Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1357

As Janet neared the hospital, her turmoil grew. She was torn about whether to message Brandon, and if so, what to say.

"What should I do?" She stared at her phone screen, the chat page with Brandon open, and rubbed her temples in frustration.

Seeing Janet's troubled expression, Johanna chuckled and advised, "Just say what's on your mind. What can't be shared between husband and wife?"

Resting her head on Johanna's shoulder, Janet murmured, "I'm just scared..."

Shaking her head, Johanna smiled and took the phone from Janet's hands.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Janet jumped up, alarmed that Johanna might message Brandon without her consent. She lunged for her phone.

Johanna evaded her grasp and shook her head with a gentle chide. "Silly girl, if you can't find the words, then just wait. Staring at your phone and overthinking will only increase your anxiety."

Soon, the car pulled up to a private hospital.

Despite being steps away from her destination, Janet felt frozen, reluctant to exit the car and torn with indecision.

"Maybe... we can do this another day?" Janet suggested hesitantly.

Sighing, Johanna gently prodded her, "I'm not pressuring you. I just want you to know about your health status. You can't run away from this forever. It's something you'll have to confront eventually."

Her mother's words of concern stirred Janet to

action. "You're right, Mom. I shouldn't contemplate escape."

Johanna offered a supportive smile. "That's my girl. Don't fret about your examination. I've arranged an appointment with a top specialist. Even if there's an issue, they'll find a solution."

Johanna's team of specialists was extremely professional, and Janet quickly completed her checkup. Now, she sat anxiously in the hospital's VIP room awaiting the results.
