My Child and I Married a Billionaire novel Chapter 326

Chapter 326: Chapter 326: She Doesn’t Want His Heart

Brandon Jacobs and Elsa went to the hospital together. Damien Vaughn had acted quickly, arranging for Mrs. Vaughn’s surgery while they were asleep. The operation was a success, and she was now under post-operative observation.

He hadn’t slept at all the previous night and had been up for nearly the entire day, his face etched with exhaustion. Elsa told him to go to a hotel to rest, saying she would take over the watch tonight.

After Damien Vaughn left, Elsa went to the hospital room to see Mrs. Vaughn. Brandon Jacobs saw the professor was there and stopped him to ask about the pillbox from the day before.

The professor was cautious in his reply. "Where did this box come from? If it’s being taken by an acquaintance, why don’t you just ask her directly?"

Brandon Jacobs was frank with him. "She won’t say. Professor, I can handle whatever it is. It’s fine, please, just be straight with me."

"It’s not that I won’t tell you; I’m just not the right specialist. How about this, Jacobs? I’ll recommend a doctor who’s more of an expert. You can ask her, and you can go to her directly with any follow-up questions."

Brandon Jacobs was speechless.

’If he doesn’t know what’s going on, how can he recommend a specialist to me? Isn’t that a contradiction?’

’It must be a very serious illness. The professor is just being tight-lipped.’

He followed the professor to a doctor’s office and was introduced to a new physician. The doctor quickly identified the medication.

"This is a targeted therapy drug for treating breast cancer."

’Breast cancer?’

Brandon Jacobs nearly collapsed.

’Elsa is so young, and she’s a doctor herself. How could she have breast cancer?’

"Are you sure, Doctor?"

"I’m certain. This is my specialty. I prescribe it to countless patients every day. I couldn’t be more certain."

Suppressing his immense shock and grief, Brandon Jacobs asked why someone would get this disease and if it could be cured. The doctor explained.

"Generally, if it’s discovered early or the tumor is benign, it isn’t fatal. All it takes is some radiation and chemotherapy, along with regular targeted therapy drugs. But... you should still have your friend come in for an examination as soon as possible. Honestly, with modern medicine, it’s not considered an especially serious issue."

Brandon Jacobs immediately stormed into Mrs. Vaughn’s hospital room.

Mrs. Vaughn was still unconscious after the surgery. Elsa’s idea of "caring" for her was simply to sit by her side, lost in a daze. Brandon Jacobs rushed over and grabbed Elsa’s hand.

"Come outside with me for a second."

Elsa, annoyed, was dragged out of the hospital room by him. "What are you doing?"

"Come with me for a check-up. Elsa, if you’re sick, you need treatment. The sooner you start actively treating it, the better. You shouldn’t be so defeatist."

Elsa stared into his eyes. They held each other’s gaze for a long moment before she coldly spat out a few words.

"How do you know?"

"I..."

"Did you investigate me?"

"No."

"Then how do you know?"

Brandon Jacobs stammered, "I..."

"Does Damien know?"

"He doesn’t. But if you don’t get proper treatment and continue to neglect yourself like this, I will tell him."

Brandon Jacobs was simply too in love with her, so much so that he couldn’t accept the idea of losing her. He had never cared about anyone so much in his entire life.

Unfortunately, Elsa couldn’t have cared less.

"I told you to keep your distance, but not only did you ignore me, you’ve taken it even further? Brandon Jacobs, we’re through."

After saying her piece, Elsa didn’t even go back into the room, instead heading straight for the elevators. Panicked, Brandon Jacobs hurried after her.

"Elsa, listen to me! Elsa!"
