Reborn I Let My Aunt Fall and Never Looked BackChapter 1

The very first thing I did after being reborn was block Aunt Patricia's entire family, grab my suitcase, and run.

On the way to the airport, I posted a photo in the family group chat.

"Going on a trip! Won't be home for the holidays this year!"

Relatives flooded in with questions—why was I leaving for the holidays? Aunt Patricia was the most aggressive, demanding to know why I hadn't told her first.

I played innocent. "Aunt Patricia, I'm just your niece. I don't need to report my every move to you, do I?"

The moment I hit send, I powered off my phone and boarded the plane.

In my previous life, Aunt Patricia had taken a fall, and I'd rushed to her house to take care of her—cooking, cleaning, everything.

But when her son came back, she turned around and took me to court. She said I was the one who'd pushed her.

"If you didn't push my mom, then why were you taking care of her?"

Those words had hit me like a bolt of lightning.

In the end, the court ordered me to pay Aunt Patricia over a million dollars in damages.

To pay off the debt, I worked myself to the bone—literally. I died from it. Overwork, organ failure, done.
