Lie Flat, Sugar Daddy novel Chapter 18

He just didn’t expect that Jensen Knight, who was always decent, would allow something like this to happen.

Didn’t need to think, it must have been incited by this seductive woman.

Maybe this seductive woman knew his daughter was coming and deliberately made this happened. This was a challenge to their dignity!

Zain thought and his anger was fuming up.

“Dad, dad!” Karina shouted a few times. She had been talking for so long, but her father hadn’t responded at all.

Zain put down the curtain and looked at Karina with gentleness, “What’s wrong my baby?”

“I’ve said so much just now, and you weren’t listening? I was saying that Jensen isn’t usually like this, so don’t get angry with him, dad. And don’t be so impulsive in the future too, otherwise it’ll be a hard time for me facing Jensen later.” Karina said while both of her hands held Zain’s arm and rubbed her head against his shoulder, looking much like a happy little girl.

Hearing that Karina was still favoring Jensen, the rage in Zain’s heart was even more fierce and out of control.

That seductive woman…

He remembered her!

…

After Rae left Knight Group, she didn’t want to go back to the company yet. Since there’s a group of young and handsome guys with good ability in the company, nothing would go wrong. After thinking for a while, she realized that she hadn’t see her dad in the hospital for a long time, so Rae took a taxi and headed to a private hospital. Since Heath had been living here for some years, the medical staff were familiar with Rae to the point that they greeted her when they saw her. Rae held a bunch of sunflowers she just bought downstairs, nodded at everyone and quickly arrived at a door of a senior ward.

Rae pushed open the door, and there was no trace of the smell of disinfectants. The walls of the room were light pink, the bed covers and sheets were printed with cartoon zoo patterns, and not just icy cold white colors. These were the changes Rae requested at the beginning, she didn’t want her father to lie in a place without warmth all day. Of course, all this was changed after Jensen donated a dozen of advanced testing equipment to the hospital.

“Dad It’s me, Rae. I bought you sunflowers.I miss you so much...See those flowers? You’re the sun to me. I was brought up beneath your sunshine, without you, the lively, cheerful and lovely Rae would not exist today…” Rae murmured and walked to throw away the flowers beside the bedhead that nurse had put in today and placed the sunflowers inside. After getting it done, she dusted her hands and went in closer to look at Heath’s face, only to see his eyes tightly closed and his eyes were moving under his eyelids. Looking at the only movement over his entire body, Rae smiled, “Dad, I know you must nag me again, that I should be modest.like Rae, even if you’re really lively, cheerful and lovely, do not boast about your merits, otherwise someone will be jealous and take away everything you have someday…”

Take away everything she had.

The pretended smile on Rae’s face twitched when she said that. She knew she was really to the point.

She always felt that her father could feel everything, so even if his eyes were closed, she had to pretend to be happy from the moment she stepped into the hospital. But she wasn’t happy at all, every time she saw her father lying quietly on bed, there was only hatred in her heart. She hated Stanley who was now merry and happy, owning a listed company and getting praised by people. Why did her father suffer this kind of fate in return though he was diligent for his whole life, nice and kind? Not only that, though he was lying numbly on bed today, he was used by some unscrupulous journalists as a cautionary tale and was scolded endlessly. The comments below were even more evil.

“Don’t worry, dad. I’ve already found someone to help me, you won’t lie down in vain. I’ll drag someone down to accompany you.” After Rae finished saying that, she noticed that Heath’s eyes were moving significantly faster, and the heartbeat monitoring device on the side also measured fluctuations. She knew it was her father blaming her for having such evil thoughts. Rae held Heath’s hand, “Don’t be angry, dad. There are some things that I must do, not for you but for myself. Otherwise, I can hardly be happy in this life.”

Then for that whole afternoon, Rae had sat in the hospital and chattered to Heath about her recent events, about the company, herself and Eric.

Rae received a phone call from Jensen in the evening. He asked her to attend a charity dinner with him and said that she didn’t need to do anything, just to eat. Rae listened and didn’t forget to bargain, “This kind of dinner must require fully dressed up right, then how’s the fee going to be? This isn’t an ordinary dinner anymore.”

“…” Jensen saw that she was always talking about money and was extremely speechless, then he said, gritting his teeth, “As you wish!”

“Then that’s good. As long as the payment is enough, I’m even willing to play a show with you if you want me to. I’m with my dad now.” Rae said.

“Okay, I’ll pick you up later.”

After saying that, the call disconnected.

Rae watched two episodes of Korean dramas and was flooded with sadness from the crying and wailing inside the drama when Jensen came. He knocked on the door first, then pushed open the door to come in, and treated it as if it was a normal visit and said, “Heath, I’m here to pick up Rae.”
