Payback Ch 30 Novels & Stories

She smiles hopefully. I shake my head. “I love you, but I hate handouts. You know this.” “This isn’t a handout; you can pay me back when you get back on your feet. I know that with your divorce, your joint accounts would’ve been frozen, and you didn’t work for over a year. Think of this as a long-term loan.” She smiles. I think it's over.

The results of the medical check-up were exactly the same as the previous one. Another month later, Ethan went for his third follow-up. The blood clot compressing the optic nerve had dispersed. He could now perceive another's figure. The doctor said he could soon see again. Meanwhile, I was diagnosed to have contracted end-stage lung cancer. The cancer had spread across half of my lungs.

Those who were shocked by what I said looked at Rachel with envy. What a lucky girl! Even though she was not their real daughter, she still got all their love. But they were confused.
