‘Terminal lung cancer?’

Zac looked at the doctor in disbelief. “Are you sure?”

“Yes.” The doctor paused and said with a frown. “And she needs a gastric lavage.”

“A gastric lavage?” Zac froze again.

“Yes, she had food poisoning and also ate half a soap bar. And not only that, but she was in the sea the other day too.”

The doctor appeared to be unable to bear it any longer. “Sir, the patient might not even have six months left to live if we don’t do anything.”

Zac’s heart shuddered. “Got it. Don’t tell anyone yet.”

“Okay, I’ll ask the nurse to take your blood.”

Zac nodded and followed the nurse into a side room.

He did not know much about Olivia, but she was still in her late 20s. Was she not too young to have terminal lung cancer?

However, after considering what John had done to her in the past two years, it did not seem impossible.

‘But what has Olivia been made to go through the last few days?

‘How did she get so hungry that she ate soap?’

It was early the next morning when Olivia woke up.

The birds chirping outside the window made everything seem like an illusion, including those three nightmarish days.

Zac had planned to leave after giving his blood, but he relented and stayed when the doctor said she would have less than six months to live.

Olivia struggled to sit up when she Zac. She was slightly surprised. “Mr. Quinton?”

“Johnny had something to do last night, so he asked me to stay with you. Would you like some water?”

Zac was very different from John, even though they were buddies.

One was indifferent, while the other was gentle.

Zac had always been cordial and soft-spoken, or at least Olivia thought so.
