Chapter 321


    "Auntie, I believe you know that the reason I quit was because of you. That''s why I can''t find a job in


    the whole industry. If I get a job in a new field, I would never be able to fulfil the one year promise."


    Wayne blurted out bluntly.


    Sure enough!


    Queenie grinned at once. She did not bother hiding the fact that she yed dirty tricks as she said with


    a smile, "Yes, it was me. However, I only asked for the inspection team to inspect your area. I didn''t


    expect the investigation to reach your leader, hence, I conveniently spread the news. I wanted to test


    your capabilities too. If you can''t even endure such a minor setback, what right do you have to date my


    daughter?"


    "Yes, that''s why I chose another job that can bring me glory in a short period of time."


    Wayne looked at Queenie.


    It was already the end of the year, and a newpetitive season was about to begin. As long as


    Wayne''s team performed well, there would be sponsorships and endorsements waiting for them, and


    his sry would naturally increase.


    Wayne was confident about that.


    "Work? You call ying games working?"


    "Yes, it''s a career. Since you''ve given me a year''s time without limiting what industry I have to be in, it''s


    my freedom to do any job I want."


    Wayne had already decided to take a job that he liked and could do well in.


    "Well, let me tell you, the George family will not give you a single penny. Even if you can''t afford to eat


    anything throughout the whole year, don''t even think of getting anything out of my daughter."


    Queenie had other ns. She would have offered a different job for Wayne if he and Coralie begged


    her for it today.


    It was bad enough for her that Wayne was giving her an attitude, but the sharpness of Coralie''s words


    made it worse!


    "That won''t happen. My brother won''t take any money from your family. Rest assured, Madam


    Hond."


    Coralie changed her salutation for Queenie.


    "Get out of here, you viin!" Hendric said out of the blue.


    A child''s view of the world was the purest. As Hendric could see how unjustly Queenie was treating


    Wayne and Coralie, he got mad. Rushing forward, he grabbed Queenie''s hand and tried to pull her out


    of the door.


    "Hendric, be a good boy. She''s going to leave right away."


    Coralie hoisted Hendric in her arms immediately.


    "Of course I''ll leave." Queenie felt ashamed that even a child was trying to chase her out. Holding her


    purse, she walked to the door, and looked at Coralie and Hendric angrily, "Coralie, how dare you raise


    a child of the Hond family to be so uneducated?!"


    Thereupon, Queenie then left angrily.


    After Queenie left, Hera walked out of the kitchen and said, "Wayne, I think what that person just said is


    right. Why don''t you consider another job? It doesn''t matter if you work a little harder, as long as it''s a


    serious job. I could help you by asking about the job as a security guard in the previous unit. Do you


    want to give it a shot?"


    Hera''s thoughts were conventional and old-fashioned. She was the reason Wayne worked in a bank


    previously, as he did not want her to worry.


    To a certain extent, she agreed with Queenie. She also felt that Wayne was fooling around with his


    current job.


    "Mom, give Wayne a chance! Can''t you see that Wayne has finally regained his previous luster?"


    Although Coralie understood Hera, the fact that she would rather let Wayne be a security guard than let


    him do what he liked did not sit well with Coralie.


    "Coralie, if you were to marry a man who ys games for a living, I would object to it. You told me


    before that Josephine''s husband wasn''t working seriously when he yed games for a living, why is it


    different when ites to your own brother?"


    "Mom, it''s different." Coralie wanted to defend Wayne, but she found that she did not understand the


    difference between Wayne''s job and Andrew''s, so she simply said to Wayne, "You should exin it to


    Mom."


    Wayne then gave Hera an exnation of the differences between his work and ying games.


    Although Hera nodded in agreement, deep down, she was still very worried.


    ......


    It was Friday.


    Coralie went to visit Skr at the rehabilitation center, but she brought Hendric along with her this time


    around.


    As Wayne had moved to Melvin''s ce, Carolie was afraid that taking care of Hendric would be too


    much for Hera to handle alone, so she asked Skr if she could bring Hendric along with her for the


    visit.


    "Dad!"


    After entering the lobby, Hendric happily ran towards Skr the moment he saw him.


    Coralie followed closely behind and noticed that there were several new foreign doctors around Skr.


    "Skr, these are..."


    "They are specialists that I have hired from abroad. They are here to check up on me as I am ready for


    surgery."


    Skr said to Coralie.


    "Surgery?" Coralie was mildly surprised. "Didn''t you say that getting physiotherapy was enough? Why


    do you still have to get an operation?"


    "Let me exin, Mrs. Hond." Hearing Coralie''s doubts, the doctor next to her answered, "Although it


    is possible to achieve aplete recovery in President Hond solely through physiotherapy, the time


    needed is too long and it''s not the most effective of methods. There are advancements in technology


    abroad where surgery coupled with physiotherapy using certain machines would achieve a better


    oue in a much shorter period of time. If he makes a full recovery, he can be up and about in no


    time at all."


    "Yes, that''s how it is."


    Skr nodded.


    "Then... are there any risks for the operation?"


    This was what Coralie was most concerned about. She didn''t mind how long it took for Skr to


    recover, because she would be by his side no matter what.


    However, if there were risks in the operation...


    "Of course, as with all surgeries, there will be risks, but we will do our best to minimize them."


    "Is it a must?"


    Coralie was really worried for Skr.


    "Don''t worry, nothing''s going to happen. Trust me." Skr held Coralie''s hand as he held Hendric in an


    embrace, "Don''t worry, I''ll definitely pull through for the both of you."


    "I believe in you, Daddy!"


    Hendric didn''t know what an operation was, but he decided to ce full trust in his father, seeing the


    determination on his face.


    "I believe in you too."


    In fact, she knew that Skr had made his decision, and he would never change his mind. All she


    could do now was to have faith in him.


    "President Hond, when do you think it''ll be convenient for you to have the operation?"


    Seeing Coralie and Hendric agree to it, the doctor understood that the operation was a go.


    Skr thought for a moment before he grabbed Coralie''s hand and said, "After the new year then. I


    owe my wife a new year''s eve celebration and I need to make it up to her this year."


    He was talking about what happened four years ago.


    During that time, Skr invited Coralie to watch the fireworks with him during New Year''s eve, but


    Skr never showed up. Coralie waited alone in the hotel for an entire night.


    "That soon?" Coralie eximed.

    It was already December, and there was less than half a month to the new year.


    "Time''s running out. The earlier President Hond gets the treatment, the better. It wouldn''t be a good


    idea to dy it."


    The doctor exined.


    "Then... how long will he have to spend abroad?"


    For the sake of Skr''s health, she couldn''t make him stay, thus she could only ask when he would


    return.
