All Chapters of When Loving You Became My Sweetest Destruction: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Mitch entered the hospital that the secretary had directed him to. As he headed toward the familiar lobby of Mondel University Hospital, an employee approached him and stopped him, saying that running was not allowed here."I'm sorry," Mitch bowed his head while catching his breath. Then he looked around the lobby, searching for Marlon, whom he was supposed to meet there.'An accident? W-what kind of accident? If he's hospitalized, is he badly hurt? When and where was he injured?'—First, please calm down. It was a traffic accident, but fortunately, he only suffered minor bruises. He's been hospitalized for tests to monitor for any possible aftereffects. During the accident, the director's phone was damaged, so it seems he couldn't contact you.If the secretary described it that way, it must truly be a minor injury. Although the secretary's calm explanation helped reduce his shock, Mitch was still worried about Douglass being in an accident.'He really seemed out of his mind. When I g

Heh. Douglass's laughter spread through the hospital corridor. It was clearly a sneer.Mitch felt heat rushing to his face and bowed his head even lower."Ah, 200 thousand pesos.""It's money I would receive as key money anyway when I leave and another café moves in, I'm just asking for it in advance. Because the situation is urgent...""Hey.""...Huh?"When Douglass cut him off, Mitch startled and raised his head. Then his eyes met with Douglass, who was looking down at him as if he were a bug."I don't like informal speech.""......"Because of the pain spreading from his solar plexus where that gaze had pierced him, Mitch understood what Douglass was saying a beat late.Ah. Could it be he thinks I'm younger than him?"I'm actually older than you.""So what? You come begging for money and want to argue about who was born first?"Mitch shook his head. Then Douglass suddenly grabbed Mitch's chin and lifted his face. Then, as if annoyed by the hat he was wearing, he arbitrarily removed

Originally, he had planned to stay at the café until closing at 8 PM, but he left early because he had received a call from a company where he had recently submitted his resume for a delivery driver position. He decided to leave the closing to the afternoon part-timers.After the interview and completing the company's mandatory training before officially starting work, it was already late at night.On his way home, he checked his phone and found several messages had accumulated.[Mitch. This is Sammy Stuart^^ I'd like to meet once more to discuss the dessert supply. When are you available?][Boss.... my sibling has been hospitalized urgently, could you possibly change my afternoon schedule?ㅠㅜ][Hello, customer Mitch Forbes. How satisfied were you with the loan product consultation you received?]Come to think of it, he needed to decide on the new dessert menu quickly. Overwhelmed by reality, he hadn't had time to focus on that.He managed to reply only to work-related messages before

"You're staying late today instead of running away in the middle."Douglass suddenly appeared from somewhere while Mitch was closing up. Mitch glanced back while cleaning, having turned off the lights and put the chairs on the tables."Yes."The lackluster response came out because he had no energy to retort. One of the part-timers scheduled for the afternoon shift couldn't come due to personal reasons, so Mitch had to stay from opening until closing.As a result, every muscle in his body was screaming in pain. He had planned to do delivery work after finishing his shift, but that was now out of the question. He should probably go straight back to his officetel to rest."We used to live together, right?"Douglass abruptly brought up their past relationship while standing in front of the busy Mitch. Mitch decided to ignore him completely and focused on washing dishes."But there were only my things in the apartment we shared."When Mitch didn't respond, Douglass went as far as entering

Simultaneously, the sound of someone turning the emergency staircase doorknob came from the floor below. Probably someone who had finished parking in the underground garage and was trying to come up the stairs. But there was only a rattling sound; the door wouldn't open.Douglass Brady had already instructed his secretary to lock all emergency exit doors on every floor. So that no one except himself and these men could use them."Huh, so this guy really was a rich young master after all."Having confirmed that the money had indeed been transferred to the account, the Beta let out a surprised laugh. It was understandable—in this line of work, he had never received money so easily and quickly before. Usually, it took anywhere from six months to several years."But it seems like a bit more money came in than expected. Is this a tip?" the Alpha asked after checking the numbers in the text message."Ah, that." Douglass casually dropped his shortened cigarette on the floor and extinguished
