The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife novel Chapter 279

"Alright, then." Susan did not doubt anything and just nodded sweetly.

Accompanied by Julian and Jacob, Susan soon finished the check-up procedure.

While they were waiting for the report in the corridor, Julian handed a bottle of water to Susan, and his hand was shaking slightly.

"Have some water, Susie." He tried to make his voice a s natural as possible.

If Susan was vigilant enough, she would have noticed the change in his voice.

However, he was Julian, the person whom she relied o n wholeheartedly.

"Thank you, Julian. How did you know that I'm thirsty?" Susan took over the bottle and took a big gulp.

Sitting beside her, Julian and Jacob watched as she emptied the bottle of water.

Susan smacked her lips and her eyes became misted." Why... does this water taste so weird?"

Before her voice died away, she suddenly felt dizzy and the world in her head began to swirl.

"Julian, the water...” Susan looked puzzlingly at

Julian, then she saw the pain that flowed in the depths of his eyes.

Her heart somersaulted underneath the rib, and she turned around to look at Jacob who averted his eyes the moment he saw her turning her head.

Her mind was getting more and more muddled.

She did not understand what had happened.

It occurred to her that Julian and her brother had done something behind her. However, they were her family. There was no way they would try to hurt her.

But the water...

Before Susan could go any deeper with her thought, a sharp pain shot through her brain and she fell unconscious. 3

Julian had been prepared for this, so he quickly stepped forward and scooped Susan into his arms.

Then, he just stayed there, holding Susan in his arms, without speaking or making any move.

Looking at them hugging together, a sharp pang of pain shot through Jacob's heart.

With a hoarse voice, he said, "Julian, why don’t we just H

Let it be.

The last three words were stuck in his throat, and he could not spell it out no matter how hard he tried.

Susan’s life mattered above everything else. Even if the decision was tough, they did not have other choices either.

Julian did not reply to Jacob. He just quietly held Susan in his arms. After a while that seemed like an eternity, he went closer to Susan and whispered into her ear, "Please forgive me, Susie.”

He did not hesitate anymore. He stood up, bent over, and scooped Susan up. Then, he turned around and marched towards the end of the corridor.

Jacob stood at the side. He felt as if his legs had been cemented to the floor, and no matter how much he willed himself to move, they just would not budge.

He did not dare to imagine how Susan would react when she came to her senses.

He was just a bystander, yet his heart was trembling with a pang of insurmountable guilt and agony. As the person who made the decision and arranged everything, how would Julian feel?

Jacob watched as Julian sent Susan into the operation room. The door to the operation room was closed, yet Julian was still standing in front of the door like a statue.

Pressing his lips thin, Jacob walked up to Julian and stood beside him. He did not say anything, and just patted Julian's shoulders.

In the past, he always felt that Julian was not the man for Susan. After all, his family was too complicated.

It was just that Susan loved him a lot, so he did not say anything.

However, at this moment, when he saw how lost and guilty Julian was, only then did he recognize the man.

He was afraid that he could not find another man who would love Susan so much anymore.
