Chapter 2

After my sister-in-law Finley was diagnosed with "leukemia," she used it as an excuse to throw a tantrum about moving in with us, so my husband could take care of her every second.

My mother-in-law, Sophia, was naturally overjoyed and immediately agreed, even bringing her chicken soup that had been simmering for hours.

But the moment Finley took a small sip, my stomach seized up in a violent, twisting cramp, and I couldn't help but dry heave.

As expected, being reborn didn't change the situation.

I wasn't sick, but the intense, chemo-like reactions that should have been Finley's were happening to me.

As I stood there in shock, Finley pushed the soup away in disgust, demanding to eat super-spicy fire noodles.

"Ethan, this soup is way too bland. A sick person's mouth tastes bitter, I just want something with a kick! Please~"

My husband looked at her whining with a doting gaze and sighed helplessly. "Fine, fine, my little princess. What else do you want besides the fire noodles?"

"Yay! I also want mango cake, blue cheese..."

Listening to Finley rattle off a list of junk food, I immediately stepped in front of her.

If I let her wreck her body like this, a single violent vomiting spell would be enough to torture me half to death.

I spoke up quickly, "Honey, Finley is still in treatment. How can you let her eat these irritating things?"

Sophia, standing nearby, had initially thought I'd make a scene about her letting Ethan bring his sister to live with us.

But when she heard me showing so much concern for Finley's health, she paused, stunned, and then immediately chimed in with me.

"Absolutely right! When you're sick, you need to eat light, nourishing food. How can you eat that junk?"

"Ethan, don't spoil Finley rotten!"

But Finley's eyes immediately reddened, and she burst into loud sobs after hearing this.

"Sister-in-law, why are you making things hard for me? I'm just sick and have no appetite, I just want to eat something I'm craving!"

"Are you blaming me for taking Ethan's attention away, which is why you're acting like this? Fine! I'll pull out my IV and stop treatment! Just let me die!"

This was exactly how it had been in my last life.

Ever since Finley got "sick," I started having a series of strange, painful symptoms, so I suspected her immediately.

But because she was a "seriously ill patient" who could put on a pitiful act, my husband didn't believe a word I said.

"Are you jealous that I'm paying a little more attention to Finley, so you're deliberately making up these lies to fool me?"

"There's a limit to being jealous! Finley is so sick, it's perfectly normal for me to be good to her! Do you have to deliberately put on this act?"

From then on, my husband Ethan directly took Finley and moved out, staying by her side to care for her 24/7.

Whenever he found me coming over, he'd chase me away without any mercy.

Several times, when I fainted from violent vomiting outside their door, Ethan would be carefully holding Finley, laughing at my misery.

"Tch, if you're done acting, get lost! Finley is in poor health now, she can't stand seeing an unlucky jinx like you!"

Ethan and Finley lived outside for three months.

During that time, I was hospitalized fifty times for bizarre reasons – vomiting, allergies, unexplained bleeding.

Until later, Finley started a crazy fitness livestream to build her image as an inspirational sick beauty.

After she jumped for three hours, my internal organs ruptured, and I died from massive blood loss.

When I opened my eyes again, I had actually been reborn.

This time, I had to find the key to breaking this situation!

Saying this, I met Finley's now venomous gaze and took the initiative to lower my head and apologize to her.

"Finley, I didn't mean to upset you. How about this, since you want to eat those things, I'll go buy them for you myself."

I said this with my mouth, but my eyes were firmly fixed on that bowl of scalding chicken soup. Since Finley could transfer her pain to me, I was determined to test today if this suffering was only directed at me!
