Chapter 3

This time, there was a large cake in the photo, with a cute rabbit on it.

Cristal liked rabbits.

He posted: [You are as excellent as before. We're a perfect match!]

I couldn't bear the shock and almost fainted.

The pain in my ribs appeared again.

Now I had to be extremely careful with all my actions, as it seemed that my bones became especially fragile in the late stage.

Seemingly afraid that I couldn't see it, Kolten actually followed me with that account.

Once admired by the whole school, he had become so despicable for the sake of love.

He thought I still wanted to fight against him.

But I had given up long ago.

I walked through the roads and shopping malls we used to go together, like a walking dead.

When I returned to the hospital, the nurse hurriedly took me to the ward.

"I have never seen a terminal cancer patient running around and disappearing. You scared me!"

I couldn't believe that the first concern came from a stranger I met by chance, and my heart felt hurt.

The nurse stared at me lying on the bed, reminding me repeatedly not to move. Seeing me nod obediently, she left.

Perhaps because there was nothing else to distract my attention, the pain surrounded me again.

Cold sweat soaked the patient's gown, and I couldn't help but tremble out of pain.

I poured out the sleeping pills and swallowed them with my last strength.

Soon, I fell asleep.

The phone next to the pillow rang several times, but it didn't wake me up.

When I woke up, it was already night.

The dinner brought by the nurse was still on the table, but it was so cold.

I checked my phone and saw the new post from that account.

Several photos of the beach were shown with two people clinking wine bottles on them.

Those photos were like sharp knives that were stabbing my heart.

At the bottom, there was a picture of two people lying in a seaside room, with beer and barbecue filling the table.

[Summer, night, beach, and lover.]

There were few words, but it could still hurt me badly.

It shattered the love I had for Cristal.

I scrolled through his updates one by one, which were about their meeting and love.

Each one showed their intimacy.

He seemed like a perfect killer.

Step by step, he broke down my psychological defenses.

I had already decided to quit, yet he refused to let go.

Tears fell from the corners of my eyes onto the pillow.

After nine years of love, he insisted on leaving my heart in a bloody mess before giving up.

This time, I blocked him and also marked all his content as uninteresting.

I turned off my phone and looked in the dark hospital room, but I couldn't fall asleep.

The next day, I met with the expert with dark circles under my eyes.

He raised my medical records and examination reports, and his eyebrows furrowed tightly.

After a moment, he asked me in a low voice, "What about your family members?"

I smiled casually.

"I have no family. I am an orphan."

A deep sympathy flashed in the doctor's originally firm gaze.

"It's okay. There is still hope. There have been people with the same condition as you before, and they have been cured, and it hasn't relapsed in ten years. Now their children even come to visit me every year."

I understood that the doctor was comforting me, so I could only nod and thank him.

The surgery cost a lot, and I could never earn that much money in my lifetime.

Fortunately, Cristal had transferred quite a bit of money to me over the past five years.

It was just enough to cover it.

After paying the fee, Cristal called.

I could faintly hear the sound of the sea breeze in the receiver.

"Are you calm now? When are you coming home?

"If you're not at home, I don't want to stay there either."

Her casual tone made my heart skip a beat.

If I hadn't learned that she loved Kolten, I would have thought she was being coquettish with me.

Taking a deep breath, I spoke coldly.

"I'm not going back. I don't think you want to go home. And you didn't even enter the house since I left, right?"

Otherwise, she would have seen the divorce papers on the table.

The nurse called my name.

"Mr. Bowen! Remember to come over after you finish the call!"

Cristal heard it, and she immediately became irritable.

"Jadiel, what are you pretending for? I thought you were in a bad mood! It turns out you went out fooling around. I knew you couldn't spend so much money in such a short time!

"You disgust me!"

Just as I was about to speak, my phone vibrated.

I took the phone off my ear and checked it.

That account that I had blocked registered a new account and posted another update.

This time, he mentioned me.

I clicked on the photo, and Cristal was lying in Kolten's arms, the two of them tightly embracing each other.

In the past, I might have immediately shouted and questioned loudly.

But now I didn't want anything.

I didn't want Cristal either.

Seeing that I didn't respond, she became impatient in her tone.

"Don't think that you can get away with pretending to be innocent and not admitting it! I'm going to freeze the card I gave you right now!"

But suddenly I laughed.

I was glad that the surgery fee had been paid, so I casually said.

"Take some time to go home. I've already put the divorce agreement on the table. You can sign it right away."

I thought she would be eager to get rid of me and throw herself into the arms of her childhood sweetheart whom she had loved for years.

But I didn't expect her to rebuke angrily, "Jadiel, don't ever think about it! Sign it? I'll only sign when you're dead!"

After finishing speaking, she hung up the phone before I could explain.

I could only smile bitterly.

What was the difference if she signed after I died?

I was about to die soon.
