Semua Bab I Gave Her My Cancer, She Begged for My Forgiveness: Bab 1 - Bab 8

On the way home, I felt completely numb, as if I’d lost my soul.I didn’t have children yet. I hadn’t been able to care for my parents in their old age or see them through their final years. There were still so many things I hadn’t had the chance to do.Why had my wife delayed my treatment?Why had I been struck by this disease when I was still so young?I was furious and ready to confront my wife, but she wasn’t home.With nowhere to vent my anger, I could only curl up on the stairwell and smoke one cigarette after another. It wasn’t until the floor was littered with cigarette butts that I finally managed to calm down.“Where are you, sweetheart? When are you coming home?”My wife, Emily Whitaker, hesitated on the phone.“You’re back from your business trip? It’s my best friend’s birthday today. I’ll be home late tonight.”Since marrying Emily, she’d stayed home for years while we tried to start a family.To give my wife and our future children a better life, I traveled for

“Cancer is a bottomless pit. Instead of thinking about how to provide for your wife, you’re actually pressuring her like this. How could you?“If I were you, I’d take some sleeping pills and quietly end things without becoming a burden to anyone. Leave the house and whatever assets you have to your wife. That’s what a responsible man would do.”Ryan spoke with such conviction that Emily looked at him with undisguised admiration.Then she turned to me with nothing but contempt.“You’re both men. Just look at him, then look at you. How can the difference be so huge?”Easy for him to say when he wasn’t the one dying.If Ryan were really that selfless, why would he team up with Emily to transfer his stomach cancer to an innocent man like me?I sneered.“So you really like him that much?”Ryan frowned before Emily could answer.“I’m just Emily’s classmate. I happened to run into her mother and came along to check on her. Don’t make wild accusations just because you can’t keep your

I shrugged. “Who knows? Maybe you’ve done so many terrible things that karma finally caught up with you.”Emily immediately tried to slap me.But she wasn’t my wife anymore. I had no reason to keep putting up with her.I raised my hand and caught her wrist.“Pick someone else to throw a tantrum at. Do you really think I’ll keep tolerating you as I used to?”She flinched, clearly startled.Then she turned to Ryan with tears in her eyes.“Baby, please take me to the hospital. I’m scared.”Ryan looked lost in thought, as though his mind were somewhere else. It took Emily several calls before he finally snapped back to reality.“Don’t be scared, baby. I’ll take you to the hospital right now.”He helped Emily up and shoved past me, knocking his shoulder against mine.As our eyes met, he glared at me.“Watch your mouth. You’d better pray nothing’s wrong with Emily, or I’ll make you regret it.”I casually brushed the loose hair from my forehead.“Mr. Mitchell, you should worry a

I had to admit, Emily had actually figured out the truth.But there was no way I was going to admit it.“Emily, if you think something’s wrong with your head, go see a psychiatrist. Stop snapping at people like a rabid dog.”But Emily refused to let it go.“If you didn’t transfer your cancer to me, then how do you explain the fact that you had stage-two cancer but still looked healthy and full of energy?”Everyone around us stared at me with keen interest. They were all patients themselves. If they really believed cancer could be transferred, I wouldn’t be surprised if they kidnapped me or even cut me open to study me.A shiver ran down my spine.“The stomach is closely affected by stress and emotions. Once I got away from you and all the bad luck you brought into my life, I started eating and sleeping better. I was in a much better state of mind, and with proper treatment, naturally, my condition improved.“Medicine has come a long way. If cancer is caught and treated early, t
