Mag-log inI was diagnosed with stage-two stomach cancer. A lie from my wife had caused me to miss the best window for treatment. “You’re saying I was diagnosed with early-stage cancer six months ago, and my wife knew about it?” The doctor pulled up my old test results and turned the monitor toward me. “We repeatedly told your wife that early-stage cancer has a very high cure rate. One of our physician assistants even called to follow up. She told us you’d already started treatment at another hospital.” I felt as though the ground had vanished beneath my feet. Six months ago, my wife had assured me that my physical exam showed nothing wrong. The doctor looked at me sympathetically. “Fortunately, it hasn’t progressed to the final stage yet. With aggressive treatment, you still have a chance.” I stumbled out of the hospital in a daze. Then I suddenly remembered the strange charm I’d stumbled upon by chance. Could cancer be transferred, too?

That means you must have a way to transfer it to someone else, right?“I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have betrayed you, and I shouldn’t have transferred the cancer to you. I’ve already paid the price for what I did.“But the baby is innocent. Please, you have to help me. When I said I’d transfer it back to you, I was just angry. I didn’t mean it. As long as you can get this cancer out of me, I don’t care who you transfer it to. I’ll be grateful to you for the rest of my life.”Emily looked at me with tears in her eyes.That expression used to work on me every time.But now, I felt absolutely nothing.I asked a passerby to call the police. Even after the officers arrived and took the mother and daughter away, Emily kept crying out desperately.“Daniel, I know I was wrong! Please help me!“If you can save me, I’ll end the pregnancy. I’ll stay with you, and we
I had to admit, Emily had actually figured out the truth.But there was no way I was going to admit it.“Emily, if you think something’s wrong with your head, go see a psychiatrist. Stop snapping at people like a rabid dog.”But Emily refused to let it go.“If you didn’t transfer your cancer to me, then how do you explain the fact that you had stage-two cancer but still looked healthy and full of energy?”Everyone around us stared at me with keen interest. They were all patients themselves. If they really believed cancer could be transferred, I wouldn’t be surprised if they kidnapped me or even cut me open to study me.A shiver ran down my spine.“The stomach is closely affected by stress and emotions. Once I got away from you and all the bad luck you brought into my life, I started eating and sleeping better. I was in a much better state of mind, and with proper treatment, naturally, my condition improved.“Medicine has come a long way. If cancer is caught and treated early, t
I wasn’t sure whether Emily was simply too shaken to think straight or what.She seemed not to notice the loophole in Ryan’s words. He sounded reassuring, but he hadn’t actually made her any real promise.Yet somehow, Emily calmed down, though her body was still trembling.“You’re right. I can’t scare myself like this. I’m going to be fine.”While they waited for the results, Ryan checked his watch several times, looking increasingly anxious.Emily assumed he was worried about her and was so touched that tears welled up in her eyes.“Ryan, thank goodness you’re here with me. Divorcing Daniel was the best decision I ever made.”Even now, she couldn’t resist taking another jab at me.I couldn’t help wondering what would happen when the supposedly perfect Ryan turned around and abandoned her once she became seriously ill.After waiting a little longer, Ryan finally couldn’t take it anymore.“Baby, an important client has been waiting for me for half an hour. I need to go handle
I shrugged. “Who knows? Maybe you’ve done so many terrible things that karma finally caught up with you.”Emily immediately tried to slap me.But she wasn’t my wife anymore. I had no reason to keep putting up with her.I raised my hand and caught her wrist.“Pick someone else to throw a tantrum at. Do you really think I’ll keep tolerating you as I used to?”She flinched, clearly startled.Then she turned to Ryan with tears in her eyes.“Baby, please take me to the hospital. I’m scared.”Ryan looked lost in thought, as though his mind were somewhere else. It took Emily several calls before he finally snapped back to reality.“Don’t be scared, baby. I’ll take you to the hospital right now.”He helped Emily up and shoved past me, knocking his shoulder against mine.As our eyes met, he glared at me.“Watch your mouth. You’d better pray nothing’s wrong with Emily, or I’ll make you regret it.”I casually brushed the loose hair from my forehead.“Mr. Mitchell, you should worry a
