Chapter S
“You knew you had AIDS, and you still slept with me?”
Nicholas was absolutely livid. He ripped off his suit jacket and threw it to the ground, then frantically wiped his hands with
tissues.
“Shereen, I swear, if anything happens to me, I’ll kill you!”
Shereen’s face turned deathly pale. “Nicholas, didn’t you say you’d stay with me even if I had cancer? And now you’re treating me
like this? You’re such a hypocrite!”
“You actually believed that nonsense?”
Nicholas turned to leave, but Shereen clung to his leg.
“You’re not allowed to leave. Today is our wedding!”
Nicholas kicked her away furiously. “Get lost, you filthy bitch!”
Watching this scene reminded me of my past life. Back then, I had also been kicked aside just like this.
Suddenly, a stream of red trickled down Shereen’s legs, staining her white wedding dress.
Nicholas was so terrified that he turned and ran, but as he rushed down the stage, he tripped and fell hard–only to look up and
meet my gaze.
His eyes suddenly changed.
“Theresa…”
I walked up to him and whispered, “This is what happens when you cross the wrong woman.”
Later, Shereen was rushed to the hospital. She lost the baby, and her uterus had to be removed.
As for Nicholas, I saw him frantically pulling out wads of cash, begging a doctor to give him emergency preventive medication. He
also requested a test.
Sexual contact is the most common way to contract AIDS. Given how many times Nicholas had been with Shereen, infection was
inevitable.
When the results came back, he collapsed onto the floor, clutching his head and wailing, “Why? Why didn’t I come back sooner?”
