Rebirth: Fast Track Love

Chapter 2 Rebirth

Wendy's face was covered with tears. There was little that she could do at this point. With immense remorse and anger, she looked at her mother who was deeply in pain. Even from her car, Wendy could see that her mother already had blood coming out her mouth.

"No! Mom! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you! I will tear all of you apart!" Wendy shouted desperately.

Seeing that Harold was still blocking the way, the driver sneered and stepped on the gas, slamming hard on the side of Harold's car.

"Bang! Boom!" Instinctively, Wendy fumbled for the seat belt before hitting hard on the breaks. Just in the nick of time, she was able to fasten it on. Otherwise, she would have flown headfirst through the windshield.

The crushed car had lit up into flames. But, upon looking closely, Wendy saw the license plate number and thought that looked familiar.

Wendy could not believe what she saw. With her eyes wide open, her heart was racing madly in her chest. She hastily picked up the phone beside her, only to see dozens of missed calls from Harold on the screen.

Wendy called back in a hurry. She wanted to hear Harold’s voice telling her that he was still at the dinner party! 'Please be okay... please be okay...' she prayed over and over in her head.

As she held the phone against her ear, she opened the door and ran out of the car. She had just taken a few steps when an off-road car knocked her off. Her head hit hard on the ground, and the ground was starting to pool with her blood.

Wendy was starting to lose consciousness. With her eyes fluttering, she saw a middle-aged woman walk out of the car that just ran over her. The woman walked over to Wendy, sneering down at her limp body.

Then, Wendy looked over to her badly mutilated mother and the flaming car next to her before finally losing consciousness.

"What happened to her? Is she badly injured?" the head teacher asked the doctor worriedly.

She didn't expect such a terrible thing to happen in her class. A girl, Shelly Wang, even threw a flowerpot from the upstairs at Wendy's head on purpose. If Wendy's parents came to school and made trouble, she would certainly be unable to escape the responsibility for it! At the thought of the Grade Two Student Union President Selection two months later, the head teacher was vexed!

"We've run some tests on her. There was heavy internal bleeding and a significant amount of brain damage. The patient is in a stable condition now, but is unfortunately in a coma. If she does not wake up in three months, there is a possibility that she might never regain consciousness. All I can suggest is to prepare for the worst." The doctor handed the results of the examination to the head teacher.

"Oh, Wendy..." A gentle voice sobbed.

Her familiar voice rang in Wendy's ears. 'Who is that... I think... I know that voice.' Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Wendy struggled to open her eyes. It was as if she was in a deep abyss, and couldn't move a single muscle in her body.

"Don't cry, Sara. I've heard that the medical treatment abroad is much better than here. We could take Wendy abroad. Don't worry about the cost," someone said. The voice was coming from a man she couldn't recognize.

'Mom? Is my mother still alive? Abroad? What's happening here? We haven't been abroad for over a decade!'

As she heard her mother weeping, it was as if the car accident was all just a distant nightmare, even though it felt incredibly real.

Struggling in the darkness, Wendy desperately tried to open her eyes. Where was she? What was going on? All of a sudden, she felt a sharp pain in her head. At that moment, the pain and anguish she had felt earlier came flashing through her mind.

"Ah..."

"Wendy, you are awake! Does your head hurt? Doctor! My baby is awake!" Sara called out to the doctor, tears of joy rolling down her eyes.

With her eyes slowly opening, Wendy saw Sara's familiar figure. 'What.... What's going on? Mom's still alive?'

Sara was wearing a beautiful, white dress, her long hair in big loose curls. Her skin was so smooth and radiant that her whole appearance exuded class and elegance. More importantly, it looked as if Sara was still in her thirties!

'What‘s going on here!' Surprised, Wendy looked down at her body and saw that she was in her sky blue school uniform. This was her school uniform of primary school from so many years ago!

Astonished, Wendy looked around. She suddenly remembered that she actually did get hit by something when she was seven years old. Her mother took her abroad for treatment. After she recovered her injuries, she lived abroad and never came back.

Was she given another shot at life? Was this Wendy's rebirth? Looking at her slender hand, Wendy bit her fingernails nervously.

"Wendy, why are you sitting up? Just lie down and rest." Sara trotted over and sat on the edge.

With tears in her eyes, Wendy sniffed and held her mother tightly.

'It's not so bad! It's good to start all over again! Luckily, Mom's fine!'

All of their lives, Wendy and Sara had been kind to everyone they encountered and never got into fights or quarrels. Thinking of this, Wendy couldn't imagine who could possibly do such a horrible thing to them -- who was that middle-aged woman behind the wheel of the off-road vehicle?

There was no way she was going to let that tragedy happen again! Wendy was determined to find out who that horrible woman was. She couldn't help but think how much she would make that woman suffer.

Even though Sara felt immense relief and joy, she sensed that there was something wrong with her daughter. Carefully, she looked down into Wendy's tearful eyes as asking softly, "What's wrong, my dear? Are you feeling alright?"

Wendy didn't say anything, and only let her tears silently fall down to her chin.

"Sara, let her lie down in bed first," the man next to her said.

"Oh, yes. Of course." The doctor came forward to do an examination. He was very surprised that Wendy suddenly woke up. The doctor said that all the vitals of her body were stable. It was good that she was able to wake up. The doctor prescribed some medication and a few reminders before promptly leaving.

Wendy looked doubtfully at the middle-aged man standing beside Sara. The man had a distinguished temperament. Just when Wendy was about to voice out her thoughts, another woman came in.

With an accusing finger pointed at Sara, Shelly Wang’s mother, Caroline Lin scolded, "You vicious bitch! Did your child teach my daughter to hit her with a flower pot?! How vicious you are! I'm pretty sure that you were just doing it for the money! This incident has been a real eye-opener for me!"

"What... I think we've had a terrible misunderstanding," Sara said with a frown.

When Sara heard that Wendy was rushed into the hospital, she came there as quickly as she could. It was absolutely distressing for her to find out that her daughter was knocked unconscious by her classmate who had hit her with a flowerpot.

"Misunderstanding? Are you kidding me? Do you think you can just easily get away with this? You fucking bitch! You've seduced my husband, and now you want to put the blame on my child! You are such a vicious woman!" Caroline Lin shouted hysterically. The envy in her heart grew stronger when she saw the elegant Sara.

All the shouting immediately drew attention of other people around. Everyone began to whisper, "Oh my God. I didn't expect that woman would seduce someone else's husband."

"Look at that bitch! She's obviously a temptress!" "Is it really true?"

"Shame on you!" "Who is she?"

The crowd didn't keep their voices down. Sara and Caroline Lin clearly heard what they were discussing. A vicious light flashed through Caroline Lin's eyes. 'I'm going to destroy this bitch!' she sneered to herself.
