Chapter 179- he’s back
"No, no, it’s fine. Let’s just go back to the company!" Janice quickly waved her hand. Seeing how tense Charles was, she thought that if it had been up to him, even something minor would’ve been blown out of proportion.
Still, under Charles’ firm insistence, Janice was taken to the hospital for a thorough brain scan. The doctor confirmed the blood clots in her brain had been completely cleared a year ago. The only issue was some damage to the optic nerves. With multiple surgeries and proper care, it wouldn’t affect her anymore.
Hearing the doctor’s assurance, the weight hanging over Charles’ heart finally lifted.
"Feeling better now?" Janice pushed him gently as they walked out of the hospital, her heart overflowing with sweetness.
"I’m sorry. I know you’ve suffered so much this past year, Janice. Thank you for coming back to me," Charles said softly. No matter what changes she’d gone through, she was still the woman he loved—the one he wanted to cherish for life. The past year hadn’t been easy for either of them, but even without him by her side, she had endured.
"Charles, we won’t be apart again. I promise you," Janice stopped and looked up at him, placing her small hand firmly in his palm. This time, their hands intertwined meant no more goodbyes.
Back at Amos’s side in the company, Charles appreciated Janice more than ever. But before she could get used to her new work, Charles summoned her to his office.
"Boss, you called for me?" Janice knocked and stepped inside. Charles sat composed on the sofa, eyes sharp as they landed on her. Usually, at work, they called each other by name, but seeing him so serious, Janice felt a little unsure how to respond.
"Why did you refuse when I asked you to come work right by me?" Charles raised a brow and patted the seat beside him, beckoning her over. Janice hesitated briefly, then obediently walked toward him.
"Don’t you already have a secretary?" Janice met his gaze bravely. When she returned, Charles hadn’t acknowledged her presence, acting as if nothing had happened. Though everyone at the company knew she was the boss’s wife, and she had been his secretary before, Charles hadn’t made any immediate moves to reinstate her. Now, two days later, he suddenly called her over again, which annoyed her.
