“I’m here. Flena” Galvin approached the bed, stunned, when Elona leaped from the bed, threw her ams around his waist, and hugged him tight.
His brows twitched, thinking, Fiona had such a reflex for an injured woman.
“Galvin, I am happy that you are here. Flew it! You still love me so much.”
Fiona was bewildered Her face soured when Calvin didn’t sound like he was worried about her
the angry because of Kristel Fiona assumed it was the case. She pursed her lips and wiped the annoyance exhibited in her countenance.
She peeked at Galvin, pouted, and grumbled coquettishly, “Galvin, I’m afraid of the thunder. Please, accompany me tonight.”
She was confident that Galen would not refuse her. However, she was wrong Galvin was firmly about leaving.
“I’m sorry, Fiona. I was in the middle of a video conference when I left and rushed over, Ineed to explain this to my Asian business partners.”
“Can’t you do that using your laptop? Galvin, I’m afraid to sleep when lightning strikes violently, one after another, followed by the loud rumble of the sky. Please, don’t leave Fiona raised her head and looked at Gabin with pitiful eyes. She also squeezed a few tears that softened his heart.
Calvin pered at Fion
Kristel was also afraid of thunder but never complained about it. She was always alone in the villa after she turned down his Grand Gloria’s or to send a few of her servants to take care of the buse chers.
Now, he couldn’t get rid of his worry for Kristel mixed with arguets after he chased her away railet out of the impulse of his extreme concern to Fiona
Fondering, Galvin scanned Fiona’s units injuries. The docter told him not to worry about it and said she could go bome in two or three days.

Fios flinched when she felt the changes in the air surrounding Galvin. “Whom he is angryat?“–
the wishes it was Kristel Delighted by this thought, she opened her mouth and said, “Galston, Kristel is.……..‘
At the door, a knock sounded, followed by Cory’s soft voice. He pushed the door open and poked his head inside, where Fiona’s murderous glare met his eyes
Cory allowed and ignored the woman
“Boss.” In his hand was a phone. He looked at les boss meaningfully, and Galvin understood.
Fiona tightened her gripon Galvin’s am, but she was disappointed when the latter patted her hand and sold,
“Be good. I most explain what happened and as my business partners that everything is fine.
Before she could utter another word furthermore, alicut beroff immediately.
“Our partnership is at ideal stage, in You must understand this.” Calvin removed Elona’s hands from alpping and then turned around.
Fiona was feeling down and disappointed. Even though she was angry, she realized she shouldn’t test Calvin’s patience. If she kept bothering him, she might not achieve her goals, and all herefforts would be for nothing.
Outside the ward, Galvin took the phone from Cory and spoke to the man on the other line.
“Hello, President Li.”
“President Hudson, 1 heard your wife was in an accident. Is she alright?”
“Everything is fine now, President Li, I’m sorry about earlier.” As he uttered his calm response, Galvin shot a sharp look in Cory’s direction as he delivered his calm reply.

“That’s alight. I’m glad to hear that nothing serious has happened to your wife. If I were your shoes, I would do the same as well Definitely, I will also fly the distance to the hospital and accompany nw wife.”
Galvin pursed his lips, gazing at Cory with piercing gray eyes, telling his assistant, ‘Be grateful you were saved from my wrath.”
Galvin didn’t hide his imitation at Cory for telling a lie and even dragging Kristel into it to salvage his reputation with their Asian business partners.
Before Fiona phoned him this moming, he was already scheduled to have a video conference with them, but because of the accident, he had forgotten about that. After exchanging a few words, President Li ended the call.
Galvin tossed the phone at Cory and walked past him.
“I’m very sorry, sir! I didn’t mean to use Mrs. Hudson. But I can’t expose that….” Cory lowered his head, averting his eyes.
He would not dare finish his sentence with the line- “I cannot expose you, boss, that you are getting back together with your old flame. Now you are divorcing your nominal wife to marry your mistress!!
“You have no bonus for the entire month.
His boss stated unsympathetically, and he couldn’t raise a protest when clearly he made a mistaker.
“I’d gladly accept my punishment, boss!”
Galvin sneered, glaring at his assistant. “Tsk”
Seeing his boss resume walking and talding long steps, Cory scurried at his side and matched his pace.
He realized they were heading to the elevator, thus, he asked, “Err… Are you going back to the company, boss?”
“Oh.” Cory stopped when his boss halted and turned around with knitted brows.
“Go arrange for two nurses to accompany Fiona tonight!”
“Right away, sir!” Cory queried no more. He’s happy to vanish from his boss‘ pierced sight voluntarily.
Galvin arrived in the parking lot and entered his car. The traffic was jammed when he tried to escape the city and steered his car northwest.
Fear was etched on his face as he gazed at the sky as a bright flash of lightning illuminated the nighttime skyline, followed by a deatening crash of thunder. “Kristel.”
