All Chapters of Dr. Brandt: Billionaires’ Club Book 5: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

“Jackson, are you sure you don’t want to come with us?” I asked, starting to feel uneasy about leaving my son.“Mom, like Cam said, sometimes you have to let them grow up a little.”“Yeah, Cam did say that, but that was before Iremembered that I was sending you to stay an entire week with Jake.”He smiled, “I’m leaving before Mom insists I go with you guys.” Jackson leaned in and gave me another quick hug before turning and walking off. “Love you.”“Love you too, Jacks,” I said.Cam brought his arm around me. “Ready to do this?”I looked around for the luggage. “Um, what the hell happened to our bags?”“The captain is loading it for us,” he said, walking me toward the plane. “And the flight attendant already has your favorite pasta ready to serve once we’re in the air.”“Holy shit, is that how these private jets work?”“Yeah, Jim pays these guys the big bucks to ensure every need is met while we fly the friendly skies.” “Now you’re just being an ass,” I said.“True,” he kissed my tem

“I’m waiting on a call back from Dr. Fremont. He’s the physician caring for Jackson until I return. They’re running scans on him, and we’ll have those results within the hour. I’ve already called ahead to my medical team, and they are calling in the ones I specifically requested for surgery if that is my decision. Unfortunately, I won’t know more until we arrive at the hospital, so we desperately need to leave.” He took my elbow in his hand, “Are you able to walk? Your legs seem a bit shaky.”“Yes, I’m fine,” I said. “We need to go.”“Please, have the luggage transported to the airport. I’ll ensure the next commercial flight brings them to LAX, where they will be received,” Cam said to one of the housemaids frantically running around, gathering our items that were strewn all over the place.Ring! Ring!The sound of Cam’s phone as we sat silently in the car nearly made me jump out of my skin.“Yeah, you’re on speaker, Collin,” Cam said, looking at me.“Jessa is next to you, I’m assumin

“All right,” he interrupted me, half chuckling. “You don’t need to bullshit me with all that stuff. I know you’re a fine surgeon, Brandt. I just need to know where your mind is at. You know that we do not advise doing surgery on our loved ones. You understand this, yes?”“More than you know, and I will ensure that it is not taken for granted that you’ve allowed me this opportunity, sir.”“I just want to know that when you storm into this hospital, your head is in the right place.”“I understand that, thank you. And thank you for calling on my patient’s behalf,” I responded.“Fremont is still with him, and I will be at Fremont’s side until you arrive. It’s my day off, but I want to be here for you, the family, and our staff, as I know this will be felt personally. You have family behind you, Dr. Brandt. That is what makes us a unique medical team. So do not let your mind go there and feel alone in any decision you make moving forward.”“I appreciate and understand that. Thanks, Chief,”

“Well, you know that Collin is a neurosurgeon, and though pediatrics is not his specialty, he also deals with epileptic patients. He shared a few stories with Jacks, making it more real for the kid. Jacks realized that he’d be foolish not to have it. He agreed—” he paused, and I could see tears in his eyes.I watched as a tear slipped out of the corner of his eye, running down to the dark stubble of his cheek. “So, he was willing to have the surgery?”“Yes. Fuck, I can’t let these emotions get into my head. I’m doing a good job keeping them pushed down.” He sniffed, then shook his head and frowned. Finally, he looked at me with glaring sincerity. “I’m so sorry I didn’t see this coming. I’m sorry to you and Jacks, but I promise I will make this right and fix him. I will bring him back to us with a healthier brain.”“Stop apologizing, and just fix our son, Cameron,” I said. I was feeling a million emotions but holding onto one— determination.I knew Jackson would get better, and he woul

“Come back to me, Jackson. Please wake up and talk to me, yell at me, or tell me you want me to leave you alone!” I was pleading, begging, and crying with the desolation I felt. “Tell me anything, baby. Just please wake up. Please, please, wake up, Jacks.”I let the tears erupt from deep inside and laid my head on his chest, holding him and wishing he was awake to shove me off him. I felt like I would go mad if Cameron didn’t have a solution by tomorrow. I needed something. Right now, all I could do was sob and be as close to my sleeping, handsome man as I could be.“Come here, Jess,” Cam said, rousing me awake after falling asleep on Jacks.He positioned me to turn and face where he knelt in front of me. I reached for his face and studied his eyes. “I need him back, Cam,” I said, running my thumbunderneath Cam’s brilliant eyes. “Please do something.”I started crying again and leaned into his embrace. I felt Cam soften and hold me for the first time since meeting the solemn surgeon
