Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 551

Chapter 551

But Charlotte’s offhand remark became the final straw that broke the camel’s back. Ethan felt as if a knife had been driven straight into his heart.

“Charlotte, my mom treats me well! I lost my parents when I was young. If she hadn’t given me everything, I wouldn’t be living the life I have now. She may be strict with me, but she’s taught me a lot.”

Charlotte had intended to leave, but Ethan, like a cat with its tail stepped on, kept shouting at her. She couldn’t help herself and stopped.

“Clarice is good to you? Ethan, aren’t you just fooling yourself? Not everyone who feeds you is your mother. Growing up by her side-were you really happy?”

She despised this kind of childish argument, and her tone turned sharp before she realized it. Besides, there was no need for her to be polite to Ethan now.

She truly hadn’t expected him-usually so shrewd-to be so pigheaded about something like this.

If he stayed with his mother for benefits, that would at least make sense for someone like him.

But if it was out of gratitude… forget it.

Ethan had no answer. She struck precisely where it hurt most.

With abundant material comfort and an unmatched social status, he was nearly a winner in life-except for emotional fulfillment. But life was never perfect, was it?

“What would you know? You can’t understand my happiness.’

He paused, already losing the upper hand in momentum.

Charlotte didn’t argue further. She gave him a cool glance and cut the conversation short, yet her silence only drove Ethan deeper into self-doubt.

Charlotte’s rental apartment was small, and after Christopher moved in, there was even less space for Ethan to sleep. She had planned to make him leave once he had rested enough, but Christopher kept pleading and even made a pallet on the floor himself, insisting Ethan take the sofa while he slept on the ground.

Charlotte was utterly helpless. Ethan’s skin was thicker than city walls-since Christopher asked him to stay, he accepted without a shred of embarrassment.

In truth, both of them understood that if Ethan went home now, he would be punished. And after he had just joined Charlotte and the others in opposing Clarice’s lackeys, there were surely many eyes watching him

outside.

Charlotte had already made up her mind: tomorrow she would look for a new place. This apartment was no longer safe, and she couldn’t stay here anymore.

Elsewhere, at dusk, Central Hospital.

“Is conservative treatment very risky?”

In the empty office, it took a long time before the man’s voice finally broke the silence. Only one specialist sat across from Nick.

They both wore grave expressions as they studied the test results on the desk-though the doctor’s was heavier still.

Before receiving the report, he had been fairly optimistic. Nick was usually in good physical condition, healthy in every respect. A tumor seemed unlikely; perhaps it was just a false alarm.

But after the biopsy, the severity far exceeded his expectations.

The shadowy mass had been confirmed as a gastric neuroendocrine tumor. Although it was classified as low- grade malignancy and had not yet metastasized, the risk was high. Without aggressive treatment, it could worsen in the later stages.
