My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

783  Chapter 782

Selena froze when she heard what Gavin said, staring at him in disbelief. "What did you just say?"

Gavin quickly reached out to steady her. "I said, the one who has colon cancer... is you. Selena, where's the medication from the hospital? You have it on you, right? Come on, let me help you take it!"

He frantically started rifling through her bag.

Selena was stunned. "Gavin, what nonsense are you spouting? How could I have colon cancer? I'm perfectly healthy…"

But before she could finish, the nausea she had barely suppressed surged back up.

This time, she couldn't hold it in. She clutched her stomach and vomited violently.

To make matters worse, her abdomen suddenly cramped with a sharp pain. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Colon cancer...

Was it really her who had it all along?

Selena grabbed Gavin's arm in panic. "Gavin, I don't want to die, please… please save me!"

Gavin finally fished out the bottle of medication from her bag. "Selena, you'll be fine, don't worry. This is a special medicine. Even if you did ingest whatever that was, this will fix it!"

With shaking hands, he unscrewed the bottle.

Selena opened her mouth and swallowed the pill immediately.

She was utterly terrified, her whole body trembling uncontrollably as fear gripped her heart.

Was she really dying?

Could she actually have cancer?

No, no… she couldn't die.

She couldn't die…

But the more she tried to convince herself, the worse the pain in her abdomen grew. Grabbing onto Gavin, she cried out, "Gavin, it hurts so much, what should I do?"

Gavin was just as panicked. He glanced at the bottle. "This is the special medicine. The doctor told me it would relieve the pain. Why isn't it working?"

Selena followed his gaze, her eyes landing on the bottle.

That medicine was meant for her?

But wait…

She had already sold that special medication at the hospital and replaced it with vitamins.

This medicine was useless.

Realizing this, Selena's panic escalated, and she tried to throw up what she had just swallowed. This time, she vomited something dark, tinged with blood.

Gavin screamed, "Someone call an ambulance! Please, someone help her!"

Erin quickly stepped forward and took hold of Selena's wrist, frowning deeply.

"What's wrong with her?" Gavin asked anxiously.

Erin spoke with calm authority. "I have something that could stabilize her, but…" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She glanced at the bottle of special medication. "My remedy conflicts with this one. The pill she just took should have eased her pain already. Why didn't it work?"

Selena's eyes widened in panic.

She couldn't tell them! She had swapped the meds...

But if she didn't, Erin wouldn't give her the medicine.

As she hesitated, Gavin asked desperately, "Can I get her to a hospital in time?"

Erin shook her head. "It's too late for that. Besides, if this special medicine can't help her, the hospital won't be able to do much either... This is strange. Her symptoms don't match up."

Selena's fear got the better of her. "I didn't take the special medicine! Please, give me that medicine!"

Erin stopped, startled. "You didn't take it?"

Selena nodded frantically.

But Gavin was confused. "Selena, you just took the medicine. Don't you remember?"

Erin's voice was firm now. "My pill would be fatal if taken with the special medicine. If you did take it, you can't have this."

Selena was petrified. "I swear I didn't! The pills in that bottle—they're vitamins!"

Gavin blinked, his mind struggling to keep up. "What?"

Selena pointed to the bottle, her voice trembling. "That bottle is full of vitamins!"

Gavin opened it again and peered inside. Erin took the bottle and examined the pills herself before nodding. "They are vitamins. That's so strange. Why would you not take the medicine? Gavin got this special treatment for you—how could you let it go to waste?"

Gavin stared at Selena in disbelief.

Selena bit her lip. "I—I didn't want to spend the money. I thought I was fine. Gavin, I didn't know I was sick, so I switched it out for vitamins…"

Gavin still couldn't wrap his head around it. He pulled her into his arms, his voice breaking. "How could you be so foolish? If something happened to you, what would I do with the money?"

Selena sobbed against his chest, while Gavin's eyes filled with tears.

Ryan and Ellie exchanged a look, both of them rising from their seats.

Even Keira raised an eyebrow, her mind churning.

Ryan's voice was calm but sharp as he said, "Didn't you just say you thought Gavin had colon cancer?"

At that, Selena's crying abruptly stopped.

Gavin, wide-eyed, looked up at Ryan, completely dumbfounded.

Ryan didn't miss a beat. "Just a few minutes ago, you were yelling about how Gavin had cancer. Who was that medication meant for, then? Have you forgotten?"

Selena froze, her mind racing as all eyes turned to her. Gavin stared at her, realization slowly dawning.
