Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 149

That afternoon, John hauled over the CEO's laptop, along with all the contracts, reports, and project proposals they'd need in the next few days, straight into Allison's hospital room. He even set up a desk and chair for Joshua.

Even though Allison had hired a nurse, Joshua was adamant about being there for her in person.

There wasn't much for him to do-nurses handled the IVs, a cook took care of meals, and the aide was around for cleaning and serving tea. But Joshua, despite his packed schedule, always found something to keep busy with.
