Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106: Justin’s Confession.

Just then, the doctor arrived, followed by his assistant doctor.

Natalie immediately stepped away from Justin, her face etched with worry. "How’s my grandpa?"

"Stay out of it," Sephina snapped, pushing her aside. She turned to the doctor. "How is Albert?"

Justin silently caught Natalie’s arm, steadying her as he chose to remain silent at this moment.

"Mr. Ford is stable and awake now, but there’s a complication," the doctor said, his expression tense.

"What happened?" Sephina demanded, while Natalie anxiously waited, her heart pounding in her chest.

"We need to perform a minor surgery on him, but he has refused," the doctor explained. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}

"Refused?" Sephina’s voice rose with anger as Natalie’s heart sank. Trembling, she clung to Justin, fear and guilt swirling inside her, convinced that this was somehow her fault. Her grandpa must have been truly disappointed in her.

"Yes. Mr. Ford stated that he doesn’t want to undergo any surgery and that he doesn’t care what happens to him..." the doctor continued gravely.

"I’ll talk to him myself!" Sephina declared, ready to go to the patient’s room, but the doctor’s words stopped her. "You can’t meet him, Mrs Ford."

"What do you mean?" she demanded furiously. "I’m his wife! You can’t keep me away from him!"

"Mr. Ford has given us strict instructions not to allow any of the family members to visit him," the doctor said firmly. "He wants to be alone and has requested that all of you return home and not worry about him.

"It must be because of that wretch who put him in this situation!" Sephina snarled, pointing at Natalie. "He won’t refuse to see his wife."

"Mr. Ford has made it clear that none of the Fords are allowed to see him—including his wife," the doctor explained firmly. "As his medical team, we cannot go against his wishes, especially if it could cause him any distress and worsen his condition. I’m sorry, but no one from your family is permitted to visit him right now."

Tears welled up in Natalie’s eyes as she slumped helplessly against Justin, her body trembling. She didn’t even dare say she wanted to see Albert—she knew she had no right. Justin stood quietly beside her, his gaze calm, yet his mind clearly racing.

Sephina’s eyes flared with rage as she turned on Natalie. "Do you see what you’ve done? Now he doesn’t even want to live! What did you do to him?!"

Natalie choked on a sob, unable to speak. Justin wrapped his arms around her protectively, his expression hardening as he glared at Sephina. "Be quiet. We’ll find a solution."

Sephina opened her mouth, but the steel in Justin’s gaze silenced her. For once, she didn’t press the issue further.

Just then, Julia arrived, glancing around with concern. Sensing the tension and seeing Natalie sobbing against Justin’s chest, she asked softly, "What happened?"

Justin gently guided Natalie to sit on a nearby chair, wiping away her tears. He explained the situation to Julia, who nodded quietly, her own face clouded with worry.

"I’ll go talk to him," Justin said, his voice calm and determined.

Natalie looked up at him with tear-filled eyes. "But he won’t talk to you either...We both..."
