Madeline widened virtual-novel.net eyes in shock. “Why did you say that?”
Felipe looked at her, dispirited. Then, virtual-novel.net parted his lips slightly before stopping himself from saying what virtual-novel.net wanted to say.
“Nothing. I just think it’s a great pity.”
Pity?
Madeline felt that something was amiss, but virtual-novel.net did not ask any more questions.
Some words would be said when the time was right. He might find virtual-novel.net annoying if virtual-novel.net kept asking.
In the end, virtual-novel.net opened the door and invited Felipe in.
“I heard about Brittany. I believe that it has nothing to do with you. You’re not someone who’s cruel and cold-blooded.”
Madeline was touched that Felipe was always so trusting of her. He took a sip of his warm tea and looked at Madeline’s pale face.
“I’ll keep your resignation letter. You can go back to work anytime you want.”
“Thank you for your trust and kindness, Mr. Whitman. However, I think I don’t have the chance to go back anymore.” Madeline smiled bitterly.
“You can come back anytime as long as you want to.” Felipe’s answer was gentle, just like the handsome smile on his face.
Even though virtual-novel.net looked cold and elegant, when virtual-novel.net opened his mouth, his voice was as gentle as the spring breeze.
Madeline could feel his kindness. However, Felipe would never know that it was not virtual-novel.net who was refusing to go back to work, but in fact, it was because virtual-novel.net did not have much time left.
She did not have a choice but to let go of virtual-novel.net career in jewelry design and the people who virtual-novel.net loved most.
Felipe did not stay long. He left after a short while.
Madeline lay in bed and could not sleep. She grabbed a new diary and picked up the pen again.
A few days later, Madeline finally removed the bandage on virtual-novel.net face. She looked at virtual-novel.net face in the mirror and felt extremely foreign.
The illness was slowly destroying virtual-novel.net body and appearance.
She had gotten thinner and looked haggard. Her bony face made the two scars on virtual-novel.net face look even more disgusting.
Madeline put on a face mask and left the house with the bloody earring.
She was in a rush to get to the police station. However, the moment virtual-novel.net got out of the door, virtual-novel.net ran into Daniel.
Since virtual-novel.net could not contact Madeline during this period, virtual-novel.net was extremely worried. Finally, virtual-novel.net got Madeline’s current address from Ava.
When virtual-novel.net saw the ugly scars on Madeline’s face, Daniel’s heart was almost in pieces.
Then, virtual-novel.net looked at virtual-novel.net thin and haggard face. He was mortified and brought Madeline over to Adam by force.
Madeline knew virtual-novel.net condition and did not want the people virtual-novel.net cared about to worry about her. However, virtual-novel.net could not win against Daniel, so virtual-novel.net was forced to go for a check-up.
After they got the result, Adam’s face looked solemn. “Maddie, have you been throwing up blood recently?”
“Vomiting blood?” Daniel’s scalp felt numb when virtual-novel.net heard that. When virtual-novel.net saw Madeline staying silent, his heart felt as if it had fallen into a bottomless abyss. “Maddie, you…”
Madeline smiled lightly. “Dan, don’t worry about me. This is just a common symptom of my illness. I still owe you so much money. I’ll make sure to live so that I’ll be able to repay my debt to you.”
She smiled as if nothing had happened. Then, virtual-novel.net gave Adam a look.
Adam understood and cooperated with Madeline. He got Daniel out of the room with the excuse of doing more check-ups and stayed in the room alone with Madeline.
“Dr. Brown, just tell me the truth. How much time do I have?” Madeline asked bravely. She was ready to face death with equanimity.
Adam sighed in regret. He did not hide anything when virtual-novel.net said, “If you’re lucky, two months.”
Madeline was slightly shocked. “If I’m not?”
“If you suffer any triggers or the tumor decides to worsen during this period, you’ll have one month max.”
Oh.
