Chapter 76

Autumn felt her heart skip half a beat.

He’d seen it.

Did this mean she had to come clean about her illness?

She opened her mouth to speak, but before she could say anything, Julian’s phone rang.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the name on the screen-“Lulu.”

She didn’t need to guess who it was.

Seeing that Julian had no intention of continuing the conversation, she quietly exhaled in relief.

Without another word to her, Julian picked up his phone and walked out to the balcony to take the call.

Autumn pressed her lips together and didn’t give it another thought.

She turned and continued upstairs.

After tomorrow, she’d be gone for good.

Whatever Julian said or did now had nothing to do with her.

She would part with him peacefully.

Earlier today, during her flare-up, a sudden flash of inspiration had crossed her mind-one that could lead to an upgrade for their system.

She realized that despite undergoing annual health checks, her cancer hadn’t been discovered until it was already in stage two.

Now she had to rely on medication to slow the spread, but the side effects were brutal-dizziness and nausea had become her new normal, wearing her down every day.

She thought, why not research a more advanced early-detection system for cancer?

That could prevent people from mistaking early gastric cancer for common stomach issues.

Busy lifestyles often led people to ignore persistent stomach pain, brushing it off with painkillers instead of getting a proper check.

And because early cancer was notoriously difficult to detect, most wouldn’t even realize it was something serious until it was too late.

She was lucky in a way-it was only stage two when caught.

Others weren’t so fortunate and only found out in the late stages, where chemotherapy was the only option left to ease the suffering.

But by then, the treatment barely made a difference.

Chapter 76

Thousands died of cancer every year.

She believed more than ever that this field deserved urgent research.

After all, she was now living proof of how devastating a delayed diagnosis could be.

Driven by this urgency, Autumn called Ethan and explained her idea.

There was a short pause on the other end before he responded.

“Autumn, it’s a brilliant idea. I think it’s completely worth pursuing.

“My grandma died of cancer. By the time it was diagnosed, it was already in the later stage. Treatment didn’t mean much at that point.

“But she told us she always thought it was just a recurring stomach issue. She never took it seriously, and then one day, she was suddenly told it was terminal.”

That was why he believed this research, if successful, could truly help a lot of people.

He had to admit, Autumn was incredibly insightful.
