All Chapters of My Fake Cancer Exposed Their Greed: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

My name was Aiden Carroll, and I got lucky and won 20 million dollars in the lottery.As soon as the money arrived in my bank account, I quit my job as a programmer at a huge company and immediately made appointments at the hospital for the next day to receive treatment for all my ailments.When my aunt, Jessica Davidson, bumped into me at the hospital, I had only just finished receiving my cervical traction treatment and was struggling to get back to my hospital room as I held myself up against the wall.My face was sallow, my back was hunched over, and my hospital gown was as wrinkly as a rag.Meanwhile, Aunt Jessica held her little grandson's hand as she stood at the elevator door, staring at me with her eyes wide open."Aiden? What are you doing here?""Some minor surgeries," I replied through clenched teeth.She gave me a quick once-over, opened her mouth to ask me something, but thought better of it and kept quiet.I didn't have the strength nor energy to continue with th

The next morning, Austin came to visit me at the hospital first.He wore a Patagonia down jacket, the one I bought for him last year while it was on sale, and sat down next to my bed. The first thing he said was, "Aiden, since you're not going to be using your Tesla anymore, you can consider transferring the ownership to me first. I need it to go to work.""Who told you to come here?" I asked."Mom did. She said it's a waste to just let the car sit there anyway."He then scrolled on his phone for a while afterward before asking me, "By the way, is your job position available now? I just connected with your HR manager on LinkedIn. Help me put in a good word on my behalf.""What job position?""Your backend architecture job. You're not going back to work anymore, are you?"I didn't say anything and just stared at him for a long time. He continued scrolling on his phone again as he said nonchalantly, "Also, you're not using your stock account anymore, so just send me your password

The person Aunt Jessica mentioned arrived at 10:00 am the next day. She led him in, and he was dressed in a suit and carried a briefcase with him.He handed me his business card first.It said that his name was Craig Smith, and he was the Deputy General Manager of Healthway Medical Technology Group.He didn't ask about my condition. He didn't ask me whether the cancer cells had spread. He didn't even bother looking at the monitor connected to my body."Let's get straight to the point, shall we, Mr. Carroll?" he said instead. "At the moment, our company is expanding, and we need a vice president cum legal representative to join us. All you have to do is invest 10,000 dollars in our company and sign these papers."After this, the annual dividends will be deposited into your mother's and brother's accounts accordingly."I stared at his business card for at least three whole seconds.This was the first time we were meeting each other, and he was already asking me to be his vice pres

I sent Brenda a text message the next day before dawn."I want you to spread two rumors for me."She replied almost immediately, "Two?"I typed, "First, say that a specialist came from the State Oncology Hospital to consult with me and said that my cancer was treatable and not terminal after all."Second, say that we're together now, and make it clear that you're the rich one."Brenda called me up instead. "Are you sure, Aiden?"I chuckled. "Yeah. I want to see them change their tune again. When they thought I was dying of cancer, they schemed against me and coveted my assets. But now, my cancer was treatable, and I found myself a rich girlfriend. What do you think they're going to do now?"There was a short silence on the other end of the line. Then, Brenda laughed."How did I never know that you were this cunning in the past, Aiden Carroll?"…Brenda began spreading the rumors on her Instagram post.She posted a photo of us holding hands in front of a black Rolls-Royce. Th

Two days later, the atmosphere in Carroll Manor was loud, bustling, and exciting. By evening, the huge dining table was piled high with drinks and dishes of all sorts.Aunt Jessica had brought barbecued ribs, Lana had brought her fried chicken, Aunt Ruth's mac and cheese balls were glistening, and Uncle James had brought two cartons each of wine and beer.Everyone was grinning from ear to ear as they talked about "luck", "blessing", and how "relieved" they felt.However, I saw everything.When I entered through the front door, I saw a few of them hurriedly stuffing their masks inside their pockets. Some of them subconsciously shifted their arms when they walked past me. And there was a huge bottle of hand sanitizer in the center of the yard, and whoever walked past it would keep using it to sanitize their hands."Aiden's here!"Everyone got to their feet at once.Aunt Jessica was the first one to approach me. She smiled so widely at me that all the wrinkles on her face could b
