In the morning, Martha woke up with a faint tired look on her face.
After talking to Jimmy at night, she stayed up all night, thinking about his illness.
Until now, she still didn't know how to cure Jimmy.
Rupert told her that Jimmy didn't have much time left.
After the operation she was forced to have, she barely escaped the jaws of death, and her health was seriously damaged. Later, when Rupert was trying to cure her blood cancer, he treated it with a lot of drugs. He had no other choice, for she was so weak back then and needed drugs to sustain life.
She could only have the bone marrow transplant after she gave birth to the baby.
But who would have thought that those drugs hurt the fetus in her and Jimmy was born with aplastic anemia.
The best solution right now was an umbilical cord blood transplantation.
However...
At the thought of Stefan, Martha's eyes were filled with hatred.
He was responsible for all this!
She hated that man. How could she possibly have sex with him and give birth to another baby?
Martha stood in front of the sink, sad and lonely.
After she came to herself, there was a knock on the door, Martha put away her thoughts and adjusted herself.
She opened the door and thought it would be Jane. But she was surprised to see Stefan here in the morning.
Stefan saw her tired face and did not know if it was because she hadn't slept well last night, nor did he ask. After all, what happened yesterday was indeed absurd.
He handed the hot milk to her and said, "You looked unwell last night, so..."
"I'm fine."
Not waiting for him to finish the words, Martha coldly interrupted and then ignored him. She didn't take the glass of milk.
She thought of Jimmy's question last night. He asked her when his daddy would go see him.
If Stefan knew Jimmy's existence, would he go see Jimmy?
No, he wouldn't.
He would only regret that he hadn't kill Jimmy when Jimmy was still in her womb.
Stefan certainly would not offer to save Jimmy. Martha thought of this and looked even colder.
Then she smiled with mockery.
She didn't know if she was mocking herself or Stefan.
She would never forget that Stefan was just a ruthless bastard!
"No need for it," she said coldly.
Looking aloof, she walked around him, closed the door and went to the dining room.
...
In the dining room, she saw Jane sitting in the corner and looked much gentler.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Jane smiled and replied, "No, I just came here."
Half an hour later, the two had breakfast and walked out of the restaurant, ready to get on the bus to the development zone to do some field investigation.
When Jane saw that Martha didn't intend to wait, she couldn't help asking, "Ms. Doyle, shouldn't we wait for Mr. Harrison and Mr. Williams?"
"We can head there first. We're here to work, not to wait for others."
Martha didn't care. She was going to do a field survey of the development zone today. She didn't want to do it with them.
After all, the car race before already gave her a headache.
She really didn't want to see them doing stupid things for some personal reasons again.
Jane, standing behind her, felt Martha's unhappiness, and stopped talking.
Half an hour later, when Rhys and Stefan were about to set out, they learned that Martha had taken Jane to the development zone ahead of them.
The two men looked at each other. Martha was not here, so they didn't have to fake being friendly anymore. They got into their own cars and headed for the development zone.
...
In the development zone, Martha got out of the car and began to patrol the place.
Jane held a notebook, following behind Martha.
It was a huge area covering thousands of square meters.
Because the site had been in construction, and a lot of materials were transported here, the place appeared a little chaotic.
It was supposed to be a golf course for tourists who came to the island on holidays.
But later, after consultation, the plan was revised and a green park would be built here.
Meanwhile, on a highland not far from the development zone.
Joann held the telescope and kept watching in the distance.
After seeing only Martha and Jane, she smiled.
God was helping her.
She immediately called Hollie.
"Martha came, but I did not see Mr. Williams and Mr. Harrison... It seems that we can carry out the plan."
