The next day.oDoctor Alex was worried when Flora didn't show up, but instead, Flora arrived accompanied by David's mother. Rowan had initially believed that Flora would never return to their hospital again, underestimating her persistence. Not only did Flora confidently arrive, but she also brought David's mother along.As Rowan was dealing with system errors at the nurse's station, she glanced up and saw the two of them entering. Flora raised her eyebrows slightly and greeted Rowan with a smile."Miss Rowan, I have an appointment for a check-up. Is Dr. Alex available?" Flora asked confidently, behaving as if she hadn't been the one who had snuck away before.David's mother, seemingly aware that she would encounter Rowan, showed no surprise on her face. She looked at Rowan with an impassive expression.Maintaining a professional smile, Rowan tried to treat them like any other mothers and their family members. "What time is your appointment? Let me find out for you," she offered, stan
, Chapter 67Flora stepped out of the car and caught sight of the illuminated windows in David's grand mansion. Instantly, her heart filled with pure joy. Brimming with excitement, she hurried over and pressed the doorbell. Time seemed to stretch on as she waited, testing her patience.Just as her patience was wearing thin, the heavy doors of the mansion creaked open. To her astonishment, it was Rowan who stood before her, someone she never expected to see. Flora couldn't control her surprise, and her face revealed her shock."It's... it's you?" she stammered, her voice betraying her disbelief.Rowan's expression didn't reflect warmth; instead, it soured upon seeing Flora. Her face grew long, revealing her displeasure."What are you doing here?" Rowan asked brusquely, her tone dripping with impoliteness. "What do you have planned for me?"Flora paid no mind to the sarcasm in Rowan's voice. She raised her voice, desperately seeking answers. "Why are you here? After your divorce, why ar
Richard stood behind David awkwardly, they were standing at the corner of the hospital building, looking towards the direction of the nurse's station from the passing crowd.Because of the angle of view, only when you approach this corner can you notice that there are two men in suits and leather shoes standing stupidly in this corner.In a place like the obstetrics and gynecology department, no matter how weird this scene looks, they will involuntarily take a second look.Richard was watched by passers-by a few times, and he became even more uncomfortable.With a light cough, he asked, "Boss, why don't we just go over and say hello?"After a while, David refused coldly, "No need."Both feet still stood in place, staring motionlessly at the figure in the distance.Richard smiled wryly in his heart and muttered inwardly, he doesn't want to go there and doesn't plan to leave. I don't know when the boss became such a cautious person.No, it's a little more terrifying than looking forwar
What Rowan wanted to say suddenly turned into a fishbone stuck in her throat. Neither swallow or spit.She lowered her eyes and was silent for a while.David's mother seemed to be tired of cursing, her chest heaved violently, but she didn't continue to speak.After a while, Rowan raised her head again, looked through Director William, chubby body, and met David's mother's eyes.She desperately asked, "I've already divorced him, what exactly am I going to do for you to let me go?"David's mother sneered, took a deep breath, and smoothed her chest before returning to her."Since you know that you have divorced David, why are you holding back? Flora asked you to move out, but you still dare to find a lot of reasons to drive her out! You have to figure it out now, that she is the owner of that house!"It turned out that the reason for all of this was because of Flora. "I thought I made it very clear to her that the house was given to me by David, not by myself." "Hmph!" David's mother
David's brow furrowed, his concern evident as he pressed further, "What happened with your work?"Rowan's expression shifted, a mixture of resignation and self-deprecation. She chuckled softly, "I don't have a job."No further explanation was necessary; David immediately grasped the meaning behind her words.He hesitated momentarily before whispering, "I'm sorry."It was the second apology he had offered that day. Previously, Rowan had believed him to be someone who would never yield or apologize, regardless of right or wrong. Yet, she couldn't bring herself to say the words "It's okay."An awkward tension filled the air, the silence between them growing increasingly stifling. Minutes passed, prolonging the deadlock.Suddenly, David broke the silence, determination in his voice, "I'll arrange for someone to handle your work and take care of the house. Since I mentioned it, it's yours."A wry smile tugged at the corners of Rowan's lips. "You say that every time, but in the end, I'm the
It was the first time David expressed his concern to her, but his tone seemed a bit rigid as she listened carefully.However, for Rowan, it felt like throwing a stone into a calm lake, instantly disturbing the peace within her.Despite her discomfort, she disregarded it and quickly declined, saying, "No need! I'm probably just feeling a little off because I didn't eat lunch. I'll be fine later!" David still looked concerned.She didn't understand the significance of his silence at that moment, but she couldn't shake the feeling that his unusual behavior had startled her.Wiping her mouth with her sleeve, she hastily said, "If you have something to do, go ahead. You don't need to stay here with me." Finally, she managed to stand up."Okay, I have something to attend to..." He paused for a moment, then changed his words, "Call Maria if you need anything and ask her to accompany you to the hospital."Rowan simply nodded, hoping he would leave soon because the stomach discomfort was surgi
Rowan didn't have a clear idea of what was happening, but when she saw her mother's phone call, a sense of worry surged within her. She immediately wondered if her mother's medication had run out. However, upon hearing that her mother's health had taken a turn for the worse, a profound feeling of dread washed over her."How serious is it?" Rowan anxiously inquired into the phone."Where are you right now? Hurry and come here! The nurse is already attending to her," the maid's voice trembled with emotion, filled with a mix of fear and incoherent shouting.With each passing moment, Rowan grew increasingly confused. The doctor had previously assured her that her mother was making progress in overcoming cancer. So, what could be happening now?Despite her own fear, Rowan yearned to calm the maid's frantic state and gain a clear understanding of the situation. She rose from her seat, searching for her bag, and while making her way outside, she asked the maid for more details."Where are yo
Rowan couldn't help but smile, though it was tinged with sadness. "You care so much about my marriage. Is it because you truly care about me, or is it all about what this marriage can give you now?" Jason remained unfazed by her taunting, not allowing himself to be drawn into her ridicule. His attention was entirely fixed on the impending divorce between Rowan and President David. The mere thought of how he would be seen as the in-law to President David, his buddy, filled him with anger. "Rowan, have you lost your mind? Why would you want to leave a wealthy man like President David? So many people would do anything to be in your shoes and marry into the David family. Yet here you are, divorcing him even though he's been good to you. What would you do if he were having affairs?" He pointed accusingly at her, his frustration pouring out as he leaned against the door, watching the scene unfold with a cold gaze. In that moment, Rowan felt like she had been hit by a ton of bricks. Why
