Chapter 59 Humiliation


    I felt a stream of cold liquid flowing into the vein in my right hand, and the familiar smell of disinfectant filled my nose. I instantly knew I was in the hospital.


    Maybe it was all the stress from Casey''s situation, but my health had gotten worse. I''d get nosebleeds for no reason and faint without warning.


    No wonder the doctor insisted I always have someone with me. Without Casey, I right have died without anyone noticing.


    When I opened my eyes, I saw Casey sleeping beside me. I struggled to reach for a bottle of water, but arge hand quickly unscrewed the cap and handed it to me.


    Dorian said, "You''re awake? Do you feel unwell anywhere?"


    His big hand rested on my forehead, and the warmth from his palm made even the dizziness feel a little better.


    I took a big gulp of water and finally felt a bit more alive.


    Casey suddenly jerked awake, her hair aplete mess. "Ada, why did you faint again? Haven''t you been eating properlytely?"


    Her voice was so hoarse it was about to sound like an old man''s. I quickly stopped her from speaking.


    "Alright, if you keep talking, you''ll be the one needing an ENT doctor next. I''m fine. And besides, you know about the chemo.. "I suddenly stopped mid-sentence, eyes widening as I looked at Casey.


    Dorian was still here. I shouldn''t mention my illness in front of him.


    Casey smiled awkwardly. "He called when you fainted, and I panicked... Anyway, he knows."


    She lowered her head like a kid waiting to be scolded.


    I slowly turned to look at Dorian. His eyes were filled with sympathy, and something like pain.


    He said, "Why didn''t you tell me? No wonder you kept getting nosebleeds and fainting. Ada, do you still see me as a friend?"


    I didn''t know how to respond. The room fell into a heavy silence.


    Thankfully, the doctor came in just then, going over a few precautionary measures with me.


    He gave me a once-over and shook his head. "I''ve said it before. You''re underweight. You need to get proper nutrition."


    He continued, "I know it''s hard to eat sometimes, but you still have to try. You need to prepare for your next round of chemo,


    understand?"


    I nodded lightly. But deep down, I knew I really couldn''t eat.


    Dorian grabbed the doctor and asked anxiously, "Is the fainting caused by the chemo?"


    The doctor frowned at him, then nodded.


    The doctor said, "Your wife even went through surgery alone. No matter how busy you are, you should still take care of your family, understand?"


    Realizing the doctor misunderstood, Dorian didn''t bother correcting him. He just nodded repeatedly.


    Then he turned to me. "He doesn''t know?"


    I nodded. There was no point in exining.


    Dorian didn''t ask further. He just helped me get discharged and drove us home.


    Before leaving, he reminded me over and over to contact him right away if anything happened and made sure I had his number set as an emergency contact. Only then did he leave.


    Casey looked at his departing figure and sighed a little.


    She said, "You know, if you''d ended up with Dorian back in the day..."


    "Impossible." I denied it tly. There was no way I could''ve ended up with him.


    Back then, I loved Jude so much. I didn''t think I would love anyone else. But now, everything had changed.


    That afternoon, the HR department called Casey, asking when she could start. She looked at me, and I took the phone and told them we''d be there right away. This kind of thing should be done sooner rather thanter. After all, Jude might backtrack. That man has absolutely zero credibility now.


    When we arrived at thepany, I took Casey straight to Jude.


    He didn''t look surprised at all that we epted the settlement.

    He said, "If you agreed to settle, why didn''t you answer my calls? You did it on purpose, didn''t you? You wanted Vivian to suffer in the police station. Ada, I never thought you''d be so cruelt


    His voice was hoarse, and there were dark circles under his eyes. It looked like he hadn''t slept all night.


    I checked my phone. It had been on silent.


    Just as Casey was about to exin, I pulled her back. “Let''s deal with the paperwork first"


    Jude said, "Ada, you can go this far for your best friend, but why do you have to treat your husband like trash?"


    Jude suddenly stormed over, blocking my path.


    I looked at him, confused "I''m treating you like trash? Jude, don''t twist the facts"


    I continued, "Since we got married, how many women have you brought home? And how many times have you humiliated me for Vivian, your mistress?"


    "How do you even have the nerve to say I''m the one mistreating you?" I had more


    to say, but a sharp pain hit my chest, and I couldn''t be bothered to argue.


    I shoved his stunned figure aside. "If you want to save your precious mistress, transfer the money now. Otherwise, the


    settlement''s off."


    After we finished the paperwork, I sent Jude a message telling him to go to the police station.


    When we arrived, he had already picked up Vivian. She was clinging to Jude, crying like a child.


    She said, “Jude, why did it take you so long toe? I was so scared. I did all of


    this for you... for thepany. Why can''t Ada just let me go?"


    Jude gently stroked her back, full of tender affection.


    I looked at the scene in front of me and slowly smiled. It was perfect. Now maybe


    he really won''t refuse to divorce me.
