Chapter 32


    rk''s grip was so hard that it hurt, but Judy could only whimper. Her voice was hoarse.


    Even Sebastian couldn''t help but take a second look through the rearview mirror, feeling sorry for


    her.

    "What did Matthew give you?" The cold voice echoed in the car. rk saw Matthew give Judy


    something, but he was interrupted by Jenna at the ke mansion.


    Judy''s eyes welled up with tears as she shook her head repeatedly. The sight of her meek and


    submissive appearance caused rk to loosen his grip.


    It had been a while, even if Matthew had given her something, she likely had hidden it. Why would


    she wait until now to hand it over?


    "Keep in mind. As long as you''re in the Reid family, you are one of us. Don''t try to be a spy and sell


    us out. Or else, don''t make me do this the hard way."


    rk looked at Judy huddled in the corner of the car, looking terrified. He let go of his grip.


    rk was well aware of Judy''s ce in the ke family. Even if he doubted before, today''s trip to


    the ke mansion made it very clear.


    If it weren''t for the leverage that Matthew held over her, she probably wouldn''t have been so


    compliant with him. Thinking about the hospital incident, rk had a clear understanding.


    Judy looked at rk in panic, one hand covering her sore chin, her back firmly pressed against the


    car door. Only after confirming that rk had let her free did she dare to take a breath.


    That moment felt as if she were on the verge of death. Being around rk was truly a test of the


    heart.


    After dropping Judy off at the Reid manor, rk went straight to thepany.


    His assistant, Jeremy, came in with a cup of tea. "Mr. Reid, the hospital has made arrangements.


    Ms. ke can start her internship tomorrow."


    "Have you informed Dominic?" rk didn''t look up. After taking a sip of tea, he turned the page of


    the book in his hand.


    "Not yet. Dr. Phelps wasn''t at the hospital today. But the hospital director, Mr. Pendleton, will inform


    him."


    rk nodded slightly, "Is Judy''s grandma in that hospital too?"


    "Yes." Jeremy nodded. "Dr. Phelps is the chief surgeon, but..."


    Hearing Jeremy''s hesitant tone, rk raised his head. "What else?"


    "The hospital records show that Dr. Phelps paid for Mrs. Dean''s surgery."


    This puzzled Jeremy as well. Why did Dominic do that?


    rk frowned slightly.


    Seeing rk flipping through the book, Jeremy hesitated for a moment. "Mr. Reid, you seem to be


    quite concerned about Mrs. Reidtely."


    The book in rk''s hands was a signnguage book, something Jeremy had never seen in rk''s


    office before. rk had brought it with him when he came in today, and he hadn''t stopped reading it


    since.


    Jeremy felt uneasy thinking about Judy''s situation. "Should we inform the hospital to have a more


    experienced doctor perform the surgery?"


    rk was lost in thought when he heard this. He nced at Jeremy coldly.


    Jeremy shivered and realized he had made a slip of the tongue. "That was out of line."


    After Jeremy left, the office became quiet.


    rk''s slender fingers turned the pages of the book and turned to thest page. He found words


    written on thest nk page. The handwriting had faded but the words were still legible. It was a


    copy of the poem "To the Oak Tree".


    "If I love you, it will never be like the spineless vines, unting myself on your high branches…"
