The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Listening to Ronald’s spiel, Vivienne felt a sting of insult to her intelligence.

Carl had a hematoma in his head?

And it was scattered by a bump?

Did they really think she would not know if there was a hematoma?

Vivienne downed the remnants of her wine, “Hand over Carl’s rehab center address to me. I’ll visit him after this busy spell is over. I can’t let Faye turn into a widow, can I?”

Ronald looked at Vivienne, “Vivienne, I truly regret bothering you with this, asking you to go all that way…”

“Cut the nonsense, hand it over.” Vivienne was visibly irked.

And to think she assumed Carl fell into a vegetative state for some grave reason, only to find out it was a mere bump on the head.

A hematoma, really? After the surgery she had performed, how could there possibly be a hematoma left in Carl’s head?

Seeing Vivienne’s genuine anger, Ronald quickly sent Carl’s rehab center address to her, “Carl is stable now, and he’s got professional caretakers there. You don’t have to worry.”

“Alright, you guys carry on. I’m heading out.” Vivienne was tired and, after a short farewell, went to find Percival for the ride home.

Darren and Ashley escorted Vivienne and her companion out.

“Boss, my mom said she’s with my dad hosting guests, so they can’t see you out. But she wanted me to give you this; she noticed you didn’t eat much tonight. Have something to fill you up on the way home.”

Darren now addressed Vivienne as Boss.

Darren handed over a bag filled with food lovingly prepared by Melissa.

“Thank Auntie for me,” Vivienne said, taking the bag.

Then, Darren handed her an invitation, “But boss, looks like you owe a gift.”

Vivienne looked at the invitation in surprise. “You’re getting married? Did you notify the company? Who’s the bride? Are there any clauses in your latest contract requiring you to stay single? If you cost me a dime, I swear I’ll wring your neck!”
