She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor

Zoey Sanders closed her eyes again, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.

Everyone watched Zoey Sanders as she glanced around at them, then happily closed her eyes again, blinking in confusion.

"Zoey?" Joseph Sanders tentatively called out to Zoey Sanders first.

Zoey Sanders, keeping her eyes closed, heard Joseph Sanders' voice and remembered how he had hung up on her when she was in distress, making her not want to acknowledge him.

Even now in heaven, she didn't want to talk to him.

"Hmph, don't call me. I don't want to talk to you; even in death, you don't let me rest in peace." Zoey Sanders murmured softly, lips moving, eyes still closed.

Although her voice was soft, thankfully the hospital room was quiet, so everyone heard Zoey Sanders' words clearly.

Did she say even in death, she can't rest in peace?

They exchanged bewildered glances.

No way, did this girl think she was dead?

Lucy Parker quickly told her, "Oh my God, Zoey, you're not dead, you're alive and well."

Zoey Sanders opened her eyes, seeing the anxious faces of those around her against the glaringly bright lights, rays streaming down like a surreal fairyland.

She closed her eyes again, "Don't lie to me. Liam Cloud said at the time that I was going to die. I must be dead. Heaven is wonderful, letting me see all of you here."

Hope Williams tugged at the corners of her mouth.

What did that guy say to make this girl insist she was dead?

Lucy Parker went pale; her daughter had just woken up; hopefully, she wasn't now daft.

"Zoey, you're really not dead. Look at me. Look at your mom!" Lucy Parker quickly touched Zoey Sanders' still somewhat pale face, almost rushing to call the doctor again out of anxiety.

"Zoey, you're not dead; you're alive and well..."

Others around quickly chimed in to reassure Zoey Sanders.

"If you were dead, how could you see us?"

Zoey Sanders ran this thought around in her head.

Right, if she was dead, how could she see them unless they were dead too?

Impossible.

Zoey Sanders opened her bewildered eyes, glancing around, meeting everyone's worried yet sincere eyes one by one.

After looking around, she blinked, "Am I really not dead?"

Lucy Parker quickly nodded, utterly certain, "Yes, not dead, not dead."

"I'm not dead, I'm really not dead..." Zoey Sanders kept murmuring this phrase, and as she repeated it, she started crying loudly, "Boo hoo mom, I thought I was dead, I thought I was dead..."

"It's okay, it's okay, you're not going to die, you're not going to die." Lucy Parker quickly rushed to her, tightly embracing her daughter, and the two of them burst into tears.

Joseph Sanders lowered his eyes, no hiding the regret within.

Hope Williams and Aria Richardson's eyes were also red.

Lucy Parker wiped Zoey Sanders' tears, "Alright, alright, stop crying; the doctor said you just woke up and need to rest well; you can't get emotional."

"Yes, yes, stop crying quickly." Adrian Sanders hurriedly brought tissues to wipe her tears.

Zoey Sanders pressed her lips together and nodded.

Surviving a disaster, she couldn't cry.

She should be happy.

Zoey Sanders tugged a smile on her face, not forgetting to comfort the continuously tearful Lucy Parker, "Mom, don't cry either, I've survived a great disaster, there must be future blessings."

Lucy Parker immediately wiped away her tears, agreeing repeatedly, "Yes, yes, our Zoey survived a great disaster and will surely have future blessings."

Zoey Sanders pressed her dry lips together and nodded, seeing Wyatt Lewis and Aria Richardson, she seemed to remember something, and a nervous expression appeared on her face, "Brother Wyatt, Aria."

The two immediately stepped forward, Aria Richardson holding Zoey Sanders' hand, "What's wrong? Take your time to say it."

"Those two women, Emma Winton and Chloe Woods, they want to harm you. I was walking to the bathroom door and heard them discussing something. I wanted to listen, but they found me, chased me, and beat me. They even wanted to sell me..."

Mentioning these, terrifying memories flashed in her mind like a movie.

First, she was knocked unconscious.

Then taken away.

Waking up in a cage.

Trying to escape was discovered, and that group wanted to assault her, to beat her to death.

Later, Liam Cloud saved her.

With a bang, the gunshot sounded.

The violent, stinking sticky sensation of that blond man's blood splattering on her face hit her suddenly. Zoey Sanders shut her eyes tightly, her whole little face scrunching up.

The terrifying scenes began attacking her brain over and over.

Soon after, her whole body started trembling uncontrollably, breathing becoming rapid.

"Zoey? Zoey, what's wrong?" Aria Richardson noticed Zoey Sanders' hand holding hers was trembling non-stop.

Watching her little face gradually turning pale, everyone became anxious again, "Zoey?"

"Quickly, go get the doctor."

Soon, the doctor rushed over again, after checking, the doctor frowned again.

Joseph Sanders frowned at the doctor, urgently asking, "Doctor, what's wrong with my sister? What caused her to react like that just now?"

The doctor walked out with him, lifting his head, holding his notebook, saying, "After examination, it's a stress-induced mental disorder."

"What do you mean?"

"It means she encountered severe external harm, surpassing her body's limits, unable to effectively cope psychologically and physiologically, leading to fear, anxiety, dizziness, agitation, and other responses when recalling those memories later."

Lucy Parker's face turned white, "Is there any way to treat this?"

"It's recommended to pay attention to the patient's emotions, avoid noisy environments, and do things she enjoys to divert attention; it can help her condition."

Joseph Sanders' eyes darkened further, looking back at Zoey Sanders' pale face, murmuring, "Catch them quickly, catch them quickly," a pained expression flashed in his eyes.

Joseph Sanders nodded, "Alright, we understand."

The doctor gave a few more instructions and then left.

Emma Winton and Chloe Woods waited anxiously in the hospital room, every minute and second tormenting them.

Emma Winton couldn't endure it any longer, having Chloe Woods support her out of the room, only to see Joseph Sanders in the hallway.

The two met Joseph Sanders' eyes, and instantly froze, Joseph Sanders exuding an overwhelming anger as he strode towards them.
