I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Reginald put the letters back into the box. These were mementos left by his parents, and he treasured them dearly. After tidying up, Reginald left the house. Since Terrence had already found his hideout, he couldn’t sit still either.

As he stepped out, he ran into Julian. Reginald said, “Julian, you mentioned your son was injured and hospitalized. I’ve been back for a while but haven’t visited him yet. I’d like to see him.”

“No problem,” Julian replied. “I was just planning to go to the hospital. Meredith has been taking care of him alone; it’s been tough on her.” Although they had hired a caregiver, Meredith stayed at the hospital at night because she knew Terrence didn’t like others being close to him, especially women. He had become psychologically sensitive due to Joy Chaucer. So, Meredith spent most of her time at the hospital.

Reginald and Julian went to the hospital together. Terrence had just returned to the hospital, and Harvey had left to avoid exposure. Terrence planned to take a nap but heard footsteps and looked in their direction.

“Son, it’s me,” Julian said with a smile as he walked in. “Meredith isn’t here.”

“Meredith went to the company,” Terrence replied, hearing two sets of footsteps. “Dad, who did you come with?”

“Son, your ears are sharp,” Julian laughed. “Your Uncle Reginald came with me. He heard you were injured and hospitalized and came specifically to see you. You were only two years old when Uncle Reginald left home; you probably don’t remember him.”

Hearing that Reginald was there, Terrence felt more certain about his suspicions. He had just visited Reginald’s residence in Auroraville, and now Reginald was here-remarkably fast.

Terrence greeted calmly, “Uncle Reginald.”

“It’s been thirty years since we last met; you’ve grown so much,” Reginald said with a sigh. “What happened to your eyes?” He asked knowingly.

“A car accident,” Julian explained. “He’s waiting for surgery.”

“I see,” Reginald said regretfully. “You’re such a talented young man; I heard Mom raised you herself. She must be heartbroken over your injury.”

Julian sighed, “Indeed, Mom can’t eat or sleep well and tears up whenever she mentions Terry. But with modern medicine, Terry’s eyes will surely recover.”

“Absolutely, they will,” Reginald said as he stepped forward and placed a hand on Terrence’s shoulder in a caring manner. “Take good care of yourself; you’re still young. Don’t worry too much. By the way, Rowan is adorable; she looks just like you when you were little.”

Hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Terrence’s eyes. He understood that Reginald was threatening him using his daughter.

Terrence clenched his fist secretly but then slowly relaxed it, smiling slightly, “Uncle Reginald, I’ve often heard my dad mention you over the years. It’s been thirty years; you’re finally back. Have you visited Uncle Mason in prison? Before he went in, he mentioned you to me.”

Terrence was also using Mason Sterling to warn Reginald that anyone who dared harm the Sterling family would be dealt with just like Mason.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Julian didn’t understand their underlying messages and was curious why they suddenly brought up Mason Sterling.

Reginald patted Terrence’s shoulder lightly and smiled, “I haven’t had a chance to visit him yet. Take good care of yourself.”

“Thank you for your concern, Uncle Reginald,” Terrence said smoothly. “I’ll make sure to recover my sight soon.”

“That’s good,” Reginald replied casually.

After spending a short time in the ward, Reginald left. From their brief conversation, Reginald deduced that Terrence was suspicious of his identity.

He thought Terrence was a promising young man but born into the wrong family.

When Meredith returned from work at the company, Reginald had already left. Seeing gifts on the table, she asked Terrence, “Who visited today?”

“Uncle Reginald,” Terrence replied. “Meredith, I miss our daughter. Could you bring her here?”

“Now?” Meredith hesitated as it was getting dark and suggested, “How about I bring her tomorrow?”

“Call Mom and ask her to bring her over,” Terrence said gently. “I haven’t seen our daughter for too long; I want to hold her.”

Without thinking much about it, Meredith smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll call Mom.”
