Chapter 14 % Edgar Today , I had to accompany Grace to the hospital for an examination and a DNA test to confirm whether the child she was carrying was mine I never expected to see Sharon here .
Its been nearly two months since our official separation , yet I still havent come to terms with it Two months since I last saw Sharon at that café near her company with the same man who now stands before me again Who exactly is he ? Why does he seem so close to Sharan ? I know Sharon well .
She has always been wary of strangers , yet her interaction with Nathan back then , and now suggests an undeniable familiarity Did I miss something ? Were here for our babies routine check up , Nathan said casually , a smug edge to his tone Shes carrying twins .
Isnt that wonderful news ? % My jaw clenched .
Babies.I Sharon was pregnant With his children .
I stared at her rounded stomach , my mind racing .
Before I got caught up in wedding preparations with Grace , I had seen Sharon often -though always under unexpected circumstances .
But I never noticed any changes in her .
Or was I too focused on Grace to realize ?; Six months .
Thats a long time .
We were officially divorced three months ago .
Doesnt that mean Sharon was already pregnant while she was still with me ?? With Nathans child ? x What the hell is this ? You act like the victim , I scoffed , my voice dripping with contempt .
But youre no better .
My gaze flicked to Nathan before landing on Sharons stomach .
You even got pregnant with him ? I shook my head , unable to believe what I was seeing .
Youre disgusting Sharon .
Absolutely disgusting Her fists clenched at her sides , but she said nothing .
A part of me a desperate , pathetic part hoped she would deny it , that she would say the baby she was carrying was mine But her silence spoke louder than words .
Grace is better than you , I sneered , the bitterness in my tone surprising even myself .
I dont regret leaving you , Sharon .
I had wanted on apology from her , something to soothe the sting of our past .
Now, I was grateful There was nothing left for me to seek from her .
Without another word , I grabbed Grace by the arm and stormed out of the cafeteria , my emotions threatening to spiral out of control .
But despite knowing that Sharons baby belonged to Nathan , there was no sense of relief My chest felt heavy , as if a boulder was crushing it .
A suffocating lightness settled in a feeling I couldnt quite name .
Edgar , can you slow down ? Graces annoyed voice pulled me from my thoughts .
Im pregnant , remember ? I ran a hand over my face , finally realizing I was gripping her too tightly .
Sorry ) Grace sighed .
Are you jealous of Sharon and Nathans closeness ? I halted in my tracks , turning to glare at her .
Dont be ridiculous .
You were annoyed , she insisted .
I saw it .
Stop making baseless assumptions .
I denied it , but the tightness in my chest remained Grace , undeterred , pressed on .
You heard what Nathan said , didnt you ? Sharons pregnancy is even further along than mine .
Thats enough , Grace My voice was low, warning .
Our relationship wasnt wrong .
Edgar she continued .
Sharon betrayed you too .
I said enough ! Grace flinched at my sudden outburst , drawing the attention of the people around us .
Texhaled sharply lowering my voice .

Dont ever mention Sharon again .
Or I wont acknowledge the child youre carrying as mine .
X Tears welled in her eyes .
Whether they were from fear or a calculated attempt to gain my sympathy , I didnt care Come inside when its your turn , I muttered coldly Tll be waiting in front of the lab for the DNA test And dont even think about trying to sabotage anything .
Graces face paled , but I didnt care I left her standing in front of the examination room , exchanging a brief glance with Nathan before walking away .
I had no intention of engaging further .
I just wanted to get this over with .
!! But then , the dizziness returned .
The same dizziness that had been plaguing me for weeks .
!! Grace had urged me to get checked , but I brushed it off , blaming it on exhaustion .
Work had been relentless .
I convinced myself that was all it was .
A warm trickle slid down my upper lip When I wiped it away , my fingers came back stained with red .
Blood .
A sharp , searing pain exploded in my skull .
My vision blurred .
The hospital comidor swayed around me .
I barely had time to process it before everything went dark .
Since when did I fall asleep ? My voice was hoarse , my body sluggish as I tried to adjust to the harsh white light of the hospital room .
The pungent scent of antiseptic burned my nose .
I wasnt in my penthouse .
An IV line was taped to my hand .
I glanced around in confusion .
What happened to me ? Ah ! Youre awake , Mr.
Harrison , a doctor entered the room , glancing at the file in his hand before approaching my bedside : X Whats wrong with me ? I asked flatly cutting straight to the point .
I didnt have time for this .
I had a DNA test to take .
Grace Where was she ? !! A nurse found you unconscious in the hallway the doctor explained .
We conducted an examination , and the results- Tm just exhausted , I interrupted , unwilling to hear any more .
The doctors lips pressed into a thin line .
Im afraid its more than that .
He held out the paper in his hand .
I took it scanning the words written on it And the world tilted beneath me No.
No , this cant be right .
We detected cancer cells in your body , Mr.
Hamson , the doctor said gently .
Based on your history , these appear to be secondary cells likely remnants from your previous case The paper crumpled in my grip || No way .
!! No Thad already beaten this .
I had undergone surgery .
I had received a bone marrow transplant .
From Sharon This was over .
It was supposed to be over I dont believe this ! I snarled , hurling the paper across the room .
The doctor remained calm .
Tm sorry , Mr.
Harrison .
Well conduct further tests to confirm the diagnosis .
I shook my head violently .
No , no , no .
I was cured ! The doctor met my frantic gaze .
I understand this is difficult .
But we need to face this together .
Well do everything we can to help youz I couldnt breathe .
!! It felt like I was being dragged back in time to the days when my life revolved around hospitals , treatments , and the looming fear of death .
!! Back then , I had no will to fight … But then Sharon appeared The woman who barely knew me , yet still chose to save me .
And now , she is gone ! Sharon was no longer mine .
