Chapter 210


    I didn’t speak, but continued to busy myself with my work. Seeing that I wasn’t the least bit


    bothered. Jessica seemed to have lost interest, so she changed the subject “Lilian, can’t you just be


    normal for once?”


    “Do I look abnormal?”


    Absolutely! Everyone shows their emotions. Only you act indifferent to everything. Besides work, you


    only think about your family. I really don’t know how you have fun living like this.


    Jessica’s words pierced my heart. Besides work, I only cared about my family: had I really lived like this


    for thest five


    years?


    I loved to y and have fun. Like all girls, I was very confident in life and had lots of friends. But after I


    married Carson, I only had two friends, Isabe and Jolene. Every day, Imuted between work and


    family with just those two things in mind. I got lost and just became one of Carson’s essories. In the


    past I didn’t look down on women who only had work and family on their minds after marriage, but now

    it honestly seemed like the biggest joke in the world to me.


    I was working hard for thepany and my family, but Carson was working hard for money and his


    lover. In this marriage, I had lost from the beginning.


    I stopped working and sighed heavily, letting Jessica see my dismay right away. “What is wrong?”


    “Anything.” I hid my destion with a smile.


    “Somehow I feel like something is wrong with youtely. Did you encounter any problems?”


    “No, I’m fine.”


    “Do not lie to me. I’m very perceptive, okay? You must have run into some problem.” Jessica refused to


    let me go. “Lilian, I am closest to you in thepany. Don’t hold back if you have a problem. Just tell


    me. Maybe I can help you make decisions too.”


    “What problem could I have?” Jessica had a stubborn mind. Just as I was having a headache from his


    endless questions, my phone rang. When I answered the call, Dn’s voice came over the


    phone. “Lily, I’m right downstairs outside yourpany. Get down here quickly.”


    “What happened?” Dn’s tone was so serious that a trace of anxiety shot through my heart.


    “It is a very important matter. Please excuse yourself first ande down quickly. Don’t dy. I’ll tell


    youter.”


    Although I didn’t know why Dn was looking for me, I could tell by his serious tone that it was


    definitely not a trivial matter. So I agreed and hung up the phone.


    Just as I was about to call President Smith to ask for a leave of absence, the phone on my desk


    rang. How I got it. President


    Smith’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Lilian, pleasee to my office.”


    “President Smith, I’m sorry, but I have an urgent matter to attend to right now. Do I need to ask for a


    permit?”


    “What is the urgent matter?” asked President Smith.


    “It is something very important.” I didn’t know why Dn reached out to her, so I could only respond,


    “Oh, okay. So go ahead first” President Smith easily agreed, which surprised me.


    After I hung up the phone, I grabbed my purse and left. Jessica followed me, asking, “Did young master


    Dn call you


    just now?”


    “Yes.”

    I took the elevator downstairs and caught a glimpse of Dn’s car. When Dn saw me leaving, he got


    out of the car and opened the car door for me. As I got into the car, I asked, “What happened?”


    “Mr. Hawkins was hospitalized for a sudden brain hemorrhage!”
