In the end , Werner still couldn’t on cathy . She stormed out , hailed a cab , and headed straight to her sister’s place . Cathy had two older disters He
eldest was Catherine , the second was Cecilia , and Cathy was the youngest of the three .
She went to her eldest sister Catherine’s house . As soon as Catherine heard about it , she snapped , “ Werner has completely lost his mind . At his age , how could he do something so disgraceful ? What a disgrace ! ”
Cathy pressed a tissue to her eyes , holding back tears . “ I want a divorce , ” she declared .
Catherine sighed . After calming down , she gently advised Cathy , “ Don’t go through with the divorce . Cheryl’s grown up now and is about to get marned . And since Werner probably won’t dare do it again , why not forgive him this once ?
“ Werner has treated you pretty well
Try to remember the good things about him . ”
“ Every time there’s a family drama with War sister – in – law , he always tells me to just endure it , ” Cathy sobbed bitterly . “ I’ve put up with this for years . always telling myself to stick with him no
“ atter what .
“ But this time , I just can’t turn a blind I eye , Catherine . I’m so wronged , and my heart aches . After all the love I’ve given him , how could he treat me like
this ? ”
Donald came home having caught a cold . Jennifer got him some medicine and poured him a glass of water . “ Take this ,” she said . Donald slumped weakly onto the bed , completely drained .
Donald couldn’t shake off his worry about the family situation . He was about to call Cathy when Jennifer stopped him . Jennifer said to Donald , “ Calling her now would just add fuel to the fire . Don’t do it . Just drop it . ”
Donald pursed his lips in frustration before reluctantly setting down his phone .
Jennifer sat beside Donald with an arrogant smirk . “ See ? I told you ages ago there was something wrong with your dad , but your sister wouldn’t believe me . She even lashed out at me . ”
Donald let out a heavy sigh . “ We absolutely can’t let Cheryl find out about this . To her , Dad has always been a big man . If she knew , she’d never be able
to handle it . ”
Jennifer said , “ You can’t hide this forever . And since your mom is talking about divorcing your dad , Cheryl will definitely find out . ”
Donald fell silent , weighed down by everything on his mind . “ Mom must be devastated . She probably thinks I was in on Dad’s lies . But honestly , I just didn’t want her to fall apart when she found out . ”
At that moment , it was Jennifer’s turn to fall silent . Finally , she said , “ Look , our home is what truly matters now . As long as we’re happy , let your parents
sort out their own mess . ”
“ I can’t just stand by . If Mom divorces Dad now , Cheryl’s at that age where she should be thinking about marriage . What will happen to her ? ”
“ It’s not your fault . Your dad just couldn’t control himself , ” Jennifer said . She almost thought , ‘ He totally deserves this , and so does Cheryl . She never appreciated my good intentions . ‘
Jennifer pursed her lips and swallowed the words . She said flatly to Donald , “ Get some sleep . You still have work tomorrow . ”
Early in the morning , Donald’s phone rang .
Werner called Donald anxiously and said , “ Cathy is staying at her eldest sister Catherine’s place . Come with me to persuade her to come home . ” No way was he divorcing Cathy .
After hanging up , Donald hurriedly got dressed , planning to take leave from the hospital and head to Catherine’s place to help Werner apologize to Cathy .

“ Stay out of it . Let your dad handle it ,” Jennifer snapped . “ If you go , your trouble ? ”
“ They’re my mom and dad , I still have to g

“ Just tell your dad you have to work . You’re busy at the hospital and can’t make it , ” Jennifer repeated firmly . “ Let him handle it himself . Don’t get involved . ”
