Chapter 680

680:
Gorman’s curiosity got the best of him. “I was there last night. Carol was completely against the idea. She didn’t want to help Jeffery at all. How did you manage to change her mind so quickly? That woman has never liked you, and now she suddenly agreed to do a bone marrow match? Honestly, that spoiled woman has never looked anyone straight in the eye, let alone cooperated. And don’t forget, she even had the guts to kidnap you.”
Linsey raised an eyebrow at his rant, then casually explained the act she and Jeffery had pulled earlier that morning to convince Carol.
Gorman blinked, stunned for a moment. Then he broke into laughter, his eyes sparkling with admiration. “You really are something else. Who’d think of a move like that?”
Linsey chuckled too. “With someone like Carol, playing by the rules doesn’t work. We had to play dirty. Luckily, it worked.”
But Gorman’s smile quickly faded as a colder thought entered his mind. “Still, what Carol did can’t be ignored. She needs to be held accountable. I’ll have someone compile the evidence and send it to the police.”
Linsey didn’t hesitate. “Good. I think so too.”
Carol’s cooperation didn’t excuse her crimes. If she truly was a bone marrow match, the Lawson family could still file for medical release for the transplant.
There was no reason to let her off the hook.
The next morning came quietly, but with purpose. Gorman arrived early, divorce agreement in hand.
Linsey flipped through the documents slowly, her expression unreadable. Her face remained calm, lips set in a straight line, and not a single flicker of emotion showed in her eyes.
Gorman sat beside her, closely watching her profile. He tried to catch any hint of sadness, a moment of hesitation—anything.
Without looking up, Linsey asked, “Are you staring at me like that?”
Gorman smirked and raised an eyebrow. “If you weren’t paying attention to me, how would you even know I was staring?”

Linsey let out a soft sigh and chose not to answer. Instead, she picked up a pen, her grip steady, and signed her name at the bottom of the page.
“All done.” She gathered the papers, slipped them back into the document folder, and handed it to Gorman. “Have someone deliver it to Collin.”
Gorman took the file from her with a small, satisfied smile. The way she entrusted him with this task—it felt so natural, like they had been friends for years. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it right away.”
Linsey gave a faint chuckle, then glanced at him. “Have you eaten?”
Gorman perked up immediately. “Are you offering to feed me? Because I’d be thrilled.”
“Let’s go then,” Linsey replied without hesitation. “You’ve been running around for me these past few days. I think you’ve earned breakfast at the very least.”
When he heard that, Gorman’s smile stretched a little wider—and stayed there for quite a while.
Gorman stepped out of the hospital room first, holding the door as Linsey slipped on her coat.
