Son In Law Madness novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284 Line In The Sand

Given the circumstances, that meant Donald was no longer into her.

She stared at Donald, dumbfounded as tears flowed nonstop. The expression on her face was a complex mix of regret, guilt, and mourning.

“Can I have a minute with Donald?” Jennifer asked in a low voice while biting her lip.

Wynter and the rest exchanged glances before walking out of the ward in unison, leaving Donald and Jennifer alone in the large room.

Meanwhile, Jennifer could see clearly that Donald’s eyes were losing their previous luster.

“Donald…” Jennifer sat down beside him and held his right arm.

When she laid eyes on it, her heart sank again.

There were rough cracks on his arm, and the veins in it bulged. As soon as she saw it, she knew it was in poor condition. Other than that, his face was deathly pale. Moreover, all of his thick, raven hair had become silvery.

“Jadar Stone had rid me of all of my vitality,” he said.

Jennifer kissed his right arm and then rubbed it with her cheek. Shaking her head, she wept. “I’m sorry… But why did you act in such a silly way? Why didn’t you leave even though you knew the stone could be fatal to you?”

Donald’s gaze became steely. “Leave? What would happen to the lab if I had left? Do you seriously think you will get to live on, free of consequences, if there’s a data breach? Will your trashy brother get to continue going around being a show-off if I had left?”

Jennifer would never understand Donald’s patriotism and heroism.

“Leave. Go home.” Donald retracted his arm. “I’m just a dying man.”

No longer able to contain her feelings of sorrow, Jennifer collapsed into his arms and bawled her eyes out.

Although Donald wanted to fly into a rage, he suppressed that urge, choosing instead to persuade her in a gentle voice, “I’m tired. I need some rest.”
