248.Chapter 248
Teresa said, “Just do what you want.” With that, she hung up. She felt helpless because she had moved on, but Jennifer was still stuck.
Donald had been stuck in bed for three days and couldn’t take it anymore. Jennifer’s distant attitude over the past few days had been driving him crazy.
Unable to hold back, he cornered Jennifer in the hospital garden during her lunch break. He pulled her into a tight embrace, ignoring her struggles.
He said, “Why are you being so cold again? Are you having second thoughts? Or are you still planning to leave me? Didn’t you promise you wouldn’t? I’ve already arranged the transfer to Nareigh General Hospital. We’ll go together, okay?”
Jennifer gently pushed him away and said, “But I’m Teresa’s sister. I don’t think we should be together.”
Donald said firmly, “As long as I love you, that’s all that matters. I don’t care about anything else.”
Jennifer hesitated, her gaze dropping. She said, “I still need more time to think about it.”
Donald said, “Jennifer, don’t push me to the edge. I’ve already told my mom. I don’t care about your family, I don’t care that you’re Teresa’s sister, and I don’t care about your past.
“You’re a kind, upright woman, and I love you. I want to be with you.”
Jennifer said, “But I…” Before she could finish, Donald kissed her lips.
Donald pulled Jennifer closer, his kisses deepening with an almost desperate intensity.
Jennifer felt her resistance melt away under his fervor. She placed her hands on his waist, but the moment her fingers brushed against his still–healing wound from the car accident, she froze.
Jennifer thought, ‘He was willing to risk his life for me.‘ Lost in thought, she didn’t even notice when a platinum ring slipped onto her finger. Stunned, she stared at it in disbelief.
In that moment, she couldn’t bring herself to say no. The days of hesitation she had endured melted away as she gave a small nod.
‘I swapped the samples to protect Teresa, but from Donald’s perspective, it would look like I have hurt Jonathan. If Teres child were ever discovered, Jonathan would undoubtedly blame Donald, accusing him of betrayal.
‘It could tear them apart, turning them into enemies. Cathy would resent me too. No, I can’t let that happen. I have to protect Teresa, my nephew, myself, and most importantly, Donald, the man I love.
‘I have fought so hard for this happiness, I can’t afford to lose it.‘
Donald chuckled softly, loosening his hold on her. He said, “You’re kissing me, but your mind’s somewhere else. Am I that bad at it? Looks like I need more practice.”
Jennifer shook her head and said, “I was just thinking I’ll protect you too, Donald. Always.” She was determined to guard the secret about Teresa’s child.
