Chapter 559 He''s Picky And Only Eats Certain Fruits


    Linsey picked up another apple and continued peeling, her voice steady. "Mr. Lawson, I was just a designer, yet you went out of your way to make things difficult for me. I wouldn''t have held a grudge if you had left me


    alone."


    Jeffery was caught off guard by her words. After a brief silence, he finally spoke. "That night at Carol''s birthday party... I didn''t know the truth. I misunderstood and acted impulsively. That''s why I tried to pressure you with that $5 million. As for everything that happened after, I had no choice-I was trying to save the Lawson Group''s


    reputation."


    Linsey''s expression remained calm. "So you knew exactly what you did to me. Then you shouldn''t be surprised by how I treated you. People respond to the way they''re treated. Do you expect kindness from someone you''ve always looked down on?"


    Finishing the apple, she turned toward M. "M, would you like some fruit?" M studied Linsey for a moment, her curiosity growing.


    Few people dared to speak to Jeffery that way, especially in front of his parents.


    "Thank you, Linsey," she said, smiling as she epted the apple. Splitting it in half, she added, "Let''s share this


    one."


    After a brief pause, she nced at Cruz. "No need to peel one for him. He''s picky and only eats certain fruits."


    Cruz chuckled. "That''s true, Linsey, you don''t have to bother with me."


    Linsey smiled. "Noted."


    Jeffery took a bite of the apple, then muttered, "Dad barely eats fruit. And if I remember correctly, he''s allergic


    to one."


    Linsey''s hand paused mid-motion. She nced at Cruz instinctively.


    Could he have a fruit allergy too?


    A thought surfaced in her mind-she had been allergic to mangoes since childhood. Was it just a coincidence?


    She was about to ask something when a knock on the door interrupted her. "Come in," Jeffery said.


    The doctor walked in, holding a report in his hand.


    "Doctor, are the test results ready? How is my son?" M''s voice trembled with worry as all eyes turned to the


    doctor.

    The doctor hesitated briefly before meeting Jeffery''s gaze. "The results show that the patient has an acute blood


    disorder."


    M''s face paled, and she stumbled slightly.


    Linsey quickly reached out to steady her. "Careful, M," she said softly.


    Cruz, usuallyposed, looked shaken. His eyes flickered between Jeffery and the doctor, his concern evident


    "Are you sure?" Cruz asked, his voice lower than usual.


    Jeffery stared at the doctor, his mind struggling to process the news.


    "


    Before he could say more, a violent cough overtook him.


    "Jeffery!" M rushed to his side, patting his back as tears welled in her eyes.


    She fought hard to stay strong, but her trembling hands gave her away.


    Linsey took a steady breath, regaining herposure first. "Doctor, since this was detected early, does he have a good chance of recovery?"


    Her words snapped M and Cruz out of their daze.


    "Yes, doctor, my son has always been healthy. This diagnosis-how serious is it? Is it treatable?" M said urgently.
