Hope It's Not Too Late to Love

chapter-162

Hanson’s family was quite complex.

His father only had a brother, so that was Hanson’s only uncle.

However, his uncle was lacking in capability despite his humongous greed.

When Hanson’s grandfather was on his deathbed, he passed the company to Hanson’s father, Scott Luke, right away.

Scott was an outstanding man, and Luke Corporation grew in proportion under his leadership.

However, Hanson’s uncle wasn’t willing to be just a subordinate. He ignited various internal wars for power so that he could get rid of them once and for all.

In the end, he failed. His only legacy was his only son, Eddie Luke, who he sent overseas and was never heard of again.

After that, the company was passed to Hanson, and it grew even more rapidly to a position of immovable power.

However, the elderly people his uncle sent all looked down on him and always made things difficult for him.

Hanson would sometimes work continuous days without sleeping, and he often got into trouble. There was once when he was accidentally poisoned, so his stomach was affected as a result.

Even the incident from five years ago was probably the work of those people.

When it came to his diet, save for his already picky palate, he had to be extra careful of what he ingested.

Hanson never thought that one bite of spicy barbecue would have such serious implications.

As he listened to April nag, he couldn’t help but frown coldly. “You seem to be very talkative today.” NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Even though he was ill, his powerful aura remained.

April, who was usually scared of him, was fearless today. After all, Hanson was ill, so what could he possibly do?

April ignored his threats and looked toward Larry. “You’re supposed to look after him, aren’t you? You should’ve reminded him when you saw him eating things he shouldn’t eat.”

Larry sighed. “Mr. Sonnet, I’m innocent. I wasn’t with him today, and he—”

Before Larry could finish, Hanson gave him a warning cough. Larry was so scared that he trembled.

In his excitement, he seemed to have hinted at something that was meant to be a secret. He hastily shut up in fear that his pay would be reduced to nothing.

Hearing that, April’s curiosity was immediately piqued.

He almost forgot that they weren’t two lonely single men sticking together anymore.

After all, Hanson had his eyes on a woman.

April said jokingly, “Oh, seems like you were with your Mrs. Luke. No wonder you couldn’t hold it in.”

Then, he leaned toward Hanson’s ear and said, intrigued, “You had dinner with her today, eh? Did anything else happen?”

As he spoke, his gaze trailed down Hanson’s body. “This time, did you—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Hanson’s glare scared him into silence. “You don’t want to work here at all, do you?”

April rubbed his nose awkwardly and raised his hands to surrender. “Hah, why would I not want to work here? Also, if I were fired, who would treat you when you get sick? I’m just concerned about you, alright? I want to give you some ideas so that you can get together with Mrs. Luke sooner.”

This man who had been single all his life definitely didn’t know how to court a girl.

Hanson gritted his teeth. “Are you a doctor or a relationship expert? Just treat my sickness.”

“Okay.” April immediately stopped smiling and raised the syringe in his hand, ready to plunge it through Hanson’s skin.

Hanson immediately stopped him. “Are you trying to kill me so that you can get my money? Get another doctor here.”

April hated it when this guy doubted his expertise. He was immediately sullen. “Oh, now you don’t trust my skills? No matter your wishes, you’re stuck with me, so deal with it.”
