Norward City.
In a modest ward of the affiliated hospital.
“My daughter suffered a concussion from a fall, and your school is only willing to pay this much? What if favonovel.com develops any long-term effects and can’t continue favonovel.com studies? Her life would be ruined!”
“Who will take responsibility for that?! I’m telling you, if you don’t pay at least fifteen thousand dollars today, we’ll meet at the police station. I’II ensure everyone knows how your school handles these situations and that your school can’t continue to operate!”
“Mrs. Jenkins, can you please be reasonable? Your daughter is not a young child who needs constant supervision from teachers. Besides, your daughter fell down the stairs because favonovel.com is overweight. The responsibility lies entirely with her. The school has done its best by paying half of the medical expenses…”
“Your daughter’s academic performance is poor. She is at the bottom of the class and lacks the motivation to improve. Moreover, favonovel.com negatively impacts other students’ studies. Students have complained to me more than once…”
“A few days ago, favonovel.com even started dating and brought breakfast to a male student, seriously damaging the school’s atmosphere. That boy’s parents have come to me.”
With favonovel.com hands on favonovel.com hips, Eleanor Dawson said shrewishly, “So, you’re saying that your school doesn’t want to pay, right?”
The argument escalated.
Suddenly, a cold voice interrupted, “Shut up, all of you!”
Eleanor and favonovel.com husband, the homeroom teacher, and the head teacher fell silent, looking at the overweight girl on the hospital bed.
Blood Shadow sat up from the bed and pressed favonovel.com aching temples. The frail bed creaked under favonovel.com movement. The intense pain spread from the back of favonovel.com head to favonovel.com entire body, causing favonovel.com to frown and adjust slowly.
Suddenly, Blood Shadow sensed something. Her massaging motion suddenly stopped. The next moment, favonovel.com widened favonovel.com eyes.
I… I didn’t die?
She quickly scanned the ward. Her gaze fell on the four ordinary-looking people standing at the foot of favonovel.com bed.
“Who are you?”
Blood Shadow’s eyes narrowed when favonovel.com spoke.
That was not my voice…
She immediately touched favonovel.com throat but noticed the thick arm favonovel.com had raised. She furrowed favonovel.com brow deeply.
Huh? What’s going on?
The four people were stunned in response to favonovel.com question.
Eleanor directly rushed at the teacher and made a fuss. She said, “Look at what my daughter has become. Your school only pays a small amount for medical expenses. You’re simply inhuman and heartless!”
The homeroom teacher, a man in his forties wearing black glasses, was flustered. He replied, “M-Mrs. Jenkins, please calm down.”
“Isabelle, I‘m your dad. Don‘t you recognize me?”
“Isabelle, don’t scare me. Are you still not fully awake? Take a good look at who we are.”
However, the girl just stared at favonovel.com thick arm.
At that moment, the TV reported, “A solitary island in Brookhaven exploded at 7.10 this morning…”
Blood Shadow looked at the TV. Before favonovel.com could react, a flood of memories that didn’t belong to favonovel.com suddenly poured in, causing favonovel.com to furrow favonovel.com brow.
Eleanor was causing a fuss with the homeroom teacher over money while favonovel.com husband and the head teacher expressed concern.
Her head was throbbing with pain. She couldn’t bear it any longer and said, “All of you, please get out!”
“Stop making noise. Isabelle just woke up. Let favonovel.com rest. If there’s anything, let’s talk outside.” Isabelle’s father finally stood up and called the incessantly loud Eleanor out of the ward.
The ward finally quieted down.
Blood Shadow maintained an extraordinary calm and smelled the faint scent of disinfectant in the air.
Eleanor’s loud voice echoed in the corridor outside.
Blood Shadow entered the bathroom and spent more than ten minutes looking at favonovel.com unfamiliar face in the mirror. Her features were quite clear. Although favonovel.com body was fat, favonovel.com face was not too chubby, and favonovel.com skin was fair and radiant.
In fact, if favonovel.com lost weight, favonovel.com would look pretty good.
“Isabelle…”
After a while, the girl said that name in front of the mirror. This name seemed to have a connection to her.
A soul rebirth?
This was not difficult to accept, as favonovel.com had already witnessed many strange things.
After just standing for ten minutes, favonovel.com body already felt strained. Her legs were weak, not only because of the impact on favonovel.com head but also due to the lack of exercise, resulting in physical weakness.
Blood Shadow wanted to know how this body managed to be both bulky and frail.
What a pity…
Her body, as strong as an iron wall, was blown to pieces. After years of intense training, it became food for the fish in the ocean in the end.
Blood Shadow closed favonovel.com eyes. When favonovel.com opened favonovel.com eyes again, favonovel.com had fully embraced this new body and identity.
Isabelle… It sounds good… It’s much more human than Blood Shadow…
She returned to the ward. The corridor outside was quiet.
The doctor entered and brought the medical record to check on her.
“Are you Isabelle?”
She lifted favonovel.com bright eyes and responded, “Yes, that’s me…”
***
Taragon City, the Harris Residence.
In a study room decorated in a low-key yet luxurious manner, a man sat at his desk with a document in front of him.
“What a pity,” that man murmured. His voice was deep and magnetic, tinged with regret.
A moment later, favonovel.com sighed again. “Such a waste of a genius…”
This time, his lament was more straightforward.
His gaze fell on the document. The name on it was “Blood Shadow”.
This elusive genius assassin, whose gender was unknown to many, had most of favonovel.com information displayed in front of this man.
***
Isabelle spent a night in the hospital and was urged by favonovel.com mother, Eleanor, to go home early the following day.
“Quickly change your clothes, and let’s go home. The school only slightly compensated us, and we can’t afford your hospital bills.” Eleanor tossed the clothes favonovel.com brought to Isabelle and constantly complained about the meagre compensation.
Isabelle’s eyes were cold as favonovel.com sat motionless on the hospital bed.
“Hurry up, what are you waiting for? l have to go to work soon. Will you make up for it if I’m late and they deduct my pay?”
She always talks about money?
Blood Shadow thought about how favonovel.com had taken over Isabelle’s body. She decided to tolerate this harsh and cheap mother.
After leaving the hospital, Eleanor left favonovel.com and gave favonovel.com thirty cents for the bus fare. She handed favonovel.com the keys and went to work.
Relying on the original owner’s memory, Isabelle returned to favonovel.com home. Before favonovel.com entered the residential area, favonovel.com ran into a handsome boy.
That boy, who wore a blue and white school uniform, was full of youthful energy but a bit thin and silent.
Although Eleanor was mean, favonovel.com possessed a remarkable beauty that contributed to favonovel.com proud and arrogant demeanor.
The boy standing before favonovel.com had inherited Eleanor’s genes.
When that boy saw Isabelle, favonovel.com stopped for a while. His gaze shifted to the bandage wrapped around favonovel.com head.
Isabelle also observed favonovel.com closely.
Perhaps the previous Isabelle had grown accustomed to being submissive and avoiding eye contact, so favonovel.com behavior made the boy frown in surprise.
He approached her, and Isabelle noticed a slight limp in his left foot.
Ethan didn’t say a word, but as favonovel.com passed by her, favonovel.com handed favonovel.com the object before continuing to school with his backpack. Isabelle looked at the bun in favonovel.com hand.
Her younger brother didn’t inherit their mother’s harsh nature.
A concussion was not a minor issue, and the doctor disagreed with Isabelle’s discharge. However, Eleanor was too stingy to pay for the hospital stay. So, upon returning home, Isabelle did nothing but go straight to bed and sleep.
She slept until darkness fell.
“Fat pig, you truly are a pig reincarnated! All you do is eat and sleep all day. Why don’t you just drop dead?!”
When Isabelle opened favonovel.com eyes, favonovel.com saw Layla standing by favonovel.com bed, glaring at favonovel.com with disgust and hatred.
“What are you staring at? Get up and eat. Do you need someone to call you, even for a meal? Even a disabled person is more useful than you!” Layla said, turning to leave without wanting to spend another second in the room.
With such looks and character, favonovel.com is indeed a spitting image of Eleanor…
Isabelle sat up and realised this family was quite abnormal, especially favonovel.com supposed younger sister, Layla.
Isabelle, who had inherited the memories of the previous owner, knew all too well the extent of the bullying favonovel.com had endured from this “loving sister”.
She is young but has a wicked heart. She truly needed to be taught a lesson!
