Chapter 4 Author: Skytree In the hospital room, my consciousness returned. The first thing I saw was Lilith Sinclair's anxious face. She had been my best friend in college. Back then, she strongly opposed my relationship with David. She said throwing myself into that relationship would not end well. We once promised to be each other's bridesmaids, yet she did not show up at my wedding. I should not have disturbed her again, but I truly had no one else I could trust. "Didn't you say you were the happiest woman in the world? How did you end up like this? Where are your husband and daughter? Why did the doctor say you're dying?" questioned Lilith mid-tears. Tears slid from the corners of my eyes, but I still smiled. Lilith always had a sharp tongue and a soft heart. Maybe she was the only one in this world who truly cared about me. I tried to speak, but I was too weak to make a sound. I motioned with my eyes for her to bring me my bag. She pulled out the agreement from inside and skimmed it. Her tears began to fall again. "Jasmine, this can't be real! You're not going to die!" She collapsed beside me, sobbing without control. I glanced at the clock on the wall.
