Semua Bab He Sent Me Away for Three Years. Now My Divorce Has Him Panicking.: Bab 61 - Bab 70

But things were different now.She had already submitted her resignation.Sooner or later, these projects would have to be handed over to someone else.If they wanted to take them from her now, then fine. It only meant she would be free of them sooner.Of course, letting go still hurt.But some things were always going to end this way, and all she could do was learn to accept it.*Meanwhile, Yvonne was sitting on his lap in James’s office.“Do you really think Nina will be scared if we do this?” she asked.“Of course,” James said, full of confidence. “Those projects are like her children. She poured years of blood, sweat, and tears into them. She won’t be able to let them go.“It won’t be long before she comes begging me to give them back to her. When that happens, you can make your own demands and finally vent some of that anger.”“What if she doesn’t come?”“Then even better. We’ll use this chance to cut her out completely. The work she does isn’t that difficult anyway,

Nina stayed with Megan through dinner, then chatted with her for a while afterward.As they talked, the conversation eventually turned to Nina.Nina had been back for quite some time. Megan was worried about affecting her work, so she asked when Nina planned to return to Harbor City.Nina still didn’t want her to know about the resignation or the divorce, so she didn’t answer directly.“We’ll talk about it later. At the very least, I should wait until you recover and get discharged, right?”“My discharge is still a long way off,” Megan said, not taking her words seriously. “The doctor said my illness still depends on how the next rounds of chemo go, and whether the transplant works out. None of that can be decided anytime soon.”Then she added, “But judging from how I’m doing right now, you don’t have to worry too much. I should be fine. And even if you go back to Harbor City, it’s all right. The doctors and nurses here are very responsible. I can manage on my own.”“What? You d

Nina hadn’t expected that to be the reason.For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.She had only spoken to Daniel on the phone once, yet he had been able to tell that she was sick. He had even gone through the trouble of sending her so much medicine.It would be a lie to say she wasn’t touched.“Thank you,” Nina said sincerely. “I’m sorry you went to so much trouble.”“It’s nothing. Really, it’s nothing. Please don’t mention it,” Daniel said quickly.But he felt guilty accepting her thanks.After all, he hadn’t been the first one to notice that she was sick.He hadn’t been the one who suggested sending her medicine either.Taking credit for someone else’s thoughtfulness made him feel uneasy.So he quickly changed the subject.“They’re all common medicines. They’re useful to keep around. If you run out, just let me know.”“Okay,” Nina said.After a pause, she suddenly remembered something else.“Oh, right. Did you put the wrong phone number on the shipping label? I call

As for James, he was currently in his office discussing the same matter with Yvonne.Yvonne poured him a cup of coffee and deliberately tested the waters first.“It has already been a few days. After the news about the project handover went out, the clients don’t seem to have had much of a reaction.”James took a sip and said coldly, “I almost let Nina fool me before. I really thought she mattered that much to the clients. But now that she has been replaced, the clients haven’t said a word.”His tone grew even more dismissive.“Things are even better without her. It makes no difference whether she is there or not.”To be honest, when James first removed Nina from the projects, he had been a little worried.He had worried that the clients might object, especially Mendel Biotech.Mendel was Gibson Corporation’s biggest client in Harbor City, and they had enormous influence not only across the country, but globally as well.Their CEO, in particular, was rumored to be a major powe

Only then did Megan finally understand why James had never once come to visit her, even though she had been sick for so long.She had asked Nina about him several times, but Nina had never given her a real answer.So that was why.It wasn’t that Nina had been deliberately hiding things from her.It wasn’t that Nina didn’t want to tell her either.It was that she simply had no way to say it.Megan couldn’t even imagine how much Nina had been carrying on her own.Her daughter had always been like this.No matter what happened, she would quietly endure it by herself and never trouble anyone else.When Megan first brought Nina home, Nina had been less than a year old. Even back then, that part of her personality had already started to show.When she was hungry, she never cried.She would only stare at Megan with those big eyes.At night, she never made a fuss either. She let Megan sleep through the night.Sometimes, even when she woke up early in the morning, she wouldn’t dist
