Fuming, May flung the pile of hospital paperwork she was holding right at Dylan, hitting him straight in the face.

Dylan had never been treated like this before. He pushed himself up, his patience running thin. “You’re the one who called me back, and now you’re the one losing it. Honestly, you need to get a job or something. Look at what staying home all day has done to you.”

May froze, staring at him in disbelief. “What did you just say?”

Dylan let out a cold laugh. “If you’re not happy with how things are, then go get a job. You’re just bored out of your mind.”

Dylan’s tone softened a little. “What did the doctor say?”

Charles closed his eyes, his face impassive. “It’s nothing serious.”

“Then just rest. Don’t worry about the company for now,” Dylan said.

He stood up to leave, and May immediately followed him out.

“Dylan, how can you be so cold? That’s your own son!” May yelled after him.
