All Chapters of She Played Sick, I Played Along: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Hazel Zimmerman held my hand affectionately outside the courthouse and said softly, "You'll be free if I don't return from seeking medical treatment abroad this time, Brandon. If I do manage to get better, we'll remarry."If I hadn't personally overheard her the day before, I probably would have been crying my eyes out at that moment.It was then that a luxury car honked repeatedly behind her, as if trying to rush her. She suddenly let go of my hand and said, "I have something to take care of first, so we'll talk about this later, Brandon."She rushed toward the luxury car after saying that.I caught sight of the person sitting inside as soon as she opened the passenger door, and it was none other than Nathan Chapman—her childhood sweetheart.It was then that two transaction notifications popped up on my phone, with one for two plane tickets to Iskelund and the other a reservation for a hotel where one could watch the aurora, complete with a king-sized bed.Hazel didn't know that

That doctor stood in front of me, absolutely furious. "How can she be so callous? What kind of wife refuses to believe her husband is sick? I'm going to call her again. That surgery can't take place without a signature."There was only a busy signal from the other end, and no matter how hard the doctor tried, the call wouldn't go through again.That doctor tried calling more than a dozen times until someone walked into the hospital room and said, "That cornea from the donor has already been transferred to another hospital. There was an emergency with another patient, and the surgery is already underway."I froze while the doctor gritted their teeth in frustration. "That absolute monster!"They then turned to look at me and said, "You can rest assured that if there's another donation, I'll contact you right away, Mr. Hunter."I nodded and thanked the doctor, feeling a suffocating tightness in my chest that made it impossible to breathe. I couldn't help but wonder why Hazel would do

Hazel finally understood the source of her unease. She gripped her phone in disbelief, her eyes turning completely bloodshot. "W-What did you just say?"Upon sensing the change in her expression, Nathan tugged at her arm, asking, "What's the matter, Hazel?"Hazel unexpectedly yanked her arm away from Nathan's grip and snapped, "Scram!"She held the phone tightly and yelled at the person on the other end of the line, "Go on—repeat what you just said! What happened to Brandon?"Jennifer repeated herself, "Mr. Hunter cried himself blind over your illness. He sold all his shares and left—his whereabouts are unknown, Ms. Zimmerman."Hazel's phone fell and shattered on impact. She staggered backward and nearly fell. "T-That's impossible! He was perfectly fine before this! How could he have gone blind?"Nathan gritted his teeth, completely consumed by jealousy. He thought that if it hadn't been for me, he would have already won over Hazel completely. He couldn't help but wonder why I al

I was stunned. I never expected that this was what had been bothering Queenie. "How long have you known?"Queenie replied, "I found out about it yesterday. Hazel returned, came to the hospital to find me, and coughed up a mouthful of blood in my office."I realized then that the troublesome family member Queenie spoke of yesterday was actually Hazel. I pondered it for a while and realized that these past two months had allowed me to adapt to life without her completely. I had actually forgotten about her for a very long time and hadn't even thought of her once.I chuckled lightly and joked with her, saying, "I won't make a point of seeing her. After all, as you know, I can't really see anything these days anyway."Queenie didn't laugh this time. She stated solemnly, "I'll definitely restore your sight."I found the emotional gravity of that statement exceedingly profound, making me hesitant to reply. I could only chuckle softly and thank her for her promise.Queenie visited occ
