A Contract Marriage With My Boss novel Chapter 52

"You said my dad is ok?" Charles inquired.

"Don't you want me to be ok?" Mrs. Thomas snapped.

Charles didn't respond but looked at Sarah, who was also surprised because he had been very sick before.

Mrs. Thomas sighed. "Alas, the doctor says that it was just a relapse, the heart attack. He got too excited at your wedding, and something went wrong, but now after a few days of rest, he will be ok. If he takes his medicine on time and avoids strong emotions, he will be ok."

"When can he leave the hospital?" Sarah asked.

Mrs. Thomas rolled her eyes at Sarah and said to Charles. "Don't leave him alone over the following days, you should take good care of your father." Then she turned around and walked away. Emma stood beside them, and without saying anything, she followed Mrs. Thomas.

Mrs. Thomas didn't want them to go on their honeymoon. Charles understood what she meant and was annoyed, but Sarah, who was holding his hand, said. "It seems like we can't go anywhere. Let's cancel the tickets and hotel reservations. We can't go on our honeymoon, so let's stay home and take care of your dad."

Grabbing her hand, Charles responded. "How can I cancel our honeymoon? After the wedding, you have been busy with so many things, we haven't even had a chance yet to enjoy our marriage. It's not fair to you to cancel our honeymoon."

"I'm ok, Charles. Maybe it's just the wrong time. After all, we can be on our honeymoon anywhere as long as we stay together."

"Didn't you always want to go to the Maldives? This was your dream. I promised to come with you. Instead of canceling, let's just postpone the trip until my father recovers." Charles tried to persuade her.

Sarah smiled and shook her head, "No, it's really fine. When your dad gets better, you'll oversee the company. You can't stay idle all that time, and it's not good for the company. No matter where we are, just staying with you will make me happy."

"Well, I can't persuade you, but since we got married, you've always accommodated my mother and to me, I feel so sorry for you."

Sarah just shook her head, smiling, indicating that she was ok.

Emma was calling them from a distance, saying that Charles' dad had woken up and wanted to see them. Sarah was pleased and pulled Charles to the ward.

Mr. Thomas didn't say much, just engaged in some small talk with them.

After a while, Mrs. Thomas and Emma had to go back. Emma took care of the formalities as Mrs. Thomas needed to go home, but there was only one driver. Thus, Charles let the driver send Mrs. Thomas home, and he drove Emma.

Sarah didn't say anything, just reminded them to be careful on their way. She stayed at the hospital with Mr. Thomas, who spoke to her. "You must be tired these days after you married Charles, so many things needed your help. I'm sorry."

"Dad, don't say that," Sarah responded as she cut an apple for him to eat.

"Sometimes, I really feel you are my daughter, a part of our family," said Mr. Thomas.
