After all, he had been the one to suggest marriage in the first place.

He had wanted to give Sharon a title; to give her a home.

“Sharon, I-”

“Jensen, you don’t need to say anything. I know I took a place that was never meant to be mine. Now that Natalie’s back, I’ll step aside for her. Let’s go to City Hall and get divorced.”

Her words made Jensen pause.

Until now, that had indeed been his plan.

He had already failed Natalie once; he couldn’t betray her a second time.

This time, once he saw her again, he was determined to win her back.

He had been agonizing over how to bring up the subject of divorce with Sharon, but he never expected her to take the initiative herself.

Looking at her pale face, her fragile frame that seemed like it could collapse at any moment- remembering how she had given up one of her ribs to save his life five years ago–Jensen’s heart softened.

“Enough. My attitude was wrong before. Now that I know Natalie’s alive, I’ll fight for her. As for you… focus on your health. We’ll talk about divorce later.”

In the end, Jensen couldn’t bring himself to agree to divorce Sharon right then.

The Summers family wasn’t as strong as it once had been; if he abandoned her now, Sharon might truly die even faster. How could he treat the woman who had saved his life so cruelly?

Natalie didn’t know what had happened five years ago. As long as he carefully explained that debt of gratitude, Natalie would understand.

Sharon listened to his words. Even though she had achieved the outcome she wanted, her chest still felt unbearably tight.

She hadn’t missed the shift in his emotions.

If she hadn’t mentioned divorce first today, she knew very well Jensen would have.

For Natalie’s sake, he really had been prepared to leave her.

Sharon’s fingers twisted hard into her thigh as tears slipped down her face.

“Jensen, if I’d known my illness would cause you this much pain, I never should’ve come back.”

“Don’t say that.”

The anguish in Jensen’s voice deepened.

“I’ll handle everything with Natalie. But once she’s back, don’t see her; don’t go after her. Can you just… live in peace with her–for me?”

His words filled Sharon with hatred, though she didn’t dare let it show.

“I just don’t want her to make things hard for me.”

Her voice was soft, but it carried the perfect amount of wounded grievance.

Jensen quickly assured her, “She won’t. I’ll have people protect you. In the time you have left, I won’t let anyone harm you. What happens between me and Natalie has nothing to do with you; we’ll deal with it ourselves. All you need to do is focus on your health.”

When he finished, he instructed Hansel to take Sharon home.

She rose weakly to her feet–only to faint right in front of him.

“Sharon!”

Panic shot through Jensen.

“Call an ambulance, now!”

He scooped her into his arms and rushed downstairs.

The ambulance arrived quickly.

Sharon was taken straight into the emergency room.

Johnson’s face went pale with anger.

“Sharon, what game are you playing now? How am I supposed to explain this to Jensen? That the cancer has already spread? That you’re about to die? Are you planning to fake your own death?”
