Medical Memes

A medical report shows me my husband's true colors. I've been diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer. Yet, my husband gives our life savings to someone else. I lunge at him to take my anger out on him, but he shoves me to the floor. "Lillian needs the money to open up a shop, you madwoman! So what if I've given her the money? "You have late-stage stomach cancer, so it's the end of the line for you! Why are you trying to compete with someone who has a long life ahead when you already have one foot in the grave? You can't expect Mom and I to lose everything because of you, right?" I sit dazedly on the floor. I've never found him more unfamiliar. After that, I sneak all my wedding gifts out, wanting to sell them for money. However, I'm told they're all fakes. My husband sneers. "I'm glad I had the foresight to switch them out for the real deal. You would've taken all the money if not for that!" Later, the hospital called to say there was an issue with their system. The names on the medical reports were wrongly indicated. I ask my husband, "Why are you competing with someone who has a long life ahead when you already have one foot in the grave?"

Three years after I died, Stella, my wife, decided to divorce me and marry her dying ex. She stormed into my old house like she owned the place, forcing me to sign the divorce agreement. Mom told her the truth—I was already gone. Stella rolled her eyes. "Why's he still pretending? Harvey's dying. I just wanna be there for him. What's so wrong about that? If he won't come out, I'm done paying your medical bills." She thought threatening Mom would shake something loose. But what Stella didn't get? Mom had already stopped treatment. She was just hanging on to watch her crack.

One night is all it takes. Si Celeste Ramirez ay isang nurse na tutok sa trabaho at walang oras para sa kahit anong abala—lalo na sa pag-ibig. Pero sa isang medical conference na puno ng alak, musika, at kasiyahan, nagising na lang siya sa isang hindi pamilyar na kama, walang saplot, at walang maalala,maliban sa mapusok na init ng isang gabing kasama ang lalaking hindi niya kilala. Ilang araw ang lumipas—dalawang linya sa pregnancy test ang bumungat sa kanya. Wala ito sa plano niya. Wala siyang balak maging ina. At lalong wala siyang ideya kung sino ang ama ng dinadala niya. Handa na siyang tapusin ang lahat ng tahimik at walang komplikasyon. Pero sa mismong clinic kung saan siya magpapalaglag, isang pamilyar na mukha ang sumalubong sa kanya—ang bagong doktor na hahawak sa kaso niya. Ay ang lalaking kasama niya sa gabing iyon. Ito na kaya ang ama ng kanyang dinadala? O may mas higit pang rason kung bakit sila muling pinagtagpo ng tadhana?

“Give me your hands,” he ordered, coldly. I froze, watching him loosen his tie as he walked closer. Something about him felt… off. Mean. Distant. My throat went dry, but I gave him my hands anyway. He gripped my wrists—tight enough for my pulse to throb under his fingers. He wrapped the tie around them and pulled, dragging me up the bed like an animal on a leash. My back hit the headboard. Before I could react, he tied the other end of the tie to the frame. Then he reached for the veil on the nightstand. “What are you doing?” I asked, heart racing. He didn’t answer….just placed the veil over my head like I was a doll. “Making sure I don’t see your face and wish it was hers,” he said, unbuttoning his shirt. I blinked. “Hers?” He leaned in. His jaw clenched. “Your twin sister,” he said. “I wanted her. Not you.” His words felt like someone yanked the floor right under me. “I should be with her,” he added cruelly. “Loving her. Worshiping her. Not stuck with a knockoff pretending to be my wife.” I couldn’t breathe. My hands fought the tie, but it was useless. I was trapped, veiled and bound. Lucian didn’t want me.
