with emotion as a frail, pale woman clutched the hands of a thin, dark-skinned man, her tears flowing freely. Other patients in the room cast sympathetic looks their way. Overwhelmed by the scene, Rainey's tears finally escaped.

"Mom! Please stop. We have to sell the house. I've found a way to manage the surgery fees. You have to fight through this." Her parents felt a surge of guilt seeing their daughter, who was now juggling three jobs daily to keep the family floor 1/2 10:29 Mon, 10 Jún & GA Chapter 349 Meeting An Old Classmate Tears continued to stream down Doreen's face as she pleaded, "Maybe it would be better if I were gone. You wouldn't have to suffer so much then...” Rainey embraced her mother tightly, shaking her head, "No, it's not your fault. You and dad worked yourselves to the bone to givean education, hoping I'd make something of myself. It'swho's let you down." "No, stop blaming yourself..." Amid the sorrow filling the hospital room, outside, Kallum narrated to Calista, "This girl was once a top student and had secured a good position at a private company after graduating. But she stood up against her boss' inappropriate demands, confronted him, and lost her job. Then her mother fell seriously ill." He continued, "She was working three jobs at that time. I heard she even considered selling herself to cover her mother's surgery costs after calling the man who tried to exploit her. He agreed, and they planned to meet at a hotel tonight... Her nis Rainey. Do you remember her?" Calista's response indicated she did remember, as Rainey was a classmate once harmed by her actions and further humiliated by her stepmother.

Kallum watched her silently, giving her tto process this flood of memories, his feelings complex.

He had brought Calista here as a deliberate choice. Wilbur mentioned that Calista's childhood was marred by guilt over hurting a friend who had reached out to her, which led to her withdrawing from relationships. Haunted by the past, she avoided making new friends, fearing she might bring them harm or attract pity. Now stronger, she still maintained a distance, unable to move beyond superficial interactions, adhering to the notion that a no-strings-attached friendship was far superior.

Kallum's intention was clear-to confront the root of her childhood trauma, the guilt she carried about Rainey.

"It's her..." Calista murmured in astonishment. After so many years, Kallum had indeed found Rainey, She remembered her classmate had to leave suddenly during their ninth-grade year.

Calista thought she had forgotten, but the memory was still fresh in her mind. She recalled Rainey clearing out her desk at school. At first, m Calista feared her stepmother had harmed Rainey, but a teacher later confirmed that Rainey's father had lost his job due to an injury, and without the financial means to continue paying for a private school, Rainey had transferred to a public school where school fees were waived.
