he screen shifted again , this time to a scene in the hospital . A doctor handed me a diagnosis report , his face clouded with concern . " You have breast cancer . It's se- rious - you need to schedule surgery as soon as possible . " But my voice was tinged with excitement . " You mean I really have breast cancer ? " It was the happiest I'd felt in over 20 years . The doctor was so baffled by my reaction that he gently suggested , " Maybe you should see a psychia- trist . " I just smiled and didn't bother to explain . For years , my dad had favored Lydia , and Felix's heart was always with her - all because she suffered from severe depression , right ? If I got sick too , maybe they'd finally treat me the way they treated Lydia . I called my dad first . " Dad , I have breast cancer . " " You sound happy about having cancer ? Eileen , I'm warning you , today is Lydia's birthday . Even if you fake an illness , you're not going to stop me from celebrating with her ! " Next , I called Felix . He spoke to me gently , " Eileen , you don't need to make up stories just to get my attention . Lydia is just my ex - you're the one I love , that will never change . I have to work late tonight , so don't wait up for me . " I hung up , numb , and wandered the streets in a daze . Passing by a restaurant , I stopped , unable to believe what I saw through the window . Inside , Dad was happily placing a birthday hat on Lydia's head . She smiled , slipped it on , and then leaned into Felix's embrace . Without me there , they all looked so happy . 0.0 % 09:23 Chapter 6 The scene changed again , but I didn't want to watch anymore . My whole life had been a string of failures . And now , I was forced to parade those failures in front of millions of strangers . 288 Vouchers When I turned around , I noticed tears glistening in my dad's eyes . Felix looked just as lost and broken . Dad , at a loss , turned to Sasha . " Eileen was always healthy - how could she get a disease like this ? I ... I really didn't know . I thought she was lying about being sick ! " Felix turned away , his eyes red . Sasha clenched her teeth . " How dare you say that ? If it weren't for you , Felix , and Lydia pushing her like this , do you think she'd have gotten breast cancer so young ?! " She had surgery a year ago - she could have lived longer . " But every one of you was just waiting for her to die . Her own father wouldn't let her marry her fiancé because of a manipulative woman . Her fiancé cheated on her behind her back to protect his ex . You all drove her to the edge and made her illness spiral out of control !
