Chapter 490 Forgive Me

Axel feared that his sickly appearance would startle his mother. He placed his arm down and leaned against the basin, overwhelmed with questions.

“How long will it take for me to recover? When can I get a bone marrow transplant? I need to see Mommy and tell her about my daily pain. I can’t eat because of the medicine, and the nighttime agony clouds my mind. I don’t want Daddy to worry, but I’m really tired,” he thought.

His hand trembled as he reached for the bathroom door. The door was slightly open when he caught Richie’s voice. “Mr. Jordan, his white blood cell count has increased slightly. Don’t worry. He’ll recover faster after the bone marrow transplant.”

Evan inquired, “Will he still need chemotherapy after the transplant?”

Richie replied, “No, but he must continue chemotherapy without the transplant. It’s a long and painful process, and there’s no guarantee of a full recovery.”

Evan fell silent. ‘Hmm, you may go now.”

Richie nodded and left.

Axel hesitated by the wall, unsure whether to leave the room. Facing his father was difficult as he knew

the immense stress Evan was under because of him. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

After a while, Axel heard the phone ring. Shortly after, a voice that terrified him reached his ears. “You’re

calling me at last, Evan.”

Evan replied coldly, “Let’s meet.”

Daniella proposed, “Shall we meet tonight if you’re free?”

“I’ll send you the restaurant’s address,” Evan said.

“Sure, I’ll wait.”

Axel closed his eyes, trembling in pain. He would endure it until she provided the bone marrow so he

could reunite with his mother in good health.

Greta sent the restaurant’s location.

Caroline headed to the restaurant after sending the children home from school and changing into casual

attire. She parked her car at the entrance 20 minutes later and was about to enter when she heard

Caroline turned and saw Daniella looking exhausted and sickly as if she hadn’t slept for days. She

observed her and said casually, “Stop showing up and scaring people.”

“I can’t. I’m going on a date with Evan today.” Daniella sneered as she approached Caroline.

Caroline was taken aback. ‘Is Evan reconciling with Daniella?’

“You must be surprised, huh?” Daniella mocked. “Evan will forgive me no matter how I treat Axel.”

Caroline’s expression turned icy. “What you do with Evan is none of my business. But I’m warning you not

to have any designs on Axel.”

“And who are you to meddle in my affairs?” Daniella retorted.

Caroline replied calmly, “I don’t have time for your affairs. Just a piece of advice: be wary of divine

retribution smiting you!”

Daniella crossed her arms. “So what? It’s enough for me to see you feeling uneasy!”

“Really? What if Evan discovers you’re getting close to Casey? How would he react?” Caroline countered.

Daniella scoffed. “Aren’t you talking about yourself? You seem to forget how furious Evan was when you

met up with Casey.”

Caroline said, “I have nothing to do with him, but you’re different…”

“No, no. Evan will treat me well soon, and we’ll be inseparable.”

Caroline suppressed her displeasure. “What are you trying to say?”

Daniella raised her hand and patted Caroline’s shoulder. “I’m just thinking out loud about how you’re not doing as well as you should as a mother.”
