Jonathan . Donald’s voice came bam bebind them .
Jonathan and Gary whipped around , Donald and Jennifer were stepping out of the elevator , heading their way .
It was the first time Gary had to face Donald since finding out Wenter was his father . Donald’s gaze landed on Gary , who met his eyes . They both looked like they had something to say but couldn’t figure out how to start .
Gary broke the silence first , offering a small nod of greeting . Donald returned it .
“ Let’s go in and see Hayden , Jennifer said flatly to Donald
“ Yeah , sure , Donald replied .
As they disappeared into Hayden’s room , Gary stared hard at Jennifer’s back .
Jonathan turned to Gary and asked , “ What were you going to say just now ? ”
Cary’s mouth went tight . “ Oh , nothing Forget it …
In the ward , Werner watched Donald and Jennifer walk in . He glared daggers at Jennifer . “ Can’t believe you’d pull something like this . ”
Donald raised an eyebrow . “ What’s that supposed to mean ? What did Jennifer do ? ”
Werner pointed at Jennifer and snapped , “ Ask her yourself . Then he turned on Donald . “ Your wife’s a real place of work . She ran her mouth to your grandpa about all our family dirt . That gave him a stroke . Nearly killed him . ”
Donald shot a confused look at Jennifer . But she had her story ready , and she delivered it without even blinking . “ Mr. Lynn was here for a check – up . I just happened to run into him . He asked questions , and I answered . ”
Werner let out an ugly laugh . “ Wow . So you’re good at passing the buck . I should’ve never let Dervald marry you .
Donald had heard enough . “ Dad ,” he snapped , “ you’re one to talk . What about all the times you’ve tried to shift the blame ? Or did you forget why Mom divorced you in the first place ! ”
Werner shot back , “ At least I didn’t try to give my father a stroke on purpose like Jennifer did . ”
“ Shut your mouth . A weak voice cut through the room . Hayden was awake , glaring at Werner from the bed , his eyes burning with fury .
“ If you hadn’t done anything to be ashamed of , you wouldn’t have to worry about people talking , would your This is your fault . You put me in this bed , Wemer , Hayden snapped ,

fell silent , his jaw tight . With Hayden awake , he had to keep quiet
Donald tried to calm things down , “ Grandpa , easy . The divorce was their call . Dad cheated on Mom . I don’t blame her for leaving
A heavy sigh escaped Hayden . He reached for Donald’s hand and patted it gently , “ I know this must be hard on you and Cheryl
Donald’s eyes suddenly welled up with tears as hegripped Hayden’s wrinkled hand . “ We’re grown – ups , Grandpa . We can handle it . Please , dorad
“ I’m not sad ,” Hayden snapped , his voice rough with anger . “ I’m furious . At your father , How did I raise such a disgrace ? He’s a shame to this family !
Werner finally found his voice . “ Dad , I know I screwed up . I’ll take responsibility from now on ,”
“ Your responsibility ? ” Hayden shot back . “ And what exactly is that ? ”
“ To take care of you , ” Werner said quickly . “ I’ll stay right here by your side .
