One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 171

Chapter 171 Who Is the Gossipmonger

That very day, Courtney’s name was listed on the notice of discipline issued by the person in charge. She was suspended without pay for a month and had to cooperate with their internal investigation into the cause of the fire. Upon receiving the notice of discipline in the early hours of the morning, the Human Resource Department bluntly rejected her letter of resignation on the grounds that ‘no resignation was allowed during the suspension period’. As a result, she had no means of venting out her anger. She couldn’t even go to the company.

Cameron brought some breakfast with her when she visited Tina and Courtney at the hospital. Tina was eating some porridge on the hospital bed, and her voice was still rather hoarse as she said, “Mommy, will Jordan be coming today?”

Courtney was blowing on the porridge to cool it. When she heard the question, she frowned slightly. “Jordan was not feeling well over the past two days and has been hospitalized. Unfortunately, he is not staying at this hospital. I’m sure he’ll come and visit you once he gets better.”

“Then, what about Daddy?” Under Scott’s instruction, Tina successfully changed the way she addressed Alexander; she now directly addressed him as ‘Daddy’.

Courtney lifted her head abruptly, a displeased scowl appearing between her eyebrows. “He is not your daddy! Don’t call him that anymore!”

The sudden admonishment frightened Tina, and her eyes immediately filled with tears. “Mommy…”

“Oh, my dear… Alright, alright,” Cameron came over to smooth things over. She pulled Tina into her arms and said, “I know you had a fight with Alexander, but you shouldn’t vent your anger on a child. Tina, don’t cry.”

Tina was usually not one to cry so easily. However, she suffered a huge scare during the fire and had been feeling jumpy ever since she woke up in the emergency room yesterday. Therefore, all it took was for Courtney to raise her voice suddenly to startle Tina to tears again.
