Chapter 867:
Alban’s expression was grave. “She isn’t lying to you.”
Lizzie’s world seemed to crack apart, the truth hitting her like a brutal, earth-shattering blow.
If not for the way Rachel had said it, if not for the tension thick in the air, she never would have believed it.
Shaking her head, she pushed back her chair and stood abruptly, her hands flying up to cover her ears. She
stumbled backward, step by step, retreating as if she could escape the reality closing in around her.
“No... no, you're lying to me. You have to be lying. | don’t want to hear this!” She staggered backward until her
heels hit the door. Her balance faltered, and she crashed to the floor.
A sharp burn shot up her back from the impact, but she acted as if she felt nothing. Her mind refused to accept
the words ringing in her ears.
In a blind panic, she wrenched the door open and bolted outside like a whirlwind.
Rachel’s heart pounded. “Alban, go after her. Don’t let her be alone.”
“But what about Mr. Vance?”
Rachel didn’t hesitate. “I'll take him to see the doctor. It’s only natural that Lizzie’s struggling to process this.

“Understood.”
Allan’s legs were still functioning well enough for him to walk on his own. At the hospital, he gave a detailed
account of his worsening symptoms, and the doctor ran a thorough evaluation.
As the doctor flipped through his notes, his frown deepened. Before he could speak, Allan cut in, his voice steady.
“Don’t sugarcoat it. Just tellthe truth.”
The doctor turned his gaze to Rachel. “Mr. Vance, is this your wife?”
“Yes, | am,” Rachel answered, her voice firm and unwavering.
The doctor sighed. “I'll be direct then. I've been monitoring his condition closely. Since he was diagnosed early,
his symptoms remained mild for a long time. But ALS in adults tends to progress quickly once it starts worsening.
He has already developed a weakness in his hands. The next stage will likely affect his legs. When that happens,
he’ll need a wheelchair to get around...”
As she walked out of the hospital, Rachel's thoughts were trapped in the doctor's last words. “Speople can
go from sick to gone in just a month, while others might hang on for two or three years. Most folks usually last a
few months.”

They had just reached the parking lot when Alban arrived—Lizzie at his side.
Upon spotting him, Lizzie ran straight to Allan, her face streaked with fresh tears.
