Chapter 743: Chapter 742

Selena couldn’t help but sigh.

Why couldn’t her husband be more like that?

Gavin was still hiding his illness from her, even now!

Her hands balled into tight fists as frustration boiled up inside her.

When Gavin finally came out of the exam room, he turned to her and said, “Babe, you should get checked out, too. Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious.”

Selena flashed him a smile as she walked into the room, but the resentment she felt only grew.

A CT scan had radiation! Gavin was so desperate to hide his illness that he didn’t even care about her safety anymore.

But then again, Gavin was a powerful man. He had been the one to bail her out. Without him, she’d probably still be sitting in a jail cell.

As much as it made her angry, she had no choice but to go through with the scan.

After her scan was done, she headed toward the doctor’s office. Just as she got closer, she overheard the doctor saying, “Mr. Cobb, unnecessary scans expose you to radiation. Why put yourself through that?”

“It’s fine,” Gavin said, brushing it off.

The doctor sighed heavily. “The disease is progressing quickly. The upside is that there’s no pain, so even as it worsens, you won’t feel much discomfort…”

Gavin’s voice was tense. “How long do we have?”

The doctor sighed again. “By the time we found it, it was already late-stage. You’ve got maybe two weeks left. But there’s an imported drug that could extend your life by a few years. Would you like to try it?”

Gavin immediately nodded. “Yes, let’s try it.”

“The thing is, it’s expensive. A single round of treatment could cost over a million dollars. And even then, it would only extend your life by about three to five years. But maybe by then, we’ll have found a cure, right?”

“Exactly. Even if we have to sell the house, we’re going to fight this!” Gavin said firmly.

“Alright, I’ll get the prescription ready.”

The doctor began writing out the prescription, and Gavin quickly added, “Oh, one more thing. Please tell my wife these are just vitamins. I don’t want her worrying. And, um, could you give me some actual vitamins, too? I’ll take them with her.”

The doctor gave him a sympathetic look. “Sure.”

He had never seen a man so dedicated to his wife.

When Gavin finally left the office, he spotted Selena and nearly jumped out of his skin. “What are you doing here? You didn’t overhear anything, did you?”

Gavin was so nervous…

Selena’s thoughts darkened, but she kept up her sweet smile. “Of course not. Give me the prescription—I’ll go pick up the meds.”

Gavin handed it over, distracted by a work call.

Selena took the prescription and went to get the medicine. She charged it to Ryan’s card, so she didn’t think twice about buying everything on the list.

But inside, she was seething.

One bottle was filled with vitamins, while the other was for Gavin’s treatment. Her anger simmered.

Just then, a shady-looking man sidled up to her. “Miss, that medicine you’ve got there… it’s a special cancer drug, right?”

Selena froze. “How do you know that?”

He grinned. “I’m in the business of selling these kinds of drugs. See, this stuff is only prescribed to specific patients, but I can resell it through my contacts. Think about it—he’s already in the late stages. Why waste so much money? How about selling it to me for a discount? I’ll give you ninety percent of the value.”

Ninety percent…

The medicine had cost a million dollars. Ninety percent would be nine hundred thousand!

Selena’s eyes lit up. “Deal!”

She quickly sold the medication to the man, and after a moment’s thought, she went and bought more vitamins to replace it. This way, when they got home, both she and Gavin would be taking the same thing—vitamins.

If Gavin was going to die in two weeks, so be it!

Once he was gone, she could buy another round of the expensive meds and pocket the four hundred thousand. Then she could disappear abroad.

The idea excited her.

Maybe she was too excited because she suddenly felt light-headed like she was about to faint…

But it didn’t matter.

With the medicine in hand, she and Gavin left the hospital together.

That evening, Gavin came to her with two bottles of vitamins. “Babe, the doctor said we both need to take these. Starting today, we’re going to make sure we’re getting our vitamins, okay?”

Selena smiled slyly. “Sure thing, honey. Let’s do it.”

Gavin handed her the pills with a smile.

For the next few days, Selena and Gavin took their vitamins together every day. The only problem was that the vitamins tasted awful, and it made her lose her appetite.

Her meals got smaller, and she even started to lose weight.

For months, she had been trying to diet without any success, but now, the pounds were just melting off. She was thrilled.

She didn’t even notice the sadness in Gavin’s eyes every time he looked at her…

Time flew by, and soon, a week had passed.

That morning, Keira woke up and immediately got ready to head over to the Cobb residence.

Erin eagerly trailed after her. “Are you going to see Ryan? Take me with you!”

Keira glanced at her. “Are you sure today is the day of Ryan’s car accident?”

Erin nodded confidently. “I’m sure!”

Keira smiled. “Alright then, let’s head to the Cobb’s place together.”
