My husband's childhood sweetheart had a check-up at my hospital and was unfortunately diagnosed with cervical cancer.
After triple-checking, I took the report home to urge her to start treatment immediately.
Not only did she refuse to believe it, but she also wrapped her arms around my husband's neck and slowly sat on his lap, acting coy.
"Tiernan, is sister just bitter that she can't have children herself, so she can't stand to see me happy?"
My good intentions were completely disregarded. I looked at her provocative gaze and laughed bitterly in anger.
My husband, who usually dotes on me endlessly, furrowed his brow in clear disapproval.
What he said next left me frozen in place.
"Lacey, when did you become so vicious?"
"How dare you curse Scarlett with infertility."

After His Mistress Diagnosed With Cervical Cancer

I stood frozen in place for several seconds, unable to process what had just happened.


Until my memory froze on the last second before I fainted, when I heard the doctor say clearly: "The baby is out!"


I panicked and jumped straight off the bed.


The sudden movement caused the needle in my hand to shift, and blood started dripping steadily.


Tiernan rushed in at that moment to stop me, holding me in his arms and trying to calm me down.


"Lacey, be good and take care of yourself. Sweetheart is fine."


I didn't believe him at all. I grabbed Tiernan's collar and pulled him down to my eye level.


I was already anxious to death, but Tiernan was still moving at a leisurely pace.


One moment he told me to sit down, the next he told me to lie down.


Finally, I couldn't stand his dithering anymore and raised my hand to slap him across the face.


Tiernan held his cheek without any hint of anger, sighed, and sat down beside me.
