Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 200 200: I will go on his behalf

The next morning, Eveline arrived at the hospital to find her father surrounded by work.

"Uncle Mark, how can you let my dad work in this condition?" Mark, Jonathan's assistant, pursed his lips and stared anxiously at Jonathan.

"It's not his fault, Princess. I was the one who was bored here, so I asked him to bring some work." Jonathan stated in a casual tone, but his carelessness infuriated Eveline.

"And who told you to do that?" She yelled, racing towards his bed.

With her hands crossed, she asked, "Are you still recovering, Dad? If your doctor says you need to rest, why would you ever consider working?"

Jonathan stared down at the paperwork strewn across his leg.

Eveline was aware that her father prioritized his work over his health. But this wasn't just a usual cold or fever; he had been in an accident that injured his leg, and instead of resting and mending, he called his assistant and brought work.

"Um, let me sign these few documents, then I'll let Mark handle the rest," he continued, as she rolled her eyes at his insistence.

"Boss, about the Larson's Group Event..." As soon as Mark said it, Jonathan gave him a glare.

"Cancel it," he said.

"But, boss, your presence is required. Manu business delegates would respect the occasion, and if you didn't attend, it would damage your standing in the business community," Mark clarified.

Larson's Group may be a competitive corporation, but they are still businessmen, and neglecting such an important event involving industrialists from all over the world would be a bad decision.

"You want me to attend the event with a broken leg?" Jonathan inquired, his tone flat and solemn.

"I didn't mean to say that," Mark fumbled to avoid his boss's enraged glare and lowered his gaze.

Eveline, who was discreetly witnessing the conversation, inquired, "The event is tomorrow, right?"

Jonathan's brow furrowed as he observed Eveline's inquiry.

"Yes, ma'am," Mark replied.
