The Treatment Process_1

Las Vegas, Nevada:

Following their much-anticipated tour, Jake intended to pop Emily's romantic interest in marriage when they returned to Las Vegas.

He made a grand preparation, ensuring that it was Emily's dream marriage propo al. Her cousin and best friend Eve Young helped a great deal in making it happen...Unfortunately, Emily, with a sad heart, declined Jake's proposal and disclosed that she was terminally sick.

"I'm sorry, Jake, but I can't accept your proposal knowing I could die anytime and leave you with a broken heart. I'm so sorry! However, thank you for letting me cross off one of the biggest items on my bucket list. Thank you!"

Overwhelmed by feelings, Jake lost control of his annoyance and blurted out the truth—unbeknownst to her, they had already been lawfully married on her 21st birthday.

"Why, Emily...?"Why didn't you inform me earlier? We could look for a treatment." His voice was raspy and racked with pain.
