Chapter 20

Author: Lilian Green
Autumn looked up and saw Julian standing there, staring at her with irritation in his eyes and a faint trace of anger in his dark gaze.

“You’ve really got some nerve, showing up here too. Do you seriously enjoy acting paranoid all the time?”

Just seeing her gave Julian a headache.

She was like a ghost that refused to go away.

Why did she have to be everywhere?

Autumn frowned, puzzled. “What did I do?”

She was just playing a game. How was that bothering anyone?

Every time she showed up somewhere he happened to be, he always assumed she was following him and there to cause trouble.

Even doing absolutely nothing became a crime.

She’d had more than enough of the self-centered way he saw the world.

Julian grabbed her arm and started dragging her toward the entrance.

“We’re all here to discuss AI and healthcare. If you came to stir up drama, you better leave now.

“I don’t have time for your nonsense. And if you offend anyone important, I won’t be able to protect you.”

Autumn calmly pulled

    Hector huffed in frustration. "It’s all Autumn’s fault. It’s her birthday today, and when she saw none of us were home, she took it out on Luna."Autumn was speechless.What exactly had she said or done? How was she taking anything out on Luna?Susan pulled Luna into her arms, eyes red as she looked over at Autumn."Autumn, I know you’ve never liked me or Luna, but she’s still your sister.""You can treat me however you like—I was wrong in the past, and I accept that. But please, don’t hurt Luna. She’s innocent."Just then, Simon walked in, arms full of shopping bags. When he saw both Susan and Luna teary-eyed, and Autumn standing off to the side like a block of wood, he immediately assumed the worst.He set the bags down on the coffee table, his dark eyes settling on Autumn. "You’ve really developed a temper, haven’t you? Every time you come home, the whole house turns into a mess."Everyone was in a good mood. We had a lovely day out, and now look—everything changes the moment you

    Only the one who tied the knot could untie it; she couldn’t fix things for them. That was something they had to do on their own.During lunch, Autumn was surprised to receive a birthday message from Keith.Her fingers trembled slightly as she read it. The fact that Keith even knew her birthday completely caught her off guard.She sent back a simple thank-you sticker, then set her phone down and continued eating.Throughout the morning, messages kept pouring in—wishes from colleagues, classmates, friends, and even her best friend, Selena.But there was nothing from Julian. And nothing from the rest of the Lewis family either.Maybe the only one who remembered her birthday in that house was her grandmother.She thought about Luna’s birthday—the celebration, gathering, and attention.And then there was her, with none of that. A flicker of disappointment passed through her chest.But she quickly pushed it down. It didn’t matter. She could still live just fine on her own.She didn’t n

    But Ginny placed the brocade box back into Autumn’s hands. "No matter how valuable it is, it’s meant to be worn. Once it’s gifted to you, it’s yours. Go on, take it."Your sister’s been eyeing those bangles for a while. She even dropped hints about them around her birthday a few days ago, but I didn’t give them to her. I saved these especially for you."Autumn nodded, a little touched. "Thank you, Grandma."Only her grandmother ever truly cared for her in the Lewis family. The rest would be glad if she never came home again.Ginny gently patted her on the head. "Good girl. To me, you’re the real gem of this family. I just wish I could do more for you."But don’t worry, none of my things will go to Luna. Everything I have will be yours."Before Autumn could respond, the cake arrived. Irene brought in the large box, and the sweet scent drifted in from afar.It was her favorite—strawberry cake.Autumn suddenly recalled the mango cake Julian had gotten her ten days ago.That was the diff

    Autumn took the box from Zoe, thanked her, and walked over to the sofa to open it.Inside was a diagnostic report. Even though she already knew what it would say, her heart still trembled slightly as she read it.It stated: A large shadow was found on the left side of the stomach, suspected to be a tumor, with signs of metastasis.Clinical diagnosis: Stage 2 stomach cancer. Long-term medication recommended. Follow-up scheduled for one month later.She took out the medication inside. It was different from what the doctor had prescribed last time, but the labels all indicated anti-cancer drugs.Just then, Julian—who hadn’t been home for several days—came back. He glanced at Autumn sitting on the sofa opening the package.But it was only a glance. He headed straight upstairs without sparing her another look.Even though she had long accepted that Julian no longer cared, the memory of what they once had still stirred a wave of grievance inside her.Autumn held the diagnosis in her hand

    Zoe was about to say more, but Autumn turned and headed upstairs, leaving her standing there, puzzled.After Autumn left, Julian also lost his appetite. He took a few bites, then got up and went upstairs.Hearing the sound of running water from the bathroom, he figured Autumn was taking a shower and went to the study to deal with work.Just as he entered the kitchen, his phone rang.It was Luna. He closed the study door and answered the call."My brother's really interested in the proposal you gave earlier. Do you have time to meet and go over the details?"Julian lifted a brow. "Where are you?""The usual spot."After ending the call, Julian draped his jacket over his arm and headed out.As he passed the bedroom, he saw Autumn blow-drying her hair. He paused for a few seconds but eventually walked away.Once her hair was dry, Autumn took her medication and quickly went to bed.She noticed Julian going out, but it had nothing to do with her anymore. Her only focus now was to eat an

    Ethan sounded a little apologetic. "I’m really sorry to bother you while you’re still resting.""It’s alright. I’ve rested enough. Go ahead."After listening to the issue, Autumn calmly helped him analyze the situation and even outlined several possible solutions.On the other end, Ethan suddenly saw the light and chuckled. "Autumn, I knew it. With you around, we can always count on getting things resolved."I can’t wait for you to come back. You’ll save us so much time—maybe we won’t have to keep working overtime.""I’m looking forward to it too."By the time they hung up, it was already past four. Without realizing it, they had talked about work for over an hour.Autumn opened her laptop. She hadn’t worked in three days, and her inbox was filled with unread emails.She carefully read through each one, replying one by one, making comments and notes when needed.Autumn approached her work with great seriousness. Every email received her full attention, and she made adjustments where
