Chapter 3

Half a month later, I came to the hospital to complete this month's last chemotherapy session.

On my way to deliver the medical report.

I happened to run into Zoe accompanying Leo for a checkup.

"Pregnant?" I asked casually.

"No, Zoe is just accompanying me for a checkup. Thanks to her, I've recovered so quickly," Leo explained, seeing my unfriendly expression.

"That's good, congratul-"

Before I could finish, Zoe, who had been holding Leo's arm, interrupted me.

"Ethan, what are you doing? Why aren't you answering your phone?"

"And what's this about divorce? Who allowed you to divorce? Are you planning to leave with nothing?"

"What, now you've come to the hospital to win me back? Are you trying to play the victim?"

Zoe's barrage of questions made my already unclear mind feel even worse.

Thinking about the upcoming chemotherapy, I didn't bother with them anymore and walked straight into the doctor's office.

"Mr. Cheng, this is your last chemotherapy session for this month."

"Given your current condition, we suggest you start inpatient treatment after this session."

The doctor's expression was grave. Combined with my current physical state, even I understood.

My time was running out.

I nodded, telling the doctor I wanted to think about it and finish this chemotherapy session first.

After arranging with the doctor, I walked out of the office, preparing to enter the treatment room.

Zoe grabbed me at the door.

Leaving Leo looking at us with reluctant eyes.

"Ethan, what are you doing? Are you serious?"

Zoe crossed her arms, her usual dismissive gaze showing a hint of confusion.

"What else? At this point, what reason do I have to lie to you?" I waved my hand wearily, just looking at her calmly.

"Then why didn't you say anything? Dragging it out until now, are you waiting here to make me pity you or-"

"Do you remember our wedding anniversary half a month ago? I wanted to tell you that day, but where were you?"

Zoe's expression was shocked when I suddenly interrupted her, as if she couldn't believe it.

In fact, this was the first time in my life I had ever interrupted her.

In the past, I would have been happy for an entire day just for having an extra word with her, but now I only found it annoying.

Her words were either constantly ignoring me or endlessly mocking me.

She really thought the world revolved around her.

Although I hadn't received the divorce certificate with Zoe yet.

In my view, since I had drafted that divorce agreement, we had already become strangers.

Suddenly realizing this, I felt that I was actually colder than I had imagined.

Once I decided I had no relationship with someone, I thoroughly cut off everything with them.

Be it relationships or emotions.

The deeper my love for Zoe had been, the more indifferent I felt towards her now.

At this moment, the nurse from the chemotherapy room called my name, asking me to come in for treatment.

Hearing this, I turned to leave.

Seeing me about to leave, Zoe hurriedly said, "What about my grandfather?"

With these words, I immediately understood her meaning.

Back then, Grandpa Pei had used the Pei Group heir position to threaten her into marrying me.

Now that I wanted a divorce, I naturally had to give Grandpa Pei an explanation.

"Don't worry about that, I'll explain everything to him."

After saying this, I left directly, not looking back at her once.

In the past, I always watched Zoe's retreating figure.

Now, I no longer needed to.
