Chapter 5

Auteur: Summer Sway
After I left the hospital, I hurried straight to a law firm and asked a close acquaintance to help me contact a reliable private investigator.

Participating in an overseas medical research project would take up to four or five years. There were some things I had to settle properly before I left for good.

As soon as I sat down at the law firm, I habitually opened my social media feed and saw Shawn's latest post.

He wrote, "1+1=3. This is my happiness."

  • My Fake Tumor, My Wife's Real Affair   Chapter 8

    At that moment, Simone suddenly braced herself against the wall and began vomiting violently. Seeing this, Shawn took several steps backward.One of the police officers cried out in alarm as doctors and nurses hurried over, struggling to help Simone onto a hospital bed. However, she fought like she had gone insane.She kept screaming, "Don't try to take me away! I'm not going! I don't want to die!"A nurse tried to hold her down and comfort her. "Who says you're going to die? Just lie down!"Shawn suddenly let out a sinister laugh. His laughter was shrill and grating to the ears.He mocked, "She's going to die! Why bother comforting her? She has a tumor growing in her brain!"Those cruel words seemed to trigger Simone. Her eyes turned bloodshot as she lunged at Shawn and tightly wrapped her hands around his throat.She hissed, "If I die, then you're dying with me too! If it weren't for you, Heath would never have divorced me! I would never have ended up like this! This is all

  • My Fake Tumor, My Wife's Real Affair   Chapter 7

    One week before the court hearing, the private investigator I had been waiting on finally called me."Mr. Powell, we found what you asked us to investigate, but you'll need to come here and confirm it yourself."His grave tone made my heart skip a beat. Could it really be what I thought?I practically ran to the detective agency.When I arrived, the investigator handed me a stack of photos and said in a low voice, "This is surveillance footage from Haven Supermarket on that day. Although it was damaged, we managed to restore it. These photos show who knocked you over and quickly fled the scene."My hands trembled as I took them. I flipped through the pages one by one. I was trembling so much that I couldn't speak.In that instant, I recalled fragmented pieces of memories that evoked a stabbing pain in my heart. It felt as though shards of glass were cutting into it.That day, I had accompanied Simone to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. We had been about to go home when she

    Suddenly, Shawn walked over from behind me with a disdainful expression. He argued, "Drop the act already. I checked with a lawyer. The company was established after your marriage, so it counts as joint property after marriage. Besides, Simone was the one managing it from the beginning, so of course it should belong to her!"I couldn't help but laugh out loud. "You probably didn't look into it carefully enough. I bought the company property before we got married. It didn't begin operating until afterward."Simone shoved Shawn away and shouted at him. "Stop it, Shawn! Didn't I tell you not to come? What are you trying to do?"Shawn stubbornly shot back, "What? Am I not allowed to come? If I didn't come, you'd lose everything, you idiot!"Simone ignored him and turned toward me instead.Her eyes were red as she choked back sobs. "Don't listen to him, Heath. I don't care if I lose the crappy company. So be it! But I'm begging you—please don't divorce me! Don't leave me, Heath!"I

There were some things I had to settle properly before I left for good.As soon as I sat down at the law firm, I habitually opened my social media feed and saw Shawn's latest post.He wrote, "1+1=3. This is my happiness."The attached photo was an ultrasound showing a two-month pregnancy.Simone's cancer diagnosis was an undeniable fact, yet he was obviously still deceiving himself.I casually tapped "Like" and commented, "Hurry up and get the child's mother to divorce me. Otherwise, it'll always be an illegitimate child."After that, I blocked and deleted both of them from my contacts.That evening, I received a call from Simone's mother, Jane Swift.She was a kind and simple woman from a rural area. Ever since I married Simone, she had always tr

    Simone staggered toward me. Her eyes were bloodshot as she screamed, "Heath, you bastard! You lied to me!"The hand she had raised to slap me froze midair before falling weakly back down. Then, she questioned me instead. "This isn't right! You're a doctor yourself! Why didn't you tell me earlier? Y-You… Were you hoping I'd die?"Philip shoved her away and stood protectively in front of me as he shouted, "What are you talking about? The hospital called you long ago and told you to come back for treatment! "But over the phone, you said no one at home had cancer! You even said since there's no cure for cancer, there was no point in treating it even if someone had it!"Upon seeing that Simone tried to come closer to grab me again, Philip sternly stopped her at once. He said furiously, "We have a recording of that call. Do you want us to play it for you?"With Philip defending me so unwaveringly, all the grievances that I had suppressed surged up all at once. My eyes reddened with

  • My Fake Tumor, My Wife's Real Affair   Chapter 3

    The moment I mentioned divorce, Simone's face fell drastically. She grabbed the divorce agreement off the table and tore it to pieces.Every word she spoke sounded as though it had been forced through clenched teeth. "Divorce? Do you think I'm stupid? You're not my husband, so why should I sign anything? You're just trying to scam me! I'm telling you right now—there's no way I'm falling for it!"I had already expected she would react heinously, so I no longer spared her any courtesy. "The reason you refuse to divorce me is because you're waiting for me to die so you can take all my assets. Isn't that right?"Simone's eyes flashed diffidently for a moment. She glared at me viciously. Then, she grabbed my luggage and violently threw it out the door.She yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about? Get out! Get lost right now!"Standing beside her, Shawn pretended to look anxious as he grabbed my hand and persuaded me to leave. "Heath, just leave already. Stop provoking Simone. She'
