Chapter 3 He Doesn't Know His Wife

Staring at the long string of numbers in his account balance, Orion found himself deep in thought. "Doctor, how much longer does Jessica have?" Orion turned to the doctor with a grave expression. The doctor looked troubled. Earlier, when Orion made the call, he didn't bother to hide it from him and Jessica. Both had heard everything-Seraphina had disappeared, and the surgery wasn't happening. The doctor had previously informed'Orion that Jessica was running out of time and that the surgery was necessary today. His words had been absolute, but now he found himself in an awkward position. He glanced at Jessica for help. She gave him a reassuring smile and spoke softly, "Actually, I don't feel as awful as before. Could you check me again?" "Yes, yes, let's check again!" The doctor echoed quickly.

The test results, unsurprisingly, showed that Jessica was much better. The surgery was no longer urgent.

As Orion let out a sigh of relief, a flicker of doubt crossed his mind. Wasn't this a little too coincidental? Jessica quickly explained, "Orion, don't blame the doctor. They often exaggerate the severity of a patient's condition just to get more money out of the family." accepted her explanation and said, "He deceived you like that, and yet you're not angry, Jessica. ¿e too kind."

Meanwhile, back at the Cross Estate, Seraphina had gone home. For Emeris, the richest man in the world, hiding someone's whereabouts was a piece of cake.

He had sent a private helicopter to fetch her.

As soon as Seraphina stepped off the helicopter, she saw her father and her older brother, Sivir Cross, waiting for her. "Dad! Sivir!"

The moment Seraphina saw them, her eyes turned red and welled up with tears. She threw herself into Emeris' arms. "There, there, welcome home," Emeris said, gently stroking her hair and letting out a deep sigh.

He had mixed feelings about his daughter-both sorry and frustrated with her.
