Breaking Mr. Cold (Giselle and Donovan) novel Chapter 600

On the way home, Giselle couldn't stop thinking about Anne's disappearance. The more she replayed the details in her head, the more she felt there was more than met the eye.

Later that night, as she lay in Donovan's arms, she asked quietly, "Do you have anything to do with Anne's disappearance?"

Donovan's expression stiffened for a second. "It has nothing to do with me. Don't stick your nose into other people's business either."

He then pulled her closer and added calmly, "All you need to know is that I won't let anyone hurt you again."

But his reaction only made her more certain of her suspicion. Giselle lowered her voice and pressed, "Be honest with me. Is she… dead?"

"I don't know." His face remained blank. "This past year, I haven't paid attention to anyone or anything except you. Whether she's dead or alive has nothing to do with me."

Since he wasn't going to reveal anything, she decided to let it go. After all, if he really had something to do with it, the truth was bound to be cruel. Once it was exposed, it could turn into a criminal case, and she didn't want him to be dragged into it.

Recalling how vicious and unhinged Anne used to be, even if she really was dead, Giselle felt it was nothing more than what she deserved.

"Don't dwell on it." Donovan was worried she might stress herself out and worsen her condition. He tried to downplay the sensitive topic. "When you passed away last year, I lived like the walking dead.

"How would I have the energy to deal with irrelevant people? Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I wouldn't put myself in danger."

Furthermore, abnormal brain activity was observed in several areas, including critical regions. Surgery could damage those nerves and lead to serious complications.

Hence, for the time being, the best treatment was to stay on medication. So long as she could go five or six years without an epileptic episode and her brain showed no abnormal activity, they could gradually reduce and eventually stop her medication. However, a complete, permanent cure was highly unlikely.

After hearing this directly from Tony, Giselle's heart sank to the bottom of her stomach. She couldn't help but ask, "Will this affect me if I want to have a baby in the future?"

"No, it won't," he answered firmly. "Your condition is acquired, not hereditary. It won't be passed on to your kids. So, you don't have to worry about having a baby."

"That's good to hear." Giselle felt a little relieved.
