Selena froze when she heard what Gavin said, staring at him in disbelief. “What did you just say?”
Gavin quickly reached out to steady her. “I said, the one who has colon cancer… is you. Selena, where's the medication from the hospital? You have it on you, right? Come on, let me help you take it!”
He frantically started rifling through her bag.
Selena was stunned. “Gavin, what nonsense are you spouting? How could I have colon cancer? I'm perfectly healthy…”
But before she could finish, the nausea she had barely suppressed surged back up.
This time, she couldn't hold it in. She clutched her stomach and vomited violently.
To make matters worse, her abdomen suddenly cramped with a sharp pain. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Colon cancer…
Was it really her who had it all along?
Selena grabbed Gavin's arm in panic. “Gavin, I don't want to die, please… please save me!”
Gavin finally fished out the bottle of medication from her bag. “Selena, you'll be fine, don't worry. This is a special medicine. Even if you did ingest whatever that was, this will fix it!”
With shaking hands, he unscrewed the bottle.
Selena opened her mouth and swallowed the pill immediately.
She was utterly terrified, her whole body trembling uncontrollably as fear gripped her heart.
Was she really dying?
Could she actually have cancer?
No, no… she couldn't die.
She couldn't die…
But the more she tried to convince herself, the worse the pain in her abdomen grew. Grabbing onto Gavin, she cried out, “Gavin, it hurts so much, what should I do?”
Gavin was just as panicked. He glanced at the bottle. “This is the special medicine. The doctor told me it would relieve the pain. Why isn't it working?”
Selena followed his gaze, her eyes landing on the bottle.
That medicine was meant for her?
But wait…
She had already sold that special medication at the hospital and replaced it with vitamins.
This medicine was useless.
Realizing this, Selena's panic escalated, and she tried to throw up what she had just swallowed. This time, she vomited something dark, tinged with blood.
Gavin screamed, “Someone call an ambulance! Please, someone help her!”
Erin quickly stepped forward and took hold of Selena's wrist, frowning deeply.
