Chapter 882 Their Little Secret

Monica slowly learned to distract herself. She got into flower arranging and making little dolls. Malcolm was in the army, so he was not at home most of the time. Because of that, Monica had to think of ways to entertain herself.

She had been absentminded lately. She felt that it was karma that gave her cervical cancer. It was all retribution, the heavy price she had to pay for having a hand in Ivy's death. Although she did not shove Ivy off that building, she still said the words that ultimately made her leap to her death. She said to her, "If you disappear from the world, Colin will have a seat at the Yu Family table."

Monica had not expected the naive woman to really jump off the building because of her half-meant promise.

The last call Ivy made before she killed herself was to Monica. After Monica found out that Ivy had jumped off a building, she was very flustered. Fortunately, her brother was a police officer. Through some of her connections, Monica managed to destroy Ivy's mobile phone and wipe her phone records.

At that time, Ivy had no one to rely on in City A, and she had no one to help her find the person who had threatened her and her son. The matter had passed, and nobody cared now why she jumped to her death. There were many people who committed suicide every day, and people thought that Ivy was just one of them.

Malcolm did not attend Ivy's funeral. At the time of Ivy's death, Malcolm was on a dangerous mission at the border. When he returned, Ivy was already gone. The news of his beloved woman jumping to her death tore his world apart.

Malcolm could not believe it. Ivy was fine a few months ago. He did not understand why she committed suicide.

Malcolm and Ivy had made a deal that they would never see each other again for as long as they lived. Ivy made a concession and decided to allow Malcolm to live the rest of his life as he pleased. Ivy's love was selfless. She bore all the pain by herself and endured it in silence.

Despite their agreement, Mal

the same roof.

The more Monica thought about it, the sadder she felt. If she could do it all again, she would give up being Mrs. Yu. She would give up this marriage and allow Malcolm to go after his one true love.

After finding out that she had cancer, Monica did not feel afraid. She just felt that her retribution had finally come.

Her hands were stained with Ivy's blood. Ivy chose to die because of her. She must have been so scared when she jumped off that building.

Following Ivy's death, Monica had had nightmares that jolted her awake and drenched her in cold sweat in the middle of the night. She and Malcolm had been sleeping separately, so over the years, she had not slept well.

When she saw her test results, she thought to herself, 'You must be laughing at me now, Ivy. I'm finally being punished for what I did to you. I don't have much time left. I just hope that you can forgive me. In our next life, I won't take him away from you. Just let me enjoy the days I have left.'

Monica's last wish was to be a real wife to Malcolm.

She wanted to feel her husband's warmth against her once again, but given her condition, it could prove dangerous to her and unsatisfactory for Malcolm. Her lower part often bled. In addition, there were harmful bacteria in her body that she did not want to infect Malcolm with.
