At Central Hospital, after receiving the latest medical report, Dr. Henry Mason, with his hair streaked with white, earnestly advised Emily Parker, "Miss Parker, I suggest you call your family to prepare for hospital admission procedures. Your brain tumor has begun to spread, and if it continues at this rate, Im afraid..."
Emily shook her head, refusing Dr. Masons proposal. Her parents had already died in a car accident, and the only legal family she had was Robert Grant. But she didnt want him to know.
"Dr. Mason, if I control it with medication, how much time do I have left?" Emily unconsciously rubbed her index finger with her thumb, a small gesture she had made when nervous for many years.
Dr. Mason sighed deeply; he had never seen such a reckless patient.
"Miss Parker, with conservative treatment, you may live for up to six months."
Six months? She could only be with him for six more months.
Emily carried a large bag of medication out of the hospital and had just reached the entrance when she saw Sophia Thompson, whom she hadnt seen for many years.
Sophia, facing the morning sun, was full of vitality, completely different from Emily.
"Hey, Emily, I didnt expect our reunion to be at the hospital!" Sophia laughed boldly, not avoiding it at all.
Emily didnt want to engage with her and tried to walk past her.
But her attitude immediately angered Sophia, who blocked her way, glanced at the bag of medication in Emilys hand, and smiled even more provocatively, "Emily, are you not feeling well? You must take good care of yourself. When the child in my belly, Roberts child, is born, Im counting on your help!"
"What are you talking about?" Emily was so shocked that she almost couldnt hold onto the bag of medication.
"Emily, I came to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. Im pregnant with Roberts child, for over a month now." Sophia proudly raised her head, her triumphant expression covering her face, the look that wanted everyone to know was really annoying.
Her words made Emily stagger back two steps, almost unable to stand firm.
It had already been more than a month...
They had been together for so many days, and only she was foolishly kept in the dark!
Sophia, seeing Emilys dazed and lost expression, became even more delighted. She stepped forward and whispered in her ear, "Emily, youve held onto the position of Mrs. Grant for quite a while now. Its time to give it back to me!"
The two of them, standing close and whispering, looked to others like a pair of good friends.
Sophia was used to acting. She had deceived her with this facade back then, making her regard her as her best friend. But later, all the troubles came from this so-called best friend!
Emily felt that fate was particularly cruel to her. When she was suffering from a terminal illness and about to die, her husband had even gotten her former best friend pregnant!
Recalling the past and thinking about her current situation, Emily felt her mind in chaos and a sharp pain in her head. Unconsciously, she wanted to push Sophia away, but before her hand could touch her, Sophia had already fallen backward, rolling down the hospital entrance steps!
"Ah——!"
When the scream came, Emily, whose head was splitting with pain, saw a pool of bright red blood spreading from between Sophias thighs, instantly dyeing her beige skirt red.
Emilys eyes were stung by the bright red, gradually losing sight, and suddenly, an angry voice came from her ears—
"Emily, what have you done?!"
