Jordyn was surprised to run into N again at the hospital. After a moment’s hesitation, she decided to follow her.
N, preupied with her own thoughts, didn’t notice that she was being followed.
By the time N arrived at Harrison’s hospital room, it was already past 9:00 p.m. Only Harrison wast inside.
“Dad, where’s Wren?” N asked.
Harrison looked up, surprised to see his daughter. “Why are you here sote? Wren went home to get me some <b>fresh </b>clothes.<b>” </b>
N sat by the bedside, her expression serious. “Dad, I need to ask you something.”
Harrison smiled. “What’s the matter? Why the serious face?”
“When you<b>, </b>Mom, and Clement were in university, did Clement have a thing for Mom?”
Harrison frowned. “Did someone say something to you?”
Seeing his reaction, N was convinced Lucia’s information was <b>correct</b>. “So it’s true?”
Harrison sighed. “That’s all from many years ago, and your mother and I are divorced now. Why are you asking about this?”
N paused. After the divorce, N’s mother had quickly gone abroad and had been out of touch ever since.
“I just need to confirm a few things,” she said.
“N, the past is the past. Focus on your own life now. That’s what matters,” Harrison said.
Ing Harrison’s loving gaze made N’s heart ache. If it hadn’t been for that ident six years ago, he would still be the owner of Harris Pharmaceuticals, not the old man now dependent on his son–inw’s favor.
“Don’t worry, Dad. I understand. It’s gettingte. I’ll head back now,” N replied.
As N got up to leave, Jordyn quickly stepped into a nearby stairwell to avoid being seen.
Once the footsteps had faded, Jordyn pulled out her phone and dialed a number. “Find out what illness N’s father <b>has</b><b>.</b>”
When N arrived home, it was already past 10:00 pm

rk was sitting in the living room, looking displeased. “Where have you been?”
“I went to visit my dad at the hospital,” N replied.
“That’s it?” rk pressed.
N <b>changed </b>her shoes and looked up at him. “What else would I be doing? Do you think I went toBelonging to N?velDrama.Org.

secretly meet Uncle Damon?”
rk scowled. He had indeed thought so earlier.
“N, I’m just concerned for you. It’s unsafe for you to be out alone at night. If you wanted to visit your father, you could have asked me toe with you,” he said,
N smiled with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. “You said you’ve been very busy during dinner. How could I ask you to trouble yourself with my dad?”
rk rubbed his forehead,
such a harsh manner? Ny somewhat helpless. “When did we be like this, always talking in
such a harsh manner? N, we’re supposed to be lovers, not enemies<b>.</b><b>” </b>
He wanted to resolve their issues, but N never gave him a chance. He wasn’t sure how much longer he could keep trying. His love for her seemed to be wearing thin with every cold remark she made.
They had once loved each other deeply–he didn’t want their rtionship to end in animosity.
Nughed lightly and asked, “rk, don’t you think it’s your fault we’ve be this way<i>?</i><i>” </i>
She had given him her heart for eight years, only to end up betrayed. How did he have the nerve to question why they had grown apart?
Before rk could respond, his phone rang. Upon seeing Jordyn’s name on the screen, his gaze froze.
N saw the name too, and her smile turned into a mocking smirk as she walked past him.
rk tensed, wanting to stop her but clenching his fists instead. He didn’t answer the call until N disappeared down the hallway.
“What’s up?” he asked.
Jordyn began, “rk, something happened to my dad. Can you-“.
“No. Jordyn, I’m not your husband. I have no obligation to clean up your family’s mess!” rk cut her off.
