“Okay.” Henry nodded. “Your clinic in M Nation’s a nice one. Christopher frequents it since it’s hard for a doctor to treat himself. He needs a professional opinion from other doctors.”
‘Oh, I’m just an amateur compared to him.’ Cynthia smiled sheepishly. ‘Your previous treatment has been going well, Grandpa. You should keep at it.’
“I think I should. My back’s been really sore lately. I think I’ll go back once everything’s settled down here.” Henry fiddled with the board.
“What business do you have here?” Zachary asked casually. “I’ll handle the company, so don’t worry about it.” Finally. Zachary grasped the chance to talk about it.
“I know you can handle it.” Henry gazed into him. “But what about your personal problems?”
Zachary froze. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Cynthia’s a good girl.” Henry peered at Cynthia. “You should talk to her more.”
Zachary frowned. He was about to fly into a rage, but then he remembered something. Henry will go back to M Nation if I pretend to date Cynthia, and he wouldn’t bother me anymore. I can also take the time to settle business with Charlotte.
Zachary nodded. “Yeah, she’s a nice girl. I can try dating her.”
“Really?” Henry was overjoyed, and Cynthia was stunned. She had been waiting for him to say that for the longest time.
“Of course.” Zachary didn’t show too much enthusiasm, or it’d be too fake. “I can date her and see what happens.”
“Good. Very good. Excellent.” Henry nodded in exuberance. “You’ll see how nice Cynthia is once you get along with her.”
