The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 425

"Is something wrong, Killian?" his friend asked nervously.

"Nothing." Killian hung up.

With nothing to do during the day, Jillian called Daniel to take some time off, briefly explaining her situation.

"You absolutely need a thorough check-up," Daniel urged immediately. "If you need surgery, you must get the best specialist. But is Killian actually reliable?"

"I'm not entirely sure. He said he booked an appointment with a Dr. Zimmerman, an octogenarian who retired years ago."

"Then you're in good hands. My family knows Dr. Zimmerman. My dad saw him for his heart condition. That man is practically impossible to book nowadays."

Hearing Daniel's reassurance, Jillian realized that Killian had genuinely found her one of the most elite experts in the field.

"I'll go see him and figure out the treatment plan before I decide anything else," she said.

"Just focus on resting and getting better. Everything is running smoothly at the company, so don't stress over work," Daniel comforted her.

After ending the call, Jillian FaceTimed Judith, giving her a brief rundown of what had happened the previous night.

Judith wasn't highly educated, and hearing it was a heart issue sent her into a panic. "What duct? How can your heart have an issue like that? Isn't that a blood vessel problem?"

Jillian smiled helplessly, soothing her gently. "Mom, don't panic. It's a minor issue. We just need to check if it requires treatment. I looked it up—even if I need surgery, it's minimally invasive and very safe."

Judith was consumed with guilt. "Nothing involving the heart is minor! It's my fault for not taking better care of you. If I had just taken you for check-ups sooner, it wouldn't have dragged on for this long."
