Chapter 38 Something Important
The last time she mentioned something important, she had talked of Leonardo. Was she going to talk of that man again this time?
“I’m in trouble,” Jasmine said with a long face. After pouring herself a cup of tea, she took a sip.
“What trouble? Can I help you?” Usually, she would be able to help if Jasmine came to her with a problem.
“Listen to me first. The thing is, Old Mr. Walker only has one son, and he is the chairman of Walker Group, Jacob Walker. Do you know about this?”
Upon hearing that, Catherine nodded but didn’t say a word and continued to listen.
“During the war, Old Mr. Walker got injured and became sterile so he places great emphasis on his offspring.for more visit :- www.noveljar.com But it was a good thing that Ryan has three brothers so Old Mr. Walker was relieved about this at least. However, he is quite old right now and wants great-grandchildren pretty desperately at the moment.”
Of course, Catherine understood it as much. Even her mother was beginning to be desperate for grandchildren at her age, not to mention someone as old as Old Mr. Walker, who even had to suffer infertility after the war.
However, she didn’t understand how this was troublesome for Jasmine. Shouldn’t she be happy that her baby would be loved by the whole family the moment the baby was born?
“Do you know, Cath? I feel so stressed right now. Actually…” Just then, she took another sip of tea before finishing the rest of the sentence.
“I’m ill… I can’t get pregnant and I’m still under treatment. I don’t even know whether and when it can be treated.” Looking depressed, Jasmine took another sip of tea.
“What?” Catherine raised her voice in disbelief.
In the past, Jasmine would always exaggerate and mention casually , “I’m in trouble.” Even when her results were poor, she would say the same thing. As a result, Catherine also thought that this was going to be something trivial when Jasmine said “I’m in trouble”.

Instead, the truth shocked her so much this time that she spilled tea over her own hand.
Although her hand felt burning, she couldn’t care about it right now since she felt miserable for her best friend.
Despite saying that, she was sighing for Jasmine deep down. Why would someone as kind as Jasmine have to suffer from this? How could a family as prominent as the Walkers tolerate a infertile woman in this situation?
