Beyond the Divorce

Melanie rushed to the desk.

"Chloe, what do you mean? What hospital? What did you do to her?"

Everyone turned to me.It seemed they genuinely believed I had harmed the old lady.I looked at Matthew.

"You'd better take these documents and consult at the hospital."

I dug through the papers for the doctor's card and handed it to Matthew.

"This is the attending physician, a specialist.If you have any questions, you can ask him.Your mother was diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer."

The news shocked everyone as a collective gasp filled the room.

"What did you say?"

Matthew stood up in disbelief.

"What? Who...Liver cancer?"

"Chloe, you're creating trouble out of nothing.She was perfectly fine, and here you are, cursing her."

Melanie was relentlessly shouting at me.
