Chapter 53 

After dropping James off at his hotel room, Briony hurried back to the hospital

Julia’s condition was stable for now, though she kept insisting on being discharged. The family was still keeping the truth about her illness from her, planning to wait until the treatment plan was finalized before saying anything

Once Briony had calmed Julia down, she went to look for Dr. Cedric Clarke

Dr. Clarke wasn’t in his office. His nurse told her he was in surgery and wouldn’t be finished for at least another hour

Briony nodded, deciding to come back later

As she passed the nursesstation, she nearly collided with Mack, who was coming out of the patient care 

room

Their eyes met, and Briony paused in surprise

She hadn’t expected to run into Mack here. What shocked her even more was the state of his faceit was so swollen and bruised he barely looked human

Of all people to bump intoMack sneered, but the expression tugged painfully at the cut on his lip and he winced, unable to hide his discomfort

Damn ithe muttered under his breath, glaring at Briony with barely contained fury. Don’t think you can just relax because you’ve latched onto Stewart! Briony, you’d better pray the match doesn’t work outotherwise, you’ll be the one begging me for help!” 

With that, Mack stormed off, his anger echoing in the corridor

Briony watched him go, a slight frown creasing her brow

A match

Mack came in for testing

Did Stewart ask him to do it

That seemed impossible. Stewart was never one to meddle, and with their marriage now on the brink of divorce, there was no reason for him to get involved in her family’s business

Why would Stewart help her now

Dr. Clarke?” 

The nurse’s voice pulled Briony out of her thoughts

She looked up and saw Cedric Clarke approaching, still in his white coat, handsome features tinged with postsurgery exhaustion

He stopped in front of her and gave a polite nod. Ms. Kensington.” 

Dr. Clarke, I’m sorry to bother you again,” Briony said, pausing for a moment before continuing, Has my mother’s treatment plan been decided?” 

Let’s talk inside,he replied

Briony nodded and followed him into his office

These are the reports from this morning’s tests,Dr. Clarke said, handing her several pages. After consulting with the other physicians, we believe your mother’s main issue right now is weaknessher system needs to be. strengthened before we can consider anything more aggressive. I recommend a blend of conventional medicine and supportive therapies.”

And once she’s stronger, will you move straight to chemotherapy?” 

Chemotherapy is only a last resort if we can’t proceed with a bone marrow transplant,” Dr. Clarke explained, adjusting his glasses. If there’s a compatible donor, surgery is our first choice. Didn’t Stewart tell you?” 

Stewart?Briony echoed, confused. Tell me what?” 

Your brother Mack agreed to undergo compatibility testing. He should be starting the first round of cell mobilization injections today.” 

I just ran into him,Briony said, her tone unreadable

I’m not sure how Stewart convinced your brother, but having him as a candidate gives us a stronger chance. If your mother has any siblings from her side of the family, it would help to reach out as well.” 

But the Hudson family had cut ties with her mother five years ago. Briony knew convincing them to help would be a nearimpossible task

Still, even the smallest chance was worth pursuing

I’ll try to contact them,” Briony replied, looking up at Dr. Clarke. How long will it take to know if my brother is a match?” 

About two weeks, give or take.” 

Briony nodded. My brother and I don’t have a good relationship. I’m sorry to trouble you with all of this, Dr. Clarke.” 

Dr. Clarke gave her a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry. I’ll do everything I can.”
