When I received the medical report at the hospital, I was stunned, as if hit by a bolt from the blue. The report only mentioned a common cold, not the “kidney cancer” that nearly shattered me two weeks ago! Realizing my cancer was just a misdiagnosis, I rushed home, eager to share the news with my boyfriend, Jasper. But as soon as I stepped out of the elevator and reached for my keys, I heard some muffled sounds from inside. Thinking it might be a burglar, I quietly hid around the corner, pulling out my phone to check the surveillance camera I’d recently installed. But as soon as I accessed the camera view, the scene made my eyes widen in shock, and I was furious enough to want to burst in. Jasper, usually so gentle and considerate, was stark naked, tangled with a woman whose face I couldn’t clearly see. It was appalling and shameless. As their movements became more intense, the bed shook even more, and I could faintly hear it from outside the door. Anger surged through me, and I instinctively wanted to rush in and confront them. But as I pulled out my keys, the woman’s sudden voice stopped me in my tracks. “Jasper, Nora is already in late-stage kidney cancer, so why hasn’t she handed over the company’s power to you yet?” “Can’t you think of a way to make her pass quickly? I don’t want to sneak around with you like this anymore.” Seeing the woman’s face on my phone screen felt like a stab to the heart. The woman entangled with my boyfriend was none other than my beloved cousin, Hazel! In the video, Jasper smiled as he wrapped his arm around Hazel’s bare shoulder, kissing her cheek with a smug look. “Don’t worry, I asked the doctor. Her illness won’t last more than six months. After that, she’ll be gone!” “We’ve endured this for so many years, a few more months won’t matter. It’s better to keep our hands clean.” “Damn, that annoying old woman is finally going to die. Once she closes her eyes, I can inherit all her assets!” “By then, don’t worry about Finn or the one you’re carrying. I can afford to raise ten or eight kids!” I opened my eyes wide and, after understanding his words, wished I could rush in and tear him to pieces. This bastard, deceiving me for love and money was one thing, but he even wanted to use my money to support illegitimate children! But the last shred of rationality suppressed all my impulses. Watching the cheating couple become more arrogant on the screen, I clenched the medical report in my bag and coldly curled my lips. You’re so eager for me to die, but too bad, I won’t fulfill your wishes. Because the one diagnosed with kidney cancer isn’t me. It’s you, Jasper. Earlier on my way home, I received Jasper’s medical report from the doctor. I was initially overjoyed at being given a new lease on life, but seeing my misdiagnosis and Jasper’s confirmed diagnosis extinguished my joy in an instant. Jasper and I were high school classmates. We started dating after graduation and have been in a long-distance relationship ever since. He wasn’t a gentle and caring boyfriend, nor was he very capable, but I inexplicably liked him. Even after my promotion, when I felt him drifting away, I tried hard to bring him into my company and move forward together. In the past two years, our relationship gradually cooled. Feeling he didn’t care for me as much, I considered breaking up. But just as I was about to address it, the hospital’s report came back. I was in late-stage kidney cancer, beyond treatment, just waiting to die. In my despair, I thought he would leave and seek new happiness. But to my surprise, upon hearing the news, Jasper became more serious than ever, comforting me to continue treatment and being more gentle and caring, seemingly more in love with me than before. I thought it was the impending separation that made him realize his feelings, and I was deeply moved. I even secretly drafted a will, planning to leave all my assets to him after my death. But fate didn’t follow my wishes. I won’t die, and his dream of getting rich is destined to shatter! After calming down, I hid around the stairwell corner and quietly called the police, saying there might be a burglary at my house. Then I posted in the neighborhood group, saying I snagged some discount eggs, a penny for twenty, but spots were limited to the first twenty people. Hearing this, the elderly neighbors in the group buzzed with excitement. In less than three minutes, a dozen familiar elderly neighbors were at my door. I patiently soothed them to not make a noise before I opened the door. I didn’t know whether the room had excellent soundproofing or the cheating couple was too absorbed in their activities, but even when I opened the door, they were clueless and made no sound. Seeing the scattered woman’s underwear on the floor, I screamed, pretending to just discover the situation, and rushed into the bedroom, kicking the door open. Jasper and Hazel were still in their own world, shocked by my sudden entrance, not even having time to put on clothes. The elderly neighbors behind me, initially there for the eggs, were unexpectedly caught up in this thrilling scene. More excited than me, they blocked the doorway. Hazel hurriedly covered her face, and Jasper turned pale, trembling as he tried to explain, “Nora, let me explain…” I shouted, “Explain what?” and slapped him hard across the face, leaving him with a bruised and bloody nose. “Jasper, I’m just diagnosed, not dead yet, and you’re already fooling around. Have you no shame?” “All those sweet words before, were they all an act?” “How much have I spent on you over the years, on LV belts and Hermès bags? Have I ever treated you badly, yet you do this to me, hiring a prostitute at home!” The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I slapped him several more times, feeling a sense of relief. Hazel, seeing I was ignoring her, tried to sneak out wrapped in her clothes, but a quick-witted auntie grabbed her, pulling off her mask. Her face revealed, everyone was stunned, and Aunt Zhang, who was closer to me, exclaimed, “Nora, isn’t this your cousin!” I snapped out of it, leaving Jasper wailing on the floor, and turned to kick Hazel, slapping her hard. “Well, what a pair of lowlifes!” “Hazel, I’ve never mistreated you all these years, yet you stoop so low as to seduce my man. Have you no shame!” The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. Seeing a flash of green on Hazel’s hand, I was even more furious, grabbing her wrist to show everyone. “Everyone, look closely. This tramp not only stole my man but also my jewelry!” “This jade bracelet cost me three hundred thousand, and I couldn’t bear to wear it myself. Yet she steals it!” “Every time she came to my house, something would go missing. I overlooked it for family’s sake, but this time, I must send her to the police!” Hearing my words, Jasper, who was initially trying to plead with me, changed his expression instantly. Despite being the cheater, he suddenly looked self-righteous. “Nora, do you really want to make such a scene?” “I advise you to stop! Don’t forget, you’re about to die!” “Do you want to die without peace, to be cremated and scattered?” Hazel, still clinging to Jasper’s arm, spitefully added, “Jasper, don’t mind her!” “This late-stage kidney cancer lunatic can barely live a month, so she can only flaunt here.” “When she dies, let’s see what she can do to us!” I coldly glanced at the trash couple, kicking them both in their chests, making them wail in pain on the ground. Scum, you could die a hundred times, and I’d still be here. Trying to mess with me, let’s see what else you’ve got! After the police arrived, I quickly explained the theft situation at my house. With the bracelet on Hazel’s hand and witnesses, she couldn’t deny it. If she didn’t compensate, she’d have to go to jail for a few years. Jasper got into trouble for aiding in theft too, and to avoid prosecution, he bombarded me with calls and texts, but I ignored them all. After busting the affair, I quickly fired him and warned security not to let him in again. With my irregular work hours, it wasn’t easy for him to waylay me. So when my mom called me to come home, I wasn’t surprised. I knew those two tramps must have gone to see her. Sure enough, when I got home, my mom was sitting in the middle of the sofa. All my aunts and uncles, even Hazel and Jasper’s parents, were there, playing with a five or six-year-old boy. Seeing me, everyone’s expressions turned sour. The little boy glared at me and quickly ran over, stepping on my foot, resentfully saying, “You’re the bad woman who broke up my mom and dad, you’re a witch!” Hazel pretended to scold him, “Finn, how could you be so rude?” But I could see her smirking. I was about to speak when my mom suddenly coughed, glaring at me unhappily. “Nora, I called you here today not for anything else, but because as your mother, I need to educate you properly.” As soon as I arrived, the atmosphere shifted. The little boy glared at me fiercely and, when no one was watching, ran over to stomp on my foot, angrily accusing, “You’re the wicked woman who broke up my mom and dad. You’re just a terrible person!” Hazel feigned anger as she pulled the child into her arms, chiding, “Finn, how can you be so impolite?” Yet, I could clearly see the smirk playing on her lips. I was about to respond when my mom suddenly coughed twice and stared at me with displeasure. “Nora, I called you here today because I’m your mother, and I need to set you straight.” “You’re terminally ill, yet you continue to be so arrogant, not even saving face for your own family. Isn’t this wrong?” “We’ve always been aware of Hazel’s situation, and I watched Finn grow up. Honestly, if I were Jasper, I’d also prefer someone like Hazel.” “Whether as a cousin or a girlfriend, since you’re dying, why not be more generous and let them be happy?” “Today, you should sign the letter of forgiveness. We’ll pretend none of this happened, and when you’re gone, you can rest peacefully. Otherwise…” “Otherwise what? Will you grind my bones to dust?” Staring at my mom’s harsh face, I couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, pointing right at her nose. “When you cheated on Dad and he caught you, making him so angry that he died, did you think about resting peacefully?” “For years, you’ve favored your brother, giving everything good to Hazel and her brother, never caring whether I lived or died. And you still have the nerve to call yourself my mom?” “Since middle school, you haven’t given me a penny. I’ve earned all my tuition and living expenses through my own work. Educate me? You have no right!”
