Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife novel Chapter 1

“Ms. Larson, you have stage three lung cancer. You have less than six months left to live.”

‘Lung cancer?’

Olivia Larson’s pupils constricted. She was only 27 years old. How could she have terminal lung cancer?

Her hands shook in disbelief. “Doctor, are you sure?”

“Are you Olivia Larson?”

She nodded blankly.

“Then, yes, I am sure. I know you’re still young, so this is hard to accept, but this is no mistake, Ms. Larson.

“You have a small chance of survival if you’re hospitalized, so I recommend you be immediately admitted.”

‘Admitted?’

Olivia lowered her head and read the lab results several times over. The words ‘third stage lung cancer’ pierced through her heart.

She was still so young. How could she have terminal lung cancer?!

Three years ago, she was the young miss of the Larson family of Ocean City and the aloof and cold Mrs. Freeman. Things were the same now, but the people around her had changed.

Now, she was going to lose her life as well.

What sins had she committed in her past life?

Why was God treating her this way?

Olivia did not know the answer to these questions.

She rejected the recommendation to be admitted. Her cancer was already terminal, so why bother?

She walked out of the hospital with her head muddled. She went through the motions mindlessly, not knowing what to do.

Two years ago, she had experienced a miscarriage. It was raining cats and dogs, but John Freeman locked her outside the villa, leaving her trapped in the rain the entire night.

She might have gotten lung cancer from that experience.

She wandered aimlessly, not realizing how long she had been walking for. Suddenly, she heard the faint sound of crashing waves. When she lifted her head, tears welled up in her eyes.

This was the beach where she had met John four years ago.

She stopped in her tracks. A movie seemed to play: she saw herself and John from four years ago. However, it was distorted and fragmented, and John was staring at her coldly and hatefully.

What had made everything the way it was today?

She grasped the lab result in her fist as she felt her heart tighten.

Perhaps this relationship should end, just like her life was going to.

She walked down to the beach, then bent down to remove her shoes and socks before stepping into the freezing water. As she stood there, a thought rushed into her mind.

‘Why don’t I get a divorce?’

To love was to let go. Since he despised her so much, why not just get a divorce and give him his freedom back?

She would also be freed too.
