Chapter 1265


    The world was so big, and so was Lanechett. However, there was no ce for Eileen. Nor was


    anyone waiting for her.


    She had lost her marriage, Brad, and everything.


    Eight years ago, she was drifting like a leaf but had got Brad by her side. Despite the hardships, she


    still had hope.


    Now, she was still that leaf in autumn about to fall.


    Compared to eight years ago, she was more scarred and more hopeless. She was as good as


    dead...


    She walked aimlessly in Lanechett for a long time. Not until the sun was setting that she realized


    the hard reality. She had n o ce to stay.


    Though hospitalized, she still needed a ce of her own.


    First thing first, she should find an apartment and settle down.


    Housing prices in Lanechett were so high that she couldn’t afford to rent any good apartment


    downtown.


    She searched almost every side street and alley before she found one. The small apartment had a


    bathroom, a living room, and no bedrooms. The rent was rtively low.


    She decided to settle down there.


    Before leaving, thendy reminded her," I''m not gonna lie to you. Someone died in this room, but


    it was five, six years ago.


    You may hear gossip from the neighbors, and I have to tell you this in advance!"


    Eileen had started sorting out her luggage.


    After hearing that, she just replied indifferently, "I''m not even afraid of death, s o ghosts won''t scare


    me."


    She was no longer afraid of anything.


    Thendy frowned. To her surprise, this girl had a lot of nerve.


    Thendy left. Eileen got her luggage out of the trunk and squatted there to sort them out.


    There was kitchenware in the living room. She hadn’t had supper yet. Since there was some rice


    left, she decided to cook porridge. When it was ready, she filled two bowls, served them on the


    table, and shouted gently, "Brad, time for supper.


    Wash your hands."


    Her voice echoed in the deste and quiet room. There were no sounds, not to mention a


    response.


    After a moment of silence, Eileen realized that she had got separated from Brad.

    Sitting at the table, she stirred the porridge with a spoon and instantly lost her appetite.


    The habit had been engraved in her soul in the past eight years.


    She called out to him, but there was no longer any response.


    She couldn''t hear that childish, soft voice calling her mom again...


    For a moment, her heart felt empty. She stirred the porridge and poured it back into the pot. Her


    appetite had been lost.


    After that, Eileen went to buy some groceries and nice floral cloth in a supermarket.


    The room should be divided so that she could separate spaces for sleeping and cooking.


    She glued a thin cord to the walls and then hung the sewn floral cloth.


    She looked back at her predicament andughed at herself. She had made the correct decision to


    let Brad go and live with him. She didn''t want her son to live in poverty like this.


    She knew that she could barely sustain her life.


    She had no money. When they got divorced, she didn''t ask for a penny. She had to earn money!


    She needed to pay for her chemotherapy and hospitalization.


    Since the chemotherapy hadn’t started yet, the cost was not high. She could afford it for the time


    being, but it was quite likely she would fail.


    She took quite a few interviews, but those interviewers turned her down on the spot a s soon as


    they saw the problem with her leg. They wouldn''t even give it a second thought.


    Eileen had been aware of her miserable fate all along, but her heart still throbbed with the


    predicament.


    Without a choice, she went back empty-handed. On a bench, she had a loaf of bread for lunch.


    When she looked at the bright sky, her eyes tingled. She felt like crying.


    But she knew that tears would not help.


    No one cared about her. She was all alone.


    As soon as she went back to the ward, she saw Kirsten, who knitted her brows. "Didn''t you go to


    the Civil Registry Office and process the divorce? Why are you back sote?"


    Eileen forced a smile. "I went job hunting."


    Upon hearing that, Kirsten grabbed her arm. "Have you lost your mind? Given your condition, can


    you work? You have cancer and need chemotherapy. It''s important for you to rest and have enough


    nutrition."
