The phone was silent for a few seconds before Jordyn’s voice, trembling with tears, broke through. “I know, but I don’t know who else to turn to… I’m sorry Fll find a way myself and won’t bother you anymore


    With that, Jordyn hung up.


    rk furrowed his brow, frustration surging within him. He appreciated Jordyn’s gentle and understanding nature, but he didn’t want to be entangled with her family. If he got involved now, they’de to him with every problem in the future. He wasn’t running a charity.


    However, considering that she was still carrying his child, he felt he should at least help handle the situation.


    After a moment of hesitation, rk finally put on his suit jacket and left.


    Upstairs, after N finished her shower, she heard the sound of a car engine starting outside. Pausing mid -motion, she walked to the window and saw rk’s car driving away.


    She drew her gaze back, dried her hair, andpleted her skincare routine before going to bed.


    When rk arrived at the hospital, he found Jordyn sitting outside the operating room, trembling uncontrobly. Beside her sat a middle–aged woman, her face etched with worry, her <b>hair </b>streaked with gray–clearly someone worn down by a hard life.


    rk approached and asked coldly, “What’s going on?”


    Jordyn looked up with red, tear–filled eyes and instinctively threw herself into his arms. “rk… He had an ident while bringing me something… The doctors say it’s very serious. I’m so scared…” rk frowned, patting her back. “Calm down. Let’s wait <b>until </b>the surgery is over.”


    my dad….


    uest then, an angry voice echoed. “What are you doing?!”


    rk and Jordyn turned to see Harrison storming toward them, his <b>face </b>red with fury.


    Wren, who was behind him, tried to hold him back but failed.


    Harrison reached rk and pped him hard across the face.


    rk didn’t flinch, though the p left a clear mark.


    Jordyn was taken aback. “rk…”


    Harrison’s face flushed with anger, his whole body trembling. “rk, how did you promise me you would treat my daughter when you married her? And now, here you are with another woman, hugging andforting her in the middle of the night. How can you face my daughter?”


    He had been puzzled about why N had been so dejectedtely and had moved out on her own. It all made sense now. rk was cheating!


    The thought of N suffering so much while still putting on a brave face and hiding her pain made Harrison’s heart ache.


    “Dad, it’s not what you think. Let me exin,” rk pleaded.


    Harrison’s eyes were icy. “I’ll call N over. You can exin everything to us in front of her!”This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Harrison began to dial N with trembling hands, but rk snatched the phone away.


    “Dad, I know you’re angry. She’s my secretary. Her father is having surgery right now. I was justforting her,” rk said, trying to sound convincing.


    rk needed to find a way to calm Harrison down, or else he’d be left without any support if N decided to divorce him.


    Harrison wasn’t buying it.


    What kind of employer would visit the hospital in the middle of the night tofort his secretary while her father was in surgery? And why would he be hugging her instead of simply talking to her?
