From the back cover

Diagnosed with terminal bone cancer, Sarah Vance shares a hospital room known as the Death Ward with Martha and Bill, finding warmth in Martha's cooking and the noise of life she was denied while guarding an empty mansion alone. Her husband, Lucas Thorne, has kept Chloe, his mistress, and the Thorne family blames Sarah for Chloe's miscarriage, leaving her isolated and ignored.

As roommates pass away and the Mid-Autumn Festival arrives, Sarah watches the Thorne family banquet on television, where Chloe sits beside Lucas. Cut off from her own family and stripped of her place, she clings to the small kindnesses of the ward while her marriage and her life slip away.

Many strangers liked the post.

Then, Lucas Thorne's sister, Mia, popped up in the comments.

"Ugly as hell. Do you think my brother will change his mind? You don't deserve him."

After a while, I replied.

"I don't need him to change his mind."

My oncologist sighed heavily.

"Where is your family?"

I shook my head.

"I don't have any family."

"None? How is that possible?"
