The Man Who Burned Me Alive in My Past Life Was Also Reborn Novel by Fitzgerald Mitchell

My brother, Ryan, had arrived with the medical team.

While the security guards and nurses were still in shock, I shoved them off and ran straight to my brother.

“Ryan, help Cody!”

He gave me a reassuring pat on the shoulder, his expression darkening as he turned to Lucas.

“You’re helping an outsider hurt your own wife? Are you even human?”

“Where’s the report proving Cody’s brain death? Show me!”

I was trembling all over, my back drenched in cold sweat.

If Ryan hadn’t arrived just in time, they would’ve sedated me.

I would’ve been forced to sign the papers, and Cody would’ve been gone forever.

Nancy composed herself and glared at my brother with arrogance.

“Who are you?”

“This is an ICU. Security, remove anyone who isn’t an immediate family member.”

Ryan wasn’t fazed at all and shot her a cold smile.

“I’m Cody’s uncle. Immediate family.”

“And I have questions about your diagnosis, so show us the report!”

Lucas and Nancy exchanged nervous glances.

“How come I’ve never heard about this undle?” Lucas sneered.

“Lola always said she didn’t have any family.”

My mother–in–law turned to me, suspicious.

I blinked back tears and held onto my brother’s arm.

“I was young and stupid back then. I let this monster cut me off from my family… But now I know I was wrong.”

Ryan wiped my tears away.

“It’s alright. First, let’s get Cody transferred. We’ll deal with the divorce later.”

Lucas scoffed, his tone mocking.

“Only Cody’s biological parents have the right to make decisions about his treatment.”

“I don’t care if you’re the uncle. Even if her whole family shows up, it won’t change a thing.”

My mother–in–law jumped in, backing him up. “That’s right! This is a family matter, and it’s none of your business!”

Ryan got angry. Before he could say anything more, Nancy stepped forward, cutting him off.

“Listen, transferring a patient doesn’t just require the parents‘ consent. The attending physician has to approve it, too.”

“And as Cody’s doctor, I don’t think he’s fit to be transferred. I won’t allow it.”

I glared at Nancy, fury building inside me.

“I’ll sign a liability waiver. My medical team will handle the transfer. Whatever happens will be on us, it has nothing to do with your hospital!”

As the tension escalated, the hospital director, Jacky finally arrived.

Ryan leaned in and whispered, “Don’t worry, I spoke with him before we came.. He’ll be on our side.”

I breathed a sigh of relief, hoping Jacky would bring some justice to the situation.

Clearing his throat, Jacky began, his tone slow and measured.

“I’ve been briefed on the situation. So, Lola doesn’t agree with Dr. Nancy’s diagnosis and has decided not to sign the donation forms. She also wants to transfer her son, correct?”

Nancy nodded hesitantly, fear creeping into her eyes.

Jacky continued, “Then bring out the brain death report so Lola and her family can review it. That will clear everything up.”

Lucas and Nancy froze, their faces going pale.

Nancy fumbled for an excuse. “Well, due to time constraints, and the fact that our team worked overnight to save the patient, the report… isn’t quite ready yet.”

I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Not ready? Or you just haven’t finished faking it?”
