CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1389

Mrs. Perez panicked. All Quincy's recent concessions had been because he thought she was sick. If he discovered the whole truth, it would likely end in a huge fallout, and he would probably go straight back to Lydia.

Her eyes went dark just thinking about it. "Quincy, please, let me explain."

"What is there to explain? The facts are right here. Mom, you're not a child anymore," Quincy replied, exasperated. "How could you use something like this as a joke?"

The diagnosis was clear on her chart, and he had even consulted specialists who said this illness couldn't be ignored. Surgery and treatment now could at least give her a good quality of life, but if delayed, even surgery might only keep her bedridden. He couldn't bring himself to ignore her condition.

"But I did it for your own good! If you'd just let me worry a little less, I wouldn't have had to lie," Mrs. Perez insisted, realizing her explanations weren't working. She decided to pull out the "mother's love" card, hoping to pressure him like she always did.

She went on and on, but instead of blowing up as she had expected, Quincy simply stood by the bed, watching her with a sadness that pierced deeper than any argument. "Mom, you've already gotten everything you wanted, haven't you? Just follow the doctor's advice and start treatment, please."

It was only then that it dawned on her that Quincy knew she hadn't had the surgery but didn't realize she wasn't sick at all. Well, that worked in her favor. She could keep using this excuse to make him back down.
