Silent Goodbyes

In the third year of my marriage to Julian, our quiet life crumbled to pieces.

His first love, Vivian, woke up from a five-year coma, instantly taking back all his warmth, devotion, and tenderness.

As if fate were playing a cruel joke, I was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at the exact same time. My life was on a rapid countdown.

For the days I had left, I kept my illness a secret, pretending everything was fine whenever Julian was around.

I quietly watched him pour his entire heart into another woman, letting him neglect and brush me off time and time again.
