My Cheating Husband's Fake Cancer Became a Real Death Sentence Chapter 10
Three days later, the money came through.One million. Not a single cent less.Henry's parents sold their house, and Sylvia somehow scraped together her share. I heard she borrowed from loan sharks.That night, Henry called me. His voice sounded hoarse. "Madeline… I regret everything."I said nothing."I really regret it," he cried. "I didn't realize how good you were until now. Sylvia doesn't care about me at all. I know I was wrong. Can you give me one more chance? Let's remarry. I swear I'll treat you right from now on."I felt nothing as I listened to him."Henry, that's impossible."He kept trying to play the victim. "I don't have much time left! Can't you have a little pity for me?""Have you ever pitied me?" I cut him off.He went silent."We're even now. From this point on, don't contact me again."I hung up and blocked him.The next day, Henry's parents came looking for me. They waited downstairs outside my office with gifts in their arms."We're sorry, Madeline,

The color drained from Henry's parents' faces.Sylvia stood up abruptly. She swayed so badly that she had to brace herself against the table. She looked at me as tears spilled down her face."Ms. Shaw, I really don't have that kind of money!" she cried. "Please, can't you lower the amount? I can pay you back slowly!"She reached for me, but I stepped away. "No. Not a cent less."The light in Sylvia's eyes dimmed.Then, Amelia rushed over and grabbed my hand."Madeline."Her voice was shaky. All her arrogance was gone. She sounded almost desperate. "I know you're a good girl. For the sake of the years you and Henry were married, show some mercy. Henry has terminal cancer. He doesn't have long left. We don't have any money left."She started crying as she spoke. Tears and snot ran down her face.I pulled my hand back, took out a tissue, wiped my hand, and refused flatly. "No. Absolutely not.""You're going too far, Madeline!" James roared."Am I?" I replied, turning to him. "W

Henry's parents exploded. "That bullshit! Henry earned that money fair and square! You want us to pay it back? Dream on! You can't extort us, Madeline!"I couldn't be bothered to listen to them anymore. I turned and walked away.Amelia lunged at me, but I avoided her. She missed, pitched forward, and hit the ground hard."Ow! My back!" she screamed.James rushed to help her up, while Henry panicked in his wheelchair. "Mom! Mom, are you okay?"I didn't look back and just kept walking.A few days later, Henry agreed to court-organized mediation before trial as he was running out of time.Henry's parents sat across from me. They still had defiant expressions on their faces as if to say that I couldn't do anything to them.As the judge laid out the evidence piece by piece, their expression changed."These transfer records span eight years, totaling 1.086 million," the judge said as he adjusted his glasses. "Mr. Carter, Ms. Shaw has provided a complete evidentiary chain."The judg

I stared at Henry's hysterical state in amusement.With a cold laugh, I twirled a strand of hair around my finger."How was I supposed to know you were sick ahead of time? I'm not psychic. What, was I supposed to predict the future? If you didn't read your own test results, who exactly is that on?"Henry choked on his words. His mouth hung open, but he couldn't respond."If you didn't know about my illness, then how did you have the real test report?" he finally shot back. "You hid it from me on purpose! You made me miss the best treatment window! You bitch, I'll kill you!""The hospital called me to pick it up," I said evenly."You went in for the test and forgot to take the report. They couldn't reach you, so they called me."His face turned even paler.I turned to leave, but Amelia rushed over and grabbed my arm."Henry's sick. Where do you think you're going instead of taking care of him?"I shook her off. "We're divorced. If he needs someone to take care of him, ask his

I stood at the mall entrance, glanced at the brand-new shopping bags in my hand, and casually said, "I'm out buying clothes."There was a two-second pause on the other end. Then, Amelia exploded."You're buying clothes? My son is lying in the hospital, yet you still have the nerve to go shopping? You heartless piece of trash! Get back here right now! If you don't take care of him, don't blame me when he divorces you!"I chuckled."What are you laughing at?"Amelia sounded even angrier. "Listen here, Madeline. Don't think you can do anything you want just because Henry spoils you. If you don't come to the hospital, I'll make sure you regret it.""I'm not going," I cut her off."What?""I'm not going to take care of your precious son anymore."Her voice turned shrill. "Why? What do you mean you're not coming?"I paused, then enunciated each word slowly. "Because Henry and I are divorced."There was dead silence on the line.After several seconds, she finally stammered."Divo

Henry owed me, and this was just the beginning."T-This is impossible!" Henry cried.His voice trembled. Disbelief was written all over his face. "The report I had was fake! I paid 200 dollars for it! This one must be fake, too! You made it up!""Yeah! It's fake! Don't listen to her, Henry! She's trying to scare you," Sylvia panicked as well.The entire courthouse fell silent.Henry's eyes darted between the report and my phone. His lips shook."No! No way!" he muttered as he still refused to believe it. "I was just pretending to be sick. I'm perfectly healthy. I even had a checkup last month."I calmly explained, "You do have late-stage cancer. The doctor told me not to inform you. You don't have much time left. He thought it'd be better if you could enjoy whatever time you had left, so I edited that health report you got last month."Henry stumbled backward and hit the wall.He looked at the diagnosis in his hands, then back at me. Shock and despair flooded his eyes."No, I
