The Prodigy Girl Fighting Cancer

1
A medical prodigy, I was fast-tracked to a top university. But when my paper on a new anti-cancer drug was published, I was crucified online as a plagiarist. I soon discovered why: the scholarship student Id sponsored had published an identical paper a day earlier, securing her a prestigious graduate spot.
When I confronted her, my fianc and brother were there celebrating her success. They turned on me, accusing me of jealousy and slander. The next day, a viral post branded me a campus bully who used family wealth to torment a poor student. I was expelled and became a pariah, while Molly was hailed as a courageous victim.
While searching for evidence to clear my name, I was hit by a car driven by one of her fans. Then I woke upback in time, right before the paper was published.
Lara, I heard your new anti-cancer drug was a success in trials! Thats incredible.
The familiar voice made me flinch. I glanced at the clock on the lab wall and a cold wave of realization washed over me. I was reborn. It was the day after my successful trials, the day before I was supposed to publish my paper.
In the next second, Molly was clinging to my arm, her voice dripping with saccharine sweetness. Lara, Im working in the same field. Could I maybe take a look at your research notes? Just to learn?
Before I could answer, my fianc, Finn, grabbed my laptop and held it out to her.
Whats the big deal? Her research is done. Its useless to her now. Just take it.
Mollys eyes lit up as she reached for it.
Thank you, Finn!
I snatched the laptop back. Thats mine. What gives you the right to play the generous benefactor with my work?
The other students in the lab turned to stare.
Finns face contorted with anger. Lara, the trials are over! You dont need the data anymore. Whats wrong with letting Molly learn from it? Why are you being so petty and selfish? How can you even be my girlfriend acting like this?
In my last life, the threat of him leaving me sent me into a panic. Id immediately caved and handed over my research.
But after I published my paper, my name was dragged through the mud. I went online and saw it: one day before my publication, Molly had released an identical paper. Shed been hailed as a young genius and offered early admission to Crestview Universitys graduate program.
I, who published a day later, was labeled a copycat, a pariah.
When I found Molly to confront her, I saw Finn and my brother, Ethan, presenting her with a cake to celebrate her grad school acceptance. When she saw me, Molly held the cake out with a triumphant smirk.
Id slapped it out of her hands. My brother had slapped me across the face in return, while Finn accused me of ruining Mollys big moment. When I demanded to know why she stole my work, she had collapsed into their arms, sobbing.
Just because I wouldnt give you my research, you accuse me of stealing? How could you?
That was the moment that triggered the avalanche of online hate. The memory of it was a hot poker in my chest.
I let out a cold laugh and my hand connected with Finns cheek in a sharp slap.
Finn, you knew perfectly well this was my unpublished research, and you were just going to hand it over? Do you have any concept of academic integrity?
Mollys eyes immediately welled with tears. Lara, its all my fault, she whimpered. Im the one whos poor and ignorant. Its only natural for you to look down on me. Finn was just trying to be nice. Please dont be angry with him because of me.
Seeing Molly so distressed, Finns anger boiled over. He stepped in front of her protectively. Lara, you think just because your family has some money you can look down on people and humiliate them like this?
I was stunned into silence. Refusing to leak my unpublished data is humiliating someone? How is protecting my own intellectual property wrong?
Mollys eyes were red with unshed tears. Lara, its my fault. I just wanted to study hard, to try and catch up to you.
I grew up poor, in the countryside. Coming here, I realized how far behind I was. I study day and night just trying to change my fate.
If I dont have good reference material, if I cant produce results and get into grad school my parents will drag me back home and marry me off to some old man for money to support my brother. I dont want to go back there Lara, please, cant you just help me?
Finn looked at her with heart-wrenching pity, then turned to me with pure disgust. Lara, are you really so cruel? Will you be happy once youve forced her to drop out?
I could see the onlookers expressions softening, their sympathy shifting to her.
So I slapped Finn again, harder this time.
Me, cruel? Dont you both forget, Im the one paying for your tuition, your apartment, your entire life here! The library is filled with reference materials. Why do you need my unpublished data?
The onlookers blinked, the spell broken.
Shes right. There are tons of resources. Why is she so fixated on Laras specific data? Its normal to say no.
Yeah, Lara is sponsoring her, and this is how she repays her? By emotionally blackmailing her when she refuses an unreasonable request?
Its not Laras fault you have a terrible family. Why should she have to fix your life?
Outnumbered, Finn turned his fury back on me. We may be poor, Lara, but we have dignity! I never would have taken your damned money if you hadnt begged me to let you sponsor me. You have no right to insult us!
With that, he grabbed Mollys hand and they fled through the sea of pointing fingers and whispers.
Just in case, when I got home, I backed up my real data to a new, secure cloud account. Then, on my laptop, I replaced my data with a copy of a well-known, landmark study published years ago by Dean Wallace of Crestview University.
Once everything was in place, I went downstairs for dinner. My parents were already at the table waiting for me. Seeing all my favorite dishes laid out, my eyes stung with tears.
In my last life, when I was trapped in that nightmare, when everyone accused me of academic fraud, I fell into a deep depression. My parents hair turned white overnight. They never left my side, caring for me, traveling everywhere with me to search for evidence.
Seeing them now, healthy and smiling, I was filled with a profound guilt. I had failed them.
Lara, honey, why are you crying? my mom asked, rushing to my side. Did someone bully you?
I wiped my tears and shook my head. No, I just missed you guys at school.
They both chuckled. You were only gone for a day! Come on, eat up. We made all your favorites.
I sat down between them, a warmth spreading through my chest.
We were halfway through the meal when my brother, Ethan, burst in.
His eyes landed on me, and his face twisted into a mask of disgust. Lara, how can you just sit there eating? Dont you know Molly has cried her eyes out because of you? When did you become so malicious?
Looking at his furious face, a wave of disappointment washed over me. In my past life, it was Ethans testimony against me that sealed my fate. I could still remember the comments online.
Her own brother testified against her. That just shows how rotten she really is.
The memory made me tremble with rage.
But before I could speak, my mother shot up and slapped Ethan across the face.
You havent been home in six months, and the first thing you do is attack your sister for some outsider?
Ethan glared at her. Mom, do you have any idea what she did? She used our familys money to bully someone! Her character is flawed, shes vicious
Before he could finish, my father slapped him too.
You disgraceful boy! We know your sisters character better than anyone. Its you who is slandering her, humiliating our familys name!
Ethans furious gaze locked on me. Its your fault! Youve spoiled her so rotten she thinks she can do whatever she wants!
Just then, Molly appeared at the door as if on cue, rushing to my brothers side. Ethan, its my fault, dont blame Lara. Its because Im poor and dont have access to the right materials. Its fine if she doesnt want to share. Dont make things difficult for her. It just means my parents will take me home and marry me off for my brothers dowry.
My brothers eyes filled with anguish for her, which only deepened his loathing for me. Lara, are you that heartless? Youd rather watch Molly get forced out of school and have her life ruined? How can I have such a cold-blooded sister?
My father raised his hand to strike Ethan again, but I stopped him.
Dad, its fine. Its just research data, right? I said, my voice heavy with false resignation. Im done with it anyway. Ill give it to her. I dont want people saying our family uses its power to bully others and damage the companys reputation.
Mollys face lit up. Really? Oh, Lara, thank you so much!
In front of them all, I brought out my laptop and transferred the files to Mollys phone.
There. Everything you wanted. Are you satisfied now?
A flicker of triumph flashed in her eyes. Thank you, Lara. Ill be sure to repay you for this one day.
Repay me? By turning the world against me? By having your fans run me over with a car? Is that the repayment you have in mind?
My brother gave me a grudging look. At least you have some conscience left. Youre not completely rotten.
My mother snatched a pair of chopsticks from the table and threw them at his head. You say one more word against your sister and Ill beat you myself. She gave you what you wanted. Now get out!
Ethan grabbed Mollys hand, and they quickly left.
Over the next few days, I polished my real research paper. Instead of publishing it directly, I sent it to a mentor at the World Health Organization, asking for his feedback. If the paper was as solid as I thought, it would be my ticket into any graduate program I wanted.
