A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 513

Lance glanced at Calliope, then at Hudson. He nodded, trying to sound businesslike. “Yeah, bro, I’ll take care of the office today. You stay home and get some proper rest. Let Callie give you a thorough checkup, all right?”

“Honestly, you haven’t looked great lately. You really do need a checkup. Last week I even had a nightmare—you got some awful disease or something!” he blurted out, shuddering a little. “It’s gotta be all that stress.”

“From now on, we’ll take turns at work. You don’t have to shoulder everything yourself. I can handle it too, you know.”

Lance looked genuinely worried, his eyes wide.

Remembering his dream, he shook his head hard, then spat over his shoulder, as if to ward off bad luck. “No way something like that would happen to you. That dream was just my brain playing tricks on me! How could I even have a dream like that? I must be losing it.”

“Seriously, man, when you keep refusing treatment, it gives me anxiety issues!” He spoke while munching on scrambled eggs, “Today, you’re off duty. Turn your phone off, let everyone at the office call me if they need anything.”

Hudson watched Lance fuss, and couldn’t help giving a quiet sigh.

“I’m fine, really. And I thought you hated handling the company stuff?”

“I do,” Lance shot back, “but if it’s for you, that’s different! You’re the most important person in my life. I can’t lose you, okay?”

He tried to grin at Hudson, looking both brave and a little desperate. “Don’t worry about anything. I don’t like running things, but I’m not useless—I can handle it. Don’t underestimate me!”

Hudson nodded. “That’s good. You’ll have to learn to run things eventually. I can help you for a while, but I can’t do it forever.”

Lance’s face fell. He scowled at Hudson, clearly not liking the sound of that.

“What do you mean, not forever?” he protested. “You promised you’d always have my back! I’ll always need you. Don’t you dare try to sneak out of this!”
