How Death Became My Rebirth

In the next few days, Yulissa did not come to school, and Cassandra was happy to be left alone.

It was rare for her to have a few peaceful days.

During the weekend, Cassandra disguised herself as Faye again and was brought to Pinchart Mansion by Kenneth. “Dr. Quirke, when will you start treating my legs?” Kayden asked.

Now Kayden acted warm and friendly toward Faye.

Of course, Cassandra was not used to it.

However, Kayden did not care. After all, in his eyes, Faye was the one who saved his life and could heal his legs. Cassandra asked calmly, “Are you ready?”

“Yes, | am.” Kayden could not wait for his legs to be cured and for him to be able to stand up.

He was a soldier and would rather die standing than spend his life only being able to sit.

“Then, take off your pants.”

Kayden was rendered speechless.

Meanwhile, a vein on Kenneth’s forehead throbbed twice.

‘Are we being so straightforward now?’ he wondered.

“To a doctor, there should be no distinction between genders. Why are you behaving so uncomfortably?” Cassandra said, her voice laced with anger.

Her appearance was gender-neutral, and she only disguised her voice slightly. Thus, it still sounded like that of a girl. This guy confidently said that he was ready. But look at him now. He acts all shy,’ she mused to herself.

“Hugo, help him apply the/medicine,” Cassandra said.

She did not want to do it anymore.

Thus, Hugo helped.

“Yes, Boss, Hugo said.

“Apply it evenly, from the thighs to the ankles.”

Cassandra had already ground the herbs that she had prepared in advance into a paste. Moreover, she even mixed black emerald ointment into it. In order to repair the

meridians, she extracted all the precious medicinal herbs.

Then, Cassandra sat aside without looking at Kayden and let Hugo do the work.

At that time, Kenneth’s darkened face finally changed. He looked slightly refreshed.

“Arghh...”

Another sound was heard. “Arghhh...”

Then, they heard, “It hurts so much. Arghh...”

“Tie his hands and feet. Don’t let him move around.”

‘| almost forgot that if the medicine is wiped off, everything will be wasted. It will be safer to tie him up, Cassandra mused to herself.

Then, Kenneth motioned Yannick to get some people to come over.

Within a minute, several burly men over six-foot-tall came in. They directly restrained. Kayden’s hands and feet.

“Get out. Get out of here! Don’t hold me...”

Kayden was in too much pain, even though he had prepared for it.

However, he did not expect it to hurt so much. It was more painful than being shot five times in a row.

It felt as if tens of thousands of ants were eating his body.

“It hurts too much. Give me anesthetic!”

He could not stand it anymore.

Thus, he begged for them to let him faint..

“No. You have to stay conscious. Otherwise, it won’t work!”

The words scared Kayden. He wanted to be able to stand up, but it hurt so much.

Morcover, he had to be/conscious.

He wondered what kind of human suffering he had to endure.

“How long do | have to endure it, Dr. Quirke?”

“For at least two hours. The excruciating pain will occur in stages. The initial stage lasts approximately an hour and focuses on the regeneration of the meridians and bones. As a result, you will experience intense agony. In the second stage, the pain will diminish by half, indicating the mending process. In the final stage, a bearable ache will persist, albeit with a dull sensation.” Then, she added, “But it varies from person to person. Some need two hours, others. need four hours.”

It would depend on his luck.

Kayden was in despair.

The pain would last for an hour. If he was unlucky, it might be more than two hours. It would kill him.

“I-Is there painkiller, Dr. Quirke?” Kayden asked.

He thought he could eat painkillers if he couldn’t use an anesthetic.

Faye immediately said, “You can’t take painkillers, as they will affect the efficacy of the medicine for your legs. The consequences will be unthinkable.”

Kayden felt that Faye did it on purpose.

‘It hurts! | wonder if I’m gonna make it. It hurts so much!’ he exclaimed inwardly.

As time went by, Kayden’s voice was h oar se from all the screaming. Nevertheless, no one paid attention to him.

It was not until an hour and a half later that the pain finally reduced. Kenneth and Cassandra finally felt the world was quiet. “Have | finally entered the second stage, Dr. Quirke?”

It still hurt, but Kayden could endure it.

“Yes.”

Cassandra noticed the changes in the herbs on his legs. The herbs turned black.

It meant that the treatment was working.

Kayden smiled in pain. He finally was able to endure it. Then he said, “Yannick, | want

to drink some water.”

After screaming for so long, he was thirsty.

Then, it took more than an hour before the treatment on his legs was over.

“Hugo, help him clean up the herbs. We can call it a day.”

It was finally over.

She was already sleepy.

Meanwhile, Hugo noticed that Cassandra was sleepy, so he began to clean up without delay.

“We'll come over tomorrow to apply the herbs again and give you a pill. Then the treatment will be over. You can find a doctor to make a plan for the subsequent rehabilitation.”

She meant that they would meet again tomorrow. But after that, they would not see him again.

Kayden thought it was finally over. But now he would have to endure it again the next day?

“Can | give up? This kind of pain is really unbearable,’ he mused to himself.

“Don't worry,

it won’t hurt this much tomorrow. Well, the pain will be somewhere between the second and third stages.”

It was rare to see Cassandra explaining more.

Kayden was relieved to hear that. He thought, ‘Good. It’s fine as long as it doesn’t hurt so much.”

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Jasper received news that Faye was in Drieso and treating a patient for the Zelinski family. Kenneth had a friend who was in a coma all the time. Jasper knew it too.

He did not expect that Faye would accept the offer.

Moreover, he heard that the patient who had been in a coma for more than a year had already woken up.

Faye was also treating the patient’s leg that day.

If they could see Faye and ask him to treat Raymond, it would be great.

“You can be saved, Ray!”

Raymond looked at Jasper sarcastically and then, the former turned his head to the other side.

For the past few days, he remained in the hospital, alone. Benjamin, Miranda, and hist other siblings stayed back home with Yulissa, except for the first day when they came to see him.

It was not that he was petty, but he wondered if they did not think that he, who was at patient, was as important as a healthy person.

Raymond thought Jasper would not have come to see him every day if it weren’t for Jasper working here.

“Don't be ridiculous, Jace. | have accepted my fate. Don’t give me hope,” Raymond said.

“You can’t think like that, Ray. There must be hope. Trust me!” Jasper spoke excitedly.

“What are the two of you talking about?” Benjamin and Miranda, as well as Yulissa and Leonardo, arrived.

Yulissa hurriedly walked over to Raymond's bedside and said with distress in her eyes, “How are you, Ray? I’ve been busy studying these days and haven't come to see you. Don’t be angry, okay?”

Raymond frowned.

“When have | gotten angry? Has she been busy studying? But hasn’t she taken a rest for a few days?’ he wondered. “What were the two of you talking about?” Miranda asked again.

“| told Ray that there’s hope to cure his hands.” Jasper was very excited as he added, “Dr. Quirke is in Drieso. He’s treating Mr. Zelinski’s friend's legs today. There will be a good

result!”

Benjamin asked, “How do you know?”

“My friend told me about it. He saw following a man in his thirties to Pinehart Mansion with great respect. Apparently, he’s there to provide medical treatment for Mr. Zelinski’s friend’s legs.”

Then, he added, “I met that patient before, and he was in a coma for a year. But | heard. that he is already awake!” Benjamin was slightly surprised. Can it be that miraculous? It’s impossible!’ he exclaimed inwardly.

“That’s great. Let's find Dr. Quirke to treat Ray!” Yulissa said happily.

She thought, ‘Ray’s hands can be saved! He can help me out again in the future. Leo is too gentle. He never hits Cassandra!”
