How Death Became My Rebirth by Evelyn Florence

Chapter 37

Raymond returned home, feeling defeated and at a loss for what to do next.

He pondered over who could aid him in healing his hands.

He didn’t want to end up a crip ple, but 4 billion dollars was way too much.

He wondered whether his parents would be up for shelling out such a hefty amount.

Raymond snapped back to reality when he saw Leonardo coming down the stairs.

Leonardo looked grim as he plopped down in front of Raymond and grabbed a gulp of

water.

“Leo, didn’t you head to the office today?”

“Nah, got a headache.”

Leonardo found himself growing increasingly annoyed as persistent headaches had

become a frequent companion since he started working. It left him in agony.

months.

However, a positive turn came about in the last two months.

Cassandra, upon returning home, sneakily placed an aromatherapy candle into his room.

The subtle and pleasant fragrance that lingered in his room had significantly alleviated his

headache symptoms, making his nights more peaceful.

Initially, Leonardo had sternly scolded Cassandra for her actions. Yet, as he began to reap

the benefits of aromatherapy candles, he eventually gave in to her well- intentioned

efforts.

He even instructed his assistant to fetch more of them from Cassandra.

He recalled his assistant mentioning that Cassandra was more than happy to provide a

generous amount, enough to last for a month.

Both in his office and his own room at home, the air was consistently filled with the

familiar scent. For an entire month, Leonardo had blissfully escaped the clutches of

headaches.

However, just a week after Cassandra left the Yates residence, his aromatherapy candles

had run out.

Yesterday, he even searched Cassandra’s room in the hopes of finding a new one, but

alas, he came up empty-handed.

It was only then that he noticed Cassandra’s room was surprisingly small, making for a

quick and easy search. A single glance was sufficient to take in the entire space.

Without the presence of the aromatherapy candle, he experienced a restless night.

Unfortunately, his headache returned the following day.

His frustration boiled over, and he silently cursed Cassandra. He was eager to discover the

type of aromatherapy candle she used, as he couldn’t find anything similar despite

exploring all available options.

Raymond was taken aback. It had been a while since Leonardo had dealt with

headaches, and now they were resurfacing.

“Leo, it’s been a while since you last mentioned having a headache. Why is it bothering

you again? Do you still have the medicine you used previously?”

At the mention of the topic, Leonardo became visibly agitated.

“I haven’t used any medication for more than a month. I’ve been depending on those

aromatherapy candles from that brat, Cassandra”

What surprised Leonardo was that she didn’t leave any of them behind after she left!

It seemed that she didn’t care about Leonardo at all!

Raymond, upon hearing Cassandra’s name again, found the situation quite absurd.

“Leo, I went to see Cassandra today.”

Yet, Cassandra had changed significantly since their last encounter, appearing somewhat

distant toward Raymond.

“Well, what did she say?”

Leonardo knew that Raymond had gone to inquire about the miracle doctor.

However, judging by Raymond’s current demeanor, it seemed he had returned empty-

handed.

“That brat probably knows the miracle doctor, but she won’t be willing to seek their help

unless you’re ready to cough up 4 billion dollars.”

Hearing this, Leonardo stood up abruptly, but an intense headache caused his vision to

darken.

“Why doesn’t she just hit up a bank? Is she even a Yates? What a traitor!”

When it came to 4 billion dollars, not even pulling off a bank heist could have scored that

much cash so fast!

Leonardo couldn’t help but feel that Cassandra was quite a brat!

“When I inquired upon returning, I found out that the patient from the Zelinski family.

spent 2 billion dollars to bring the miracle doctor into action. After learning that the

miracle doctor could cure the patient’s legs, the Zelinski family wanted to offer more as a

reward, but the miracle doctor declined. Instead, the doctor asked the Zelinski family to

fetch two herbs, spending hundreds of millions of dollars,” Raymond shared, emphasizing

the need to have sufficient funds if they were to request the miracle doctor’s assistance.

Leonardo found himself deep in thought. It was just as Raymond had suggested.

The Zelinski family didn’t block the information, making it easy for them to get details.

about these matters.

However, handling 4 billion dollars was indeed a bit challenging.

“Let’s talk to Mom and Dad about it when they return in the evening.”

Considering his available assets were only 2 billion dollars, any investment would be

limited to that amount at most.

The rest would have to rely on their parents.

After all, money can be earned again, but if Raymond’s condition isn’t treated, it will

persist for the rest of his life.

Leonardo couldn’t bear the idea..

“Elaine, there’s a charity gala in a few days. Would you like to join? It’s hosted by Mr.

Hathaway from Drieso.”

Jeremiah used to visit Springmount Townhouse almost daily.

However, today, he had a specific reason for coming here.

Lucas Hathaway, the mayor of Drieso, was unable to find Cassandra and knew about her

conflict with the Yates family. Consequently, he opted not to go to the Yates residence but

approached Jeremiah instead.

“Lucas?”

“Yeah, he has contacted me/several times already. How about we go together?”

Jeremiah knew that Cassandra disliked trouble, so he felt a bit uneasy about it.

“Well, tell him that I’ll attend. The invitation can be sent to your place.”

In her past life, Cassandra vividly remembered Benjamin and Miranda taking her and

Yulissa to a charity gala. The gown and shoes that Cassandra wore were the ones disliked

by Yulissa.

Even her makeup was excessively vibrant, resembling that of a clown.

During that time, Lucas dropped by to discuss some matters with her. Due to his

appearance at the Yates residence, the Yates family reluctantly brought her along.

However, that night, Yulissa schemed against Cassandra, tarnishing her reputation.

Everyone blamed Cassandra for pushing Yulissa into the pool, resulting in her choking

on water.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Yulissa was far from being unable to swim. In fact, she was at

proficient swimming expert, seemingly born with the skill. Even the Yates family believed

she couldn’t swim.

It wasn’t until later, as Yulissa effortlessly swam in front of Cassandra, that the latter

realized she had been deceived.

Upon reaching out to Benjamin and Miranda for support, Cassandra soon found herself

confined in a dimly lit room.

They accused her of harassing Yulissa daily and causing trouble, which she found truly

ridiculous.

This time, Cassandra was eager to see if Yulissa would resort to the same tricks again.

“Elaine, I sense you’ve been in a bad mood lately. What’s going on?”

Jeremiah, a perceptive man, possessed an understanding of Cassandra that even she

couldn’t match.

With just a glance, he could discern when Cassandra was not in a good mood.

Cassandra raised an eyebrow. “Why on earth would you think I’m in a bad mood?”

“Because I saw it myself.” Jeremiah replied, taking a seat beside her. “Come on, tell me.

What’s bothering you?”

“I’m not in a bad mood, bro. Quit making random guesses.”

It was unlikely that she was in a bad mood.

She simply didn’t feel like smiling.

“Just keep acting tough.”

Chapter 37

On Thursday, the final round of exams unfolded according to schedule.

Yulissa found herself in the first exam venue, while Cassandra occupied the last.

Before the exams started, Yulissa approached Cassandra once again to make her presence

felt, saying, “Cassandra, give your best in this exam. I’ll be putting in my maximum effort

too. Mom, Dad, and everyone are looking forward to seeing you at home.”

“That’s your family, not mine. I don’t want any part of them, got it?”

Cassandra sincerely wished that Yulissa would stop appearing every day.

The sight of Yulissa was becoming increasingly repulsive.

“Don’t say that, Cassandra. They are your family too, and they care about you. Even

though I may have taken their love, we’re still a family, aren’t we? After the exam, think

about dropping the lawsuit. You’ve caused a lot of trouble for Leo.”

“Do you have selective hearing?”

Cassandra suspected that Yulissa couldn’t grasp a single word she said.
