Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 1050

Connor eyed Maddie, suspicion flickering in his gaze.

"Why are you telling us all this? After all these years as a mole by my side, Maddie, why should I believe anything you say?"

Teddy stayed silent, his expression a tangle of emotions as he watched Maddie.

She let out a slow breath. “Because I'm dying. There's an old saying-when someone's on their deathbed, they tell the truth."

Teddy's face went white. He grabbed her arm. "Amelia, what are you talking about?"

Maddie's voice was barely above a whisper. "Anyone who joins the Nightshade Organization gets injected with a special drug. It makes your cells multiply out of control unless you get a suppressant shot every year. If you skip it, your body starts breaking down. Stomach cells? You get stomach cancer. Brain cells? Brain cancer. The rest is just luck."

She poured herself another drink, her hand steady but her eyes distant. "My luck ran out. I've got late-stage lung cancer. The suppressant doesn't work for me anymore. The doctors say I maybe have a year left. So, with whatever time I've got, I'm going to live for myself.”

Connor's brow tightened, doubt still written all over his face.

Maddie gave a wry smile. "If you still don't believe me, we can go to the hospital tomorrow. I'll prove it."
