Chapter 441

Patricia was fretting that Daniel would just wind up getting all worked up again if Sophia came over, and Brandon had warned them more than once not to bother Daniel. She couldn't help but give him a piece of advice.

"Yvonne's got a point, you know. Just chill and focus on getting better. Don't sweat the small stuff. Once you're back on your feet, you'll have all the time in the world. No need to rush it."

"But by then, my words won't pack the same punch." Daniel cut her off, "You know what Brandon's like."

Patricia was speechless.

Daniel looked at Yvonne, "You handle it."

"Uh?" Yvonne hesitated, still trying to reason with him, "Dad, your health should come first."

"I know my own body." Daniel said, cutting her off with authority, "Just arrange it, and make sure your brother doesn't find out."
