The Borrowed Tomorrow Chapter 11
Jeannie stared at me with wide eyes, disbelief written all over her face. "You... You called the police on me? Carson, I'm your fiancée! How can you be so heartless?"I stood up and walked over to her. "You're not my fiancée. For the sake of your first love, you treated me like a tool you could use whenever you wanted."The officers stepped forward. With a sharp click, the cold handcuffs locked around Jeannie's wrists. "Jeannie Cooper, you're under arrest for the theft of important medical property. You'll need to come with us."The two officers pulled her to her feet. She struggled desperately and twisted around to glare at me. "Carson! One day, you'll regret this! I swear I'll never let you get away with it!"I stood where I was and watched as she was dragged out of the office. "Don't worry. You'll never get that chance."…Elliot died a week later.His body had deteriorated so badly that there was hardly a patch of healthy skin left. He died in extreme pain, struggling for br

Jeannie finally snapped. With a scream, she lunged at Elliot and wrapped both hands around his throat."I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you, you monster!"Elliot was weak, but the instinct to survive gave him one last burst of strength. He drew back his leg and kicked her hard in the stomach."Get off me!"Jeannie crashed to the floor. Her head struck the sharp corner of the bedside table, and blood immediately streamed down her forehead.Elliot pointed at her while gasping for breath. "Leave your gold necklace and watch behind! I still need to buy painkillers!"At that moment, a nurse walked into the room holding a lab report. The sight of blood on the floor and the two struggling patients startled her."Jeannie, your test results are back." The nurse placed the report at the foot of the bed and hurried out to call security.Clutching her bleeding forehead, Jeannie crawled toward the paper. She picked it up with trembling fingers. [HIV Antibody Screening: Positive

Elliot's vital signs were barely stabilized, and he was transferred into a negative-pressure isolation room.Holding a diagnosis report stamped with the official seal of the Centers for Disease Control, I stepped out of the resuscitation room.Jeannie was crouched in a corner of the hallway, trembling uncontrollably. The moment she saw me, she rushed forward as if I were the last lifeline she had left."Carson! How is Elliot? He's going to be okay, right?"I handed her the report. "See for yourself."With shaking hands, Jeannie took the thin sheet of paper. Her eyes fell on the test results: [HIV-1 Antibody Confirmatory Test: Positive. Absolute CD4+ T-Cell Count: 12/μL]The evidence was undeniable. There was no room left for excuses or denial.Jeannie's legs gave out beneath her, and she collapsed heavily onto the floor. "It really is... AIDS… He really has AIDS..."She muttered the words over and over, her eyes empty and lifeless. Then, suddenly, she snapped. Like a madwoman,

"You have to be lying! Elliot couldn't possibly have a disease like that!"I straightened the sleeve Jeannie had wrinkled while grabbing me. "Whether I'm lying or not, just go back and look at the rash on his body. That's not a rejection reaction. It's Kaposi's sarcoma, the most classic complication of advanced AIDS."After saying that, I ignored her completely and headed for the elevator. Behind me, I heard the sound of Jeannie collapsing onto the floor. She did not chase after me again. Deep down, she knew better than anyone how terrifying those purple-red lesions on Elliot's body really were.Back in my room, I received a call from the department director."Carson, things online have taken a turn. Several girls who were scammed by Elliot have come forward. They've provided transfer records and even filed reports accusing him of deliberately spreading sexually transmitted diseases."Public opinion is shifting now. The pressure on the hospital has eased a lot."There was obvious

"That 500,000 dollars is already gone! Elliot's condition is worsening day by day, and his treatment costs a fortune! Give me the money from selling the apartment right now, or I'll sue you in court!"Without saying a word, I pulled a thick file from my briefcase. Then, I tossed it onto the table in front of Jeannie with a sharp smack. "Before you sue me, take a look at this."Jeannie froze. Suspicion flashed across her face as she picked up the file. "What's this?""It's a record of your innocent first love's hotel stays and bank transfers over the last few years." I leaned back on the couch and watched her expression change. "Page after page of hotel records with different women. There are also receipts showing him buying luxury gifts for them."Your Elliot isn't some pure-hearted romantic. He's a professional player who makes a living scamming women out of their money."The color instantly drained from Jeannie's face. Her hands began to tremble as she stared at the rows of ugly
The Borrowed Tomorrow Chapter 6
The next morning, I woke up in the king-sized bed of my luxury hotel suite. The sunlight streaming through the window made for a beautiful scene.However, I knew Jeannie's day was definitely not going nearly as well. The side effects of the X-40 anti-rejection targeted drug usually began to appear within 24 hours of injection.Judging by the timing, Elliot should have been wishing he were dead by then.As expected, that was exactly what was happening.Back in the apartment that had once been our future home, Elliot was writhing in agony on the stifling bed. With the water and electricity cut off, the entire apartment felt like an oven. However, that was not even the worst part.Large patches of dark purple-red blotches had begun spreading across his skin. The high fever had left him drifting in and out of consciousness.Jeannie was in complete panic. She kept wiping his body with a damp towel, but the blotches only grew denser. Some had even begun to ulcerate."Elliot... Don't s
