Chapter 192

When Nick saw Brenda on the verge of losing control, he felt more depressed. He rubbed his forehead in agony, his voice trembling as he begged, "Please stop torturing me. I can't take it anymore. I'm under too much pressure, and I'm frustrated too."

Brenda was taken aback by the pain in Nick's voice. Her tears stopped instantly as concern flashed across her face. "What's going on? You became haggard in just a few days. Is something wrong with you?"

It finally dawned on Brenda that something was off with Nick. She remembered how charming he used to be, even as he reached middle age. However, now, he seemed so worn out.

You're supposed to stay at home, support your husband, and take care of the family. Are you trying to kill him?" Wendy responded calmly to the accusation. "Let me explain. Before I came back, I went to pick up Nick's test results. His blood pressure and cholesterol are a bit high, but with some attention to his diet and exercise, there shouldn't be any major issues.

"As for Alzheimer's disease, the doctor just said there's a potential risk, but it's not confirmed.

"Don't worry, Nick has been facing some challenges at work recently, and you know he always tends to avoid problems. As his wife, it's my responsibility to handle some of these practical matters so the family's well-being isn't affected.

"He keeps running from the company issues. If I don't step in, are we really just supposed to sit back and watch our family fall apart?" Wendy's words left Brenda stunned. She hadn't expected her to respond this way.
