Chapter 98
The excruciating pain left me drenched in sweat, and at times, it was so intense that I would
lose consciousness.
I could already imagine that if I fainted in public today, it would be a trending topic on social media within minutes.

People would say I was deliberately trying to win favor by pretending to faint to gain Abigail’s sympathy.
Abigail would probably come after me, thinking I was causing trouble for no reason, and assume I was faking my condition to attract attention.
I didn’t want that to happen. I would rather collapse alone in the bathroom than give Abigail the opportunity to humiliate me.
I rushed into the restroom and squatted on the floor, vomiting violently.
By the end, when my stomach was empty, I began to vomit blood.
Globs of fresh blood surged out.
I gasped for air, feeling like I was about to faint.
But that wasn’t the end of it. I struggled to reach for a bottle of water to rinse my mouth, yet my hands shook so violently that I couldn’t even lift the bottle.
This scene made me tremble, and despair welled in my eyes.
It seemed that George’s words about my condition being treatable were nothing but a lie.
How could I possibly get better in my current state? He was probably just trying to comfort
- me.
Just as I swayed and was about to fall, a waft of fragrance enveloped me, and suddenly, a pair of hands caught hold of me.
I looked up in confusion and realized that the person supporting me was Blair.
There was a faint bruise under her eyes, which seemed out of place with her overall demeanor.
“What’s wrong? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?”
Her proximity made me feel particularly uncomfortable, and I quickly pushed her away gently.
I then thanked her politely. “Thank you. But it’s fine; I know what’s going on with my own body.”
She didn’t seem angry about my rejection. Instead, she opened a bottle of water and handed it
to me.
Her brows were fürrowed, and her eyes were filled with concern.
“Samuel, tell me the truth. Are you seriously ill Otherwise, how could a grown man struggle to open a bottle cap?”
I couldn’t help but shake my head and give a self–deprecating laugh.
Indeed, even an outsider like Blair could see that something was off with me at a glance.
Why did Abigail, the person closest to me, remain oblivious? However, that thought only flickered briefly in my mind.
I calmly shook my head, saying, “It’s just a minor issue. It’s nothing.”
I took the water and rinsed my mouth, feeling much better.
However, just as I was about to leave the bathroom, Blair suddenly blocked my way.
“Wait! haven’t finished speaking yet.”
I looked at her calmly and asked, “What do you want to say?”
Blair glanced at me with a complicated expression and hesitated before speaking, “I hope you can seriously consider this. If you really want to divorce Abigail, all it takes is one word, and I can help you.”
Her words inexplicably made me feel quite irritated.
I frowned and stared at her, shaking my head coldly. “Ms. Shepherd, I’ve already told is my matter, and it has nothing to do with anyone else.

“I appreciate your willingness to help, but I really don’t need it. Can we please not discuss this any further?”
