N’s steps faltered, and she red at rk. “What did you tell m, ad?!”
Before rk could respond, Harrison shouted, “You’re questioning rk? How could you betray him with his uncle?!”
N’s fingers trembled with rage. <b>She </b>couldn’t believe rk had the gall to twist the truth, and even more, she couldn’t believe her father had fallen for it.
“Dad, do you really see me as that kind of person? You didn’t even ask me, and you just believed rk’s side of the story, thinking I betrayed him?!” she questioned.
N took a deep breath, deciding not to hide rk’s infidelity any longer. “Do you know it was he who-”
“N, your dad was so upset earlier that he almost fainted. The doctor said he can’t take any more stress. Do you really want to push him to the brink?”
rk’s loud voice drowned out N’s words.
She clenched her hands at her sides, her hatred for rk reaching a peak. “If you know my dad can’t <b>take </b>stress, why did youe here and tell him nonsense?!!
rk sighed, looking helpless. “Fine. If you say there’s nothing between you and my uncle, then I’ll believe you. Just move back home and I won’t hold anything against you.”
Harrison, who had just calmed down a bit, got agitated again. “You moved out?!”? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
N took another deep breath and spoke slowly. “Dad, I’ll exin everything to youter. Right now, you need to focus on getting better. Please don’t get involved in our issues.”
“Move back home immediately! Married couples shouldn’t live apart!” Harrison ordered.
Harrison and N’s mother had divorced after sleeping in separate rooms. He didn’t want N to go down the same path. Besides, if N left rk, she might be vulnerable to bullying.
rk quickly tried to soothe Harrison. “Dad, don’t worry. I’ll talk to N. I’m sure she’lle back home.
soon<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Seeing rk’s seemingly conciliatory act, N was furious. “rk, can you stop pretending and making everyone sick<b>?</b><b>” </b>
She hadn’t revealed rk’s misdeeds out of concern for Harrison’s health. Yet, rk had exploited that, ndering her in front of Harrison.
Harrison frowned <b>and </b>was about to speak when the hospital room door opened.
Wren walked in with a thermos, smiling as she saw both N and rk. “N, you and rk came to visit your dad?”
N nodded briefly, then looked at rk. “Our problems are between us. Don’t bring it up in front of the elders. Let’s settle this outside.”
With that, she turned <b>and </b>left the room.
Harrison called after her, but <b>she </b>ignored him.
Wren nced at rk, her brows furrowing slightly. She was aware of his affair, and seeing him now filled her with disapproval and dissatisfaction.
rk didn’t notice her gaze. He turned to Harrison and said, “Dad, today was my fault. Don’t be angry with N. I’ll handle this. Please don’t worry.”
Harrison sighed. “N has been spoiled by me since she was little. For my sake, please be more patient
with her.”
“Don’t worry. She’s my wife. I’ll take good care of her,” rk assured him.
With that, rk nodded to Wren and left the room.
As he stepped out, he saw N waiting at the end of the hallway. She was clearly waiting for him.
rk smiled <b>and </b>walked toward her.
As soon as he reached her, she pped him <b>hard </b>across the face.
