CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1354

“No, not yet,” the doctor sighed heavily, “Your mother’s condition is incredibly severe. The chances of a successful surgery are very, very slim. She already had a weak heart, and now with this brain hemorrhage, it’s a tough situation. In all my years of practice, I’ve never seen anything like this.”

Quincy felt a sudden chill grip his heart.

He had always hated his mother meddling in his marriage, and had even thought to himself that it would be a relief if she stopped interfering one day. But he had never imagined the cost would be her life.

“Doctor, is there—”

“Whatever you need to ask can wait. First, you need to sign the critical condition notice. Every second you delay puts your mother in more danger,” the doctor interrupted, handing over the papers.

A nurse quickly brought over the pen and paperwork. Quincy grabbed the black pen and, without hesitation, signed his name. He watched as the doctor disappeared back into the operating room. His heart felt like it was lodged in his throat.

But inside the operating room, Mrs. Perez sat up on the operating table, looking nothing like a critically ill patient.

“Dr. Zimmer, did my son believe it?” Mrs. Perez asked cheerfully as she saw the doctor return. “If I hadn’t staged this, he’d still be throwing tantrums at me. Kids these days, they just don’t listen once they grow up.”

“He believed it, but you’ll need to keep up the act. After all, anyone who’s just had surgery is supposed to be weak,” Dr. Zimmer said, standing beside her.

His in-law happened to be the hospital director, and since there were no other patients needing the operating room that day, the room was just sitting empty. So, Dr. Zimmer figured he might as well go along with Mrs. Perez’s plan and help stage this act.
