"It's not about money," Absalom says, "She hates me for abandoning them."
Meghan complains, "Why? You divorced her mother due to you didn't like her anymore. Besides, you are her father, and Tokuo is her half-brother."
"She refuses to help me," Absalom is anxious, "My another daughter is filming abroad. I can't look for her as I don't know exactly where she is."
"I won't beg her, if Tokuo is not in danger."
"Unfortunately, I can't help Tokuo." Meghan gives Tokuo a sympathetic look. If she is a bone marrow match for Tokuo, Absalom don't have to beg his daughter with his ex-wife.
Considering for a while, Meghan continues, "How about taking her to the hospital directly? You can give her more compensation after the operation."
Absalom frowns, "It's not a good idea."
"What's wrong?" Meghan's mouth twitches, "She is your daughter and Tokuo's sister. You can leave it to me."
"Let me think it over."
Absalom is in a dilemma, as both Lily and Tokuo are his children. After divorce, he has been feeling indebted to Lily and other kids as well.
Hearing his words, Meghan says diplomatically.
"As my aunt is in poor health, Tokuo is her only child and her greatest treasure. My father's company needs Tokuo as well."
"I know."
After finishing dinner, they have a chat.
As it is getting dark, Meghan drives them to the hospital and helps Tokuo transfer to a private ward.
"Meghan, why did you come to Country Z?" Absalom asks. Since he has no business with Country Z, he is not familiar with the Smith Group, "Why did you change your surname?"
Meghan replies, "I get a higher salary and I'm able to learn more working in a large company. In fact, I don't change my surname. For convenience, I changed my entry document while being hired."
"Which group?"
"The Smith Group."
"That's good," Absalom knows it as Lily also works for the Smith Group, "I heard that it is the largest company in Yorkshire."
"It's different now," Meghan says, "All the branches are in a mess, and it's stock has slumped by the daily limit of 10%. Olivia has replaced Louis as leader."
As an experienced businessman, Absalom immediately asks, "Is there any internal conflict in the company? How about going home with us? You father misses you."
"You can help him," Meghan smiles, "I'm young, and I want to learn more on my own."
Absalom stops persuading her.
When Meghan is about to leave after leading Absalom and Tokuo to the private ward, she sees a familiar girl on Tokuo's mobile wallpaper, "Do you like Chloe?"
"Do you know her?" Tokuo turns to Meghan. He used to be quiet, however, his eyes light up when hearing Chloe.
"Yes, she is my boss's sister."
"Really?" Tokuo is excited, "She is beautiful. I'm a big fan of her. I've watched all of her works! I heard she is in Yorkshire as well."
Meghan ruffles his hair and smiles, "She is in Yorkshire now. If you like her, I'll bring you to meet her when you feel better."
