Chapter 53


    Chapter 53


    “Mom, don’t worry. Who knows if I might turn out to be a business wh izz-kid someday? I wasn’t sure if


    I wasforting my mom or myself.


    Anyway, my mom had a goodugh at myment, she responded, “Whatever you decide to do, your


    dad and I will support you. You’re our only child, as long as you’re happy, we’re happy


    I must’ve been out of my mind in my past life. I have such wonderful parents with such a strong


    financial backing, yet obsessing over Neil endlessly, only to be left with nothing but pain.


    If I could move my head more freely right now, I’d give my mom a big hug, but my injury didn’t allow it.


    My mom stayed by my side for a while, then said she was going back home to cook some butter


    roasted chicken for me, which I was really in the mood for, so I immediately agreed After she left, Ste


    Wace, Alicia Rider, and Barbara rushed over


    Seeing my head wrapped in bandages, they were all heartbroken, asking me, “How are you? Is your


    head still hurting?”


    “Who did this to you? I’ll give them a taste of the result of their behavior


    “How long is it till you can recover?


    Hearing their words, I feltfort. Although I was injured, I was d to have this group of female


    friends who cared for me. Life really is beautiful.


    I answered them, ‘I’m fine, just a minor concussion. I’m currently working at Whitmore Co., I was there


    with Neil negotiating with a resident, but things didn’t go well and someone took it out on me.” I


    exined the situation.


    Ste put some nutritional supplements on the table, and then began toin, “Really, does Neil


    have something against you? You used to be his loyal follower, now you’ve stopped following him and


    he’s got you concussed. I think you should divorce him sooner rather thanter.”


    Alicia agreed, “Right, I heard if two people aren’tpatible, they’ll hold each other back. Whoever has


    the better luck can suppress the other.” This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    “Then Neil must be very lucky.” I sighed and asked Barbara, “Barbara, howe you’re here? Did you


    go to Whitmore Co.?”


    Barbara shook her head, “I didn’t go, but I sent my mom.”


    I was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a look of admiration. Brilliant!


    My original n was for Barbara to cause a scene at Whitmore Co., brandishing the evidence I had


    taken, using Norman of his infidelity, which would cause a lot of negative impact for thepany,


    and Whitmore Co. would then fire Norman who was still in his intern period, leaving him with nothing.


    But having her parents go was actually a better choice.


    Barbara said indignantly, “After my mom caused a scene at thepany, Norman actually dared to call


    me and said a bunch of stuff.”


    “What did he say? What did you say? I asked curiously.


    “He said he was wrong and hoped I could forgive him, what a shameless man!” Barbara replied, “Then


    I told him I loved him very much and was willing to forgive him, and I even had some personal savings


    that I could use to go back to his hometown with him to work, but my parents were strongly against it


    and wanted me to break up with him, there was nothing I could do.”


    As soon as Barbara finished, Ste, Alicia, and I all startedughing, her mind really was quick.


    In this way, Norman would not have any excuses to refuse her. His standards for a future girlfriend


    would also be very high, where would he find another girl who is both wealthy and loves him? He would


    always remember Barbara’s kindness to him, but he didn’t cherish it, and ended up losing everything.


    They stayed with me for a long time before they left. I was bored, so I started ying a game on my


    phone, but theter levels were too difficult, I gradually became frustrated.


    “I’m pi ssed!” After failing the level twelve times, I was about to threw my phone.


    “What did the phone do wrong?” Russel appeared in the doorway, dressed in a doctor’s uniform,


    wearing a mask, only revealing a pair of nice eyebrows and eyes, looking cool and handsome.


    Seeing him, I immediately calmed down, leisurely put down my phone, and said, “Nothing, just


    stretching.”


    Russel hummed lightly, clearly not really believing my words.


    He came in, nced at the table full of nutritional supplements, flipped through them. Vitamins, honey,


    truffles, then he saw a bottle of vodka. He raised an eyebrow, “Is this from Ste?”


    I couldn’t think of anyone else who would give vodka as a nutritional supplement.


    I didn’t check what these nutritional supplements were, and I couldn’t turn my head too much, so I just


    nodded casually, “Yep, that’s her.”


    Russel speechlessly put down the gift box, and then asked, “How did you get hurt?”


    This was the third time I had to exin how I got injured.


    But I exined with more details to Russel, for example, Bonnie lived near the Zion Chemical nt,


    the man who negotiated with Neil, Dean, was her father.


    “Do you think it’s because Bonnie contacted him that he went to negotiate personally?” Russel asked


    again.


    “What else could it be?” I retorted, “Don’t you think this is a good opportunity for Neil to win over


    Bonnie? He set a trap, and he just happens to be the one who can break it. If I were Bonnie, I’d


    definitely fall for him!”


    That’s true, if I were Bonnie, I wouldn’t be able to resist a man who was both rich and handsome, who


    spent so much money on me, made such an effort for me, and was even willing to divorce his wife to


    marry me. As long as I was sane, I’d definitely ept him.


    Every time Russel saw me acting so indifferent towards Neil, there was always a sh of confusion in


    his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.


    “You’re not Bonnie,” he suddenly leaned in, poked my bandaged head with his finger, and said with a


    hint of admiration, “Not bad, even though you look skinny and malnourished, you’re surprisingly


    resilient.”


    “What do you mean?” I didn’t understand what he was saying.


    “With a moderate concussion like yours, most people would experience some typical symptoms, such


    as dizziness, vomiting, even amnesia. In severe cases, some might even suffer from partial paralysis or


    convulsions. But you, you just cked out for a while,” Russel exined.


    So, he came to check if I was that bad, huh?


    Just as we were chatting, Neil surprisingly showed up again. Seeing Russel by my bedside, chatting


    with me, he frowned slightly.

    Chapter 53


    “You’re here.” Spotting Neil, Russel greeted him calmly, “I’ve got to go.”


    “Alright.” Neil responded indifferently. Only after watching Russel leave did he put down the food he


    was holding. “What were you two talking about the Aun wrong with your heart?”


    My mind went nk for a moment before I responded, “Is there something wrong with my heart?”


    The next second, I saw Neil turned grumpy in a sudden. His gaze turning sharp as he repeated, “Isn’t


    there something wrong with your heart?


    My heart ski pped a beat. Russel must have told Neil about my heart difort, using it as a cover up


    for our previous interactions.


    “Actually, I’m good. I think it might be due tock of rest. I asionally feel some chest pain and


    thought there might be something wrong with my heart. That’s why we asked Dr. Russel about it a few


    times!” I quickly came up with an excuse.
