Chapter 669

 669:
With a heavy sigh, Linsey said, “Jeffery, please think this over. I truly…”
She was cut off mid-sentence as Carol stormed into the room, unable to contain herself any longer.
Fuming with rage, she stared down Linsey, who was positioned by the hospital bed. “Linsey! You bitch! How dare you scheme to take my brother away?”
Jeffery was startled by Carol’s furious entry, and his first instinct was to protect Linsey, who was right next to him.
Standing her ground, Linsey faced Carol and retorted, “Isn’t it you who refused to be the bone marrow donor for Jeffery? Your refusal is my opportunity, and I intend to seize it!”
Carol’s anger reached a boiling point, and she looked ready to physically confront Linsey. She yelled, “I won’t let this happen! Jeffery is my brother, and I’m the only one who should be his donor! Just who do you think you are?”
She lunged towards Linsey in a fit of rage.
Jeffery’s eyes widened in shock, and he shouted, “Someone help! Get Linsey to safety!”
Luckily, Jeffery had prepared his team earlier while discussing with Linsey their strategy for handling Carol’s reaction.
Jeffery’s subordinates promptly intervened, escorting Linsey out to shield her from Carol’s attack.
While they led Linsey away, she made sure to get in one last jab at Carol. She turned back on purpose and said, “Jeffery, you’re running out of time. You’d better make up your mind soon. I’ll be right here, waiting for whatever you decide!”
Carol’s face flushed a deep red as she screamed, “Linsey! You cunt! Get out of my sight!”
The door to the hospital room shut swiftly.
Jeffery glanced at Carol and vividly recalled her intense refusal to be his donor just yesterday.

He nearly felt an urge to stop pretending.
Carol, oblivious to Jeffery’s subtle shift in mood, exclaimed urgently, “Jeffery! Ignore Linsey! I’m your true and only sister!”
Jeffery’s lips tightened into a thin line as he answered, “I didn’t accept her terms.”
Carol frowned as she remembered the conversation she had secretly overheard earlier.
Although she harbored a strong resentment for Linsey, Carol admitted to herself that some of Linsey’s arguments were logical.
She reasoned that Jeffery’s death would bring her no gain. Conversely, saving him now would likely make him cherish and pamper her more.
With this realization, Carol quickly blurted out, “Jeffery! I’ve reconsidered! I’ll go ahead with the compatibility test and donate my bone marrow to you! Your condition will surely improve!”
Jeffery was taken aback by Carol’s sudden agreement, which was a stark contrast to her stubborn denial yesterday, as though her own life was at stake.
Despite having lived with Carol for years, he recognized suddenly that he didn’t understand her as well as Linsey seemed to.
