Rebirth Into My Second Chance

Claude stormed out of my office, leaving me in a whirlwind of confusion. I decided to seek out Gabrielle in her hospital room. Despite everything, she had been kind to me over the years, save for hiding the bitter truth. As I approached the door, unsettling noises seeped through the cracks.

"Ugh... ugh... ugh..." It sounded like someone in agony.

"You old hag, you'd better die soon so Claude and I can be together forever. Claude's under my thumb now." It was Kate's voice, laced with madness.

I burst through the door to find Kate straddling Gabrielle, suffocating her with a pillow. Gabrielle's feet kicked frantically against the bed.

"Kate! Have you lost your mind?" I pushed Kate aside, removing the pillow from Gabrielle's face. Gabrielle gave me a weak glance, reaching out, "Claire..." Then she passed out.

I frantically rang for the nurse and started giving first aid, straddling Gabrielle to keep her stable.

Just then, Claude entered. In a panic, Kate burst into tears, "Claude, Claire's trying to kill your mom! I walked in and saw she was smothering Mrs. Hart."
