The Coma Prince’s Fiancée novel Chapter 13

Jennifer suddenly stiffened, her eyes wide. “How do you know about that?” The words slipped out before she could stop them.

Everyone else in the room fell silent, their faces turning tense.

Sophia rushed over, her voice shaking. “Mom, no way. You can’t have breast cancer. That’s not possible, is it?”

Jennifer’s usually polished face looked defeated, all her confidence disappearing. “I had a checkup last month. The results came back—late stage. I’ve called every specialist I could. Even the best in the country agree… my chances aren’t good.”

That was why she’d been fighting so hard to get more for Sophia from the Russell family. Before, Paulina was talented, but she didn’t have Russell blood. Sophia was the only real Russell girl of her generation. Jennifer never thought Paulina deserved to compete with Sophia for anything.

But now Rebecca was back, and she was the child Madonna and Fabian had missed for twenty years. Of course they’d be biased.

Madonna spoke first. “Jennifer, don’t lose hope. If nothing works here, there’s always treatment overseas. I’ll call Robin for you. He’s the top breast cancer specialist abroad. Maybe he’ll have an option.”

“Robin Wilson?” Rebecca shook her head. “Not with what she needs right now.”

“Robin is the best in the world,” Paulina said, coming down the stairs. “If even he can’t help, Rebecca, are you saying Jennifer has no hope left?”

She said it casually, but Sophia caught her meaning and snapped at Rebecca. “You little bitch, are you trying to curse my mom on purpose?”

Madonna’s face darkened, and Fabian didn’t look happy either.

“If anyone insults my daughter again in this house, they can leave. I mean it,” Madonna said, her tone cold. She had been willing to let things slide because Jennifer was sick, but no one was allowed to keep disrespecting her daughter.
