Wed to the Billionaire Brother of My Spouse by Doris

Chapter 34 Ethan's Reflections

Bolting from the hospital, Jasmine eyed the time and sprinted toward the Douglas family's home.

She couldn't afford to be late - she desperately needed that ten thousand dollars to sort out Justin's schooling.

After a few paces, a sharp pain stabbed through her heart.

She paused to catch her breath and leaned heavily against the wall. Jasmine took long, ragged gasps before she forced herself to run on.

Her dying wish was to find the man from the hotel six years ago - Justin's biological father. She needed him to consent to a paternity test.

From a sleek black sedan parked on Hospital Roadside, Ethan watched Jasmine rush by with a food delivery bag, frowning. "Did you find out what I asked you to?"

"Mr. Douglas... Jasmine took the job at the Douglas household voluntarily; I heard it's for the monthly salary of ten thousand and a spot for her son in kindergarten," Liam reported reluctantly, wishing Ethan would stay out of it.

"Mr. Douglas, the woman's quite shrewd; there's no need for you to worry about her." Liam glanced at the time. "We should be heading to the Browns' now. Remember your promise to Mr. Brown to visit Miss Brown every day before going to work."

Ethan didn't respond and just massaged his temples.

"If you really can't stand Miss Brown, why not just get engaged to a respectable heiress, fulfill Douglas Sr.'s dreams, and at the same time, break free from the Browns?" Liam suggested, always plotting on behalf of Mr. Douglas.

Ethan, unusually, didn't tell Liam to shut up and continued massaging his forehead.
