Chapter 242 About Your Father
Christopher had been guarding Yuliana in the hospital these days and had not left.
In the afternoon, Kendrick called Christopher and asked him to go to the company.
Yuliana would be discharged from the hospital the next day.
Joyce asked Yuliana if the latter wanted to go to the postpartum care center or hire a professional maternity matron. Yuliana thought it was better to stay at her own home as it would be more convenient. Hence, she decided to hire a maternity matron.
Joyce executed the task quickly. In the afternoon, she sent some information about a few maternity matrons to Yuliana and asked the latter to pick.
Yuliana skimmed through the information and found all maternity matrons were experienced and professional. They were extremely reliable based on their resumes.
Joyce asked her to pick two maternity matrons. However, Yuliana only chose one.
Yuliana was not used to having too many people in the house. Besides, Rowan would be in the hospital for a month, and she was the only one who needed to be taken care of. Hence, having Hailey alone would be sufficient. However, Hailey was not a professional maternity matron..
Yuliana was responding to Joyce when she heard Hailey ask, “Who are you looking for?”
Yuliana looked up and saw Harry coming in with a fruit basket. Their gazes met for two seconds, and then she glanced at the fruit basket. All the fruits were those she often bought.
Perhaps, she knew Harry too well. Hence, Yuliana immediately guessed why he was there when he showed
1.
Harry withdrew his gaze and looked at Hailey in front of him. He said, “Yuliana and I know each other. I was nearby, so I came to visit her.”
Hailey stared at him thoughtfully when she heard this and then looked at Yuliana.
Hailey assumed they did know each other, judging from Yuliana’s reaction.
Hailey smiled and said, “My apologies. I hadn’t seen you before and thought you were in the wrong place. Please come in!”
Harry nodded and handed the fruit basket to Hailey.
Hailey put down the fruit basket while she told Harry to sit down. Then she poured a glass of water for him.
Yuliana sat on the bed and texted Joyce back.
After responding to Joyce’s message, Yuliana looked up at Harry. She pursed her lips slightly and said in a low voice, “If you’re here on Margaret’s behalf, I advise you not to say anything.”
Perhaps, many people would think Yuliana was a gentle and kind person.
However, Harry knew that she was gentle and kind when it came to things that she did not care about. She would not give in if it were something that she cared about a lot.
Hailey excused herself and went out after knowing they had something to discuss.
Harry smiled faintly. However, it was probably because his eyes were cold that it made his smile look a little stiff. “Yuliana, did you really love me so much back then?”
If she had really loved him back then, she would not have allowed other women to stay around him. Yuliana was stunned for a moment and did not answer Harry’s question Instead, she asked rhetorically, “Are you trying to guilt-trip me with our past relationship because I don’t want to let Margaret go?” She glanced at him and added, “Harry, this doesn’t seem like something you would usually do.”
Harry lowered his gaze and fell silent for a while. When he looked up at Yuliana again, he was back to his cold self. “I’m here to offer you a deal. Let go of Margaret, and I’ll tell you a secret.”
Yuliana frowned and looked at Harry in silence. However, her pursed lips betrayed her real emotions.
If Harry were not confiderit that she would care about the secret he said, he would not have used it in exchange for Margaret’s freedom.
Yuliana fell silent for a moment. However, in the end, she could not help but ask, “What is it?”
Harry’s expression remained unchanged. His eyes were still cold and calm. Yet, they exuded confidence. “Is this a deal then?”
Yuliana lowered her eyes to hide her emotions. “You didn’t say what it is. How would I know if it’s worth it?”
“It’s about your father,” Harry replied.
Yuliana’s eyes trembled, and she suddenly looked up at him.
Meanwhile, in Solace Corporation, Christopher pushed open the door of Kendrick’s office and saw that Zavier and Zaiden were already there.
The three of them looked at the door simultaneously upon seeing Christopher entering.
“Zavier. Zaiden, Christopher greeted.
Zavier smiled and asked, “Chris, how’s Yuliana? When will she and the baby be discharged from the hospital?”
The second and third branches of the Solace family only found out about the news of Yuliana’s accident in the past two days. They only got the information from Kendrick and Joyce and have not had time to visit. Yuliana at the hospital.
The baby was born prematurely, and he was still in the incubator. Hence, they would not be able to see him. The two families had planned to celebrate the baby’s birth when the baby was discharged from the hospital.
Christopher replied with a smile, “Thank you for your concern, Zavier. Yuliana will be discharged tomorrow, but the baby has to stay in the hospital for a while.”
Zavier and Zaiden advised Christopher to take good care of Yuliana before leaving Kendrick’s office. Christopher sat down, casually took a pen, and fiddled with it. Then, he looked up and asked, “What’s the office?” matter? What is so important that you can’t tell me over the phone and need me to come to your Kendrick did not answer his question. Instead, he picked up a document in front of him and handed it to Christopher.
Christopher stared at the blue cover of the document for a while before he took it and opened it. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
He flipped through a few pages and knew what it was. He frowned and said, “Hasn’t this project been on hold. for many years?”
Kendrick got up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the high-rise buildings in the distance. “You’re right. This project has been on hold for many years, and now there is a chance to restart it.”
It was not a big project. However, according to Juxshire’s future planning, the subsequent profits would be immeasurable if the project was completed.
Kendrick was not in a hurry to start the project previously as there was still time. On the other hand, with the capability of Solace Corporation at that time, the project would not impact the company that much. However, Solace Corporation now needed a project with low investment and high return, and the timing was just right. Christopher threw the document back onto the desk and asked, “What does this have to do with me?”
Kendrick was silent for a while before finally saying, “Harry looked for me.”
