Reborn: Once Yours, Never Again! Novel – “Drip!” The sharp sound of an instrument prompted Julissa Brisman to muster her remaining strength to open her eyes. Seeing the familiar man, credited to the overdose of painkillers perhaps, Julissa’s eyelids trembled and then slowly closed, without dismissing him as she had imagined. Cerillo Harvey’s face was stern, but the movement of his hands was not devoid of the gentleness of his strokes on her hair.
Only in times like these, when she could not resist, would she not mind seeing him. During normal times, she definitely would not want to see him again. When the vehicle exploded, Julissa thought she was done for. But God seemed to be toying with her. She did not die but lost half her body instead. Everything below her pelvis was amputated. Even excreting had become a problem.Her soon-to-be husband, whom she had exhausted tremendous effort to please, did not even glance at her.
He refused to even cover her medical bills, let alone take her home. Julissa wanted to die, but she did not even have the strength to take her own life. She could not live, could not die, and could not speak. Her life was reduced to a pile of rotten flesh. When Cerillo arrived, his body was trembling, and his eyes were bloodshot. Julissa thought that this might be anger. After all, even though Cerillo hated her so much, he had always held her dearly in his hands. Julissa was brought back to the manor.
Cerillo carefully placed her on his bed. Julissa could not hold on any longer and passed out. Cerillo stared crazily at his unconscious ex-wife, all his emotions finally translating into a light kiss. “Happy birthday, honey.” “I regret it, I shouldn’t have let you go those years ago to be with that man.” “Can you give me another chance? Should we get remarried?” Unfortunately, Julissa was already unconscious on the bed, unaware of anything.
At that moment, footsteps came from the doorway. “Master Cerillo, Garvit Harvey and the young lady’s imposter have been brought.” Cerillo’s gaze grew even colder. “Bring them in.” “Yes.” When Julissa woke up, it was to the sound of screams. Following the sound, she saw a woman covered in blood with her limbs gone, barely hanging onto life as she laid on the ground. This was the woman who had stolen 20 years of her life, Mooresa Brisman. In truth, Julissa was the rightful lady of the Brisman family, but was switched at birth by a criminal, henceforth Mooresa became the lady of the Brisman family while she was reduced to a mere beggar.
It took a great effort for her to return to the Brisman family, begging for their care, but all of the family members treated her with indifference. Mooresa was like a mighty swan, while she was just the earth trampled underfoot.
