As he handed a lab result over to her.

"We conducted a thorough test, and guess what? My nurses have come up with a that I can't wait to share with you!" The doctor said.

She stared at the doctor without Knowing what to say as tears rolled down her cheeks. Doctor, please do something, she begged, as the doctor was about to leave the scene.

Ms Maria, "Meet me in my office," the doctor said as he attempted to make a move. She refuses to look away as tears stream down her face, fixing her gaze on the doctor until he is completely out of sight.

"Please, Mom, don't do this to me!" she begged, her fingers gripping tightly onto her pink top. The desperation in her voice was palpable as tears threatened to spill down her cheeks.

"Have you heard back from the doctor yet? I'm curious to know what they said about my status."

I'll work hard to help pay the hospital bills! Maria assured herself, There's no doubt about it - she confidently ignored her mom's question.

Maria wasted no time. With the lab results in hand, she sprang from her seat and headed straight for the doctor's office. The folded paper remained tucked firmly under her arm as she walked, her mind racing with possibilities. She knew that whatever the results said, it was important to take action quickly. That was why she was there, after all. With a sense of determination, she pushed open the door to the doctor's office and prepared to face whatever lay ahead.

On reaching the doctor's office, she had to wait for her turn because many individuals were waiting to seek attention from the doctor.

"Ms Maria!" With a swift motion, she turned towards the source of the enchanting and chilling voice.

"Oh nurse Alexie" She exclaimed as she stood up on her feet, she waved her hands at the nurse, and the test result which was on her underarms fell off, "Don't worry, I'll help you." Said a small boy by her side, with a smile on his face, he made her feel like she wasn't alone in that moment as he picked up the results.

"How is your mom doing? " Nurse Alexie asked In a serious tone. "Come with me."

The nurse grabbed her hand and took her to a quiet place as the examination room was occupied by patients and individuals.

She did not want anyone to interrupt their conversation.

"What's is going on?" The nurse asked as Maria handed her the result,

I received the results this morning and the doctor wants me to come to his office for a proper explanation. I'm not leaving anything to chance and I will make sure to get all the answers I need! Maria answered.

"I suggest you take a look at the results yourself. With your expertise, I'm confident you'll be able to analyze the data and draw some valuable insights." Nurse Alexie said, opening the results which were well-sealed.

Maria's eyes widened with shock as the nurse was busy paying attention to the result.

"Maria, don't worry about a thing! Your mom will be just fine!" exclaimed the nurse as Maria looked at her with a puzzled expression, asking for an explanation of what was written on the results.

" Trust you've understood the result now?"

Maria's silence left no room for doubt. It was the confirmation she needed, and she didn't need any more words to know that.

" have got to be kidding me, sir, where can I get that huge amount of money?" She asked as she continued, am just a mare lady trying hard to make a living from the street.

She gasped as she continued, "My younger sister was a grade 4 college student and she isn't working yet! I had no father. . .

Ms Maria, please! I have too many patients to discuss with! " Calling her attention back"

"Lucien, let's get a divorce," I said in a peremptory tone that was long overdue, the most decisive farewell to this absurd marriage. We had been married for exactly three years-three years that, for me, were filled with nothing but endless loneliness and torment. For three years, the husband who should have stood by my side through every storm, Lucien Sullivan, had completely disappeared from my life as if he had never existed. He vanished without a trace, leaving me alone to endure this empty, desolate marriage. Today, I finally received his message: "I'm back. Come pick me up at the airport." When I read his words, my heart leapt with joy, and I raced to the airport, thinking that he finally understood my love and was coming back to me. But his cruelty was far worse than I could have ever imagined-he was accompanied by a pregnant woman, and that woman was Carla, my closest and most trusted friend. In that moment, all of my previous excitement, all my hope, and all of our shared laughter and tears turned into the sharpest of daggers, stabbing into my heart and leaving me gasping for air. Now, all I want is to escape from this place that has left me so broken-to lick my wounds in solitude. Even if these wounds will remain with me for the rest of my life, I refuse to have anything to do with him ever again. He should know that it was his own hand that trampled our love underfoot, that his coldness and betrayal created this irreparable situation. But when he heard those words, he desperately clung to this broken, crumbling marriage, unwilling to let it end-almost as though doing so could rewind time and return everything to how it used to be. "Aurora, come back. I regret everything!" Regret? Those simple words stirred no emotion in me-only endless sadness and fury. My heart let out a frantic, desperate scream: It's too late for any of this!
