Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 660: Carol ignored everything Myla said and snapped, "I'm not giving him my bone marrow! He was out eating with Linsey that day. He's already turned his back on me! Why should it matter to me if he makes it or not?"

Suddenly, Linsey saw the door to the examination room open. Jeffery stood there, his complexion ghostly pale.

He leaned weakly against the door frame, his eyes wide with disbelief as he overheard Carol.

Jeffery managed a bitter smile, his expression one of self-mockery and resignation. "Carol," Jeffery called out faintly, catching his family off guard.

"Jeffery! What are you doing out here?" asked Myla, turning around quickly and steadying him with both hands.

Cruz hurried over and leaned in close, his voice gentle as he said to Jeffery, "The doctor mentioned you passed out because of the blood loss. How did you manage to wake up this fast? Let's go back to your room."

Jeffery nodded, then turned his eyes to Carol, who sat in stunned silence. He said calmly, "Carol, if helping me is something you can't bring yourself to do, then I won't ask you again. But after this, I'm no longer your brother."

With that, Jeffery slowly turned and, guided by his parents, took steps back toward the ward.

Carol stood stiff, stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst out, "Jeffery! Who do you think you are, cutting ties with me like that? We're family! You can't just pretend I don't exist! I've got heart disease, and you're supposed to look after me for as long as I live!"

Linsey, witnessing the drama unfolding, found Carol selfish and coldhearted.

Not only did Carol refuse to donate bone marrow to Jeffery, but she shamelessly demanded lifelong care from him instead.

Shouldn't it be Jeffery who needed care right now?

Shaking off her frustration, Linsey and Gorman didn't linger. They turned and left, heading back to the hospital room.

The room was specially arranged for Linsey by Gorman-a spacious, well-furnished space with every comfort she could need.

Gorman followed her inside.

"Linsey, do you care a lot about the Lawson family?" he asked casually.

But his real concern wasn't the Lawson family-it was Jeffery.

Jeffery was undeniably good-looking, with a striking presence. Still, Gorman wasn't the kind of man to act jealous like Collin. That kind of insecurity was beneath him.

As expected, Linsey didn't get suspicious. She answered softly, "Not really. It's just that so much has been happening with them lately. I guess I've been paying attention without meaning to."

She paused, then smiled knowingly. "Did you show up at the Lawson family's residence because you heard I almost forgave Carol at Myla's request?"

Gorman raised an eyebrow. "I didn't hear it-I guessed it. I was waiting at the door when I saw Collin's men dragging the Lawsons inside. He was probably taking revenge for what Carol did to you today. And knowing your soft heart, I figured you might change your mind if they begged."
