241.Chapter 241
Jennifer let out a dry laugh. She said, “Don’t compare yourself to Donald. Teresa divorced you ages ago. She told me she only married you because she was moved by your kindness, not because she loved you.
“If someone you didn’t love kept pestering you, wouldn’t you be frustrated? Let her go, Jonathan. You two were never right for each other, especially with your mother involved.”
Jennifer was just a
bout to confront Irene when Irene and Cathy walked in.
Cathy asked Jonathan, “How’s Donald? Is he going to be okay?” Jonathan told her not to worry, but Cathy couldn’t help herself.
She pressed her hand against the operating room door, as if she could somehow see through it and catch a glimpse of what was happening inside.
Irene turned her sharp gaze toward Jennifer and asked Jonathan, “And who might this be?”
Jonathan didn’t mention that Jennifer was Teresa’s sister. Instead, he said casually, “She’s Donald’s friend and a doctor here, Jennifer Nelson.”
Jennifer and Irene exchanged brief, polite nods, their expressions distant. Jennifer thought, ‘So this is Jonathan’s mother. Why does she look so much like Genevieve? No, it must be my imagination.
‘Genevieve has always been warm and gentle, but Irene has a sharp, commanding presence that makes it clear she isn’t
someone to cross.‘
Cathy walked over to Jennifer and grabbed her hand tightly. She said, “Jonathan told me you saved Donald. I can’t thank you enough.”
Jennifer’s eyes widened in surprise. She turned to Jonathan, her face full of confusion.
Once Cathy and Irene were out of earshot, Jonathan explained, “If they knew Donald got hurt saving you, you might as well kiss your relationship goodbye.”
Jennifer asked, “Why are you helping Donald and me?”
Jonathan said with regret, “I don’t want my relationship with Teresa to affect you two. Donald’s the kind of man you can trust with your future. I just hope you don’t end up like Teresa and me.” With that, he turned and walked away.
