"I won't do chemotherapy, Heidi said weakly while coughing violently. "It'll make my hair fall out and I'll look ugly... Caden, aren't you about to get engaged to Rosaline? I want to see you two together, looking beautiful and happy. I don't want to be an eyesore at your wedding.

"I just want to see you happy." I turned around and saw her covering her mouth as she coughed, blood slowly seeping through her slender fingers. Her already pale complexion had turned almost translucent.

She looked so weak that it didn't seem fake.

Recalling Rosaline's words, I walked back to the bedside and looked down at Heidi. "If you don't want chemotherapy, that's fine. You can still attend my engagement ceremony with Rosaline. Just rest well." "Then... Caden, can I hug you?" Heidi lifted her longing gaze to me. She hesitated before saying, "I know my feelings for you caused you a lot of trouble in the past. But now that I'm dying, can't we consider this my final goodbye to those feelings?" Inarrowed my eyes slightly while standing still.

Taking my silence as agreement, she reached out and wrapped her arms around my waist, resting her head against me.

"Caden, I really hope you can forgive me,” she said sentimentally.

"What are you two doing?" Rosaline's sharp voice suddenly cut through the air.

She stood in the doorway, staring atand Heidi in each other's arms, her face was dark with anger and betrayal.

Heidi's POV: 1 quickly released Caden in a panic.

Of course, I had already seen Rosaline standing outside the door-that's exactly why I hugged Caden. I did.

t on purpose.

it Caden and Rosaline had already fought fiercely before. Though I hadn't caught them in the act last time, I had personally witnessed their heated argument afterward.

Now, I just needed to add more fuel to that fire.

Clutching the blanket tightly around me, I looked at Rosaline with wide, nervous eyes. "Rosaline, please don't blCaden. It's all my fault. I was the one who wanted to hug him. I'm sick and he was just trying to comfort me.

"Oh, so being sick means you need a hug for comfort?" Rosaline's voice trembled with fury as she glared at Caden "Great. If you can't be completely devoted to me, then forget it. Let's cancel the engagement." 1/3 Chapter 378 A Real Argument With that, she spun around, ready to storm out.

Caden immediately grabbed her wrist. "Why can't you ustfor once? His voice was sharp, filled with frustration. He was clearly just as angry as she was.

"Caden, please don't be mad at Rosaline. It's all my fault" I said hurriedly, climbing out of bed and grabbing Rosaline's hand. “Rosaline, don't worry, I'm not competing with you. The doctors say I have late- stage stomach cancer... Lonly have a month left to live I'm dying. I'm returning Caden to you." "What do you mean by that?" Rosaline scoffed and yanked my hand away. "Are you saying that I'm just picking up what you've discarded?" I gasped. "Ah-" She had shovedso hard that I collapsed onto the floor. I coughed violently and right red blood splattered onto the white tiles. The sight was unsettling.

"I didn't mean it like that... I just don't want Caden to feel torn. I don't want you two to fight because of me. I choked out between ragged breaths.

"Enough!" Caden roared.

Both Rosaline and I froze.

He bent down and helpedoff the floor, then turned to Rosaline coldly. "Rosaline, Tessa is already dying. Don't you think you're being a little petty by arguing with her?" "Petty? Rosaline's eyes widened in disbelief. She let out a bitter laugh. "Fine. Since that's how you see me. I'll just leave. I won't disturb your little moment together." She stormed out without another word.

I quickly clutched Caden's sleeve, pretending to be anxious. "Caden, please don't hate Rosaline because of me. She's a good person-she's just upset. Go after her just... I still want to see you guys have your happy moment...

I coughed again, spitting up more blood.

But inside, I was laughing. This plan was working even better than expected.

No matter what I had done wrong before, no matter how important Rosaline was to Caden, she could never win against a dying woman..

If I kept playing my cards right, it would only have been @matter of ve! tbefore Caden was mi "Alright." Caden nodded. "Get srest. I'll visit you later." Then, he turned and walked out of the room.

My eyes widened in shock. Wait... What? Logically, he should have stayed with me, right? 2/3 + Peris 09:18 Wed, Mar 26 Chapter 378 A Real Argument Why did he actually leave to chase after Rosaline? Damn it. I hadn't escalated though! That Omega b*tch still had a chance!
