Sabrina finally made it to the hospital. Too terrified to step outside during the day, she waited until nightfall, disguised herself in a maid's uniform, and sneaked out huddled in the trunk of a car.
She loved her daughter more than anything. Even in the dead of night, she kept her sunglasses and mask plastered to her face, terrified of being recognized.
Their house's exterior was already plastered with rotten eggs. If someone spotted her in public, she would undoubtedly become a human target.
Later that evening, Bella's test results came back. The doctor worked overtime to deliver the news immediately.
"What? Early-stage breast cancer? That's impossible. I feel completely fine. I'm just a little sleep-deprived.
How could I possibly have this?"
She knew exactly what this diagnosis meant. It was a potential death sentence.
And the treatment was brutal.
It might even leave her physically incomplete.
She knew she wasn't drop-dead gorgeous like Lillian, but she had her own striking appeal and stunning curves.
That was exactly why older, powerful men had favored her when she was young, allowing her to build her wealth early on.
But now...
The doctor's tone was incredibly soothing, trying to cushion the blow. "Ms. Ward, I know this is a massive shock.
But the silver lining is that we caught it in the very early stages. There is plenty of time.
If you adhere to the treatment plan, we can even explore conservative therapies..."
Bella took a slow, deep breath, forcing herself to maintain her composure. She raised a hand, gesturing for the doctor to leave the room. She needed a moment.
The nightmare was just too cruel.
She didn't want to hear about treatment plans right now. She didn't care.
She sat frozen on the hospital bed, her mind spinning violently.
A million thoughts crashed over her at once.
