---
When Autumn finally opened her eyes, the sharp, sterile scent of disinfectant hit her like a slap. Her head felt heavy, her limbs weak, and the pale morning light creeping through the hospital window told her dawn was just breaking. She turned her head with great effort, and then she felt it—a gentle hand pressing against her forehead.
"Good, the fever's gone. You scared the hell out of me."
It was Selena's voice, trembling with relief and lingering fear. She sat beside Autumn, her eyes red-rimmed from a sleepless night.
"Luckily, I'd had a few drinks last night and called you to come pick me up," Selena explained, her words tumbling out in a rush. "When you didn't answer, I got worried and said I'd go check on you. I didn't expect you to actually be sick. You were burning up and kept crying out in pain. I asked where it hurt, but you wouldn't respond. I was so scared, I called an ambulance right away and brought you to the hospital."
Selena's mind replayed the horror of the previous night: barging into Julian's house, the housekeeper's shocked face, and finding Autumn barely conscious, sobbing and moaning in pain. The housekeeper had frantically tried Julian's number over and over, but he never picked up. Never once.
The more Selena thought about it, the more her blood boiled.
*That bastard—sneaking off to be with his mistress while his wife was burning up and nearly dying—and he couldn't even bother to answer the phone.*
Autumn stared at Selena, her scalp tingling with a different kind of fear. Did Selena know about her cancer? The thought made her palms sweat. She prayed her best friend hadn't discovered that devastating secret.
The aftermath of the fever left Autumn completely drained. Her eyelids felt like lead, and her lips were cracked and dry. She managed to whisper, "I want some water."
Selena sprang into action, pouring a cup, gently helping her sit up, and feeding her a few sips. The warm water soothed Autumn's raw throat, but her energy remained depleted, her expression weak and hollow.
After setting the cup down, Selena tucked the blanket around Autumn and let out a heavy sigh.
"After I got you to the hospital, I called Julian using your phone. Want to guess how he reacted? That bastard actually said you were faking again and told you to stop causing trouble, or else he'd make you pay for it." Selena's voice rose with indignation. "Unbelievable! What kind of husband says that? You were unconscious with a high fever, and he thought you were pretending?"
She ranted on, unable to contain her fury.
"Just because he's messing around with Luna, he thinks he can treat you like this? It's disgusting. I swear, if I could, I'd go punch him in the face right now. He's infuriating!"
Finally, Selena looked down at Autumn—and was shocked to see her calm expression. No tears. No rage. Just a quiet, weary acceptance.
Autumn's voice came out hoarse and sharp: "Our divorce cooling-off period is almost over."
The meaning was clear. They were about to divorce. Whatever Julian did no longer mattered when it came to her heart. But when it came to her interests, she would fight him to the end. She refused to believe someone who'd done so much wrong could stay lucky forever, never slipping up.
Selena took Autumn's slender hand, then suddenly gasped. "Autumn, have you not been eating at his place? You've gotten so thin!"
Autumn instinctively pulled her hand back, but relief washed over her. From Selena's reaction, it was clear her friend still didn't know about the stomach cancer. Good. She didn't want too many people to know—it would only make them worry.
Just then, a young emergency physician knocked and stepped inside. When he saw Autumn awake, he smiled slightly.
"You're awake. What's your temperature now? Has the fever gone down?"
Selena turned to him, her worry evident. "Her fever broke, but she still seems really weak. Could there be something else going on?"
The young doctor adjusted his glasses, his expression turning serious. "There is something else..."
His words hung in the air like a thundercloud, heavy with unspoken truth. Autumn's heart began to pound. She knew what was coming. The cancer. The diagnosis she had tried so hard to hide from everyone, including Selena.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
Oh, my dear readers, my heart is racing! This chapter was a rollercoaster of emotions—from Selena's righteous anger to Autumn's quiet, heartbreaking resignation. The raw contrast between Julian's cruel indifference and Selena's fierce loyalty cuts deep. And just when we thought the chapter would end with a sigh of relief, that cliffhanger from the doctor sends chills down our spines. Autumn's secret is about to be exposed, and I can already feel the tears coming. This chapter deserves nothing less than...
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
I predict the doctor will reveal Autumn's stomach cancer diagnosis right in front of Selena, shattering her best friend's world. Selena will be devastated, perhaps even blaming herself for not noticing sooner. Meanwhile, Julian will remain obliviously tangled with Luna, but this revelation might finally push Autumn to take drastic steps—and could even force Julian to face the consequences of his neglect when the truth eventually reaches him.
