My Husband Gave My Life-Saving Medicine to His Mistress

After the deal, the System only gave me seven days to live and settle my affairs.On the first day, I got into a physical fight with Jack, trying to force him to return the untouched medicine.On the second day, I could only cry myself unconscious outside our daughter's hospital room, hating myself for trusting Jack and single-handedly destroying her only chance to survive.Today is the third day. Now that I've clearly realized I'm really going to die, I've calmed down to handle my affairs.When Jack walked in holding hands with his mistress, I was painfully typing out my will, letter by letter.The damn System never warned me that as it took away my lifespan, my organs would age simultaneously. Even just typing made my fingertips feel like they were being pricked by needles."Perfect timing," I said.Deliberately ignoring their intertwined hands, I handed the laptop to Jack. "I've already talked to the lawyer. Take a look and see if there's anything you want to add."Do it whi

"Mom, is someone bullying you?" Emma asked, blinking her eyes. Her thin fingers rested in my palm, so light I could barely feel their weight."Of course not... don't be silly," I said, fighting back tears as I gently brushed her forehead.Her hair, shaved off earlier, had started to grow back. It felt prickly, like a puppy's coarse fur.I remembered convincing her to shave her head, promising that her hair would grow back thicker and shinier. Sadly, I wouldn't be around to see it."But the nurse said..." Emma lowered her eyes. "She said I'm the daughter of a homewrecker."She was too young to understand what "homewrecker" meant.But she could sense the intentional malice in others' words.The nurse who used to be so kind to her had suddenly changed. Emma didn't know what she'd done wrong, only guessing that someone might be mistreating me."It's okay, sweetie. Let's get some sleep, and everything will be better," I said soothingly, my voice too hoarse to sing a lullaby.My Emm

Our daughter was gone, and Jack couldn't even be bothered to go to the hospital to confirm it.The recent news had given Vicky a taste of fame. She quickly capitalized on it by starting her own video channel, which had already gained 100,000 followers.She was live streaming the movie's opening ceremony.In the screen, Jack wore a carefully pressed custom suit, his hair perfectly styled, exuding confidence. He looked like he'd suddenly returned to his twenties.It was hard to imagine how he could live like this while our daughter was critically ill.As he and Vicky cut the ribbon hand in hand, I turned off the livestream and went to collect Emma's ashes.My growing little girl had been reduced to a small urn, quietly nestled in my hands.Before heading home, I received a call from an unknown number.It was Ethan.We hadn't seen each other in seven years, and our different social standings left us with little to talk about.He contacted me after seeing the flood of negative tr

Fortunately, he came back at just the right moment.The two had just laid entwined in the bed. I had already covered Emma's eyes, afraid they might traumatize her."You dare betray me?" Jack, already devastated, was thunderstruck."We're not in any kind of relationship, so how is this betrayal?" Vicky retorted brazenly. "Do I need your permission to date?""I fixed your face, I invested in your movie, how dare you—"The woman straightened up. "That was all your choice. I never begged you. Besides, you're broke now. You can't fund another movie for me. But Director Ares can make a dozen more!"She no longer needed Jack and was ready to kick him to the curb.Jack stared at Vicky's porcelain-like face, enraged.This was the face he had sacrificed his daughter and Lisa for!"Give me Lisa back, give me Emma back!" he shouted."You're the one who owes them, not me!" Vicky shrieked.The three of them argued back and forth, giving me a headache.Finally, when Jack picked up a knife
