To convince ir, the nurse took out her medical examination report, which was different from the one ir had previously received. "See for yourself. I''m telling the truth. Your disease requires immediate treatment. I came here to ask whether you want us to inform your family about the examination result or if you want to do this all by yourself. To be honest, Mrs. Li and Dr. Li knew that you had cancer from the beginning. They only yed along with you, hoping that it would help you ept the truth as you go through this dark phase of your life. Colonel Li is already aware that the three of you were working together to trick him."


    ir was dumbfounded. She just stood there for a moment, staring at the nurse. "Even if I… Even if I do have cancer, why do I have to go to another country for the chemo?" Chemotherapy was avable in her country. ir didn''t understand why she had to go abroad for the treatment. She didn''t want to leave the country again. She didn''t want to go away from Wesley again.


    "Your doctor works there. He is the best in the world," the nurse replied softly. She stared sympathetically at ir, who was on the brink of tears.


    "I don''t believe this!" ir blurted out, grabbing the nurse''s cor. "This can''t be happening. I need to hear the truth from my attending physician." She was desperate.


    "All right, okay. I''ll go and get her. Wait here," the nurse said, freeing herself from ir''s tight hold. She rushed out of the ward to get the doctor.


    A whileter, Zaria walked in. She looked at ir and sighed deeply as she said in a sad tone, "It''s true, ir. But please don''t worry too much about it. The cancer is still at an early stage. There is a huge probability that you will bepletely cured."


    ir cried, for real this time.


    She was dying…


    She would be forever separated from Wesley.


    In the hallway, Wesley silently listened to her crying. After a minute, he dialed a number and ordered, "Ask Ga toe to the in-patient department of the military hospital."


    When Ga arrived huffing and puffing, Wesle


    ce, Ga held Wesley''s arm. Clearing her throat, she said, "Wesley has been waiting for me. Now that I''m here..."


    ir got her point without her having to finish. She watched the two of them standing together. Dressed in their uniform, they looked like a couple in matching clothes.


    That day, when they had saved her from those kidnappers, they had worked together as a perfect team. Back then, ir had realized what kind of woman deserved Wesley—a strong-willed and capable heroine, like Ga.


    When Ga had first walked into the ward, ir had wanted to thank her for saving her life. But the cold situation deprived her of that chance.


    ir fumed at the pair. She grabbed a pillow and tossed it at Wesley. "You are such a cruel man! Get out of my face! I don''t want to see you anymore!" Her rtionship with him hadsted only a few days.


    She was being dumped and also had to digest the fact that she had cancer. ir felt her world copsing.


    Wesley and Ga made their way towards the door. ir added in a cold tone, "If you break up with me, I''ll go to the army base and let everyone know how you toyed with me!"


    "Whatever," was all he said.


    They left without turning back. ir wailed, burying her face in the covers.


    When they were in the hallway, Ga let go of Wesley''s arm and sighed, "If you really like her, you shouldn''t be doing this."
