Broken Vows and Buried Twins novel Chapter 22

"I don't agree to a divorce," Julian said coldly. "I won't force you anymore, but a divorce is out of the question."

"Suit yourself." Hester let out a cold laugh. "If you cooperate, we can just file the standard paperwork. If you don't, I'll take this to court."

Julian gave a chilling scoff. "No lawyer in Northwood City will dare take up a divorce case against me."

"Julian, you think way too highly of yourself." Hester couldn't be bothered to waste any more breath on him. "I've said what I needed to say. I'll leave the rest to the lawyers."

Julian frowned. He was just about to speak when his cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

It was Joanna, the housekeeper who took care of his grandmother, Bella.

Julian answered it. "Joanna, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Weston, it's terrible! Your grandmother suddenly collapsed and has been rushed to the emergency room!"

Hearing this, Julian froze.

...

In a VIP Ward of the private hospital.

Bella had suffered a sudden heart attack and was rushed in for emergency care. Fortunately, she arrived just in time. After the doctors' frantic efforts, she was finally out of the woods.

When Julian and Hester hurried to the hospital, Joanna was the only one keeping watch in the room. None of the other Westons had shown up yet.

This was practically the norm. Julian and Hester had long since grown used to it.

When Dr. Evans saw Julian, he approached him to give an update. "Bella's heart is failing. Once her condition stabilizes, I strongly recommend minimally invasive heart surgery. It's not a major operation, but given her age, the risks are certainly higher than for a younger patient. We'll need to sit down and discuss a detailed surgical plan."

"I understand," Julian said. "I'll have my assistant bring in a few top specialists for a joint consultation."

Dr. Evans breathed a massive sigh of relief and smiled. "That would be perfect."
