Chapter 209 Keeping It From Martha?
Chapter 209 Keeping It from Martha?
He thought of how Martha, a woman who had almost died of her disease, had gone through all thehardships of these years in a foreign country with a sick child.
He caused all her misery.
Thinking of this, Stefan looked distressed. He owed Martha too much.
What he could compensate was just the tip of the iceberg.
Martha no longer trusted him and refused to forgive him.
He wondered if his decision would made her feel touched slightly.
He almost killed her back then and made her and Jimmy lead a vagrant life for so many years.
He should make it up to them, and he got a chance now.
There was determination in Stefan's eyes. He was not afraid of death, and he only regretted that hecouldn't make up for Martha and Jimmy more.
But...
Martha and Jimmy had the Doyle family and Rupert by their side... Though Stefan didn't want toadmit it, he knew that Rupert would take care of her.
Rupert had been by her side for the past few years.
But he couldn't reconcile.
He hadn't made up for her. He hadn't made her feel his love.
And Jimmy, his son, to whom he owed the most.
Stefan hoped that Jimmy would be safe and sound for the rest of his life after his disease wascured.
Every time he faced Jimmy, guilt and pity were all he felt.
On the one hand, Stefan felt sorry for Jimmy because he had been suffering from illness since hewas born. And on the other hand, Stefan blamed himself for not fulfilling his responsibility as afather over these years.
If Jimmy could make it this time, he would be able to enjoy a happy childhood like other healthychildren.
Even without him, Stefan believed that Martha would educate Jimmy well.
He only wished that Rhys would donate bone marrow as he promised.
But would Rhys keep his promise?
Stefan hesitated, tapping the desk with his slender knuckles.
This was what he always did when he hesitated.
Eden understood Stefan's scruples.
"What are you worried about?"novelbin
"Rhys hates me so much. Will he really donate bone marrow to Jimmy? What would you do if youwere him?"
"If I were him. I definitely wouldn't. I would wish that you have no descendant!" Eden said worriedly.
His words sounded harsh but he told the truth.
Rhys was insidious. Everybody knew that he approached Martha just to revenge on the Harrisonfamily.
"He has been hating me and the Harrison family since he was a child. Now he wants to use hisbone marrow as bait to kill me. Is that all he wants?"
Stefan had a reason to think so.
Rhys spent so much time planning the revenge. His purpose couldn't be so simple.
"My biggest worry is not that he won't keep his promise, but that he will hurt Martha or Jimmy."
Stefan stood up abruptly.
He frowned. The veins on his jaw were vaguely visible, which showed that he had reached the limitsof forbearance.
Eden frowned too, as he knew Stefan's worries made sense.
"I'm afraid he wants Jimmy to suffer what he has suffered."
Stefan pursed his lips. He wouldn't allow anyone to hurt Jimmy.
He looked at Eden. The trust in his eyes was self-evident.
He said sharply, "Eden, promise me that you will keep Martha and Jimmy safe."
Eden frowned. If Stefan was going to die tonight in exchange for Jimmy's chance to live, then...
He hesitated, and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure you want to keep this from Martha?"
