Chapter 1117


    Jesse walked out of the doctor’s office, his steps feeling as if he were walking on cotton. As soon as he


    opened the door, he saw Melissa standing outside, causing his eyes to widen. Without much thought,


    he quickly put on a smile and said, “Honey, why are you here? Your test results are normal, you…”


    Melissa’s eyes were red, and her voice trembled as she asked the doctor, “How much time do I have


    left?”


    The doctor adjusted his sses and truthfully replied, “Breast cancer is aplicated condition, and


    your cancer cells have already spread. You can extend your life by about five years with surgery and


    subsequent chemotherapy.”


    “Five years?” Melissa stood frozen in ce.


    Concerned that she couldn’t handle it, Jesse hurriedly stepped forward and held her, saying, “Honey,


    it’s okay… It’s just a small surgery. We can remove the cancer cells from your body, and everything will


    be okay, right?”


    Melissa then asked, “How much will it cost?”


    “Why are you asking about this!?” Jesse grew anxious. “No matter how much it costs, we’ll—”

    “I asked the doctor, not you!” Melissa yelled.


    Jesse was taken aback and immediately fell silent.


    The doctor looked at her and said softly, “Mrs. Jenner, you need further examinations before we can


    provide you with a treatment n. As for the specific cost, we can only determine that in the treatment


    n. But it will indeed be a significant amount. You need to be mentally prepared.”


    “We are prepared!” Jesse hastily said, “Doctor, please proceed! Regardless of the cost, we’ll have it!”


    “Alright, let’s go back now.” Melissa, however, became unusually calm.


    Jesse followed behind her in a daze.


    This woman who had been by his side for half of his life seemed to have never been more determined


    than at this moment.


    “Honey—”


    “I’m not getting treated.”


    Once they returned to the hospital room, Melissa calmly uttered the words.


    Under normal circumstances, Jesse would have thought she was throwing a tantrum with her fiery


    temper.


    Despite that, Melissa, without any fuss, calmly packed her things to prepare for discharge. She


    changed out of the hospital gown, efficiently packed her belongings, and only when she finished all this


    did she walk up to the dumbfounded Jesse.


    “I won’t seek treatment.” Her voice carried no emotional fluctuations. “The savings, the house, and the


    shop should be divided, as I mentionedst time. The old house and the supermarket go to Lina, and


    the apartment and savings go to you and Dave. After I’m gone, you…”


    Before Melissa finished speaking, she furrowed her brows and looked at the tearful man in front of her


    with some disdain.


    “Why are you crying as if I’m dead?”


    Jesse froze, stopped crying, and chuckled.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For

    Melissa rolled her eyes several times, frustrated with hisck of decisiveness, and lightly smacked him


    a couple of times. “You! When will you ever act like a man!? Jesse Jenner, this family will rely on you


    from now on, you know?”


    Jesse nodded, choking up with tears flowing again when he heard her say that.


    In his view, he would still treat his wife’s illness even if it meant spending all their fortune. However, he


    understood Melissa. She loved money so much that she would never agree to it.


    “Emptying our pockets just to gain five more years of life? It’s not worth it!” Melissa smiled openly. “It’s


    better to leave that money to our children. While I’m still alive, let Lina and Zeke get married quickly.


    Transfer the supermarket and the house to her name, and then I can rest assured.”


    “But honey…” Jesse choked on his words, and Melissa tightly held his hand.


    She was the one who was sick, yet she was also the oneforting him.


    “Don’t worry. I know my own body.” She chuckled lightly. “Don’t listen to the doctor. What do they know


    about cancer cells spreading? I’m doing fine! And I’ve heard that 80% of a person’s illness is in their


    mind! As long as I maintain a positive attitude, I might live for many more years!”


    Jesse wiped away his tears, afraid to speak and provoke her anger.


    Melissa continued. “Oh, by the way, don’t let the children know about this.”


    “Okay…”


    “Especially Zeke! What if he thinks I’m a burden to Lina and doesn’t want to marry her anymore?”


    “He won’t. Zeke’s a good man! He even donated blood to you when you got injured.”


    “That’s a different matter!” Melissa blinked. “Are men ever not practical? Zeke is not stupid!”
