Chapter 79
“Your father has been transferred to Worldine Hospital. You and your stepmother should visit him there. He can go home as soon as he recovers.”
Rena read the message again and again.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Finally… She finally felt she could breathe again!
After Rena hung up the call, Harold furiously pounded the steering wheel of his car.
Doubts consumed him as he pondered, was she still the woman he once knew?
Harold found himself engulfed in a melancholic mood, reluctant to acknowledge that Rena’s presence had an undeniable impact on his emotions.
He reasoned that he was upset simply because he had failed to get her.
Instead of seeking medical attention for his waist injury, Harold veered off course and directed his car towards an upscale club where he often engaged in business discussions with his associates.
This establishment exuded an air of exclusivity, attracting individuals of notable standing.
Once inside, Harold retreated to a private room, seeking solace in the isolation it offered.
With a heavy heart, he poured himself a drink and silently contemplated his current predicament.
Observing Harold’s despondency, the manager approached and joined him for a drink, displaying genuine concern. “Mr. Moore, have you had a disagreement with your girlfriend?” he inquired politely. “Why else would you be indulging in daytime drinking? I have heard that the young lady from the Fowler family holds deep affection for you. How could she possibly quarrel with you?”
Leaning back on the luxurious leather sofa, Harold cast his gaze downward and murmured, “Does she truly love me so much?”
The manager, sporting a warm smile, proceeded to pour Harold a glass of wine. “If a woman loves you so much, she must be obedient to you.”
Harold silently sipped half of his wine, lost in thought.
After a brief pause, a smile slowly formed on his lips as he questioned, “But what if, one day, she ceases to be obedient? Does that imply her love for me has vanished?”
The manager, eager to appease Harold’s concerns, replied flatteringly, “You possess extraordinary qualities. How could she possibly stop loving you?”

“Come and keep Mr. Moore company. We can‘ let him drink alone,” the manager instructed the escort.
Harold was on the verge of declining but, as he lifted his head, he was taken aback.
The escort’s pristine countenance bore an uncanny resemblance to Rena’s, particularly when viewed from the side. His astonishment compelled him to pull the girl closer and call out, “Rena?”
Recognizing the situation, the manager tactfully exited the room.
Left alone in the private space were Harold and the female escort.
