Nathan didn't answer Alex's question straightaway. However, Alex seemed to have guessed the problem. "The Jacobs Group isn't willing to resume cooperation with the Summers Group?"Nathan was slightly stunned, but still nodded. "The Jacobs Group refused to resume cooperation and it seems that they have no intention of accepting our apology either.""Nancy did go too far this time.""Don't worry, Dad. I'll definitely give you a result that you're satisfied with."Alex shook his head. "Chris isn't someone who's easy to deal with. All we can do now is to decrease our losses.""I understand. I'll get right on it."Nathan immediately rushed back to his office to deal with the Summers Group's problems.Chris was indeed not someone easy to deal with. His background and his connections were all very complicated. Nathan had no choice but to give up cooperation with the Jacobs Group no matter how unwilling he was.The truth was that the termination of the contract alone wouldn't bring the
At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day.When Chris came back with the breakfast, he found out that Laura was already awake."I've just bought breakfast. Have some oat porridge first." Chris placed the breakfast on the table and opened a portion of oat porridge."Chris, I think I've fully recovered. I want to be discharged from the hospital this afternoon." Laura had been hospitalized for two weeks."Okay. Let's pack things up and head home." Chris nodded.He made sure that Laura didn't have any problems and seemed to be mentally stable as well.He also asked the doctor about Laura's condition and the doctor said that she could be discharged as well. All they would need to be careful of was the food that Laura ate. Therefore, Chris agreed as soon as Laura mentioned that she wanted to be discharged from the hospital.After breakfast, Chris began packing their luggage. When everything was packed, he held Laura's hand and walked out of the ward.When doing the paperwork for
One day, Alex was reading a story to Mrs. Summers beside the bed as usual. That was when the latter's fingers suddenly moved.Alex immediately spotted the minor movement and quickly called for a doctor.The doctor checked Mrs. Summers and said, "Mrs. Summers is showing signs of waking up. She probably will wake up within the next two days."When Amelia received the news, she quickly rushed over from Nancy's room."Dad, I've heard that Mom will be waking up soon?"Amelia's desperate voice caused Alex to feel a little weird, but he just thought that she was happy. "That's right. The doctor said that she will be waking up very soon."Mrs. Summers had been unconscious for over two weeks and was now finally waking up. With that, Alex finally had a smile on his face.After hearing those words, Amelia's face was darker than ever, but she still pretended to be very happy. "That's great news!""Dad, I'll go tell Nancy about the good news. She'll definitely be overjoyed when she hears it
Nancy had fantasized about Chris coming to visit her at first, but when she heard what Amelia had said, her face changed. "What did you say? They left? Why did they leave? Why didn't you tell me?"In the end, Nancy ended up complaining about Amelia's actions.After hearing Nancy's words, Amelia couldn't help but look down on Nancy. She then said inwardly, 'Why can't they leave? Even if I told you about it, what could you have done?'She kept those words to herself and pretended to feel sorry for Nancy. "Well, I thought they would stay in the hospital for a little longer. I didn't tell you because of your condition. I don't want to do anything that delays your recovery."Amelia's words made Nancy feel even more depressed.'How could Chris leave? How could he? He still hadn't come to visit me!' Nancy shouted inwardly."Nancy, are you alright?" Amelia saw that Nancy's face was already twisted and knew that her plan was half complete."I have a plan to get Chris to come to the hospi
Laura showed Chris her and Nancy's chat history.When Chris saw the message he reached out to lock Laura's phone and then placed it on the bedside table. "Just ignore her.""But I'm still worried about Mrs. Summers."Laura knew that Nancy was up to no good, but she couldn't remain calm at all after hearing news about Mrs. Summers.Chris rubbed her head. "If you're still worried then I'll go with you tomorrow."He knew that he couldn't stop Laura from going to the hospital. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to stop worrying.As expected, Laura's eyes lit up when she heard those words.Seeing the look on Laura's face, Chris laughed. "Alright, you happy now? It's getting late, let's go to sleep."With that said, Chris closed the lights.After getting the answer she wanted, Laura slept very soundly in Chris's arms.Meanwhile, Nancy wasn't able to get a reply from Laura, so she became very desperate and began cursing very loudly."You bitch! How dare you not reply to my messages? I
A while had passed and Chris and Laura were about to leave. This made Amelia desperate and quickly stopped them."Are you going to stay for a little while longer?" Amelia asked awkwardly.Seeing the arm in front of Laura, Chris looked at Amelia coldly.His gaze sent chills down Amelia's back. But she still didn't pull her hand back."My mom really likes you. I apologize for what I've done in the past. I shouldn't have been making things difficult for you. I hope we can be on good terms in the future," said Amelia.After hearing the words "be on good terms", Laura was a little taken aback. She then exchanged gazes with Chris.Both of them felt that Amelia wasn't feeling right.Laura smiled. "That's not necessary, Miss Summers."Everyone fell silent once again.Alex had been doing business for many years and had dealt with all kinds of different situations. He immediately saw that Amelia was behaving strangely.He knew that Laura didn't like Amelia, but the latter was trying to
"Dad, why didn't you ask Chris to stay for a little longer?" Nancy still wouldn't give up."Do you have feelings for Chris?" Alex looked at Nancy."I... I do have feelings for Chris. So what?" Nancy didn't expect Alex to know about her feelings for Chris, so she decided to admit to it.Alex tried to be subtle with Nancy about his matter, but she just wouldn't listen."He's married, so you can get him out of your head and forget about him.""What do you mean I should get him out of my head? I can't control my feelings for him. Why does Laura get to be by his side and I can't? If I were the one who got to know him first, he wouldn't even lay eyes on that poor woman. She's not worthy of him!"Nancy had always thought that she was the only woman who was worthy of Chris. She was the daughter of the Summers family and only she could be helpful towards Chris's career."You..." Alex pointed at Nancy and he was so angry that he had no idea what to say.He didn't expect Nancy would have
Chris called for a car recovery truck so that their car could be taken to a garage for repairs.On the way to the hospital, Chris remained silent. He seemed to be thinking of something.As for Laura, all her attention was on Chris's wound. She also tried urging the taxi driver to speed up.She had checked Chris's wound. It wasn't just a scratch like he had said. The cut was actually quite deep."Don't worry. It's alright." Seeing how desperate Laura was, Chris pulled Laura into his arms to comfort her."We're here." The driver pulled over at the side of the road.Chris paid the taxi fare and then went into the hospital with Laura."It's no big deal. Just make sure that the wound isn't infected for the next few days," said the doctor after bandaging Chris up."Thank you, doctor." Laura thanked the doctor and then went to pick up the medicine that the doctor had prescribed. "I want to wash my hands."Some of the blood from Chris's arm had stained Laura's hands and clothes. She w
