Chapter 21

To prevent her condition from deteriorating further, Ryan scheduled the first round of chemotherapy for the day after tomorrow.

Chemotherapy has many side effects. In the first two weeks after undergoing chemotherapy, the body becomes extremely weak, and hair loss is common. Aveline needed to make arrangements for her affairs

in advance.

Anthony showed no signs of regaining consciousness. Fortunately, she didn’t have to worry about medical expenses. After paying a certain amount of money, she returned home.

The house, originally meant for her and Alexander, reminded her that she would soon be moving out. She was worried that her body wouldn’t be able to endure the chemotherapy, so she had called a moving company in advance.

Her best friend, Maya Anderson, had also arrived. She was dressed in formal attire, carrying a bag, wearing high heels, and holding two roasted sweet potatoes. She rushed over in a hurry.

From a distance, Aveline heard her loud voice, “Aveline, you’re finally escaping from your misery! I just received my commission from selling a house last month. I’ll treat you to a night at the Ivy Vibes Club. These three–legged frogs are hard to find; men with two legs are everywhere.”

Maya had been away traveling for the week that Aveline had been missing, unaware of her health condition. She thought Aveline had finally come to her senses about getting a divorce.

Aveline smiled and said, “That won’t work. I’m afraid your husband will fly over to hold me accountable if he finds out you went to the Ivy Vibes Club tonight.”

“Let’s not talk about it. I no longer believe in true love in the northern hemisphere. I wanted to surprise him, but guess what? He took the commission he earned, and he’s using it to support another woman.”

Maya cursed and tears couldn’t hide her pain. Seven years of love had ultimately died due to the long–distance relationship.

Aveline wanted to comfort her, but she realized her own marriage was in shambles, and she couldn’t

save others.

“With your temper, aren’t you causing a huge scene?” Aveline asked.

Maya pulled her to sit in the garden, and she handed Aveline one of the roasted sweet potatoes. Then, she
