Chapter 110

Sullivan was on the verge of speaking when the operating room door swung open.

The doctor stepped out, taking a deep breath of relief. “After a thorough stomach pump, the patient is out of danger now. Please rest assured, Mr. Lowry. Our hospital will fully cooperate with the authorities regarding this medical incident”

Sullivan’s expression was calm. Turning to Bianca, he gave his instructions, “Make the arrangements to transfer Cressida to the Lowry Hospital at dawn.”

Bianca, looking exhausted with dark circles under her eyes, nodded in agreement.

It was then that Dahlia spoke up, her voice tinged with concern, “Mr. Lowry, aren’t you staying with us? With our little Cressida? She just came back from death’s door, she needs you by her side!*

Bianca snapped at her, “Mr. Lowry isn’t a doctor!”

Dahlia fell silent, not daring to say another word.

Sullivan then turned to Begonia with a slight smile, “Rushed off my feet, I didn’t manage to soothe Megan properly. She’s probably sulking under the covers right now. Don’t worry, Begonia, I’m heading home to

sweet–talk her.”

He glanced at his watch.

“With seven hours before the morning rush, I reckon that’s plenty of time to charm a lady. A tiff between husband and wife is often short–lived. You know, Begonia, you really should consider tying the knot; then you’d understand the joys of having a wife.

His inimical words were laced with a hint of flirtation.

Begonia could definitely read between the lines.

Watching Sullivan’s figure, which was so noble and dignified, Begonia lowered his gaze with a smile. Sullivan himself hadn’t realized that his concern for Megan had long surpassed that of an ordinary couple. Those flirty remarks were nothing but a man’s possessive desire.

When Sullivan returned to his villa, it was 1 a.m.

The house was shrouded in darkness, and even the upstairs lights were out.
