Report
I'm diagnosed with late-stage cancer after undergoing a pre-employment medical checkup. My husband says the medication for my condition is expensive. He also says it can only relieve my pain, not treat the cause. I only have a year to live. Upon my husband's pleading, I agree to do an IVF. I endure the pain and put myself through torture to leave him with a child. However, I overhear him saying the child growing inside me isn't mine—it's his and his lover's. He's the one who wants me dead!

A Cancerous Love Chapter 9
Hector immediately burst into a fit of rage. Having just been fired by the hospital, he could hardly believe that I was leaving him as well. I purposely struck him where it hurt the most.I sent Lucas to talk to him, but of course, he was against getting a divorce. Thus, I filed a lawsuit and awaited the trial. Since the case involved fraud and physical assault, I sued Yara as well. She would have to return every single thing Hector had given her. Realizing that I wasn't bluffing, he tried to gain my empathy by dragging his parents into this. He wanted to win me back. I was doing yoga when I received a call from his parents. They asked to talk in person, and I agreed. While Hector had wronged me, his parents hadn't. I owed them at least an explanation. We arranged to meet at a café downstairs. The moment we sat down, Maria took my hand and said, "Leah, you're kind—I knew it from the moment you married Hector. Fighting is inevitable in a relationship, but don't be so qu

Ian later took me to his apartment.As he stood at the doorway, I glanced around at the tidy apartment. "A-Are you leaving?" I asked.Shoving the key into my hand, he responded, "Do you want me to stay?""No… That's not what I meant," I stammered, blushing.He smiled and ruffled my hair. "Silly, you're always so easily flustered. This is my place. The security here is top notch, so you can stay here at ease. I'm going to my parents' place."Worried that I'd feel uneasy, he left quickly. I was still weak after childbirth. Apart from discussing the divorce details with Lucas at home, I rarely ever went out. Ian came by twice a day. Regardless if he was working or not, he would always deliver lunch to me. If he didn't have the time to make dinner, he would order takeout for me instead. In fact, he would also prepare breakfast for the following day.His attentiveness toward me left me flustered. In truth, I had no idea why but I felt like fleeing from his goodwill. I supposed

As Ian fast-forwarded the video, I saw Hector emerge from the police station. Though he was covering his head with his coat, the cameras still managed to capture his face up close. His parents hobbled behind him, their streaks of gray hair only adding to their innocent, pitiful appearance. "He's in big trouble right now. You're already aware of that, aren't you?"I remained silent. "Our department's going to have a meeting today," Ian continued. "Since he's quite popular online, it might be quite difficult to handle this issue."Thanks to Hector's good looks, he rose to fame quickly after shooting a short film. In order to improve the hospital's image and gain more fame, his account was promptly verified.Yet now, the doctor who had once represented a healthy lifestyle had become a criminal. The hospital's image was utterly shattered.Glancing up at Ian, I asked, "Are they going to deal with him soon?"Ian nodded. "The meeting is tomorrow."I frowned, figuring that I must
A Cancerous Love Chapter 6
I was quivering in rage. The urge to demand a divorce from him was overwhelming, but I knew I had to suppress it. Clearing my throat, I began, "I…"Before I could say anything, I heard Henry bellowing on the other end of the line. "You're neglecting our parents, yet you have the money to live in such a fancy house with your mistress! I won't leave unless you give me 200 thousand dollars!""Don't touch that!" Yara shrieked. "That's my most expensive bag!"Unfortunately, she didn't know Henry well enough. The more expensive it was, the better. He could resell it at a higher price. "Leah, get over here and clean up this mess!" Hector barked, his voice shaking with rage. I sneered and brought the phone closer to my face. "I just gave birth to your child and am barely hanging on in the hospital with IV drips."Henry's your biological brother—the same one you insisted on paying off gambling debts for, even after you got married."If he demands 200 thousand dollars, then give it
A Cancerous Love Chapter 5
After talking to my lawyer, I had another idea. Now that Hector had already bought the house and given the gifts to Yara, there was only so much I could get back. Of course, it would be best if they could return everything willingly. I spent an entire day mulling over this. If I simply asked Hector to pay me back, he would definitely ignore me. He might even chastise me for not contributing to our family. After all, he was a master at twisting the truth. I suddenly remembered the time I first married into his family. His younger brother had a gambling addiction that left their family drowning in debt. Up until last year, Hector and I had been paying off Henry Doyle's debts. Since Hector's entire salary and bonuses had gone to his family, I had been the one supporting both of us. I worked three jobs, struggling to save up my hard-earned money. Thus, I wouldn't just let Yara reap the benefits of my efforts. Having made up my mind, I picked up my phone and transferred so

By the time I woke up again, Ian was right beside my bed. I glanced up, noticing the expensive imported medicine hanging above my head. Ian quickly got up and asked whether I felt any discomfort. Realization dawned on me as I spotted the receipt peeking out of his coat. "Ian, I don't have the money to pay you now…" I croaked. A warm smile appeared on his face, despite his cool features. "I'm not asking you to pay me," he said. "Don't overthink."While he fixed the interval of my IV drip, he suddenly thought of something and glanced down at me. "Do you want to see your baby? I'll get the nurse to bring her here."I immediately jerked my head aside and frowned. "No."As though he understood my situation, Ian didn't pester me. "Sure. It's up to you."The last person I wanted to see was Hector and his mistress' child. I was just a vessel—barely considered her mother. The past ten months had felt like a nightmare, but at least it was finally over. "Actually, you don't

My blood ran cold. As I watched the two describe their future together, I couldn't stop trembling. Gazing at Yara, Hector crooned, "Darling, I'll take the baby with us after she's discharged. The three of us will stay in our new house—far away from this ugly pig."He talked about me as though I was already dead, showing not even a hint of respect for me. Yara giggled. "Oh, you know me so well! I'm still so young, after all. If my parents found out that I got pregnant before marriage, I'd be doomed."She chanced a glance at me and continued, "Besides, childbirth does a lot of damage to the body. Look at her—she literally aged ten years after giving birth. I wouldn't want that!"By the way, I told my parents that I'm getting engaged soon. So, you and her…"Hector glanced back at me and replied, "Don't worry. Although it's a shame that she's still alive, I won't be with her anymore. You're the only one for me."Entwined in each other's arms, they ambled out of my ward. Why were
A Cancerous Love Chapter 2
Ian's words lingered in my mind.My husband, who had been married to me for ten years, caused a scene at the entrance of my ward—all because my attending doctor, Ian, refused to let him hold the baby. "What's wrong with taking a look at my child?" Hector yelled. "Yara's waiting to hold the baby. I heard babies resemble the first person who holds them."I didn't hear Ian's response. Just then, Hector barged into my room and demanded, "Get up now and take the baby back home. Do you think we're that well off? Do you really think you can afford a VIP room?"Indeed, we barely scraped by. But I didn't have the strength to get up.Despite noticing my pallor, Hector continued, "Yara wants to see the baby. Let the doctor know, will you?"I widened my eyes. It hadn't even been a day since the baby was born, and she was being tended by the nurses now. Why should I let Hector's intern handle my baby? Was Yara someone important?Before I could ask, Hector saw the nurse enter with a few bo
A Cancerous Love Chapter 1
Just because Hector Doyle's true love refused to conceive a child, he used my body to bear their child. "It should be an honor for her to bear our child," he said. "At least she's of some use. So what if she dies? My client happened to give me a spot at a cemetery. We can just pick the best spot for her, right?"It turned out that cancer was never going to take my life—but that bastard was.…Tension hung thick in the operating room after what Hector said to the doctor. Wiping the sweat off me, the midwife sighed while shaking her head. The obstetric surgeon, who had been encouraging me, suddenly fell into a trance, as if reminded of something ghastly. Everyone looked grim, though I remained unfazed. As someone with end-stage cancer, I saw no point in saving my life. I forced a smile and wheezed. "Let's carry on. I can still do it…"Enraged, the surgical assistant next to me suddenly hurled the roll of bandage to the floor."That man is a bastard down to his bones. To th
