Chapter 580
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
go.”

“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.”
But Donald insisted on going. This time, he didn’t listen to Jennifer.
