Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1117

Jesse walked out of the doctor's office, his steps feeling as if he were walking on cotton. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Melissa standing outside, causing his eyes to widen. Without much thought, he quickly put on a smile and said, "Honey, why are you here? Your test results are normal, you..."

Melissa's eyes were red, and her voice trembled as she asked the doctor, "How much time do I have left?"

The doctor adjusted his glasses and truthfully replied, "Breast cancer is a complicated condition, and your cancer cells have already spread. You can extend your life by about five years with surgery and subsequent chemotherapy."

"Five years?" Melissa stood frozen in place.

Concerned that she couldn't handle it, Jesse hurriedly stepped forward and held her, saying, "Honey, it's okay... It's just a small surgery. We can remove the cancer cells from your body, and everything will be okay, right?"

Melissa then asked, "How much will it cost?"

"Why are you asking about this!?" Jesse grew anxious. "No matter how much it costs, we'll—"

"I asked the doctor, not you!" Melissa yelled.

Jesse was taken aback and immediately fell silent.

The doctor looked at her and said softly, "Mrs. Jenner, you need further examinations before we can provide you with a treatment plan. As for the specific cost, we can only determine that in the treatment plan. But it will indeed be a significant amount. You need to be mentally prepared."

"We are prepared!" Jesse hastily said, "Doctor, please proceed! Regardless of the cost, we'll have it!"

"Alright, let's go back now." Melissa, however, became unusually calm.

Jesse followed behind her in a daze.

This woman who had been by his side for half of his life seemed to have never been more determined than at this moment.

"Honey—"

"I'm not getting treated."

Once they returned to the hospital room, Melissa calmly uttered the words.

Under normal circumstances, Jesse would have thought she was throwing a tantrum with her fiery temper.
