On the other end of the phone, Wendy started to get more and more exasperated when she had not
gotten a reply from Susanne.
She shouldn’t be sleeping at this hour. Why isn’t she replying to my message?
Has she really given up on me? Damn it. It seems like I have to use a harder approach.
Wendy then decided that she would bring her parents to go visit Susanne the next day.
Her parents finally arrived after some time.
She deliberately cooked instant noodles and thrashed her room to make it look messy. On top of the pale
makeup that she put on, Wendy made herself look as lifeless and disoriented as she could be.
Wendy’s mother, Cecilia, teared up at the sight of the situation her daughter was in.
“My darling daughter! What happened to you?”
Wendy said nothing as she shook her head lightly.
Susanne’s father’s face sank as he said, “Make her some proper dinner. Instant noodles are not proper
food! Wendy, don’t worry. We will go look for that woman, Susanne, tomorrow!”
Soon, the next day arrived.
It was the day when Vinson was going on a business trip. When Arielle woke up, she noticed the
breakfast that Vinson had bought earlier and his handwritten note by her side.
She read the note: I’m going on a business trip to Horington. I’ll be back tomorrow at noon.
Her lips curled into a smile as she found the little note heartwarming, especially since he had already told
her about the business trip the night before.
Vinson was more attentive than Arielle thought he was.
Just when she was planning to continue sleeping after having breakfast, Jared called.
She picked up the call, only to realize that it was actually Harrison on the line.
“Ms. Moore, when are you coming over? Harvey has already been transferred from the ICU to a normal
ward, but he’s not giving any cooperation to the nurses on duty when they tried to give him an IV drip.”
Arielle wondered if he had developed any post traumatic symptoms for IV drips.
“All right. I will be there in an hour,” Arielle replied.
“Okay.” Harrison hung up the call. Arielle got up to prepare herbs in the kitchen.
After an hour, she took the herb that she prepared to the
hospital.
Sure enough, Arielle noticed that Harvey was chasing a nurse out of his ward upon her arrival.
Meanwhile, Jared apologized on his brother’s behalf.
“I’m sorry. My brother isn’t usually like this. Could you come over later after I’ve consoled him?”
“It’s all right,” the nurse said with a smile. “It is normal for patients to have mood swings. You guys could
try to communicate with him more to improve the situation. I’ll come over in a bit.”
“Sure, thank you.”
Jared noticed that Arielle was making her way over.
He was elated at the sight of her. But he soon had mixed feelings about her presence.
“Boss.”
Arielle nodded to acknowledge him but did not enter the ward. She pulled Jared over to one corner and
asked, “Your Grandpa called me and told me about Harvey, and I’ve seen how bad it is with my own
eyes too. What happened to him. Why is he refusing his treatments?”
Jared gritted his teeth and said guiltily, “It’s all my fault. I should not have brought it up in front of Harvey.”
“What’s the matter?” Arielle asked with a deadpan expression.
“I don’t know what’s the matter with my Grandpa. He’s set his sights on you as his granddaughter-in-law
and even told Harvey that he would make the necessary arrangements after Harvey’s recovered. Seeing
him getting all hyped up about it, I didn’t want Harvey to feel too disappointed later on and told him about
the fact that you and Vin are already married. And so…”
