As soon as the doctor left, Kirsten wailed with watering eyes and a running nose.
Eileen said, "Don't cry. You make me nervous."
Kirsten answered, "I don't want to cry, but I can't control myself. How can it be cancer? What are you going to do? Everyone said good things happen to good people. That's bullshit! Good people are being bullied, while bad guys get their way!"
"Now, now, don’t cry. What if Brad comes i n?"
Only then did Kirsten stop sobbing.
"Does Brad know it?"
Eileen shook her head. "No. 1 haven't told him."
Kirsten’s mind was in a whirl. "What about Luke?"
Eileen fell silent.
Seeing her expression, Kirsten understood. "He doesn't know it either?"
"No."
"Tell him. He's your husband. Besides, Luke is powerful in Lanechett. Maybe he can help you get the best treatment."
Eileen replied, "He hates me. Even if I die i n front of him, he'll be indifferent.”
Kirsten didn't believe it. "You haven't even tried it. How can you be so sure?"
"I've been married to him for eight years, Kirsten. No one knows him better than me.” Kirsten was speechless.
"Yesterday he and I were supposed to go to the Civil Registry Office to get a divorce, so I asked you to look after Brad," Eileen said calmly.
Kirsten was shocked, unable to react.
She came out of her trance after a while, saying in a huff, "Just divorce him! I've detested that jerk for a long time!"
Eileen didn't speak.
Her face was gloomy and unreadable.
Outside the ward.
Worried about Eileen, Brad only slept for half an hour.
He rubbed his eyes, walking towards the ward.
As soon as he walked around the corner, he saw a tall and familiar figure.
