Chapter 679

 679:
Gorman quickly interrupted, “That issue has been fully resolved. It turned out to be that nurse who set you up. You were innocent. I acted hastily and accused you without proper investigation.” He looked intently into Linsey’s eyes, his gaze piercing.
Then, in a voice trembling with uncertainty, he asked, “Linsey, can you forgive me?”
Linsey faltered in surprise, a tangle of emotions swirling through her.
She blinked, looked away subtly, and responded in a confused tone, “I’m the one who needs to make amends to you. How did we end up with you apologizing to me instead? You haven’t done anything to hurt me, so there’s no reason for you to say sorry.”
As soon as Gorman heard those words, his spirits soared. He said with a glowing smile, “Linsey, it really lifts my heart to hear that from you. It shows I’ve done well so far, and I’m sure I can do even better moving forward.”
While Gorman’s intentions were clear, Linsey felt only gratitude toward him. She pursed her lips, preparing to have an honest conversation with him.
Before she could begin, a knock at the hospital room door interrupted them.
“Come in.” Gorman’s mood shifted abruptly to a colder demeanor, disturbed by the interruption during his private moment with Linsey.
Linsey did not notice the change in his expression.
As the door opened, she saw the newcomer was one of Jeffery’s subordinates.
She asked, “Do you need something from me?”
Gorman also recognized the man as part of Jeffery’s team, his eyes briefly flashing with intent. He resolved to dig deep into Jeffery’s affairs and uncover everything there was to know.
Jeffery’s subordinate bowed politely to Linsey, visibly pleased as he said, “Ms. Brooks, Miss Lawson has just gone for the bone marrow test. Mr. Lawson’s parents requested the doctor to hasten the process, and we expect the results by tomorrow.”
Linsey offered a slight smile and responded, “That’s good news.”
The subordinate expressed sincere thanks, saying, “We owe you so much! Without your help, Miss Lawson might not have decided to proceed.”
He then sighed. “We were beginning to think she would never consent to the procedure for Mr. Lawson. We’ve searched far and wide for a suitable donor without success. Now, finally, there’s hope.”
Linsey answered gently, “It’s okay. You don’t need to thank me repeatedly. Jeffery has compensated me. It was simply a fair transaction.”
Jeffery’s subordinate gave Linsey a respectful nod and said earnestly, “Ms. Brooks, honestly, no one else could have convinced Miss Lawson the way you did.”
He continued, “Please rest well. I’ll take my leave now.”
“Alright,” Linsey replied softly.
She watched him disappear through the door, slightly taken aback. For someone like Jeffery—arrogant, stubborn, and prideful—it was surprising to see such unwavering loyalty from his people.
Her thoughts drifted back to the brief conversation she had shared with Jeffery on the terrace earlier that morning. Maybe there was more to him than she had initially thought. Maybe she just hadn’t looked closely enough to see the better parts of him.
