A Contract Marriage With My Boss novel Chapter 121

“Um… ” Sarah wanted to explain that she couldn't give it to him but was unable to find the words when she saw how much he liked it and decided not to say anything. Charles hadn't seen the tie yet after all, and Daniel didn't know where the tie came from, so there would be no problem, given that she was the only one who knew the real story behind it. Nothing would happen if she herself didn’t say anything.

Daniel looked at Sarah’s gift with great happiness. After looking at it carefully for a while, he said, “The tie is wonderful. Zegna is a big international brand; this tie must be at least around one thousand dollars. How can you say that it is not good? I’ll give you something in return later!”

“Ah… There's no need to give me anything in return, really.” She quickly refused.

But Daniel remained firm. “No, I must. As the saying goes, ‘Give peaches in return for a plum.’ I have to give you in return!” Daniel was actually just looking for an excuse to give her a present. He wanted Sarah to have one thing given by him.

Sarah noticed how stubborn he was and didn’t refuse any longer. They drove back to the hospital, unaware of how many problems they would get into in the future because of this tie.

Though the restaurant was not that far away, they spent half an hour driving back to the hospital because of traffic. Sarah was afraid that Mr. Thomas would be waiting for her and that he'd be hungry, and went quickly upstairs after getting out of the car when she unexpectedly heard Daniel yell behind her. “Little girl!”

Sarah looked back in amazement because Daniel had not called her that for a long time. He had always called her “little girl” back in the days when they had been little.. Unexpectedly, he called her that again now. She turned around and looked at him.

Daniel laughed and said, “Thank you for your gift. I’ll wear it to work tomorrow!”

Daniel smiled at her. “Thanks for your gift. I will wear it tomorrow!”

Sarah smiled and waved at him before she hurried to bring the food to Mr. Thomas. Unexpectedly, she found the door to his room wide open, and Mr. Thomas was nowhere to be seen. Knowing that Mr. Thomas was too weak to get out of the bed, Sarah didn’t know where to look for him. Placing the food on the table, she was about to look for him when a nurse came in and confronted her. “Where were you all this time? We looked everywhere for you. While you were out, Mr. Thomas suffered another heart attack; he's in the operating room right now!”

Sarah felt like someone was hitting her on her head. She stared at the nurse in shock. Not wanting it to be true, she asked bewildered. “What?” and rushed to the operating room without giving the nurse time to answer. Running, she shouted, “Dad!” but when she reached the room, the door was closed, and the doctors were busy trying to save Mr. Thomas's life. Sarah was at a loss at what to do. She knocked on the door in desperation and called out to him. “Dad, dad!”
