Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 1

He pulled all sorts of tricks to marry me.

He asked me why I did not care or feel jealous about it. With a smile, I looked at him. "I'm already dying anyway. What does it matter?"

Patrick tried to comfort me. "There's still hope if you have surgery now and undergo chemotherapy periodically."
