Chapter 1363 Keep Hiding It
Faced with his wife’s probing questions, even Brandon, the unppable and level-headed CEO of the
Larson Group, couldn’t help feeling a twinge of guilt and unease. Indeed, he had concealed something
from J.
That secret was the result of his medical check-up. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to share it with J;
he simply didn’t wish to sadden her. A girl as radiant as her deserved to lead a joyful life, unburdened
by such matters. Unless he could find a foolproof treatment, he intended to keep this to himself. So,
after a momentary panic, Brandon regained hisposure, quietly pondering over whether J could
have possibly unearthed this secret. Since receiving the examination results, he had carefully guarded
this information.
He’d not only erased the medical records but had also repeatedly cautioned Frank to maintain the
confidentiality.
Whenever they convened to strategize, he always chose highly private venues. Consequently, the
likelihood of J discovering the truth without his knowledge was slim.
It seemed probable that her present inquiry was merely a test. After ensuring he hadn’t left any clues
unattended, Brandon adopted a convincingly innocent expression, responding with a hint of perplexity,
"Darling, I’m at a loss.Why would I ever hide anything from you?"
He took J’s hands into his, uttering softly, yet persuasively, "You’ve been under immense stress
lately, causing you to overthink.I cherish you deeply.Rest assured that I’ll inform and consult with you
on any issue."
Brandon’s tranquil demeanor and his ability to spin a web of lies on the spot made J’s lips twitch in
exasperation.
True to his role as the CEO of the Larson Group, managing thousands of individuals, his psychological
mettle was impressive.He didn’t so much as blink while fabricating his stories. However, J wasn’t
one to be easily manipted.
Since Brandon had decided to hide this from her, she had her countermove ready. J smiled
nonchntly and said, "Mother visited me today.She learned about our hospital visit for the check-up,
which made her quite anxious.She rmended a seasoned specialist for you and urged that you
schedule an appointment at the earliest.An early diagnosis could lead to a quicker recovery."

For a brief moment, Brandon’s handsome features froze.
Although fleeting, J, with her sharp instincts, detected that slight stiffening, eliciting a smug, inward
smirk. Adopting a sympathetic expression, she took his hands and said, "Brandon, don’t misinterpret
this as me pushing you.Such matters shouldn’t be put off.If it continues this way, everyone will assume
you’re…"
Impotent. J refrained from voicing the final word, yet her implication was crystal clear. "What?!"
Brandon was so taken aback that he nearly choked.
His face turned an unhealthy shade of pale. But he would rather endure the world’s misunderstanding
about his virility than see J upset.
Hence, he quickly regained hisposure, even managing a strained smile. "You… You are right."
Grasping J’s delicate hands, Brandon replied, with an ufortable smile, "Which hospital did
your mother suggest? Who’s the doctor? I’ll go there tomorrow."
Witnessing Brandon’s willingness to tolerate the humiliation of being misconstrued as infertile, just to
spare her distress, left J entirely disarmed.
Her resentment towards Brandon for keeping the truth from her had significantly subsided in the face of
his concession.
She understood that Brandon had acted with her best interests at heart.
She recognized how challenging it must have been for Brandon to find a cure for her, given the
immense demands on his time as the sole head of the sprawling Larson Group.
Let alone the difficulty of keeping the secret even from Sean, taking all responsibilities upon himself.
J was well aware of these aspects, and this understanding only intensified her sympathy for the
man standing before her, who looked somewhat worn out.
