My head buzzed. Late-stage liver cancer?My hands turned cold. I was concerned but never imagined it would be this severe. How was I going to tell her?I sat there blankly as the doctor talked about the treatment plan. He finally sighed and shook his head, saying there was little hope.I was no longer Grace's daughter-in-law, but she was still Ava's grandmother. She was the last person in the Murphy family who truly cared about Ava, and time was running out. All I could see was Ava tightly embracing Grace. After all, we had lived together for many years. No matter how she treated me, those memories of living together were good.I didn't even know how I left the doctor's office. If Grace hadn't seen me come out and called my name, I might have forgotten she was waiting outside."Chlo, what did the doctor say?" She stared at me intently, looking a bit worried."He didn't say much. I knew the doctor, so we talked for a while. You'll be fine. He gave you some medicine and advised y

Melanie rushed to the desk. "Chloe, what do you mean? What hospital? What did you do to her?"Everyone turned to me. It seemed they genuinely believed I had harmed the old lady.I looked at Matthew. "You'd better take these documents and consult at the hospital."I dug through the papers for the doctor's card and handed it to Matthew. "This is the attending physician, a specialist. If you have any questions, you can ask him. Your mother was diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer."The news shocked everyone as a collective gasp filled the room."What did you say?" Matthew stood up in disbelief. "What? Who... Liver cancer?""Chloe, you're creating trouble out of nothing. She was perfectly fine, and here you are, cursing her." Melanie was relentlessly shouting at me. Then she turned to Matthew. "You believe whatever she says? She's up to no good!"Matthew regarded me with suspicion."Believe it or not, I've already taken her to see the doctor and got her prescribed medication. I

“You’re going off the rails, Chloe!” Melanie retorted, “You no longer have a say in my family!”“Yes, I’ve cut ties with your family,” I admitted, then turned to Matthew to continue persuading him, “Everyone here should know how our marriage ended, right?“I could’ve ignored your family’s troubles because even your mom watched you assault me without interfering. Your whole family is heartless and selfish.”The crowd exchanged glances, and even Keegan looked at Matthew disdainfully. Meanwhile, Matthew appeared helpless as I continued, “Your mom’s condition saddens me. That’s why I took her to the hospital. I don’t have time to ‘sow discord’ like your wife said.“Melanie thinks I want to return to your family? Yeah, right! I want to thank you for cheating because it allowed me to escape your family. I’m lucky to be far from disgusting monsters like you. I pray my daughter doesn’t end up as ungrateful and heartless as you.”“That’s enough!” Matthew looked at me and slumped into his c

Lauren comforted Ivanna, “You shouldn’t worry about such things because it’s his family’s business. You’re better off ensuring your safety. You must learn to put yourself first, which is the best way to support Jared. It’s evident he cares about you.”I added, “Ivanna, you’re my constant concern because Trinity is formidable.”Suddenly, Ryan called. I quickly realized I never told him what had happened since returning because I was worried about Ivanna. I answered his call softly, “Hey, Ryan.”“You’re back?” Ryan sounded calm.“Yeah, Ivanna had a little accident, so I rushed back,” I explained, “Have you returned from Solaris?”“What happened to Ivanna?” Ryan became alarmed.Ivanna gestured for me to keep our conversation discreet, so I said, “She had a minor issue, but we helped her solve it. I’ll return to the office tomorrow.”“Perfect. Things went smoothly in Solaris, and I’ve been back for a few days. I’m considering taking Elanor to the construction materials exhibition ne

Atlas noticed my hesitation and looked at me skeptically, asking, “What’s wrong? You don’t want to?”Since I had to devise an excuse, I said, “Ava should spend more time with Grace. We can discuss moving to your place later, but Molly can stay here for now since I have many rooms downstairs. I welcome them here so Ava and my mom have company.”Atlas smiled and said, “Sure, we should let Ava spend time with her grandmother. We can always decide on moving later.”After dinner, we snuggled on the couch and enjoyed our rare peaceful time together. We discussed our time in Celestis Island and were about to call my mom and the others when the doorbell rang.We smiled at each other, wondering who it could be this time. I quickly got up and checked the peephole, feeling frustrated when I saw Matthew through it. It seemed I could never get rid of this thorn in my side.However, I felt at ease with Atlas around. I pressed the button to open the apartment door, and Matthew appeared shortly a
