Chapter 628

Emma poured herself some tea and took a sip before setting the cup down again.

Toddy paled as he stared anxiously at her.

He chided himself for not thinking before he spoke. Why did you say that? What if she marries Roger
just to stop me from bothering her anymore?

He knew he'd regret that for the rest of his life.

"Marriage is a big deal, Emma. You can't just do it in the spur of the moment. If I'm bothering you too
much, I can just stay a little further away from you. Don't marry Roger just because you can't stand me
hanging around. Neither one of you will be happy that way," Toddy advised worriedly as he was afraid
that Emma would go off and get married at once.

"It's easy for me to get married, but I don't want to marry anyone, and I don't want to hurt Roger."

Emma picked up her bag. After thinking about it for a little while, she took out a few medical reports.

She passed the medical reports to Toddy and said, "I did a health check when I joined Parker
Corporation. There were a few anomalies, so the doctor advised me to do a more thorough check-up. I
found the time to get it done and I got the reports back. I have a terminal illness, Toddy. The doctor said
that no matter which treatment I receive, I have no chance of survival. With luck, I have a year or two
left to live. If not, it could be as quick as six months."

Toddy was thunderstruck.



He didn't believe her, so he flipped through the medical reports himself. Once he finished looking
through everything, he cried out, "Emma, even though Orapolis General Hospital is a highly rated
hospital, you can't determine that there's no hope in your situation just because of their reports. You
should see other specialists at different hospitals. It's best if you can see a doctor in Imperia. The
Imperia Oncology Center has a lot of experience treating all sorts of cancers and tumors. Submit your
resignation right away. I'll apply for leave too and I'll accompany you to Imperia. Maybe you were
misdiagnosed. You're so young! How can you have cancer?"

Toddy grabbed Emma's hand and declared, "Don't be scared, Emma. I'm here. No matter what
happens to you, I won't leave you."

Emma yanked her hand away from his and averted her eyes. "You need to think carefully, Toddy. I have
cancer. Even if I receive treatment at the best hospital, it'll only be delaying the inevitable. I don't want
to suffer through treatment only to die at the end of it. That's why I chose conservative treatment. The
doctor said I can only hold out for another eighteen months or so. You're a young and accomplished
man. What are you going to do when I die? I'm thankful that you're willing to stay by my side even
though I'm sick, but I can't be that selfish."

She rubbed her waist and added, "I've already looked it up. My illness spreads quickly. I'm definitely
going to die."

"No. Stop talking about dying. I'm sure it's a misdiagnosis. And, even if you are sick, I won't abandon
you. Even if you'll… I still want to stay by your side."

Emma took her medical reports back from him. "Don't be like this, Toddy. You should go home and
think things through. Talk to your parents about it too. They're looking forward to having grandchildren.
Also, don't tell Kendall about my illness."



"You're sick! Are you still thinking about staying in the job?"

Toddy widened his eyes and stated disapprovingly, "What's most important right now is for you to go for
treatment. Submit your resignation tomorrow. If you don't say anything, I'll tell President Coleman. If
Kendall found out that you're working despite being ill, she wouldn't agree to it either."

Emma still chose to avoid Toddy's gaze. She stuffed the reports back inside her bag.

"Talk to your family first. If they support your decision, then I'll let you accompany me to a few other
hospitals to run a few more tests."

"Emma."

Toddy grabbed her hand once more and stared at her in all seriousness as he asked, "Are you just
trying to scare me off, Emma? Is this a test? The reports are fake, right?"

He didn't believe that Emma would have a terminal illness at such a young an age and suspected that
she was just trying to fool him so that he would give up.

Does she hate me so much? Is she willing to say she has a terminal illness just to get away from me?

"Who'd wish cancer on themselves? I have a growth on my esophagus and many doctors suspect that
it could be primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus. I have a growth in my lungs too. I've had to
watch as a few of my family members passed on so I've made my peace with death. That's why I'm
able to face this calmly."



In reality, Emma didn't have a confirmed medical result yet.

The reports the doctor gave her were all inconclusive. He told her to do more tests.

She hadn't even done the pathology test yet.

Nevertheless, the reports were true too.

If she did have primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus and decided against getting treatment,
she would die fairly quickly.

At the moment, she felt fine and didn't seem at all like a cancer patient.

Naturally, she chose to bring out these reports because she wanted to test Toddy.

Was he truly willing to accompany her in her final days if he knew she had cancer?

Would his family agree to it too?

Emma was going to test Roger as well.

As they say, it's easiest to test a person's sincerity when you confront them with matters of life and
death.

Emma had no other choice. She couldn't decide between the two men who were after her, and these
medical reports came at just the right time, so she decided to test them.



Roger was Kendall's brother so she couldn't let Kendall find out about it first.

"Emma…"

Toddy's heart ached when he confirmed that she didn't seem to be lying.

"There's no way you're sick. It has to be a misdiagnosis. You don't look like someone who has cancer."

"I don't look like one? Who'd look like a patient unless they were on their deathbed?"

Toddy couldn't say anything in response.

"I haven't changed my stance, Toddy. If you truly want to be with me, you're going to have to think
things through carefully. If either you or your family can't accept this, you should let me spend the rest
of my life in peace and not bother me ever again. When my body can't take it anymore, I'll resign and
go back to my hometown."

Her family would take care of her during her final days.

Emma took her phone out and called someone whose contact she had for years but never used. It was
Toddy's mother.

Soon, his mother Marion answered her phone.

"Hello, Mrs. Heller. My name is Emma Finley. Toddy's here right now and there's something he wishes
to say."



Emma passed her phone to Toddy.

Toddy was completely caught unaware. He never would've thought that Emma had his mother's
number. She must've loved me a lot back then.

He was a mess right now.

His love for Emma was real.

If she was sick, he was willing to take care of her and even marry her so that she could die without
regrets, but he was afraid that his family wouldn't agree to that.

"I'll go to the restroom."

Emma thoughtfully left so that Toddy could speak to his mother in private.

She walked over to the restroom.

Once she closed the door behind her, she leaned against it and stared up at the ceiling.

Minutes passed before she sighed. "This is the quickest and most decisive way to settle everything. It'll
hurt, but at least everything will be taken care of neatly and cleanly."

Although the reports were real, Emma wasn't all that concerned. She didn't think it was going to be
primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus.



She had accidentally swallowed a bone once which ended up cutting her esophagus, so that could be
the reason why a nodule had formed there.

It was just like how people's feet could develop a corn after getting stabbed by something.

Still, she had to get a pathology test to find out whether it was just an inflammation of some kind or
cancer.
