“Enough, Lydia! She’s my sister.”
It was as if I had just heard the most ridiculous joke of my life.
“He’s your sister, and I’m your fiancée. Is this how you treat me?”
“How can you compare to her?”
Ryan’s words shattered me back to reality, destroying every hope I had left.
I refused to humiliate myself further and ran home, tears streaming down my face.
Of course, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Behind the seemingly glamorous proposal lay such a disgusting reason.

I wrapped myself tightly in a blanket, mocking myself as I thought:
“Well, maybe this is a good thing. If I can’t win his heart, at least I can have him physically. After all, it still looks good on the surface. Besides, Ryan has never treated me poorly.”
So, I resigned myself to becoming a puppet, a substitute. I took solace in the occasional bits of attention Ryan threw my way.
Seeing that I never brought up the issue again, Ryan became even more brazen about being with Nola. He even dared to bring her to our home, leaving traces of them everywhere.
But this time, I refused to endure it any longer.

Tears streamed down my face as I finally made the decision to end this marriage that had never truly begun.
After all, isn’t life something I have to fight for myself?
Ryan, seeing me cry on the bed, grew frustrated. He grabbed his hair and snapped angrily, “Stop crying. This time it’s my fault, but our wedding will go on as planned.”
Go on as planned? That was out of the question.
“Ryan, let’s cancel the wedding.”
I responded calmly.

But Ryan looked at me as if I’d said something
unbelievable.
“Cancel? Lydia, are you joking?”
He continued, “Let me remind you, playing hard to get doesn’t work with me. You know, there are plenty of women who want to marry me. I’m not tied to you.”
Indeed, he was always surrounded by a parade of admirers, while his heart seemed entirely consumed by Nola.
“There’s no playing hard to get. I just don’t want
to marry you anymore.
“I don’t love you.”

Ryan, enraged by my words, shouted, “Fine, fine, if that’s how it is, then the wedding is off. I’m curious to see how you’ll manage without
me.”
He stormed out, leaving without a second glance.
To this day, Ryan still sees me as nothing more than his captive lover that relies on a man to
survive.
Nola stands by, mocking me.
“Lydia, you’re really out of touch. By doing this, you’ll end up with neither money nor people. What’s the point?”
‘But thank you, Lydia, for making this possible. Now Ryan and I can be together and live

happily.”
With that, she grabbed her Chanel and, in her high heels, clicked away.
Little did she know, I had documented every move of theirs with complete evidence.
Ryan, wasn’t it your intention to ruin someone’s life to protect your dear sister?
Nola, wasn’t it your wish to live happily ever after with your beloved brother?
Well, just wait and see.
After they left, I began compiling evidence of Ryan and Nola’s deceit and anonymously sent it to Ryan’s rival.

It wasn’t long before I received a reply, and generously, they transferred fifty million to my
account.
Seeing the notification of the funds, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Wow, you’re in high spirits, even laughing so cheerfully despite your cancer diagnosis,”
Dr. Ethan joked with a smile, handing me a steaming bowl of oatmeal.
It only then occurred to me how hungry I was, having eaten nothing for days.
I eagerly scooped a spoonful into my mouth.
“Of course, after exposing those despicable people, I feel incredibly strong now. And I trust

Dr. Blair’s medical skills. I’m only in the early stages, so it should be treatable, right?”
I looked at Ethan with hopeful eyes, sensing that his heart skipped a beat under my gaze. He cleared his throat slightly.
“Uh, yes, absolutely. Haha, you should rest now. I’ll check on other patients and discuss your treatment plan with you tomorrow.”
With that, Ethan hurriedly left the room, closing the door carefully behind him.
Watching Ethan retreat, I couldn’t help but find it amusing.
Then, I closed my eyes and rested peacefully.
There were more battles to fight ahead.
