Queen Of The Scalpel Vol 1 Chapter 1

         A dull black and white executioner block . A woman soaked in blood was tied up . Her ostentatious dress that  showed her prestigious status  was  already stained with various dirt from some time ago . The enrage people shouted louder .

"Kill her" "KILL"

"That evil b.i.t.c.h"

THUD

A rock that flew out hit her on the head .

Platter

Even through she was bleeding vividly red blood ,no one pity her . They  only threw rage fueled cruses towards her .

"Is there any last statement you would like to make ?

The King stood in front of the execution site . He only held cold contempt towards the person who was once his wife . Then he spoke with a cool voice .

"The Duke . . . . Your father and older brothers were killed because of sins you have committed . "

" . . . . !"

"To their dying breath all they worried about was you . They pleaded to spare your life at the expense of their own"

After hearing that her eyes show remorse and agony but it was too late to regret anything now .

"Atone to them in h.e.l.l" 

The King coldly commanded . Then a eerie guillotine blade fell on her neck .

The scene has changed .

Black and white surgery room . The surgeons were looking at the patient with urgent expressions .

"The patient's spleen has ruptured! The blood pressure too low!'

"Did you transfer the blood?"

"I'm already doing it but the patient has already lost too much blood"

Their eyes quivered  . The patient's current condition was awful .

Could they really save this person's life?"

Then it was at that moment!

SLIDE

The door to the surgery room opened and one young lady entered the room .

"How is the patient's condition?"

The word small ,no the word  delicate described her very well . She looked as if she would faint at a drop of blood . A young lady that didn't belong to a emergency room but the way the doctors looked at her was strange .

"Professor!"

Their faces lit up as if she was their savior . The lady spoke with a calm voice 

"Are all the surgical preparations ready ? How is the patient's blood pressure?"

"It in the 60s"

This was a very serious shock condition but the woman just nods her head without any traces of pressure . As the woman put on her gloves she stared at the robust male doctor .

"Kim Chief"

"Yes? YES Professor! " 

"Why are you so nervous?"

"The . . . The patient condition . . . "

At that the lady laughs . She had a such a gentle smile that it could instantly calm down a person .

"Kim Chief, Now What should we do?"

" . . . . . . . . "

"Now , tell me"

"After opening the stomach ,we need to find the burst blood vessel and stop the bleeding . Then we need to decide depending on the damage to remove it or not"

The lady nodded her head as if it was no big deal .

"That right . That is accurate answer . That is what we are going to do . "

" . . . . . "

"Now listen . From now we are going to save this patient . Even if the patient's current condition is not good I think  we can still save this patient . Do you guys agree with me?"

" . . . . . . yes, We think so too . "

The doctors who were under a lot of pressure calmed down at her reasoning . That right they can save this patient . No ,any patient if we are with this young but strong lady!

"Scalpel"

As soon as she went into surgery her  expressions changed . From a delicate lady she transform into a surgeon fighting for the life of the patient on the brink of death .

"I'm going to open" 

The scalpel cut into the abdomen . Then blood squirted out and splashed her pale face . In this way her war has started .

" . . . . !"

She burst her eyes opened .

"It was a dream again . . . ''

She shook her head . It was her past lives . The dream was about evil  villainess Elise and the Korean surgeon Song Gi Hyun .

"Anyway ,what is going on?"

She look down at her body .

"I was killed . . . . . "

But she was definitely alive  and in a very familiar body at that! She sighed deeply and look at the mirror as if she could't believe what she was seeing . With golden hair and a doll like face

Elise D Chlores

She had returned to the body belonging to her first life .

"What is happening ?"

She sighed deeply . She was absolutely sure Song Ji Hyun was dead . She was killed in a mysterious plane accident . There was no doubt about that but when she opened her eyes she had returned to this body from the first life . Not only was it her previous body but it was when she was sixteen .

"Whatever"

She shook her head .

"anyway I'm alive . "

It has been ten days since she perceived consciousness . When she first came to her senses  her thoughts  were chaotic and her emotions all over the place but now she felt calm . She was in a much more stable condition and decided to accept what happened to her even if she had no idea how this happened to her . Then it was  that moment .

"Miss? Young miss I'm coming in . "

"Ah . Um,yes come in" .

"This is your meal lady"

"Um . Thank you . "

The young maid carefully laid down the meal on the table and then look cautiously at her lady .

"umm . . . . . lady'' 

'huh?"

"Are you not feeling well?"

"I feel fine . Why?"

She answered with a slightly perplexed expression .

"No it . . . it just seem you different from normal . You also don't seem to be as energetic as usual . . . . "

At first I was completely baffled but then I realized what she meant .

"oh yea . . . my original personality . . . . "

In the first life Elise unlike her doll like face had a horrendous personality . Every minute she was either complaining or throwing a fit . Obviously it goes without saying that she was always  throwing things around . Unlucky people who got injured in the crossfire was inestimable .

'This is still considered "gentle" since at this time all she had was a repulsive personality but hadn't committed any major crimes but as  I grew older . . . .

She felt repugnant as she went over her past crimes . This country's greatest n.o.ble house was destroyed because of her . Watching precious loved ones die has become a burden she had to carry with her every day in her second life .

"In this life I won't allow it to happen again . "

Since I have return to Elise's body I must live her life . However she who had lived as a surgeon on earth didn't know how she was going to live this life . The only thing she was sure of was her rejection towards  her previous regret filled life .

"Mary"

"y-yes? YES!"

Mary was so shocked at her gentle tone she practically shouted .

' What is she planning ?What excuse is she trying to pick to beat me . . . '

The young maid was already subdued to her mistress malicious ways and her eyes showed great fear .

''Is it until today? The last day of my punishment?"

Currently Elise committed a bad deed and angered her father the Marquise . She was now grounded to her room to repent as a punishment .

"It actually better I was grounded "

There forth no one came to visit her which was a good thing . If anyone had see her bewildered self they would find it quite strange .

"ah , Miss the Marquis wants to see you at lunch . "

"Father?"

"Yes, he want you to attend the family dinner . "

" . . . . . !"

She startled in surprise . If it is a family dinner then?

"Is everyone getting together ? Father, stepmother ,big brother and second elder brother ?"

"Yes , everyone who is not especially busy except  of course for the eldest brother as the head of the Rifle Knightage   is always busy . Everyone will come . "

Doki

Elise felt her heartbeat beat in her chest . She was finally meeting her previous family . It had been such a long  long road . This was a reunion after two lives and death .

 *************************************************************

It soon became lunchtime .  

Elise stood woodenly before the door while wearing a dress .

"I have to go in . "

She could't bear to open the dinning hall door . For a long time she loiter in the hallways . Since it was past lunch time everyone should have  gathered .

"How should I react around them?"

The reason she kept delaying in the hallway was because she didn't know how to treat her family members she haven't seen in thirty years .

"I wanted to see them for so long . "

It wasn't like she ever forgotten them even in her second life on earth . In fact because of her guilt she carried them  with her . She always longed for them and wished to atone for the past .

However . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The current her was not the original Elise lady of the Marquess house  but now was the surgeon Song ji hyun . So because of that she felt awkward and didn't know how to treat them . But soon she shook her head .

"Why are you troubled Song Ji Hyun  ? I'm meeting my family . The family I yearned for thirty years . "

Creak

As soon as she opened the dining door the conversations the family members were partaking in stopped . They turned their heads towards her .

' . . . . . !"

As soon as she saw their faces her time stopped .

'Ah . . . . "

She covered her mouth with her hands . Her fingers without her consent started to shiver uncontrollably . There was no point in worrying about how to treat them . Her father who always  loved her unconditionally without saying anything but because of her was framed and killed .

The younger elder  brother whose endless love always  covered her atrocious self and to pay for her crime was forced to fight to the death in battle . Even when she was dying from sickness the step mother  who only care about her as if she were her own daughter , her own flesh and blood .

However to the the end Elise had hated her .

They were 'alive' again  and were facing her . This fact was tearing her insides apart .

"Elise? What wrong?"

As soon as her baffled father talked a drop of tear rolled down from her eye .

'Ah , Ah . . . . "

She quickly wiped her tear away but tears kept flowing endlessly .

" . . . . Lize?! What Wrong?"

The younger elder brother who always treasured her was surprised and came closer .

"Was the punishment too hard on you? That why I said to Father that even if you did something wrong confinement to your room for ten days was way too harsh . Now stop crying my pretty sister . come here . "

The younger brother Chris held her close and embraced her .

" . . . . . !" 

At the feeling of the familiar warmth that she hadn't felt in thirty years  she sobbed endlessly in that warm hug .

"younger elder  brother , I'm sorry really .   really . . . . in this life I promise not to let that happen again . "

Due to her crimes he had to atone by going to fight in the war . She remember receiving news of his death at the estate . She will never repeat that disgrace again .

Chris patted her shoulders while holding her .

"Lize?  Lize?! It must have been so hard on you . Don't cry . You're a lady now with a engagement to look forward to so you shouldn't cry . "

Father and step mother also came closer towards her .

"Dear , I told you that you were too harsh on her no matter what she done wrong . "

"kkh,I'm . . I'm so, sorry . I was way too strict on you . I know the fault is mine so don't cry . '

The usually dignified father apologizes with a agitated face .

However Ji Hyun didn't hear any of their words .

"They're alive again . Every one is alive again and it not a dream . "

She left Chris's embrace .

'I . . I'm okay . "

She looked at her family . Her tears wouldn't stop but she smiled at them . It was a smile filled with her previous life suffering ,regret and a bit of fragility .

"Father . Mother . Second elder brother . "

"what is it ? Elise?" 

She was finally able to say the words for thirty years she had hidden in her heart .

"I love you . "

Then she closed her eyes . From her closed eye a  teardrop dripped down .

"And . . . . . . I'm sorry for everything . truly "

In this way she returned to her first life .

"Kill her" "KILL".

"That evil b.i.t.c.h".

THUD.
