Chapter 157 Jealousy
The morning sun illuminated Donald’s face and emphasized his clear and defined features. Jennifer felt that there was a strange unfamiliarity about him.
“Lana chanced upon you and brought you out,” Donald explained.
Jennifer’s face darkened instantly. She then asked softly, “Aren’t I useless?”
As she was speaking, she readied herself for another round of crying.
Donald sighed. “Rest well. Don’t think too much. There is fifteen million in this card. Use it.”
Jennifer did not accept it. “Where did you get the money from?”
“I lent it to him.” The door was pushed open, and Hannah walked in with a cold expression on her face.
She went up to Jennifer and inspected her before she said indifferently, “There are no major problems. Rest more.”
Jennifer looked at Donald, then turned and glanced at Hannah with suspicion.
Did she lend him fifteen million just like this?
After checking up on Jennifer, Hannah did not exchange further greetings with them. She walked out and shut the door behind her.
“Are you still working as a security guard for Lana?” Jennifer asked.
Donald nodded. “I’ll make do with it for the time being. If there’s any other suitable job in the future, I’ll switch to it.”
“How much does she pay you monthly?” Jennifer asked quietly as she bit her lip.
Donald thought about it and replied, “Around five thousand or eight thousand. I don’t remember.”
Jennifer froze.
Who doesn’t remember his monthly salary?
She hesitated for a moment before saying, “I’ll give you ten thousand. Why don’t you be my security guard?”
Donald laughed bitterly. “What’s the point?”
Jennifer sat up. “Who would reject the offer?”
“Have your parents agreed to it?” Donald stared at Jennifer seriously. His gaze met her eyes, and he continued, “Your parents and your brother wish me dead. Do you think that I can be your security guard?”
Jennifer’s face fell.
“I’d told you a long time ago. Kevin will harm you sooner or later.” Donald’s tone grew distant. “If we had not appeared suddenly, what would have happened?”
A flicker of fear flashed through Jennifer’s eyes.
“So, don’t think about this anymore. After you’ve been discharged, find a proper job. Don’t care about Kevin no matter what he does, or there will be more serious consequences,” Donald told her sincerely.
He had seen many people like Kevin. No matter what, they would never change for the better.
Gamblers were not worthy of sympathy.
Silence enveloped the room. Donald turned and handed Jennifer a thermos flask. “Have some oatmeal porridge.”
“Feed me.” Hope shone in Jennifer’s eyes as she looked at Donald.
Donald agreed unflinchingly.
He gently opened the flask and fed her.
“It’s hot.” Jennifer let out a girlish whine.
Donald placed the spoon in front of his lips and blew softly on it. Thereafter, he fed her the food.
Jennifer closed her eyes happily and sighed to herself.
How long has it been since I’ve experienced such warmth?
Outside the ward, Lana pouted with disdain. Hannah was expressionless while Reina’s lips twitched in annoyance.
“She’s the luckiest woman on earth. Yet, she doesn’t know how to treasure him,” Reina remarked a little jealously.
Lana replied, “You’re right. He’s so powerful that he destroyed the Fortune Bar effortlessly. How manly. I like it so much.”
“One of you is a sly seductress, while the other is an infatuated female!” Hannah scolded expressionlessly.
Jennifer looked exceptionally beautiful as she ate the oatmeal porridge. Her pretty teeth flashed as she asked, “Grandpa’s birthday is coming up, right?”
“It’s the day after,” Donald responded.
“Where is the celebration going to be held?” Jennifer inquired.
“He doesn’t want to waste too many resources and money, so he arranged it to be held at South Bridge Restaurant.” Donald placed the bowl down and took out a napkin. He meticulously dabbed at Jennifer’s lips.
Touched, Jennifer grasped his hand abruptly.
