Chapter 266

Early the next morning.

Elodie got ready quickly and headed straight to the hospital.

She had a full day ahead.

In the morning, she'd be undergoing chemotherapy and finalizing her divorce. In the afternoon, she'd arranged to meet Joseph, who was bringing along his doctor friend.

Her first round of chemo was scheduled for 8:30.

Before that, she stopped in to see her primary physician.

She needed to confirm the details of her surgical treatment plan.

When the doctor saw Elodie, she couldn't help but frown, glancing down at Elodie's chart with a sigh. "Just turned twenty-five... so young. The uterus is so important for a woman. I really hope you'll think this through carefully."

She was clearly reluctant for someone so young to undergo a hysterectomy.

Most women Elodie's age hadn't even married or thought about children yet. What a waste, the doctor thought.

But Elodie understood the compassion behind her words. She managed a gentle smile. "It's alright. I've made up my mind."

The doctor hesitated, then asked, "Are you married?"

Elodie lowered her gaze, rubbing her cold fingers before answering with a faint smile, "I'm getting divorced today."

The doctor paused, surprised.
