Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1361

The doctor's words put hope in Janet's heart, pulling her out of the predicament.

She immediately wanted to agree to the doctor's suggestion. However, she suddenly recalled Charis ' malicious gaze and Star Entertainment's beauty pills incident.

After going through that and having a pharmacist target her and Brandon, Janet became very touchy about unknown medications and avoided them discreetly.

Although the doctor before her was recommended by her mother, she still trusted Frank, a doctor who was Brandon's friend.

Because of that, Janet decided to consult with Frank first and inquire about the reliability of the customized medicine before determining what to do. After all, it was always better to be safe than sorry.

"Although your proposal is tempting, I want to go back and discuss it with my husband first," she said to the doctor.

The doctor smiled meaningfully and said, "Indeed, it would be wise to consider such matters carefully." After they left the hospital, Johanna was worried that Janet might be inwardly upset and insisted on taking her home. Unable to convince her mother otherwise, Janet had to agree.

Johanna kept observing Janet's expression during the car ride and spoke cautiously. "Are you okay? Don't think too much..."

"Mom, I'm fine." Janet laughed lightly, her clear eyes having none of the despair she was consumed with moments before. "I am your daughter, after all. How could I let such a trivial thing defeat me?"

Her words brought tears to Johanna's eyes. "I know you've always been strong, but I really feel for you..." Johanna's voice cracked and she couldn't hold back her tears.

The more sensible and considerate Janet was, the worse Johanna felt. She couldn't help blaming and hating herself for being so careless and letting someone take advantage of her, which led to losing her daughter for nearly twenty years. Janet had been through so many hardships on her own.
