Chapter 44 Do You Miss Me

Edmond did not immediately agree to Melissa's request.

He lowered his eyes with a calm expression. But he said in a deeper tone, "The relapse of the old disease will progress faster than before, and the success rate of the surgery is not high."

Melissa pursed her lips and continued, "I will cooperate with the treatment, but I don't want Licia to worry anymore. She has suffered enough because of my illness."

She remembered that two years ago, when Alicia had learned of her illness, she had taken two part-time jobs the next day. She delivered milk before going to work and worked as a driver after work, sleeping less than four hours a day.

Still, the money she earned was very little.

Melissa's condition deteriorated rapidly, leaving Alicia with little time to earn money.

At one point, Melissa even wanted to give up treatment and die, but Alicia soon took her to the hospital with a check for one million dollars.

Melissa had doubts about the origin of the check, but Alicia refused to explain where it came from.

Until one day she found a contract in Alicia's closet...

"Edmond, Licia has never done anything for herself in her life. I don't want her to sacrifice for me anymore... Please promise me."

After reading the contract that Melissa handed over, Edmond tensed his jaw and lowered his eyes with a serious expression.

It turned out that many things were not as he had thought. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Alright."

...

After returning home, Alicia couldn't sleep and wondered if she should call Edmond. But when she picked up her phone and removed his number from the block list, she suddenly didn't know what to say.

Afraid he might be busy, she hesitated to disturb him.

It was one o'clock in the morning.
