Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 76: My Wife, My Family Matter

At the hospital, Albert lay resting in his bed after completing all the required tests. Sephina was there, waiting anxiously for the results. Albert, though calm on the surface, was nervous inside, wondering if Justin had managed to follow through on what he had promised.

Natalie entered the room, having finished some important tasks. She had intentionally stayed away from her grandmother to avoid any potential conflicts that might upset her sick grandpa and add to his stress.

"Now you show up?" Sephina glared at Natalie. "He’s been staying with you, the least you could do is be here for his tests."

"I thought I was leaving him in the most capable hands—yours, Grandma—so I didn’t have to worry," Natalie replied calmly, offering her grandpa a reassuring smile, though she could see the worry in his eyes.

"Don’t worry, Grandpa. I’m sure your tests will come back fine, and you’ll be perfectly healthy," Natalie assured.

Albert gave her an awkward smile, his thoughts running in a different direction. Everything will be alright? That’s exactly what I’m most worried about.

The doctor entered the room with his assistant following in the toe. Albert, the first patient ever praying to the gods for reports to come out worse.

The doctor scanned the reports in his hand, pressing his lips into a thin line, his expression suggesting there was something to be concerned about.

"What’s in the report?" Sephina asked quickly, while Natalie looked on with growing worry.

"Mrs. Ford, we were hoping to discharge Mr. Ford today," the doctor began, "but it seems we’ll need to keep him here for another month."

Both Sephina and Natalie felt their concern deepen at the news, but there was one person in the room who was struggling to suppress a grin- Albert.

Albert thought gleefully.
