Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 1405

After seeing off her uncle, Beryl just pulled up a chair and sat by her father's bedside when Wallis, busy with paperwork, happened to come back.

She looked over and greeted obediently, "Mom."

"You're here." Wallis collected the various paper documents in her hands and put them into her bag. "Your father was uncomfortable last night. He didn't sleep much. Fortunately, it's a private room; otherwise, he would have been more restless."

Listening, Beryl felt deeply distressed; at Amir's age, he couldn't withstand such suffering.

Wallis looked at her daughter's expression, seeing no signs of suspicion, and walked over, asking in a low voice, "Beryl, I know it's difficult to get a private room in the public hospital in Jewel City. Did the friend who came with you yesterday use his connections to help arrange it for us?"

The Juliet family had no relatives or friends in Jewel City, and the only person who had come after Amir's accident was Marcellus.

Caught off guard, Beryl felt a little uneasy but still chose to conceal the truth. "Mom, he just happened to have a friend working at this hospital."

"I don't think he looks like a student or an ordinary citizen. What does he do for a living?" Wallis probed, still concerned about her daughter.

This question caught Beryl off guard. She knew her family would ask about Marcellus, but she didn't expect it to happen so suddenly.

For a moment, she stumbled in her response, "He... He has a regular job. I used to work in his company, so we know each other a bit. Maybe he thought my situation was urgent, so he helped me. He's a caring person."

Speaking of "caring," Beryl felt guilty herself and involuntarily lowered her voice, knowing very well that Marcellus, with his personality, was far from being caring.
