Synopsis

Terminal Illness Countdown

Divorce

Betrayal

Drama

Golden Boy

Ethan Chancer, a programmer, spent years working overtime and smoking through countless late nights. Then he was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. He had only six months left. Not wanting to become a burden to anyone, Ethan chose to divorce his wife and quietly handle everything on his own. But he never expected one disaster after another to come crashing down on him. He was mistaken for a thief. His car was smashed while parked downstairs. His new boss misunderstood him. On the subway, he was accused of secretly filming someone. Even a simple trip to the public restroom at the park ended with an old woman trying to scam him. Ethan had always been timid and easy to push around. But in the final six months of his life, he finally found a courage he had never had before. Whoever crossed him, he fought back. No mercy. No backing down. No compromise. With newfound courage and a few clever tricks, he stood up to school bullies, put his boss in his place, exposed the people who framed him, won a 100-million lottery jackpot, and even caught the eye of a beautiful lawyer. And just then, his ex-wife received a hospital report. She was pregnant.

Chapter 1
Ethan Chancer opened his backpack and shoved the medical report inside without any care. He did not even zip it up before slinging the bag over his shoulder and heading toward the elevator. Half of the report was still sticking out.He took the elevator down to the first floor and walked through the crowd of patients and their families.The hospital air-conditioning was so cold it seemed to seep straight into his bones. With the air conditioning blasting this hard, the hospital must be doing pretty well. Clearly, they were not worried about the electric bill.The moment he stepped out of the freezing hospital, scorching heat wrapped around him like a thick winter coat, leaving him with a faint sense of suffocation.He drifted out of the hospital like a walking corpse, crossed the street, and vaguely heard a driver cursing at him.“If you want to die, go jump off a building!”Ethan did not want to jump off a building.He barely heard what the driver said.The doctor’s words were

After walking several blocks and passing a few traffic lights, Ethan finally reached the apartment building where he lived.He did not go upstairs right away.Instead, he took out a pack of cigarettes and stared at the warning printed on the box.Smoking is harmful to your health.The warning was not particularly noticeable.He found it deeply ironic.He did not know whether his advanced lung cancer had anything to do with smoking. For a programmer who worked overtime almost every day, cigarettes had been his only luxury.He lit one, took a deep drag, and a strange question crossed his mind.Could the nicotine in cigarettes kill cancer cells in the lungs?He watched the cigarette slowly turn to ash, the smoke rising and disappearing into the air.All of a sudden, Ethan wanted to cry.His life was just like this cigarette.People had been taking from him, using him up, and in the end, he would become smoke.Then ashes.When he finished the cigarette, he fought back the urg

“Go ask your husband to carry it. Quit trying to guilt-trip me,” Ethan said coldly.“Do you have any common sense? Do you know how hard my husband works every day? As his wife, can’t I feel bad for him?” Tanya grew angrier the more she spoke, as if Ethan had committed some unforgivable crime. “Unbelievable.”Ethan ignored her.He had something more important to do.A few steps later, he reached the courtyard where the seniors were dancing.There were two wooden speakers, each about two feet tall. The sound was loud, sharp, and powerful enough to make the entire courtyard feel like it had surround sound.The speakers were connected to a music player, with an external power supply plugged in.With speakers this powerful, the batteries would probably die in five minutes without an outside power source.The power came from the community’s public lighting system. Somehow, these old people had managed to tap into the wiring for the streetlights. Whoever had done it must have known wh

When the boy’s father saw Ethan, he was clearly startled.“Ethan, what are you doing here?”What was he doing here?Ethan had said it countless times before. There was no point in saying it again.This kid jumped rope in the morning and at night. Sometimes he started at six forty in the morning. Other times, he started at ten at night.If it had only been at night, Ethan could have put up with it.But waking up after six in the morning to the sound of jump rope pounding against the floor was pure torture.Kids these days had it hard. They had too much homework, and plenty of students went to bed late. Then they had to get up early for morning classes.But none of that gave this family the right to disturb everyone else.If the kid went downstairs to jump rope, he could jump until the end of time and no one would care.There was a loud crash.Ethan swung the iron hammer straight into the center of the TV screen.The LCD screen crackled a few times, then collapsed into shatte

Bang.The fat man swung the baseball bat down hard.At first, he had aimed for Ethan’s head.Ethan did not even flinch.The fat man forced the bat to change direction at the last second, and it slammed into the ground instead. The recoil shot back up so hard that his hands went numb.“Anything else?” Ethan flicked ash from his cigarette, looking relaxed and utterly dismissive. He did not take the fat man seriously at all. “If not, I’m going back upstairs. And don’t hit the ground. Concrete is pretty hard.”The fat man was so angry he almost spat blood.Rage rushed straight to his head. He lifted the baseball bat and, as if the car were Ethan’s skull, began smashing Ethan’s car with all his strength.The hood caved in.The body was dented.The windows shattered.The fat man was strong, and his temper was just as impressive. After smashing the car, he even kicked the side of it twice.Only after venting did he finally calm down a little."You thought you could mess with me?

If Ethan had accepted the one million, that would have been extortion. With such a large amount involved, it would be enough to put him away for years.But by listing out the compensation items one by one, even if the numbers were a little high, it was still a reasonable claim.After all, compensation was compensation.Asking for a little more than the actual value was normal.No one here was stupid.Mr. Leed finally realized he had run into someone ruthless today, and he gave up on trying to trap Ethan.With the officers’ help, the two of them signed a friendly settlement agreement. Mr. Leed would compensate Ethan three hundred seventy-seven thousand nine hundred dollars. Both parties would forgive each other and neither side could publicly make statements harmful to the other.Once the agreement was signed, Mr. Leed was straightforward about it. He transferred the money immediately.Three seconds later, Ethan received a bank notification on his phone.The money had arrived.

The two of them finished eating in silence.Ethan cleared the bowls and utensils, washed them, and set them on the rack to dry.Then he brought up the divorce again.“Ethan, are you seriously trying to divorce me?” Megan asked, finally realizing he did not seem to be joking. Her voice was filled with curiosity more than anything else. “Did you have a screw loose?”“Yes.”“Why?”Ethan opened the nightstand drawer, took out his medical record, and flipped to the latest page.“The doctor said I have six months left.”Megan looked at the diagnosis written on the page and could hardly believe her eyes.Several minutes passed before she finally broke down crying.So she did care about me a little after all.Ethan suddenly wanted to cry too.Something hard inside him began to soften.Megan threw herself into his arms and held him tightly.“I’m sorry, honey. I’m so sorry. I didn’t care about you enough.”Ethan’s eyes reddened. They felt dry and sore.“It’s fine.”Things had al

The project manager quietly removed Ethan from the development roster.“Dinner can wait. Finish your handover first. And don’t rush to submit your resignation. The company has an event in a month. We’re going to Harbor City, and employees can bring their families. The budget is two thousand per person.”Ethan understood the project manager’s kindness.If he resigned now, HR would not make any special accommodations for him. They were not particularly close to the development team and had no personal attachment to him. There was no way they would reserve a spot on the Harbor City trip for someone who was about to leave.“I’m going to take some leave first. I want to go home and spend some time with my dad,” Ethan said, explaining his plans.People could leave, but projects could not stop.They would either have to transfer someone from another project or hire someone new.Because Ethan was leaving, the project plan had to be adjusted. The meeting ended in a hurry.Ethan organize

There were a lot of single programmers in the department. For many of them, finding a girlfriend at all was already impressive. No one had expected Ethan to have such a beautiful wife.Ethan put the laptop into his backpack and nodded to his coworkers. He was just about to leave the office when a stranger suddenly appeared in the development department.He wore a white dress shirt, black slacks, and black leather shoes. His hair was combed perfectly into place.When he saw Megan, he froze for a second too.Men all reacted about the same way when they saw a beautiful woman.His gaze soon landed on Ethan.“You’re Ethan Chancer?”Ethan was confused.Who was this guy?Still, he replied politely, “Yes, I’m Ethan Chancer.”“I’m Simon Tanner. The development department had a meeting today. You didn’t attend, did you?”Ethan immediately understood.This was the new head of development.“Hello, Mr. Tanner.”“Do you have a minute? I’d like to discuss why the last project was delaye

Simon was so furious he could barely breathe. His lips trembled.In all his years on the job, this was the first time he had encountered someone this stubborn.Someone who dared talk back to a superior so openly and leave him no dignity at all.Simon stormed out of the conference room, intending to chase Ethan down and drag him back for a proper scolding.But Ethan and Megan had already stepped into the elevator.Seeing Simon come after him, Ethan raised his hand and gave him a little wave.Then he smiled.That smile burned itself into Simon’s mind like a thorn stabbing straight into his heart.It made him feel humiliated.“I have to fire Ethan Chancer,” Simon thought, seething with rage.Ethan and Megan took the bus home.It was the first time the two of them had ever ridden a bus together.In another half hour, the evening rush would begin. They had missed it perfectly, so there were not many people on the bus. There were even three empty seats.The seats were not togeth
