Chapter 53: We Thought He'd Never Marry

Sonya smiled, seeing Mr. Reynolds pouting.

"I'm fine," he mumbled.

"Dad, you can ignore me, but not my wife!" Henry said cheekily.

let's skip the hospital. I'll give you a massage," Sonya said softly. Mr. Reynolds couldn't refuse Sonya, extending his arm for her to take his blood pressure. It was high, but not dangerously so.

Sonya began massaging his hand, from palm to fingertips, asking about his daily routine, just like she would a patient.

Mr. Reynolds, somewhat afraid of doctors, sat up straight, assuring her he hadn't been drinking or eating rich foods lately.

"No?" Linda scoffed. "Who's been ordering takeout at the office-lobster, skewers, pork belly-and still smoking and drinking, and not exercising?"

""I... I didn't."

"I installed cameras in your office. You can't hide it from me."

Mr. Reynolds remained stubborn, but silent.

After the massage, Sonya checked his blood pressure again; it was much lower.

"Quit smoking and drinking, exercise more-these are necessary. Your diet needs to be light, with a balance of meat and vegetables," Sonya adopted her doctor's demeanor, furrowing her brow."At your age, high blood pressure is dangerous; it can lead to other conditions. You must take this seriously."

"Yes, doctor. I'll listen to you.'

"Good. Start with quitting smoking and drinking."

"Huh?"

"No?"

"O-okay."
