Chapter 38 Something Important

The last time she mentioned something important, she had talked of Leonardo. Was she going to talk of that man again this time?

"I'm in trouble," Jasmine said with a long face. After pouring herself a cup of tea, she took a sip.

"What trouble? Can I help you?" Usually, she would be able to help if Jasmine came to her with a problem.

"Listen to me first. The thing is, Old Mr. Walker only has one son, and he is the chairman of Walker Group, Jacob Walker. Do you know about this?"

Upon hearing that, Catherine nodded but didn't say a word and continued to listen.

"During the war, Old Mr. Walker got injured and became sterile so he places great emphasis on his offspring.for more visit :- www.noveljar.com But it was a good thing that Ryan has three brothers so Old Mr. Walker was relieved about this at least. However, he is quite old right now and wants great-grandchildren pretty desperately at the moment."

Of course, Catherine understood it as much. Even her mother was beginning to be desperate for grandchildren at her age, not to mention someone as old as Old Mr. Walker, who even had to suffer infertility after the war.

However, she didn't understand how this was troublesome for Jasmine. Shouldn't she be happy that her baby would be loved by the whole family the moment the baby was born?

"Do you know, Cath? I feel so stressed right now. Actually..." Just then, she took another sip of tea before finishing the rest of the sentence.

"I'm ill... I can't get pregnant and I'm still under treatment. I don't even know whether and when it can be treated." Looking depressed, Jasmine took another sip of tea.

"What?" Catherine raised her voice in disbelief.

In the past, Jasmine would always exaggerate and mention casually, "I'm in trouble." Even when her results were poor, she would say the same thing. As a result, Catherine also thought that this was going to be something trivial when Jasmine said "I'm in trouble".

Instead, the truth shocked her so much this time that she spilled tea over her own hand.

Although her hand felt burning, she couldn't care about it right now since she felt miserable for her best friend.

After the initial shock, Catherine realized that she

would end up worsening how Jasmine felt if she talked to her seriously.

So, she quickly calmed down, held Jasmine's hand, and gently comforted her,

"Don't worry, Jas. It will definitely be cured."

Despite saying that, she was sighing for Jasmine deep down. Why would someone as kind as Jasmine have to suffer from this? How could a family as prominent as the Walkers tolerate a infertile woman in this situation?

From the looks of it, she was really in trouble this time. In fact, it was seriously great trouble.

If only she could help Jasmine with this right now. However, this was exactly the kind of thing that no one could help her with.

"Don't worry. As the medicine is so advanced

today, I'm not really that desperate. It's just that no one from the Walkers, including Ryan, knows I can't have a baby. It was Old Mr. Walker's birthday yesterday, and Old Mrs. Walker forced me and Ryan to stay the night in their house. They even had Robert prepare some tonics for me and Ryan.for more visit:- www.noveljar.com I guess they're really desperate for grandchildren now." When Jasmine mentioned that, she instantly blushed.

However, she would only share such personal things with Catherine alone.

Tonics? What Jasmine said shocked her again. But this time, something occurred to Catherine.

No wonder Ryan was so powerful and horny last night. But then again, if he was at Walker Manor with Jasmine last night, there was already someone there to help him release the tonic' effects no matter how strong it was. So, why did he still come and see her in the middle of the

night?

Was it because Jasmine have difficulty having sex with him, on top of being infertile?

But that was impossible since Catherine clearly heard on the phone that Jasmine moaned while having sex with Ryan last time.

Yet, Ryan didn't wear the bracelet Jasmine have given to him, and he even came to see her after taking the tonic. With all these in mind, Catherine couldn't help wondering if there was a possibility that he didn't love Jasmine as much as what they seemed.

If Ryan didn't love Jasmine, shouldn't she have felt it? So, why did she tell Catherine that she was happy?

"Since Jasmine was even willing to tell me about the tonic thing, she wouldn't have hidden it from

me if there were problems in her relationship with Ryan.for more visit: www.noveljar.com" Catherine thought to herself.
