It was almost ironic. Luke went to visit Esmee, but in the end, he was the one who had to be carried out of the ICU. Grandma was also at this hospital, and the Sanders were with her, so they quickly rushed over when they got the news.
I followed Luke to the emergency room without a hint of concern. After all, he deserved it. A man like him should suffer.
In truth, I didn''t want him to just die. He and Anna should feel the kind of pain I went through-at least a hundred times before they could die.
When Luke was wheeled out, I noticed my mother rushing forward, her face full of worry. "Doctor, is my son-inw okay?"
She nervously looked at Luke like he was her son.
The doctor adjusted his sses and reassured my mother, "Don''t worry, madam. Mr. Bolton is slightly malnourished and fainted from exhaustion and stress.
"Stress? I heard he passed out while visiting a patient in the ICU," Anna said, cutting straight to the point as soon as she arrived, unlike my silly mother.
The doctor avoided discussing anything unrted to Luke''s condition. He handed over the examination report. "I can''t say for certain. My responsibility is only Mr. Bolton''s physical exam. While he did faint due to stress, we''ve checked his stomach and kidneys." "Is there something wrong?"

"Well, there''s something unusual in his stomach area, but it''s unclear whether it''s a polyp or a tumor. rmend further testing, including a detailed gastroscopy and biopsy. If it''s a tumor, we need a biopsy to determine if it''s benign or malignant." Anna''s face showed her worry. "What do you mean by that?"
"Has the patient had any stomach issues?"
"He asionallyins of stomach pain."
"It shouldn''t have developed in such a short time. His kidneys also need closer examination. At this stage, suspect early kidney failure."
Anna''s expression changed drastically. "How can that be? He-"
She stopped herself, and the doctor looked directly at her. "You''re Mr. Bolton''s wife, right?"
"No, I''m his sister."
"It''s the same to tell you. You need to get him a full physical exam as soon as possible. He needs to focus on his diet and rest. He should avoid overworking, smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods." 1/3From N?velDrama.Org.

Noticing Anna''s distress, my mother tried to ease the situation. "Don''t worry. The doctor hasn''t confirmed what that shadow in his stomach is yet."
In a bad mood, Anna didn''t want to engage with my mother and simply said, "I''m going to check on Luke."
My mother muttered, "He''s not even your real brother. Why do you care more about him than when Chloe went missing?"
She followed Anna into the room, quickly adopting a worried expression. "Luke, are you okay?"
Luke looked agitated, constantly swiveling his head. "Can you all see her?"
My mother froze. She was as superstitious as Grandma.
Hospitals were the kind of ce where ghosts could appear.
If it weren''t for Grandma, my mother wouldn''t have stepped foot in one.
She instinctively rubbed her arm, embarrassed. "Luke, what are you looking at?"
Anna handed him a ss of warm water. "Luke, the doctor said you''ve been overworking. You need to rest. You probably have illusions. It''s okay. Just get some rest.
Luke stared nkly ahead. "No, I''m looking at Chloe. Can''t you see her?"
Anna''s hand shook, spilling the water. She quickly set the ss down and wiped the spill with a tissue.
"Luke, what are you talking about? Chloe hasn''te back," Anna said, trying to hide her growing panic. My mother chuckled. "You must miss her a lot. The doctor said you need to eat better. Let me peel an apple for you." No one took Luke seriously. He seemedpletely broken, his eyes unfocused, and he spoke in a chilling
tone.
"Esmee said Chloe died on our wedding night. She saw her body. Chloe had a serious injury to her waist and bled heavily."
Anna''s hand shook again as she wiped up the spill. "Luke, stop saying such things. It''s too frightening! Wasn''t Ms. Myers traumatized?"
"Yes, Luke, don''t say that," my mother added.
Luke ignored their reactions, continuing, "She was kidnapped on the ship that night and never made it to the police. How could she know Chloe''s wedding dress was shed by a de at the waist?" you?"
"She must have been traumatized and talking nonsense. You don''t believe the words of a crazy person, do
Luke turned slowly to my mother and said, "But she also told me that when she was hit by the car and thrown into the air, she saw Chloe"

My mother''s face went pale, goosebumps spreading across her skin.
"No, this is too crazy. It can''t be true," she replied, her voice shaky. 70%

Luke gestured, saying, "She said Chloe was right beside me. She was wearing a white dress, barefoot, glowing. Do you think it''s possible Chloe has been dead for a long time but has been with us all along?" As he spoke, my mother identally cut her finger with the knife, and blood started to drip out.
The knife and apple fell to the floor, the apple now stained with blood. It rolled to Anna''s feet.
Luke stared at the apple, speaking in a low, eerie voice. I once dreamed Chloe was decapitated. Anna, do you think her head was also cut off like this apple?"
"Ah!"
