169.Chapter 169
The next morning. Ei and caught a cold, feeling chilly all over because
ad been exposed to cold air through the night
Jonathan drove Edward to the hospital for an injection Edward wanted to go to the newest general hospital, but Jonathan insisted that going to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital would be fine
Edward was confused and thought, Tm neither a wornan nor a child, so why go to a Maternal and Child Health Hospitar?
ust as I dward was about to speak, his note started to run While blowing his no he started to feel wronged “Teresa is
wish She took my blanket to cover you. When the left, she didn’t even firing me a blanket ”
Jonathan glanced at Edward and raised an eyebrow Didn’t she call to apologize this morning? She didn’t mean to do that, she just forgot
“Well you weren’t the one who was freezing You were kept warm by two blankets, Edward muttered
Jonathan touched the new gray scarf around his neck, which warmed his heart this morning. The black one had been sent for dry cleaning. He transferred 10,000 dollars to Edward and said, “This is Teresa’s compensation to you”
Edward happily accepted the money, a grin spreading across his face. “A little runny nose is not so bad. I’m a man, after all”
Jonathan smiled slightly and said nothing else.
When they arrived at the hospital, Jonathan thought of getting Edward registered first. Using the excuse of taking Edward to see a doctor, he planned to meet up with Teresa’s sister. Bringing Edward here was all part of the plan.
Since Jonathan and Teresa were divorced, he couldn’t just show up at Teresa’s sister’s door without anything. Yet, after last night’s matter, he had to clear things up to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings
As Jonathan and Edward were waiting for the elevator, they heard a cold voice behind them saying, “Excuse me
Jonathan and Edward turned around to see a female doctor in a white coat, accompanied by two young nurses.
Edward, with his keen eyes, noticed the name on Jennifer’s badge. “Jonathan, according to Miriam, that’s Teresa’s sister, Jennifer,” he reported.
Jennifer had already entered the elevator.
Jonathan greeted Jennifer politely, “Hello,”
She ignored him.
Jonathan continued, “I’m Teresa’s ex-husband. My cousin has a cold, I brought him to see a doctor. Also, I’d like to discuss something with you privately.”
Jennifer glanced at Jonathan expressionlessly “Coincidentally, I also have some things I’d like to talk to you about.”
Jonathan replied, “Sure.”
Edward went to the general outpatient department first to wait for Jonathan. At the hospital café, Jennifer took off her mask.
Jonathan casually glanced at her face, which somewhat resembled Teresa’s but less attractive.
Jennifer cut to the chase. “As Teresa’s family, I expect you, her ex–husband, to have some boundaries. Since you’re divorced, you both should move on.”
She continued, “Last night, I saw the flirty messages you sent her and replied on her behalf. She got upset and argued with me for an outsider like you. I think it’s not worth it. After all, you’re merely her ex–husband”
Jonathan kept a neutral expression, calmly saying after Jennifer’s complaint, “I apologize for last night’s messages–that was rude. She never mentioned having a sister during our marriage. Had I known you two were close, I’d have visited
sooner.”
Jennifer smirked sarcastically. “Don’t bother with those high–sounding phrases. You don’t need to question how close I am with Teresa”
She continued, “You’ve been divorced for three years. Now that you’re rich and powerful, Teresa can’t match up to you. Let berga. It’ll bless your family”
“She and 1- Jonathan spoke
Jennifer interrupted him. “There’s no point in talking. I’m just telling you Teresa won’t remarry you, nor does she want anything to do with your family. Doesn’t your mom disapprove of you pestering Teresa? As Teresa’s sister, I disapprove, too.”
Jonathan was speechless.
Jennifer had already left, leaving Jonathan frowning. It felt like he hadn’t said a word before Teresa’s sister bombarded him. Then, Jonathan went to look for Donald
ov? Since
In the office, Jonathan crossed his arms over his chest and leaned back against the desk. “What’s Jennifer’s story?

your colleague, did you already know sha’s
It’s not like that, Jonathan Let me explain Donald ved his lips, feeling guy only found tently myst Donald confessed that when Jennifer needed a blood transfusion after they were sitters, as the immediate family’s blood wasnt usable
sedent, Teresas offered to the sunny
A flicker of regret appeared in Jonathan’s eyes. He thought, Teresa’s sister had car accident and lost so much wood Teresa must’ve been terrified, but I wasn’t there for her the didn’t even tell me about this
Donald added. “I was thinking of telling you once you got back from your
Jonathan snapped back to reality, rubbing his temples. “I just met her sister Her sister’s personality is hard to figure out I hadn’t even said anything before she snapped at me.”
Donald said, “That’s just how Jennifer in the speaks directly because she’s had a tough time throughout the years, which has made her more sensitive if she offended you, let me apologize on her behalf boot hold it against her
Jonathan was confused. He stared at Donald in disbelief while Donald kept gently calling Jennifer’s name “Could it be you have feelings for Teresa’s sister? Were you accompanying her on New Year’s Eve?” asked Jonadi
Donald’s ears reddened, and he nodded shyly. “Tve liked her for a long time, but I still ha
Jonathan couldn’t help but laugh at this. He considered checking the farmily registry to see if they owed something to the Johnston family.
He thought, I’m already nearly driven crazy by Teresa. Now Donald likes her sister, who isn’t even interested in him Wh does our family have such bad luck?”
“Not winning her over just means it wasn’t meant to be. Why not consider someone else? What decent doctor would be interested in his cousin’s ex–wife’s sister?” asked Jonathan,
Jonathan was just joking around, but Donald took it seriously.
Donald responded, “I just like her. I’ve already thought it through. Once she and I are married, she’ll be mine. You’ll be his cousin–in–law, and they’ll remain as each other’s sister.”
Jonathan didn’t expect Donald to be planning so far ahead. He himself hadn’t thought that far yet. However, seeing how thrilled Donald was, Jonathan couldn’t help but cheer Donald on.
As night fell, since Jonathan didn’t return home on January 15th, Irene made special arrangements and invited her sister Heidi over for dinner.
Jonathan returned with Donald and Edward Jonathan casually told Irene that Edward had fallen sick, so Jonathan took Edward to the hospital and returned together.
“Edward, how did you catch a cold?” Heidi asked, gently touching Edward’s face with concern.
Edward felt a bit uneasy. “Mom, I’m fine. I won’t die from it.”
“Knock on wood! It’s still January, don’t talk like something bad is going to happen, replied Heidi.
“All right, everyone. Take a seat and let’s eat,” said Irene. “Donald, you sit down too.”
“Thanks, Irene, Donald said as he rolled up his sleeves. Til help get the tableware.”
Heidi pinched Edward’s arm “Look at him, being so polite and attentive. And you? All you do is play around all day!” “I’m not playing all the time!” Edward immediately lost interest in talking to Heidi.
