Since he felt guilty, Dominic behaved himself the entire night.


    The next morning, Cara was about to head out to get groceries when she let out a startled scream. Then, she hurriedly shut the door again.


    Upon hearing themotion, Dominic put a shirt on and headed outside. "What''s wrong?"


    She pointed at the door and said, "Someone is sleeping at the doorstep with a bunch of bags. Could it be Ms. Jones'' father?"


    Dominic frowned as he opened the door to take a look. It was indeed Simon. He was sleeping in front of the door with all of his belongings like a homeless person.


    Dominic was starting to question his decision. Had he been too harsh with Simon? If Simon were still basking in his former glory, he wouldn''t have shown up at their doorstep like this.


    Despite being fast asleep, Dominic was still woken up by themotion. On the other hand, Simon didn''t even move an inch.


    "Hey. Wake up," Dominic walked forward and called out.


    Simon was still.


    "Is he dead?" Cara asked softly.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    There was no way Dominic was letting something like that happen at Be''s doorstep. He immediately reached forward to check if Simon was breathing. The man was still alive. He just didn''t look sound. Dominic promptly took out his phone and dialed 911. It was better to leave such matters to the hospital.


    He had just ended the call when Be walked out of the bedroom. "What''s going on? Why are you two standing at the door?" she asked groggily.


    Cara didn''t dare to respond. Dominic paused before saying, "Your father is at the door. He doesn''t look very well. I already called 911."


    Be frowned, Despite Cara''s


    obstruction, she approached Simon and casually checked on him. "He''s probably malnourished. The injury on his leg is inmed too. That''s why he has a fever. He''s


    unconscious, but he''ll live. Let''s just


    wait for the ambnce to t


    Afterward, she nonchntly walked off to wash up and have breakfast. No one knew about the raging emotions hidden beneath her calm exterior.


    Soon, the ambnce arrived and took Simon to the hospital. Dominic had Cara tag along in order to follow up on the situation.


    Be finished her breakfast like it was routine and chugged a huge ss of milk. To her dismay, she felt incredibly nauseous. She ended up throwing up in the end. Dominic handed her water and some tissue. "What are you nning to do? Since you don''t like the way I do things, we''ll do it your way."


    Be fell silent. After a long period of time, she said, "Why did my mother get involved with a scumbag like that?"


    There was no way she could get an answer to that question. She wasn''t able to talk to the dead.


    Not a whileter, they received news from the hospital. Simon needed to undergo another surgery for his leg Since she couldn''t be bothered to


    deal with it, Be ended up ask lone


    Dominic to settle the matter in end

    Dominic only headed off when Cara returned from the hospital. The hospital needed a family member to sign off on the paperwork for Simon''s surgery. Dominic was there in Be''s stead. Simon had already regained consciousness. When he saw Dominic, he became slightly anxious. "Where''s Be?"


    "She won''t being," Dominic responded in a cold voice. "I''ll be dealing with this. Whatever it is, we can talk about it after the surgery."


    Simon was afraid of dying on the operating table. "Ask Be toe. She needs to sign the paperwork!"


    Dominic ignored him and requested


    the consent form. When the doctor asked about his rtionship with Simon, he simply said, "I''m his daughter''s husband. His daughter is pregnant and can''t be here."


    Despite Simon''s refusal, he was ushered into the operating room.


    Dominic waited in the corridor outside with a nk face. While he waited, he made a call and figured out where Simon spent the 1.5 million dors that he gave him.
