He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 465

Julian’s expression instantly turned grim. Crouching in front of her, he maintained a steady, composed tone.

"Scarlett, listen to me. If she really needs chemo, your brother and I will tear the globe apart looking for a bone marrow match. We’ll bankrupt ourselves if we have to, but we will find one. Don't borrow grief from the future. What if she’s fine and this is all just a massive false alarm?"

She looked at him with shattered eyes, emotionally decimated. "But what if he’s right? Does that mean... we can never get divorced? That I’m forced to have another baby with him?"

She couldn’t bear to spiral down that path. It felt like the universe was playing a sick, twisted joke on her. Things had escalated to a point of no return; she had been desperately counting the days until the divorce was finalized so she could finally be free.

But now, if her daughter's condition was truly fatal... would she really have to crawl back into his bed? The mere thought was so absurd and horrifying her mind outright rejected it.

Seeing her so broken felt like a knife twisting in Julian’s chest. In that split second, he realized there were things he couldn’t keep buried anymore. He needed to tell her.

Leaving her to drown in this nightmare alone was too cruel.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "We aren't there yet. But even if the worst-case scenario happens... I’ll be right here. I’ll face it with you. Actually, my feelings for you..."

His heart was hammering against his ribs. The confession had been sitting on the tip of his tongue for a long time. He wanted to say it now, hoping it would give her an anchor in the storm.
