Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 15

The next morning, Allison left for an overseas conference.

When Ella called, Stephanie couldn’t help but smirk. “Tell your cousin to stay fat for a little longer. Allison’s gone. She’ll be out of town for about a month.”

Ella sounded surprised. “How do you know that? Did she call you?”

Stephanie: “Yeah, she called me at 1 AM last night.”

Ella let out a small laugh. “She called you at 1 AM to tell you her schedule? Is she crazy?”

She knew doctors had weird hours, but 1 AM? That was a new level of bizarre for Allison.

Stephanie laughed, “Actually, she called about Olivia.”

Ella was intrigued. “Olivia? What happened to her?”

Stephanie paused, and then she replied, “She got admitted to the hospital last night. Apparently, she’s got a bunch of diseases.”

Ella’s voice immediately shifted, a mix of shock and confusion. “A bunch? How many? What kind of diseases?”

Stephanie filled her in on everything she knew, and Ella was stunned.

Just yesterday, she’d seen Olivia and Chris at a gynecology clinic, and she’d assumed it was because Olivia was pregnant.

Turns out, it was because she was seriously sick.

Stephanie recalled what Allison told her yesterday. “Uterine cancer, heart disease, and I think liver cancer too.”

Ella gasped, her voice shaky. “What… how does she have so many diseases? And uterine cancer? How does that even happen?”

Like Stephanie, Ella seemed to think uterine cancer was something that came with an indulgent lifestyle.
