However, Harold abruptly stopped when he reached the part where he retired due to the Five-Year Agreement.
Wrenna, who was interested, instantly asked about what happened next.
“I haven't thought about it yet. I'd tell you once I've thought about it,” said Harold as he shrugged.
“Okay. Why don't you head back and rest first? You still have work tomorrow,” said Wrenna with slight disappointment.
“I'm worried that Char would cry if she doesn't see me when she wakes up. I'll stay here and keep her company tonight. In the meantime, I would like to apply for two days' leave,” said Harold after much thought.
He planned to summon Samuel over the next day. As such, he needed to take the day off so he could go and fetch him.
Harold had thought that Wrenna would not hesitate to agree since he wanted to take a leave for the sake of her daughter.
However, things did not turn out like how he expected them to. Wrenna rejected Harold's request without much pondering.
“No, I would not approve the leave application. Recently, there had been too much work at the company, and we don't have enough manpower. Please don't cause me any trouble,” Wrenna said firmly.
Harold's lips twitched after hearing what she had said.
No wonder my colleagues call her a cold-hearted supervisor. Knowing that her daughter did not have much time left, she herself still refused to take leaves to spend time with her daughter. Moreover, she even objected to others taking a leave to accompany her daughter. She's indeed cold-hearted and ruthless!
“Fine. I'm going to ask Mr. Quinn for permission instead!” Harold said, wearing the same indifferent expression as Wrenna. He would not submit obediently.
After finishing his sentence, he sent Steven a WhatsApp message.
Without asking questions, Steven approved of his leave.
“Look. Mr. Quinn had already approved of my leave,” said Harold, showing Wrenna his phone.
“You... What is your relationship with Mr. Quinn?” Wrenna was livid that Harold had asked for a leave from someone ranked higher than her.
Apparently, Harold did not respect her as his supervisor.
She wanted to yell at him out of rage, but they were still in the hospital. Thus, she could only suppress her anger.
After she had calmed down, she realized that Harold seemed to have a close relationship with the higher-ups of the company.
Even though he was absent from work for more than ten days without a proper reason, the company did not fire him. He had just returned to work one day ago, yet the leave he applied for had been approved by the manager without hesitation. The manager didn't even ask about the reason he applied for a leave.
If it weren't for the fact that Harold looked nothing like the boss, I would have suspected that he was the boss' illegitimate child.
“What do you think?” Harold asked mysteriously. Afterward, he went out to make a call.
Looking at Harold's silhouette as he left the room, Wrenna stomped her foot in annoyance like a little girl.
A few seconds later, the angry look on her face disappeared and was replaced by a look of gratitude.
Her impression of Harold had changed.
After Harold told Samuel about Charlotte's condition, Samuel was unconcerned.
Samuel said that if Harold used the acupuncture technique he'd taught him on Charlotte and fed her some of his herbal medicine, she would recover and her illness would never relapse.
Harold spoke to Samuel for about an hour as the latter informed him of the things he needed to be aware of.
Recently, Wrenna must have been under a lot of stress.
When Harold returned to the ward, she was already fast asleep.
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Harold noticed that her eyebrows were tightly knitted even when she was asleep. It seemed like she was having nightmares.
Harold couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Not only did she have to work, but she also had a sick child to take care of. It must be so difficult for her.
