Three years into my cancer battle, my husband suggested I get my will notarized.
Two days before the notarization, he abandoned me on the highway to meet our daughter's yoga instructor.
As my stomach cancer flared up, he was busy making out with the female teacher in his car.
I begged the highway patrol to call him. When they got through, I heard a woman's passionate moans.
My husband answered the phone impatiently:
"I don't have time to deal with a sick person! Wait until she's dead, then call me to collect the body!"
The first thing I did upon waking up in the hospital was cancel my will notarization appointment.

I Battled Terminal Illness While He Flirted With a Dancer

"Mr. Shaw came to the company this afternoon and caused trouble, stabbing the boss."


The assistant's words on the phone left me unable to think straight.


At that moment, I realized I couldn't lose Lorne.


From childhood, he had been like my guardian angel.


I was used to enjoying the feeling of being cared for and supported behind him, and my feelings for him had long since changed.


But I was afraid of losing everything if I burst that bubble, afraid our relationship wouldn't last.

Lorne's injury made me realize I was no different from Alec.


Comfortably enjoying everything without being able to give him a commitment.

I ran into the hospital, praying that Lorne was okay.


As soon as I entered the ER, the chaos before me threw me off balance.


The assistant stood in the hallway, with a pool of blood at his feet.
