Chapter 418

Chapter 418:

“That’s just typical. Even ordinary families go through this. It’s just that both the Johns family and Andrew wield a lot of power!”

Bruno’s family’s reputation was destroyed. When Damari found out, he was completely numb. He had known his wife would do anything to keep their son out of jail, but he hadn’t anticipated her drastic measures. Bruno was heartbroken and sought Damari’s help.

He spent a long time on his knees before Damari.

“Bruno.” Damari opened his eyes slowly and said, “I’ve arranged for you to stay at a church. Go there and find some peace.”

Bruno was taken aback. He looked at Damari and pleaded, “Dad, my brother is gone and you’re not well. I want to stay by your side and look after you! Please, give me a chance. Corbett messed up, yes. He acted rashly and kidnapped Madisyn. I would never do such things. I’m not after anything in the company; I just want to be here for you.”

Damari said nothing and closed his eyes once more to rest.

“Bruno,” Jada said. “Damari needs his rest. There’s been too much happening recently. Let him sleep.”

Bruno’s body shook faintly. After a pause, he said slowly, “Dad, please think over what I’ve said.” He then stood and walked away slowly, appearing much older.

Watching his departure, Jada sighed and said, “Bruno has gone too far. Damari, don’t be distressed—I’m sure after a few years of reflection at the church, he will come to appreciate your difficult decisions. His greed blinded him to this point.”

“Yes.” As Damari finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed. He clutched at his chest tightly.

“Damari, are you alright? Doctor! Doctor!” Jada looked distressed as she called for the doctor.

After Damari went through a check-up and received some medication, his condition stabilized. The doctor exhaled deeply and replied, “Mr. Klein, your condition is quite severe. To be cautious, you might want to start making arrangements for the end.”

Typically, doctors wouldn’t make such grave statements lightly. It suggested that Damari’s time was limited.

“What are you talking about? He’s in good shape, and I’ll have the right medication soon!” Jada responded sharply.

The doctor looked taken aback. Was Jada telling the truth? “If that specific medication is indeed close, Mr. Klein could have much more time.” The doctor nodded and left.

Jada gazed at Damari, who was resting on the bed, and asked worriedly, “Damari, are you feeling alright?”

“I’m okay. Please, don’t inform Andrew and Madisyn about this.”

“Damari, you’re seriously ill. They deserve to know the truth,” Jada said, her brow furrowed.

“Madisyn has just been through an ordeal with her kidnapping. My health is critical. They don’t need to be burdened with this,” Damari said. “Please, don’t tell them.”

Reluctantly, Jada nodded in agreement.

“Don’t spend all your time here. You’ve just come back to the country and started at the company; what you need now is to find a good husband,” Damari advised Jada.

A look of understanding crossed Jada’s face. She grasped the implication of Damari’s words—he was cautioning her against fighting for Andrew.

“I understand, Damari. But I’ve just joined the company. I want to focus on my career right now and not worry about other matters.”

“It’s good to focus on your career, but don’t miss out if you find someone to love.”

“Understood,” Jada replied, her fingers digging into her palms.

Despite Damari’s wishes to keep his illness from Madisyn and Andrew, the news reached them. Andrew learned of it through the doctor and visited Damari with Madisyn.

Madisyn felt a heavy weight in her heart. Damari was in poor health. She hoped the development of the medication would accelerate, but she knew such processes couldn’t be hastened.

As they left the hospital, Madisyn saw that Andrew was deeply troubled. She took his hand and said, “Your grandpa will be okay.”

“I…,” Andrew gazed off into the distance, lost in thought. After a few seconds, he said, “He’ll pull through.”

A few days later, Milly’s shooting wrapped up, and Victor threw a celebration party.

Everyone was busy eating and drinking, but fewer people were flattering Tatiana than before. Tatiana didn’t say much, opting to drink by herself.

Since Corbett was imprisoned, the way people treated her had shifted dramatically. Most of them mocked her, and no one approached her to start a conversation. Milly didn’t engage with her either. She was naturally quiet, which didn’t seem out of place even in the bustling atmosphere.

As she observed others talking joyfully, Tatiana grew sullen. She got up and headed to the restroom. Inside, she overheard a conversation.

“‘Corbett’s been arrested; Tatiana must have dumped him by now,” a woman said.

“‘Definitely. Remember how she left Howard when he was injured? It’s impressive. Tatiana always manages to date successful men, but does she bring them bad luck? Every one of her boyfriends ends up miserable!” another woman said with a mix of envy and sarcasm.

“Possibly. Tatiana seems so heartless. I always thought she was dreadful. After she left Howard, he only got better while Corbett ended up behind bars.”

“‘Ha-ha, she’s really not a good person.”

The two women laughed mockingly. Tatiana seethed with anger and felt an urge to confront them, but what could she possibly say?
