Once Jean walked out of the ward, she picked up Joyce's call."Hello," she greeted with a distant tone, though she knew exactly who was calling."This is Jean speaking. May I ask who's calling?"Upon hearing her voice, Joyce hurriedly exclaimed, "It's Joyce, your sister! This is bad, Jean. Dad had an accident!"Jean was taken aback by her words, and her expression notably stiffened. Timothy was caught in an accident?Taking a deep breath, Jean tried to resist her urge to probe further. Joyce kept on talking. "We're currently at Dortsham's central hospital, and Dad's in really bad shape. If you come over now, you can still share a final moment with him before it's too late," Joyce stated, swiftly passing on the address to Jean.Jean drew in a deep breath. Her grip on her phone tightened as she fell into a moment of silence.Joyce anxiously waited for Jean's response but was met with silence. Jean could hear the commotion on Joyce's end, and shortly after, Joyce ended the cal
As soon as the car disappeared from her view, Robin averted her gaze and proceeded to enter the hospital. She was certain that Jean and Tyler had come to visit Terence and figured he knew what had happened to them."My only hope is that nothing has gone wrong with the company. Otherwise, I'll have to hurry back for some overtime," she thought grudgingly.Arriving at Terence's ward, she set down the thermos she had brought and turned to him. "I just saw Ms. Michaels and Mr. Larson rush out of the hospital. Is something wrong?" she asked worriedly. Terence wasn't happy that Robin's attention was directed toward the couple upon her entry. Still, he understood that Jean was dealing with a challenging situation and honestly responded, "Mr. Michael had an accident in Dortsham. They're on their way there now."Taken aback by his words, Robin swiftly retrieved her phone to check for the news. After all, they were living in the age of digitalization. She reasoned that someone would've shar
Robin kept a smile on her face, yet Terence could see that her smile was insincere. Gazing at her intently, Terence stated in a hushed voice, "I can't give you what you want right now, nor do I wish to make promises I can't keep."When Robin heard his response, her expression shifted momentarily, yet she swiftly regained her composure. All the while, Terence maintained a solemn gaze upon her. Sensing his stare, Robin met his eyes with a smile."I agree. It's not a bad choice for me either. At least my efforts didn't go to waste. Having 30 million dollars does give me a sense of security," she stated. Her words came with a smile, concealing the pain in her eyes.She was bound to get either his money or his affection. Though, if she had the choice, she would rather want his affection. Alas, Terence had made it clear that he was more inclined to offer her money than his love, let alone marriage.Terence silently gazed at Robin for a long time before he asked, "When do you plan to jo
Robin had a small smile on her face as she observed Terence's displeased expression."Mr. Weiss, are you done going through the agreement? If there aren't any issues with it, you may go ahead and sign it," she said softly.Terence watched as Robin handed him a pen. His face darkened as he said, "I have an issue with it."Robin pursed her lips and smiled. "What is it?" she asked.Terence slammed the agreement he was holding onto the table with a grim expression."There's a huge problem with this agreement. What do you mean by 'avoid meddling with each other's personal friendships' here?"Are you reluctant to part with that Jenkins fellow?" he asked.Upon hearing Terence's words, Robin raised an eyebrow slightly. She fixed her gaze on Terence, and with a hint of indifference on her face, she said in a low voice, "Mr. Weiss, it sounds like you're feeling jealous."Terence's face darkened as he fell silent.Robin sat quietly in the seat next to him. Seeing that Terence had fallen
Robin looked very serious when she spoke. Her gaze was fixed on Terence as she said in a heavy tone, "My parents are from a small countryside town, after all. Unlike in big cities, there aren't things like 'mutual interests' to think about. They don't know about all that."They'll just think that what I'm doing with you now is undignifying and tasteless."Terence furrowed his brows upon hearing what Robin said.Robin pursed her lips when she noticed that Terence had fallen silent. Then, she said in a low voice, "Mr. Weiss, if you're not going to sign the contract, then …"Terence didn't need to think much to guess what Robin's next words were going to be.His face immediately darkened as he swiftly signed his name on the contract.After seeing Terence sign the agreement, Robin paused for a moment. Then, her eyes gleamed brightly.Once Terence was done signing, Robin grabbed the documents from him and handed a copy of the agreement to him.Terence looked at the copy of the agree
Upon hearing Terence's words, Monica's expression subtly shifted. She looked at Terence deeply and said in a soft voice, "It looks like you guys had oatmeal. I brought chicken noodle soup."Mr. Weiss, why don't you give it a taste? Chicken noodle soup is very nutritious, after all."Terence's gaze darkened as he glanced at Monica coldly."The doctor said I can't eat anything too greasy," he said.A hint of embarrassment flashed in Monica's eyes upon hearing that. Then, she fell silent.Robin sat quietly on the side. Her face was calm as she observed Monica.Monica sighed and packed up the lunchboxes she brought."Sorry, that didn't cross my mind," she said in a calm tone.Robin glanced at Monica faintly and said to Terence, "Ms. Blake is just being kind. Having a bit of what she brought over wouldn't hurt."Monica felt even more displeased upon hearing that.She looked at Robin and said softly, "It's my fault for being inconsiderate. If Mr. Weiss can't have chicken noodle sou
After Robin left, the atmosphere in Terence's ward turned unpleasant.Terence glanced at Monica with a heavy expression and remained silent.Taking a deep breath, Monica could only sit quietly at the side.After a while, Terence finally raised his head to look over at her. It was clear that he was displeased."Is there anything you'd like to report?" he asked.Terence's tone was very cold. It was reminiscent of the first time Chandler had brought Monica over to Weiss Group. Terence had used the same tone.Monica took a deep breath to steady her emotions. Then, she pursed her lips slightly and said, "No, I don't. I …"Before Monica could say anything more, Terence shot her a cold glare and said in a low voice, "If you have nothing else to report, then leave. I don't need you to take care of me."Monica paused and stiffened for a moment. However, she quickly regained her composure and leveled a steady gaze at Terence."Terence, do you hate me that much?" she asked.Upon heari
After leaving Terence's ward, Robin felt a little regretful.Since she was technically his mistress, she should've played the part better. She should've acted brashly and arrogantly in front of Monica.However, she had allowed Monica to spend more time with Terence instead.It seemed like she had put herself at a disadvantage.After she walked to her car and hesitated about whether she should leave, she spotted Monica walking out of the hospital.Judging by the clear displeasure on Monica's face, it was clear that Terence had upset her.Robin immediately started her car.Monica had meant to head in another direction. However, when she saw Robin, she changed course and approached her.Robin thought that leaving at this moment would make her appear guilty, so she slowed her car down.Monica walked up to Robin and knocked on her car window.Robin hesitated for a moment but eventually rolled down the window. With a small smile on her face, she looked at Monica."Ms. Blake, why a
