The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving

Evelyn had just left the villa and looked at the time-it was already 2:00 pm. It would take her approximately 40 minutes to get to the hospital, so she would arrive just in time.

Once she got into her car, she took another dose of medication, but its side effects were quite severe. She had recently begun experiencing intense dizziness after consuming her medications.

She had to talk to her doctor to come up with a proper treatment plan.

After she had managed to catch her breath, she drove to the hospital.

Sophia only came down after Evelyn left, having no plans to talk to her.

Evelyn used to constantly ask about Lucas' preferences and habits, always nagging Sophia about wearing skirts without tights during winter, and even worrying about her grades.

Did Evelyn really think that she had the ability to tutor her?

Hence, Sophia always avoided Evelyn whenever possible because Evelyn was too annoying. After all, Evelyn would never deny her whenever she needed her.

Margaret was about to head to the Grant Manor to send over the food when Sophia came down in a good mood. Sophia was even humming as she mentioned, "Just give it to me. I'll send the food over."

Not thinking much about it, Margaret handed the food to Sophia since Sophia had to return to the Grant Manor anyway.

...

The hospital Evelyn had chosen for treatment was the best private hospital in Clementon.

The medical services were far superior, and her uncle, Leonard, was also staying at the hospital's sanatorium. It had a better reputation compared to the other sanatoriums out there.

Of course, the cost of staying there was also exorbitant.

She had gained nothing from her three years of marriage to Lucas, except for a managerial position in the PR department that she had worked hard for. Fortunately, she had a decent salary, allowing her to get by throughout the years. Now that she was working with the Flying Seal Group, Justine and Sebastian were generous enough to give her a portion of their shares. Once a project was completed, she would receive at least 700,000 dollars through dividends.

That way, even if her treatment failed, she still would be able to keep a large sum of money for Leonard and Deborah. That way, they would still be able to live the rest of their lives comfortably.

It was one of the reasons why she had rushed to pick up the dreams she once had.

On one hand, she did not want to die with any regrets. On the other hand, she wanted to ensure that Deborah and Leonard would be well off without her.

Evelyn's primary care physician. Mike Fletcher, was a specialist within the hospital. He was a man in his 50s and suggested Evelyn undergo another round of testing.

She did not feel sorry for herself despite having to carry a thick stack of medical reports around the hospital on her own. She was used to being alone and having no one to rely on.

The constant disappointment she faced only made her stronger.

However, the results of her medical reports only showed that she was still in bad condition.

Mike looked through her reports with a frown before mentioning, "Judging from your condition, medication alone would not help much. Ms. Reed, I think you should start considering chemotherapy and surgery."

Evelyn fell silent.

He asked again, "Where's your family? Your husband? Your parents? Do you want to discuss your condition with them?"noveldrama

She lowered her gaze and shook her head lightly. "It's alright. I can decide on my own."

Her husband? She did not want him anymore.

Her parents? They weren't in her life, and she might as well have pretended that they did not exist.

"What are the chances of me overcoming this if I choose to undergo chemotherapy and surgery? How long will it take me to recover?"

Mike answered, "The side effects of chemotherapy are huge, and it would affect your body and your daily life. As for surgery...

"For cases like yours, the success rate of removing the lump of cancerous cells is around 40%, and there's no definite time for how long you'd take to recover."

Evelyn's lips turned pale, looking like she was at a loss for what to do. What if she made the wrong choice?

If things didn't go well, surgery and chemotherapy would only make her weaker.

If that happened, she would probably reach a point where she would not be able to work. Not only would she lose her life, but she also would not be able to earn any money.

"Ms. Reed, there's also another important factor for you to consider." Mike looked at her solemnly as he warned her of the consequences. "If you choose to undergo surgery, you might lose your ability to have children."

Evelyn fell silent as she stared at her medical report, looking slightly dazed.

In truth, she loved children.

When she first married into the Grant family, Sophia had only been around 13 to 14 years old. She would act all cute and adorable and would cling to her too.

She would often look forward to seeing what the child she had with Lucas would look like.

However, Sophia had begun to hate her and torment her when Tiffany came into the picture.

And now, she was about to divorce Lucas.

She looked up and commented gently, "If I can be cured, I choose to give up on my ability to have children."
