In my previous life, I was a breast cancer patient. In this life, although my breasts have had so issues, they weren’t severe.
However, the results of my check-up suggested that things seed to have been getting worse. The doctor told to watch my lifestyle and mood and prescribed so dication. He recomnded I get regular check-ups in the future.
That situation really got down. I had been through the whole near-death experience before, so I was really sensitive to those kinds of issues. I knew! hadn’t been doing my best, not taking care of myself properly.
After leaving the hospital, I didn’t head to the office. Instead, I went back to the Terrace alone. I figured I needed so ti away from ho, just by myself.
Whether it was Damon or my mom, they would have only ssed with my head right now, making it impossible to suppress all those thoughts flooding my mind.
After making up my mind, I rushed ho, packed so stuff, and got ready to move out.
"Eliana, what on earth are you doing?" Mom was surprised to see with my suitcase, ready to leave.
"Mom, I’ve been a bit busy recently. I’m going to stay at the apartnt for a while. I’m all over the place right now. I don’t want to fight with you. Can you understand?" I said frankly.
As mother and daughter, it was important to have kind of honesty.
Mom turned pale instantly; she ca over and grabbed my hand, "Eliana, are you mad at ? Is it because I’ve been pushing you to consider Jones, and that’s why you’re mad at ?"
That was only part of the reason. The other part was that I just wanted so ti alone. Since Mom had Hannah to look after her, I didn’t need to worry too much.
I shook my head, "Mom, I’m not mad at you. It’s just that I’m not feeling too well recently. The doctor told to watch my emotions. I just want so peace and quiet."
Hearing that I was unwell, Mom panicked. She rushed to ask, "What’s wrong? Why didn’t you tell ?"
"It’s nothing major, Mom. Once I’ve cald down a bit, I’ll move back in." I said to Mom calmly.
That was about my health. Mom lost her pushy attitude for once. She nodded, but her eyes were a bit red.
I didn’t an to make her feel guilty or worried. I just didn’t want to hide anything from her, nor did I want to fight anymore.
Under Mom’s watchful gaze, I left ho without looking back.
Health is the foundation of life.
And I didn’t want to end up with a terminal illness like in my previous life.
After settling down in the apartnt, I gradually got used to living alone. I inford Luna and the others, inviting them over for a al. Only when I was having dinner and chatting with them did I feel relaxed.
They were all surprised to hear that my mom still wanted to be with Jones.
Luna didn’t approve of getting entangled with Damon again, but she also didn’t approve of having any involvent with Jones.
"Has your mom lost her marbles? Jones was so cruel to Scarlett. It doesn’t feel like sothing a normal person would do. I’m worried he’s still hung up on you and might do sothing chilling because he can’t have you."
Actually, there was no need to worry, because such a thing had already happened. I had been sched against by Jones.
He tried everything to create a rift between Damon and , but I didn’t appreciate his approach.
"Neither Damon nor Jones is right for you; consider soone else." Sofia shared Luna’s view. She even suggested, "Luna’s brother isn’t bad and he’s still single!"
Luna’s eyes lit up instantly, and she nodded vigorously.
I was a bit surprised. Nicholas was still single? Was he planning to stay single forever?
"Forget it. What’s so bad about being single? Do I really need to go through the hassle of love again?" I quickly waved my hands.
"True. Although I’m quite happy in my marriage now, I felt pretty free when I was single." Luna sighed, "You might as well stay single; just find soone with decent genes to have a kid. You can afford to raise one."
That made sense, but that was if I could actually have kids.
Speaking of having kids reminded of Snow. I wondered if she could help , but I was still a bit unsure about her.
Just then, Luna suddenly got up, covered her mouth, and ran to the bathroom. I quickly followed to check on her.
Luna was throwing up over the toilet. That scene was familiar.
Similar to pregnancy symptoms.
I counted the days. It had been over a month since I accompanied her to see Snow for dication.
"Luna, are you pregnant?" I asked in surprise.
"I’m not sure, but I’ve been feeling unwell these past few days. I’ll check when I get ho." Luna replied, looking a bit under the weather after she finished throwing up.
My heart clenched instantly. Could that have been the effect of Snow’s dicine?
If so, could she have solved my problem too?
Hope ignited in my heart; my previous doubts gave courage. Maybe for the sake of having a child, I should have tried to trust her.
After Luna went ho, I kept wondering if she was pregnant, until she called , her voice filled with joy, "I’m really pregnant! Dr. Snow is so amazing. I only took the dicine for half a month!"
At that mont, I was even happier than Luna.
"That’s fantastic, congrats! You finally got your wish of having a second child!" I congratulated Luna joyfully.
"That fool Mitch is over the moon. I have to go. I need to share the good news with my in-laws!" Luna hung up after she finished, and I took out the business card Snow had given . I hesitated for a mont and dialed the number.
Luna said before that she was hard to book, but as soon as I ntioned it, she agreed and let decide on the ti.
The day after tomorrow would be Saturday, so I booked it for then.
I just hung up the phone when I received a text ssage. It was from Damon, "The docunt is in Nancy’s office safe."
I was taken aback. I had seen Nancy a few tis recently, mainly for work related to Ethan . Our three companies were collaborating. So, it was inevitable for us to et.
I had seen a safe in Nancy’s office before, probably stuffed with so financial docunts. If I could get my hands on all of those, I would have been able to figure out what was really going on.
Damon and I were in a weird place right now. It was like we had gone back to the cold war, but we still touched base when sothing major ca up.
I replied to him, "Got it."
Then I had to figure out a way to get close to that safe and crack it open.
I thought Damon would go radio silent after sending that ssage, as that had been the trend lately. But out of the blue, he gave another ring.
