Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Saving Rina

Lilian’s sharp, commanding gaze cut through the noisy crowd like a blade, instantly silencing everyone around her. The chaotic murmurs died down, replaced by a tense, expectant hush.

Without hesitation, she pulled open the girl’s jacket, revealing pale, trembling skin beneath. Her hands moved swiftly and confidently, inserting the slender silver needles with practiced precision. The onlookers watched in stunned silence, their eyes wide with disbelief and awe at the effortless grace of her movements.

As the treatment continued, the girl’s ragged breathing began to even out, the sickly purple tint that had overtaken her face slowly fading away. Her eyelids fluttered open, revealing glassy eyes that struggled to focus. In a daze, she gazed up at Lilian and whispered, “An angel… Are you here to take me to heaven?”

Lilian’s lips curved into a gentle, reassuring smile. “I am your angel, but heaven isn’t ready for you just yet. I’m sending you back to the world.”

A wave of gasps and murmurs swept through the crowd once more, but this time the tone had shifted. The previous sneers and mockery were replaced by stunned silence, then a flush of shame spread across many faces.

After a moment, Lilian ran her hand lightly over the girl’s chest, and the silver needles responded instantly, detaching smoothly and settling neatly into her palm. She carefully packed them away before helping the girl sit up with a soft touch.

“How do you feel?” Lilian asked quietly.

“Much better,” the girl replied softly, her voice still weak but steady. “Usually, it hurts so much when it happens, but this time… it felt different. Thank you.” She offered a small, grateful smile. “My name’s Rina Shanks. What’s yours?”

“Lilian,” she answered simply.

Suddenly, a cluster of luxury cars roared up and screeched to a halt nearby. The lead vehicle’s door flew open, and a woman in high-end designer clothes hurried out, panic etched deeply across her elegant face.

“Rina! Rina, are you okay?” she called out, her voice trembling with worry.

Rina’s eyes scanned the area until she spotted her mother. Reaching out, she took her hand gently, her tone calm despite the lingering weakness. “I’m okay, Mom. Lilian helped me.” Then she glanced at Lilian with a look full of gratitude.

The woman immediately turned to Lilian, grasping her hand tightly. “Thank you. Thank you so much for saving her.”

Lilian returned a polite smile. “It’s nothing. Since I could help, I couldn’t just stand by and watch her suffer. But… you do realize how serious Rina’s condition is, don’t you? You can’t keep postponing treatment. If she has another episode, she might not survive.”

The woman’s expression shifted abruptly from relief to raw fear. Tears welled up in her eyes, her voice barely above a whisper. “You’re right. Everything you’re saying is true. We’ve searched all over the world, invested in every medical option we could find—but none of them could promise a cure.” Tears streamed down her cheeks as she choked back a sob. “She’s my only daughter. I don’t know what I’d do if something happened to her.”

Rina moved closer, wrapping her arms gently around her mother in a comforting embrace. “It’s okay, Mom. I’m going to try my best to keep fighting. Please don’t cry.”

“That’s her! That’s Lilian from Class One.”

“She’s gorgeous. Honestly, I think she’s even prettier than that Yulia girl.”

“I was right there this morning. I saw it with my own eyes—she just swept her hand, and the silver needles flew straight into her palm. It was so cool I almost fainted.”

“She’s that good?! I came late today and missed the whole thing…”

Whispers and murmurs buzzed from every corner, and Lilian heard them all.

She sighed softly.

All she had ever wanted was to keep a low profile throughout her high school years.

But fate—and a sudden medical emergency—had clearly decided otherwise.
