Life after Death

It's been a 60 days since Adeline arrived in this strange world. When she saw herself from the reflection of the river, she was surprised because she turned back to her 12-year-old self. She has a Chinese eye feature, 5'3" inches in height, light brown skin and long black hair shoulder level. Her body stat is 32-24-32 with brown eyes. During her previous life she died at the age of 45 years old.

Her soon to be ex-husband was caught cheating on her. She already forgave him twice. During the annulment he verbalized that she is also at fault, which she thought that yes it is partially her fault. The last time theyhave sexual intimacy was 6 months ago.

Adeline sighs and said to herself, "maybe the reason why he cheated on me because of what I want and that is to sacrifice more of my family due to my work?" My only son doesn't even like me. Adeline worked as a neurosurgeon and also a psychologist. There was even a time when a question was asked if she is ready to sacrifice her family over her work. In my mouth, I said no but in my mind and my own desire I said yes.

In the same day that she proposes to his husband about the annulment, she went back to work and janitor told her that he saw her husband and her rival for the higher position in the hospital, together several weeks ago. After enough digging, she confronted both of them. Adeline husband denied it but her rival did not. She said, "Your husband told me during making out that I am better than you in bed and he said you are a barren and dry." Adeline just stared at them with disgust and thought, maybe I am dry and not good in bed the she leave them.

Two days after the incident, Adeline and her husband were called to the hospital where Adeline work and what presented on front of them is the corpse of their son. The autopsy revealed, drug overdose. When she saw the complete list of drugs, what she saw almost broke her. Most of the drug that her son taken was anti-depressant. She did not even know that her son is suffering from depression. She is an expert to diagnosed others but not to her son. Her husband constantly blaming her after that.

Adeline is now standing at the edge of the top of the 25th floor building. She thought, such beautiful seen fitting of my own demise but before I go I will make sure that they will suffer." She heard his husband shouting, "STOP!" Adeline did not turn around but a faint smile plastered on her face. "Why did you take me out of your will?" her husband shouted. "Why do you think?" She quickly glanced towards the CCTV and continue, "It would better for the two of you to come out. Both her husband mistress and one of the shareholder came out. The mistress smirked, "At least before you die, let us make use of your money. Besides even if you died, we can just falsify the information of your will. "Do you really think that I will just die without having a fight?" She faced them and spread her arms and hands, she was about to move forward towards their direction when her soon to be ex-husband shot her directly to her heart. The last picture that she saw was several police officers arrested the mistress, the shareholder and her husband. The police officer was contacted by her beforehand after the death of her son. As she slips back and fell from the building, she closes her eyes and wish that at least she helps millions of people.

She then thought about the old woman which was her first patient during her residency who gave her a bracelet made up of off white silk with a small tear shape jade that connected both the end of the silk which for ma bracelet even today she still wearing it.

Adeline opened her eyes as she reminisces those memories. She turned around and saw her mother lying on the floor of the cave. Adeline is digging the memory of this girl who have the same features as her, her memory is kind of fragmented but after collecting and fuses it she realized that her mother which is lying wounded on the cave that they currently hiding is the Empress of the Empire of Garuda the Empress Cara De Rook. Her mother is the daughter of the current general of the empire Cardo De Rook, when Cardo De Rook became bounded to his chair for eternity due to the wound that he got from the enemies of the neighboring kingdom plus the fact that the her mother delivered a female child, immediately the Emperor lost interest to her and his father. The Emperor have 5 concubines. The 3rd concubine delivered the first male child and now 12 years old right now. She is just older than him of one month. The 2nd concubine delivered male child 11 years ago and 4th and 5th concubines also delivered 10 years ago.

After several misfortunes that happened to former Empress family and herself, the Emperor stripped his father the title of General and replaced him with the younger brother of the 3rd concubine. Her mother asked for forgiveness to the Emperor that she delivered a female child. Her mother then was transferred back to her house when she was still 4 years old. During that time, this child realized that her mother's condition became worst every year. Every time her mother visited the palace and stayed there for a week, when she got home she always get sick. Based on this child's memories, her mother is always vomiting, her lips were pale and there are several bruised on her back which made her think that she was punished by someone.

There was an imperial edict that the family of Car De Rook Namely Cardo and Cara will be exterminated due to treason. For how they evaluated it as treason is just purely conjecture according to his mother. Her grandfather uses his qi just to be able to stand up and to carry them to escape. Most of his family who also hated them, sided with the Emperor which their lives were spared. It seems that her mother does not have friends even within the relatives.

Her grandfather carried them without rest for every 24 hours then rest for 5 hours and carried them again until they reach the port of the empire of Garuda. The three of them waited for a night before they enter. Her mother cut her hair and wore a man's clothing. Cardo sneakily carried them inside one of the ship and for another 30 days they travelled through who knows where, they just ate the food that is in the storage rooms. Since they look like beggars and did not pester them, the sailormen did not bother them. After they reach the other continent for 30 days they are now in queue to enter the city of Khoryu.
