Yvette and Sasha’s backs stiffened at the voice, their hands freezing in mid–air.
Jim looked <b>at </b>the person standing at the door, his eyes widening in surprise.
Yvette and Sasha turned to look at each other.
“Did…did you hear something just now?” Sasha asked.
Yvette’s voice was trembling. “You…you heard it too?”
They turned to look at the door, aghast at who stood there, ring at them.
Yvette pointed at the figure next to the door. “Impossible…impossible!”
“Rachel, is that really you? Aren’t you dead?” Sasha eximed.
How could Rachel still be alive after so many years?
But since both of them saw it with their own eyes, it probably wasn’t a ghost they were seeing.
Rachel stepped into the ward, her heels cking on the floor. The gray business suit she was wearing made her look professional and spirited, her beautiful tresses entuating her elegant features.
She lookedpletely different, exuding a magnificent aura that felt distant and imposing.
Rachel smirked, her eyes icy.
“I can tell you two really wanted me dead. I’m sorry to disappoint you, but that didn’t happen.”
She walked past Yvette and Sasha and approached Jim on the bed, the cold, hard look in her eyes softening. “Dad, I’m sorry to have made you worry.”
Jim’s eyes turned red at the sight of Rachel. He lifted his hand weakly and grabbed her hand tightly, leaving unspoken words of yearning hanging in the air.
Yvette started to panic, her pupils dting with shock. Her shoulders started trembling as she stared at Rachel’s back profile.
“How…how are you still alive after so many years?”
Jim reached out to touch Rachel’s cheek, his hand shaking with emotion.
Rachel grabbed his other hand and patted it gently, soothing him before turning to look at Yvette.
“Did
you think that the man you hired killed me?”
Back then, Rachel should have died.
When that man was slowly injecting the substance into her body, she miraculously woke up, as though the heavens had seen her indignation and how unfairly life had treated her.
Yvette’s lips quivered. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing, and thousands of questions flooded her mind. “Where have you been all these years? Why didn’t youe back, since you’re alive?”
A cold glint shed past Rachel’s eyes. Yvette felt a chill down her spine when Rachel’s gaze swept across her. “Had I note back now, how would I ever know that you two were capable of something so wicked?”

After they left, Jim lost consciousness. Rachel immediately called for the <b>doctor</b>.
The doctor began resuscitating Jim once more. One hourter, the doctor came walking out of the ward.
Rachel rushed over to him and asked anxiously, “Doctor, how is my dad?”
The doctor shook his head and sighed helplessly..
“Things aren’t looking good for him. He’s been under much emotional stress in recent years<b>, </b>and his organs are failing. You should be prepared.”
