Seven Years of Marriage with Jake novel Chapter 62

Chapter 6

My brother, Ryan, had arrived with the medical team.

While the security guards and nurses were still in shock, I shoved them off and ran straight to my brother.

"Ryan, help Cody!"

He gave me a reassuring pat on the shoulder, his expression darkening as he turned to Lucas.

"You're helping an outsider hurt your own wife? Are you even human?"

"Where's the report proving Cody's brain death? Show me!"

I was trembling all over, my back drenched in cold sweat.

If Ryan hadn't arrived just in time, they would've sedated me.

I would've been forced to sign the papers, and Cody would've been gone forever.

Nancy composed herself and glared at my brother with arrogance.

"Who are you?"

"This is an ICU. Security, remove anyone who isn't an immediate family member."

Ryan wasn't fazed at all and shot her a cold smile.

"I'm Cody's uncle. Immediate family."

"And I have questions about your diagnosis, so show us the report!"

Lucas and Nancy exchanged nervous glances.

"How come I've never heard about this uncle?" Lucas sneered.

"Lola always said she didn't have any family."

My mother-in-law turned to me, suspicious.

I blinked back tears and held onto my brother's arm.

"I was young and stupid back then. I let this monster cut me off from my family... But now I know I was wrong."

Ryan leaned in and whispered, "Don't worry, I spoke with him before we came. He'll be on our side."

I breathed a sigh of relief, hoping Jacky would bring some justice to the situation.

Clearing his throat, Jacky began, his tone slow and measured.

"I've been briefed on the situation. So, Lola doesn't agree with Dr.

Nancy's diagnosis and has decided not to sign the donation forms. She also wants to transfer her son, correct?"

Nancy nodded hesitantly, fear creeping into her eyes.

Jacky continued, "Then bring out the brain death report so Lola and her family can review it. That will clear everything up."

Lucas and Nancy froze, their faces going pale.

Nancy fumbled for an excuse. "Well, due to time constraints, and the fact that our team worked overnight to save the patient, the report... isn't quite ready yet."

I couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

"Not ready? Or you just haven't finished faking it?".
