His hands trembled when he realized the gravity of the situation, and he struggled to find the right words.

"Sandra, why didn't you tell me about this?" he finally managed to say, crouching down beside me and taking my hand, a rare moment of tenderness.

"Sandra, I had no idea earlier. If you want to hit back, go ahead, but don't be upset," he murmured, regretting the earlier altercation.

Jennifer's expression shifted from hurt to innocence as she apologized with hidden joy, "I'm sorry, Sandra. We didn't know about your cancer."

Pointing towards the door, I coldly replied, "You know now? Then leave."

Shawn gestured for Jennifer to stay quiet, then spoke softly, "Sandra, fight this disease with all you've got. If our son sees you like this, it'll break his heart."

Amanda gave him a shove to the side.

"Son? You still remember you have a son?"

Shawn obviously hadn't quite grasped what was going on.

Just then, Martin Garrix walked into the room.

He was Greyson's oncologist and now my surgeon.

"The treatment plan is set, the cancer cells have spread, we can't delay any longer. After this round of chemotherapy, surgery is necessary. Please have the family sign the consent form," he stated.

"I'll take care of it. I'm the patient's husband."

Shawn rushed forward.

Martin furrowed his brow, asking, "Ms. Hayes, I remember on the day of Greyson's bone marrow matching, you said his father had passed away, didn't you?"

"What?"

The pen in Shawn's hand clattered to the floor.

As if remembering something, he trembled as he held Martin's hand, voice quivering.

"Bone marrow matching? Are you saying... my son really has leukemia?"

Martin glanced at Amanda, who was rolling her eyes, and Jennifer, who was covering her face.

Then, he understood the situation roughly and said with disdain, "With a father like you, it's a blessing for the child to go."

Shawn collapsed on the floor.

His hand accidentally bumped into the Superman figure standing on the table.

With a clang, the Superman's body was shattered into pieces.

A shiny metal piece rolled a few times and fell beside the chair.

Shawn stared at the items on the floor, momentarily stunned.

After a moment, he looked at Jennifer, his eyes widening.
