Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0496

The hospital doors opened and closed again. Beth cut off everything behind her, her steps noticeably lighter.

The lingering pain in her legs made her feel like they had never healed, but today she could finally tell herself she was well again.

She walked toward Nicholas's car but found she couldn't pull the door open. She moved to the driver's side, tapping on the window. However, the driver remained silent.

Suddenly, Beth seemed to realize something. She stepped to the side of the road, deciding not to get in the car.

Inside the car, the atmosphere was heavy. Nicholas propped his head up with one hand, his mood at its lowest.

The window slowly rolled down. He opened his eyes and coldly stared at Beth.

His chilling voice drifted from the car. "How long have you worked for me?"

"I've been by your side since you joined Hawk Corporation, a total of 14 years," Beth lowered her eyes and answered respectfully.

"Your leg became like this because of me, so I won't hold it against you. Send me your transfer application tomorrow. You'll be reassigned to a branch office. The benefits will remain the same."
