Armed with video evidence, Diana confronted Eric. She connected her laptop to the hospital TV and played the footage. His lies were exposed. The man who claimed to be dying could say nothing.
Security and staff were called. Eric and his lover, Victoria, were arrested for fraud and conspiracy. The doctors confirmed Eric had faked his illness. The betrayal was complete.
In the months that followed, Diana endured a painful trial but emerged stronger. Eric and Victoria faced justice. Diana, though scarred, began to rebuild. She found healing, therapy, and hope. The stranger who had warned her returned briefly to say, “Sometimes, the worst diseases are the lies we’re told by those we love.”
As the sun set behind the hospital where it all began, Diana finally felt free.
