Inside the folder was a thick stack of Idania’s medical records.
Idania raised her eyebrows in surprise, her eyes filling with tears with almost perfect timing.
“Where’s your family?” Tobias asked, his tone softer than before. “You should inform them about this as soon as
possible.”
Shaking her head, she replied, “I don’t have any family left. I’m probably going to end up dying all alone at home
with no one to ever discover my rotting corpse.”
Both of her parents were simple labor workers, and her father was an alcoholic who would take his anger out on his
wife and daughter when he was drunk. Tobias was well aware of all of this.
The last page of Idania’s medical report stated that she was diagnosed with stage three of recurrent breast cancer.

Idania glanced over at Tobias, but she couldn’t tell what was going on in his mind.
“Don’t worry about me,” she said with a bright smile, taking the initiative to break the silence. “Now the mood’s
gone all bad. I’d only meant to come here to talk about work with you and return the ring; I never expected for this
topic to be brought up.”
Tobias sighed internally. You were the one who brought the medical records with you though…
“Well, we did date in the past. I’m not going to just sit by and do nothing. You can take your hands off the project
and focus on regaining your health back. It wouldn’t do you any good to keep working in this condition.”
Idania opened her mouth as if to say something, then seemed to have second thoughts and closed it again. After a
brief pause, she hesitantly probed, “I don’t have any relatives here, nor do I have any friends. If you have time to
spare, could you accompany me for a while longer? I really do feel very lonely, and who knows how much longer I
have left to live? I didn’t even get to marry someone before I die.”
“I’ll try,” the man answered vaguely. “Don’t say such things. As long as you’re still alive, you still have a chance at
recovery.”
After the whole “pregnancy test” incident, Skylar had her first public appearance at a business event as Gucci’s
newest brand spokesperson.
The event started at eight in the morning, but fans filled up the venue before that in hopes of getting a glimpse of
her.
This came as a surprise to both Skylar and the event organizers, who had to scramble to hire extra security guards.
Skylar eventually appeared in front of everyone dressed in casual clothing from Gucci’s newest Fairytale collection,
causing her fans to erupt in deafening cheers and screams.
Stuck in the middle of the crowd of fans, Idania stared up at the screen that displayed and emphasized Skylar’s
beauty. Her heart squeezed painfully inside her chest.
She and Skylar shared similar-looking eyebrows. Everyone around Idania constantly commented that she

She was starting to wonder whether Tobias was merely dating Skylar because she looked like the past Idania.
“You see? This is everything Tobias gave her,” Avery scoffed, wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap as she stood
next to Idania. “The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. I feel so sorry for you,
Idania.”
Meeting Avery at a banquet had been a complete coincidence.
Avery only found out that Idania was Tobias’ ex-girlfriend after exchanging numbers with her at the banquet. The
woman then started aggressively pursuing a friendship with her. Of course, Idania knew what Avery was truly after.
The two of them entered a mutually beneficial alliance where they each planned on using each other for their own
selfish intentions.
“Who cares? It’s not as if Tobias bought her fame.” Idania rolled her eyes. From her point of view, no one could
ever replace her spot in Tobias’ heart.
