“Now that you’ve come around, you should really sit down and talk with Rebecca over the next few days,” Stanley said, giving Jeffrey a reassuring pat on the shoulder. “Even if you can’t be a couple, you can still be friends. Don’t act like you’re mortal enemies.”

Jeffrey didn’t respond.

They’d almost ended up as mortal enemies.

“Any time you’re feeling off, make sure you tell your doctor right away,” Stanley said, sounding especially sincere. “Don’t act like you’re invincible. You’re not just the CEO of the Hanson Group–you’re also Samuel’s dad.”

“Where’s Stephen?” Jeffrey asked.

“No idea,” Stanley replied honestly. “Either he’s trying to get you kicked out so he can gun for the CEO chair at the Hanson Group, or he’s getting close to Rebecca and planning to use her to wreck you and your reputation.”

Jeffrey pulled out his phone and sent Gregory a message.

Once Jeffrey finished texting, Stanley jumped in, eager to push further. “So, how are you gonna get Rebecca back?”

Understand?”

Jeffrey kicked off the blanket and got out of bed.

Stanley blocked his way, saying, “Where do you think you’re going?”

I’m leaving the hospital, Jeffrey replied.

“Leave? You’re nowhere near recovered! You wanna walk out just so we gotta wheel you right back in?” Stanley yanked him back down. “Maybe you don’t care about the hassle, but trust me–Gregory, the medical team, and I are getting pretty sick of it.”

Jeffrey didn’t even bother to respond.

Once Jeffrey set his mind to something, wild horses couldn’t drag him back. He and Rebecca really were two
