Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1118

"Well..."

"For whatever it's worth, he shouldn't know! Let's keep it a secret until he officially marries Lina!"

Jesse always listened to his wife, and this matter was no exception. He would keep it to himself if she didn't allow him to tell others. He would even hold her down on the operating table if she refused treatment to stop the doctors from performing surgery. All he could do now was take care of her and be there for her on this final journey, ensuring she lived a happy and fulfilled life.

Jesse's heart ached, and he tightly clenched his fists.

Soon, Zuko and Lina arrived. As Lina entered, she sweetly called out, "Mom!"

Melissa welcomed her with a smile as if nothing was wrong.

"I told you there was no need to come and pick me up from the hospital. I've already packed up," Melissa said.

"It's Zeke who insisted on coming for you!" Lina whispered in Melissa's ear. "How about it? Isn't your son-in-law filial?"

"Of course!" Melissa patted her face. "You're all good and filial children. I chose this son-in-law for you!"

Lina smiled shyly, and Melissa quietly looked at her for a while as if wanting to remember her appearance forever. She had never felt this way before, but every time she closed her eyes today, all she saw was Lina from childhood to adulthood.

Melissa thought she would spend the rest of her life in peace, but time passed so quickly that she was now about to leave this world.

She looked at Lina and softly said, "Take your father to buy a pack of cigarettes! He hasn't smoked for the past few days, and I don't know where the shops are around here. He's almost going crazy!"

Lina nodded in agreement, but Zuko sensed that Melissa wanted to talk to him privately. When they were alone in the room, he asked, "Ma'am, do you need to talk to me privately?"

"You're smart, Zeke!" Melissa smiled. "Actually... it's nothing much. It's just what we agreed on before. We need to change your and Lina's fake marriage certificate into a real one!"
