Chapter 14 Lillian has uterine cancer

Ethan rushed to the hospital. Earlier today, Lillian ankle injury hadn’t been severe. After a simple treatment, she was supposed to be discharged. But then, her condition took a sudden turn for the worse. By the time Ethan arrived at the emergency room, Susan was sobbing uncontrollably.
“Ethan, you’re here, Lillian she..”
Her voice choked up, and Susan couldn’t finish the sentence. She just kept crying
Ethan asked, “What exactly happened?”
Susan was too overwhelmed to speak.
Jonathan answered, “She’s in the emergency room now. They r
They ran several urgent tests just a moment ago.”
Susan wept even harder. “She has uterine cancer, heart disease, and liver complications too. What do we do? Why is her life |so miserable!”
Her voice was filled with sorrow for Lillian. Ethan’s expression darkened when he heard about the extent of her illnesses.
Susan sobbed relentlessly. “It must be because she didn’t take care of herself while she was abroad these past two years. That’s why she ended up with all these diseases.”
A person’s body was fragile, just one major illness could be life–threatening. Yet Lillian had multiple serious conditions all at once. Upon hearing that Ethan had arrived, even the hospital director showed up, bringing a team of specialists with him.
Ethan’s face was grim as he looked at the director. “I don’t care what it takes, you must cure her.”
“If you fail, you might as well shut this hospital down!”
The director Dr. Collins stiffened at the threat.
Standing behind the team of experts, Ryan silently scoffed. Lawless tyrant!
Stella was half asleep when her phone vibrated nonstop. She ignored the calls, declining them again and again. Finally, fed up, she picked up. “Are you guys trying to torture me with sleep deprivation?”
She had only dumped one lousy man today. Was that really a reason for all this harassment, call after call?
This was insang…
“Stella, it’s me.”
The voice on the other end belonged to Ryan. Her irritation vanished instantly. Glancing at the time, she saw it was already lam.
“You’re still at work?”
Ryan was usually swamped during the day, making him hard to reach. But staying up just to chat at this hour seemed a bit
much.
Ryan asked directly. “What’s going on between you and Ethan? Your wedding is in a week, why is he running around taking care of Lillian?”
Stella replied coolly, “Didn’t you see the news today?”
Clearly, he hadn’t

maller anymore.
“Lillian really got admitted to the hospital?”
Ryan confirmed, “Yeah, and her condition seems serious.”
Dragging a whole team of specialists out of bed in the middle of the night, that was quite the spectacle.
Stella asked, “What’s wrong with her?”
“Uterine cancer, heart disease, possible liver cancer, though they haven’t confirmed that last one yet.”
Stella immediately snapped awake.
“That many illnesses?
Ryan mused, “Karma, maybe?”
Stella didn’t hesitate. “Definitely!”
The heavens truly had eyes. Lillian was a despicable person selfish, manipulative, even murderous. Maybe this was divine. retribution.
“But uterine cancer… that’s an odd one,” Stella muttered.
She instinctively associated uterine cancer with older women, married women, or those with a questionable lifestyle.
Lillian wasn’t that old, so how did she end up with something like that?
Ryan hesitated. “Hard to say.”
“I do have medical ethics, so I won’t speculate recklessly. But just for you, I’m heading abroad for a while. I won’t be involved. in her treatment.”
Stella hummed in acknowledgment.
Ryan was a top tier gynaecologist, but there were plenty of other specialists. His absence wouldn’t make much difference.
Besides, he absolutely despised Lillian. After all, she had nearly killed Stella. Because of that, no one in Stella’s circle had any
fondness for Lillian.
