Chapter 54

Alex:



Julie’s revelation hit me like a ton of bricks. Leukemia? The word echoed in my mind, and I felt a mixture of shock, sadness, and a determination to support her. She was carrying our child, and now she had to face a battle against a serious illness.

I listened to her, absorbing every word as she poured out her fears, her concerns about the pregnancy, and the weight of her illness. The room felt heavy with the unspoken weight of the future, but one thing became clear – I wasn’t going anywhere.

“Julie, so you think I will leave you because you are sick? Look at me, Julie. I’m still here, whether you are sick or not. You are still the same person to me, and I will not treat you differently now because you are sick, got that?”
