All Chapters of Awakened After Death: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Help! Someone, help me!" I heard loud cries for help.When I opened my eyes, I was back to the day my mom's foster daughter, Edith Kellie, jumped into the river.My mother, Evelyn Newbury, leaned over the railing, her heart sinking and rising with Edith.In my previous life, Evelyn had jumped in without hesitation, only for Edith to push her head underwater. The result? Evelyn had drowned, while Edith had been saved.I lost my mother and endured two years of bullying by Edith and the bully. They even forced me to jump into the same river."Help!" Edith's voice grew weaker.Evelyn was about to jump in, just like in my previous life. Only I knew Edith had planned everything. She wouldn't put herself in real danger. Evelyn's rescue would only hinder her drama.That was why she had pushed Evelyn's head as punishment in my past life, not actually intending to kill Evelyn.I had learned the truth while mourning Evelyn.I had cried and confronted Edith, but the bully had knocked me

Evelyn called the school to ask for sick leave for Edith.She asked the teacher repeatedly if missing school would affect Edith's studies and brought a flow of supplements to the hospital, worried Edith might fall behind in her senior year.I belatedly realized there were always signs of Evelyn disliking me.My grandma on my mother's side raised me for over ten years. Later, she told Evelyn she could no longer support me because high school was too expensive. She hoped Evelyn would take me to live in the city.Evelyn simply told my grandma to send me off to work, claiming that girls didn't need much education. Turning around, she treated Edith completely differently.Evelyn knew the importance of education for girls. Her lack of education was the very reason why Edith's grandfather had rejected her.But when it came to me, she believed girls didn't need to study and should work to support the family.My grandmother on my father's side, Melissa Newbury, had stepped in, claiming s

"Grandma? I'm at the hospital now. I don't have any money," I said. In my past life, I didn't remember much about Melissa. I only knew my grandpa passed away early, and she raised Conrad alone.She was a businesswoman with assets as significant as Conrad's. She knew Conrad only listened to Evelyn, and because of this, she didn't trust Conrad to manage her assets, even though the two had been together for over a decade.In my past life, I had often heard Evelyn curse Melissa behind her back. She had been frustrated because she couldn't benefit from Melissa.Edith had followed her example and disrespected Melissa as well. Even I had been influenced by their attitude, blaming Melissa for ruining the harmony of the family.Whenever Melissa tried to get close to me, I acted cold and distant. I had ignored her sadness and did my best to please Evelyn.Thinking back, I realized how blind I had been. In this life, I vowed to care for Melissa and never hurt her again. She was the only pe

After Melissa arranged my transfer, I suggested going back to pack my things at the old school.She sent bodyguards to escort me there. I wanted to appear alone, so I asked them to keep their distance.It was break time. Most students were napping at their desks. Those who noticed me didn't recognize me at first. I walked straight to my seat at the back.My deskmate was Tyler, the one Edith liked so much. He had sat next to me to bully me more easily. Now it worked perfectly for my plan.My seat was stained with fresh red marks. It seemed they hadn't forgotten me in my absence. I bent down to pick up my scattered books. My foot nudged Tyler's chair.He woke up from the stir and frowned at me."Sorry, did I disturb you?" I apologized.He looked up and met my gaze. I smiled sweetly and tucked my hair behind my ear.In the past few days, Melissa had nurtured me well with the best of everything. I used to be insecure, dark-skinned, and thin. Now my appearance had changed. The contr

I knew Edith would complain about today's events. I just didn't expect Evelyn to call me as soon as I got home, demanding I apologize to Edith at the hospital.It made me laugh. Edith's leg had a large scratch, but it wasn't deep. There wasn't even blood. Her wound might have healed before she even got to the hospital.Then again, going to the hospital suited my plans.Melissa heard it and frowned. "Ignore those nuisances."I hugged her arm and smiled sweetly, "I know, but I have Edith's medical report. I need to give it to her."In the car, I ran my fingers over the medical report, unable to suppress my excitement.Tyler texted me, asking me out tonight. I had planned to make the first move, but since he came to me, it saved me the trouble.I called him, speaking in a soft, trembling voice, "I'm at the hospital. Can you come keep me company? I'm all alone and scared."It made me sick to act like that, but I knew he loved it. As expected, he agreed without hesitation.I turned
