How Death Became My Rebirth by Evelyn Florence

Chapter 8

The last class in the morning session was mathematics, taught by the homeroom

teacher.

He had been listening to Patrick’s praise for Ca ssandra in his office.

When Cas sandra was transferred to their class, he was reluctant to accept her because it could

potentially lower the grade point average and impact the enrollment rate.

Thus, he was trying to find an excuse to put her in another class.

But just now, Patrick said Cas sandra had suddenly changed.

‘I’ll have to test Cas sandra in class later, he thought.

However, when he entered the classroom, he saw that Cas sandra was sound asleep.

Today, the other teachers reported that Cas sandra slept during their classes, affecting their teaching

efficiency.

‘I never expected this to be true, thought the teacher.

“Ahem! It’s time for class. The math teacher, Connor Zeller, spoke loudly.

The students all stood up to greet the teacher, but Cas sandra was still asleep.

Cas sandra also found it very strange. In the past, she rarely felt drowsy, but ever since leaving the

Yates residence, she always felt the urge to sleep.

“Why is that girl sleeping?” Connor asked.

Cas sandra’s deskmate patted her to wake her up.

Cas sandra groggily opened her eyes and saw the whole class standing. She didn’t know why, but she

followed suit.

Only then did Connor look away and signal for the whole class to take their

seats.

“Some of you may assume that your performance in certain teachers’ classes guarantees success on

the SAT. But getting into university requires hard work, step by step.”

Connor was clearly hinting at Ca s sandra.

However, Cas sandra didn’t care about what he said at all.

In class, Connor also asked Cas sandra a geometry question that was not included in their syllabus.

He didn’t believe Cas sandra would be able to work out the solution.

However, reality was a surprise for Connor.

Cas sandra solved the question in a very simple way.

In fact, her solution was even simpler than Connor’s.

‘I daresay Cas sandra isn’t the academic underachiever I thought she was. But why on earth is she

concealing her talents?’ wondered Connor.

After the bell rang, Connor closed his book.

“By the way, the last mock exam will be held at the end of this month. Good luck,

everyone.”

The class was now over.

Hugo delivered lunch to Cas sandra on time.

Since Grade 12 students were busy with studies, they didn’t go home for lunch. Instead, they had food

delivered to them or ordered takeout.

Hugo had prepared the food at home before bringing it to Cas sandra.

Cas sandra’s temples throbbed as she looked at the five-layered lunchboxes.

“This is too much… she thought.

“Hugo, don’t bring me so much food next time.” There was no way she could finish it all.

“Boss, you need to eat well. Grade 12 studies are tough. Since you insist on staying here, I can at least

make sure you have a balanced diet.”

Hugo felt sorry that Cas sandra had left the Yates residence, but he also knew that the Yates family

didn’t deserve a daughter as good as her.

‘It’s a good thing Cas sandra left the Yates family. They don’t care about her, but there are other people

who do,’ mused Hugo.

“Hugo, don’t call me Boss. Just call me by my name.”

Being called “Boss” made her feel much older.

Moreover, in her previous/life, she had abandoned them for the sake of so-called family love. She was

the one who should feel sorry for these people who had been with her for so many years.

Luckily, she could make it up to them in this life.

“Well, then I’ll call you Ms. Yates instead.” Hugo was pleased.

‘She’s getting better and better, he thought.

“By the way, Ms. Yates, the Zelinski family has placed an order on the dark web to invite Faye Quirke,

the miracle doctor, to come out of seclusion and save someone.” Hugo took the opportunity to ask if Ca

s sandra wanted to return to her previous profession.

“The Zelinski family?” Cas sandra asked.

There was only one Zelinski family in Drieso, and that was Kenneth’s family.

Cas sandra wondered if Kenneth was the one who placed the order.

In her previous life, she witnessed him avenging her, so she couldn’t help but feel grateful.

“Yes,” Hugo said and thought, ‘It’s the Zelinski family that you’re thinking of

“Send me the information. I’ll take a look first.”

Cas sandra didn’t accept the order immediately. It would be embarrassing if she got it

wrong.

“Understood,” Hugo replied.

Cas sandra carried the lunch box back to school.

She opened the lunch box layer by layer, revealing orange chicken, cod, braised beef, steamed

broccoli, and bone broth..

These were all homemade dishes. They may not have been Cas sandra’s favorites, but she didn’t

dislike them either.

Moreover, it had been months since she last enjoyed Hugo’s cooking, and she missed it.

At a glance, she could tell that this was obviously prepared by Hugo because most people could not

make steamed broccoli the way he did.

At her seat, Cas sandra savored the delicious food. By the time Yulissa and others returned, she had

finished eating and put away the lunch box.

This afternoon, Yulissa didn’t cause any trouble in front of Cas sandra.

Since Cas sandra mentioned that Samuel was Yulissa’s boyfriend, Yulissa dared not to speak

anymore.

Yulissa was afraid that every word she said would lead to a bigger misunderstanding.

‘Humph, Cas sandra, just you wait! I’ll complain to our parents and brothers tonight. Let’s see if they’ll

spare you!’ Yulissa exclaimed inwardly.

After school in the evening, Hugo was already waiting at the entrance.

Cas sandra greeted him.

“Hugo, let’s go.”

“Cas sandra, who is the man next to you?” Yulissa’s voice came from behind.

However, Cas sandra did not intend to pay her any attention.

Yulissa gritted her teeth and walked quickly to Cas sandra.

“Cas sandra, even if you have issues with our family, you can’t just associate with anyone… This man

looks suspicious at first glance. How can you walk with him, Cas sandra? Don’t tell me that you’ve

been staying at his house since you ran away from home a few days ago?”

Yulissa continued, “Cas sandra, we’re family. Dad, Mom, our brothers, and I would never harm you.

If you think I’m in your way, then I’ll go back, pack my things, and move out now. I just want you to

come home, okay? Dad and Mom are waiting for you at home.”

Yulissa burst into tears, which moved the students and parents watching outside the school.

“Cas sandra, are you bullying Lisa again? Apologize to her right away!” It was Raymond. who spoke

this time.

He scolded Cas sandra even before he walked close to them.

Cas sandra was speechless.

‘If he can’t see things clearly, then he should donate his eyes to people in need,’ she thought.

“I’m talking to you. Don’t you know how to apologize?” Raymond demanded in ant overbearing tone.

‘I’m going to make sure Cas sandra apologizes to Yulissa today. Since her return to the Yates family,

she has been relentlessly targeting Yulissa. I never expected this behavior to continue at school too!

‘If I hadn’t come across them today, Yulissa would have suffered a lot!’ thought Raymond angrily.

“Excuse me, Mr. Raymond Yates, what did I do to make you so angry?” Cas sandra rolled

her eyes in disgust.

“You bullied Lisa. Do I need to remind you of what you’ve done wrong?” Raymond subconsciously

assumed that Cas sandra was bullying Yulissa again.

As an older brother, he couldn’t stand to see his sister being bullied.

“Mr. Raymond Yates, did I hit or insult Ms. Yulissa Yates? Did I destroy her homework or pull her hair?

Did you see any of that happening?” Cas sandra looked cold and

serious.

“You… You’ve learned to talk back. Go home and reflect on your actions!” Raymond reached out to

grab Cas sandra’s hand, but he didn’t expect her to nimbly dodge hist attempt.

“Do you have selective amnesia? I’ve already made it clear that I have nothing to do with the Yates

family. Why are you still approaching me?”

“Cas sandra, is it because of this man that you cut ties with the Yates family? Cas sandra, you can’t do

this. He is our father’s age. How could you abandon our family for him?” Yulissa said with a pained

expression.

Yulissa was really good at acting.

If Cas sandra wasn’t personally involved, she may have believed Yulissa’s words.

Hugo was dumbfounded.

He couldn’t tell if Yulissa was insulting Cas sandra or trying to flatter him.
