Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 670: Jeffery was uncertain whether this was due to Linsey's sharp perception of people or his own lack of insight into Carol.

Jeffery's gaze became somber.

Indeed, he could tell that Carol's consent was not driven by concern for his critical illness.

He understood that her motivation stemmed from her annoyance with Linsey's efforts to claim what she viewed as her own. Linsey had made it unmistakably clear-if he were to die, it wouldn't matter who ended up taking control of the Lawson Group, because Carol would lose everything she had.

Thus, Jeffery concluded that Carol had agreed to the donation, albeit reluctantly, purely for her personal interests.

And truthfully, if the Lawson family happened to locate a compatible donor down the line, Carol wouldn't have to sacrifice anything.

Despite Carol's self-centered and spoiled nature, her family would strive to spare her from donating bone marrow to Jeffery. They only considered Carol as a donor as a last resort.

"Jeffery, don't let Linsey donate, and definitely don't let Mom and Dad adopt her or give her any shares!" Carol urged as she clasped Jeffery's hand, seeking his immediate reassurance.

Her words pulled Jeffery out of his thoughts, and a wave of impatience began to creep in. He sighed deeply and replied casually, "Okay."

Carol, reassured by Jeffery's earlier dismissal of Linsey, was relieved and overlooked his indifferent response.

"Jeffery, do you know where Mom and Dad are? I've made up my mind, and I need to tell them. They'll be thrilled, and they won't stay upset with me after this."

The thought made Carol increasingly excited. Had she realized the benefits of agreeing to be Jeffery's donor earlier, she would have consented sooner.

Jeffery gave a slight shake of his head and said, "They likely stepped out to continue searching for a matching donor."

After a brief pause, Carol said, "Then I'll go look for them and help in the search."

Carol reasoned that if a donor were found, she could avoid the painful surgery.

"Go ahead," Jeffery said without any intent to stop her.

Shortly after, Carol stood up and exited.

Once Carol was gone, Jeffery felt a wave of relief wash over him, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

He couldn't pinpoint when Carol's presence had started to feel so burdensome.

Jeffery leaned back, his expression complex as his mind drifted to the moment he had just shared with Linsey on the terrace.

Surprisingly, talking to her had felt effortless.

Unable to resist, he pulled out his phone, his fingers hovering over the screen as he considered texting her.

But just as he was about to type, he hesitated. Wouldn't it seem too eager to reach out so soon?
