Chapter 1364 Finally Confess


    Brandon noted J’s silence and his heart rate quickened.


    Had J discovered something amiss? Was she probing him now? Brandon’s mind was whirling with


    conjectures.


    Even though he was the CEO of Larson Group in the professional sphere, at home he was simply a


    man in love with his wife. Consequently, harboring a secret made it near impossible not to panic in the


    face of his wife’s abrupt quietude. "Do you recall which hospital it is? I’ll ask Sean to clear some time in


    the afternoon and schedule a check-up for tomorrow," Brandon tentatively proposed. He caressed


    J’s face, offering soft reassurances, "Don’t fret.I’llply with the treatment protocol and recover


    as soon as possible."


    Hearing these words, J could no longer contain the flood of emotions within her, and she rushed


    into his arms. She wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her face tightly against his chest.


    The sound of his heartbeat and his familiar scent brought her immeasurable relief and joy. The corners


    of J’s mouth lifted into a contented smile, yet she felt on the verge of tears. Having such a devoted


    husband, she felt no regrets, even if she were to remain childless for life. Caught off guard for a few


    seconds, Brandon cautiously encircled her in his arms, gently patting her back. Observing J’s


    reaction, he had a hunch.


    It appeared the scenario he dreaded the most had indeed unfolded. After a moment, Brandon asked


    softly, "Did your mom take you for a check-up today?"


    J responded with a muted affirmation, nuzzling his chest. She was too ovee to articte her


    feelings, fearful that speaking would unleash her tears. Hearing J’s confirmation, despite his earlier


    hunch, Brandon’s heart ached as if pierced by a sharp de, and he found it difficult to breathe. He


    could not fathom the level of despair J must have felt upon receiving the news, nor how she


    managed to spend the subsequent lonely hours alone a home No wonder… No wonder she appeared


    so downcast.


    J must have been crying all afternoon before he arrived home. The guilt was all his.


    He had failed to shield her, leaving her to confront this dreadful revtion alone. For a moment, self-


    reproach surged like a tide, threatening to engulf the man who had always remainedposed.


    Brandon gently cupped her beautiful face, softly brushed away the tears trickling down her cheeks with


    his lips, and whispered, "I’m sorry, I should not have kept this from you.I just didn’t want to see you


    upset." J sobbed, her eyes brimming with fresh tears.


    Her long eyshes were adorned with droplets, making her look quite pitiful. Brandon, who had always


    been tender towards J, felt his heart wrench.


    Seeing her cry so destely, he wished he could shoulder her sorrow. "Please don’t cry… This is my


    fault."


    Holding J’s hand, Brandon guided it to his face, effectively pping himself.


    "You can hit me or scold me as you please.Just stop crying, okay?"


    Her eyes full of tears and concern, J hastily withdrew her hand and asked, "Did that hurt? Brandon


    kissed her palm, gazed at her fondly, and murmured in a soft voice, "As long as you’re not upset, I


    won’t feel a thing, even if you were to hit me hard."


    Faced with his tender gaze, J felt a warmth in her heart even as fresh tears trickled down her


    cheeks.

    "Why are you so foolish?" she asked, gently patting his chest.


    Her voice choked with emotion, she continued, "Why did you shoulder this all by yourself? I’m your


    wife; I have every right to bear these burdens with you."


    Brandon enveloped her in a tight embrace, offering soothing words and apologies until she gradually


    regained herposure and adjusted her mood.


    "It won’t happen again,"


    Brandon pledged, nting a kiss on her cheek.


    "I''ll hold you to that,"


    J responded, yfully poking his nose.


    Suddenly recalling something, she pped her hands and announced, "By the way, I have something


    to tell you."


    She still had news? Upon hearing this, Brandon couldn’t help but feel a surge of anxiety.


    Amused by his earnest expression, J chuckled and ryed to Brandon the details of her medical


    check-up and the customized medication.
