Not long after, I was shocked to hear the bad news that my future mother-in-law's old illness had recurred. However, fate did not show her mercy, and this time it was a malignant disease. The doctor told me solemnly that she had not much time left, and she would not live more than three months at most.

Then, Julian went through a lot of trouble to send me a message, expressing his wish to meet me. Thinking that my mother's revenge had not yet been avenged, I suppressed my disgust and decided to keep the appointment.

As soon as he saw me, Julian burst into tears and said with a sob: "Joyce, I'm sorry for what happened to you in the past. Now, can I ask you for a favor? My mother is in the hospital. Can you help me contact a specialist for her like you did before? I admit that I'm a bastard and I'm sorry, but my mother doesn't know about it."
