Chapter 277

Laurel’s POV

“Doctor,” I said after being wheeled into the examination room, “do you know who I am?”

I put on my most confident smile. “I’m Laurel Rose, Hollywood star and Blake Parker’s fiancée.”

The attending physician nodded politely. “Yes, I know. Mr. Parker introduced you moments ago.”

My smile faltered. “So…”

I bit my lip and grabbed his hand. “Blake and I are about to get married. If he discovers I’ve been lying, everything will fall apart.”

“Won’t you help me?”

The doctor’s expression remained neutral. “How exactly would you like us to help, Miss Rose?”

Seeing his calm response gave me hope. Maybe this nightmare could still be fixed.

I sat up straighter. “Just hide the examination results. Let Blake keep believing I have terminal cancer.”

“It doesn’t need to be forever. When we’re married, I’ll figure out how to come clean. No one will question your diagnosis.”
