Chapter 170 No Expectations.
Mr. Regis my stupid wife doesn’t know how to watch her words. I apologize to you on her behalf. Please be the bigger man and forgive her
Regis shot Norris a cold sideways glance and said nothing.
Seeing this, embarrassment crept across Norris’s face.
But he understood what Regis meant.
He turned and apologized to Clifford and Felicia instead.
Professor Quill, you were right to scold us just now. We didn’t raise our daughter well. She crossed the line and wronged Nella. I’m really sorry.”
Felicia looked at Norris. “Since you’ve apologized on behalf of your daughter, we’ll let this part go. But what about today’s issue? How do you plan to handle it?”
Norris wasn’t stupid. He already knew he couldn’t get out of this without giving a proper explanation.
More importantly, Regis had shown up in person, clearly to back Nella.
We’ll handle it exactly as Nella suggested. We’ll post a public clarification online, stating that this entire matter has nothing to do with Nella or the hospital.”
“Dad!”
“Honey!”
Eileen and Zoey shouted at the same time.
“Both of you, shut up!”
Norris turned back and barked, shooting them a cold, warning look. Eileen and Zoey could only fall silent.
Since Norris had already said this, neither Nella nor the hospital pressed the matter further.
For now, the issue was considered resolved.
Norris no longer had the nerve to stay, so he made an excuse to leave.
“Mr. Regis, we’ll be heading out now. We still need to go check on Patrick’
As he spoke, he motioned for Eileen and Zoey to leave.
Zoey followed behind Norris, her eyes red with resentment.
As she passed Alfred, she couldn’t help but speak up one last time. Alfred…
Her misty eyes were full of unspoken longing
Alfred looked at her calmly. ‘Go back Do what you’re supposed to do

Zoey’s face instantly turned pale.
In the end, Norris grabbed her and dragged her away.

Inside the reception room, the other hospital leaders gradually left as well. Only Clifford, Felicia, Nella, Regis, Alfred, and Caleb remained.
“Mr. Regis, weren’t you on vacation in Gedwark? Why did you suddenly come back?”
Winters at Apex were especially cold, and every year around this time, Regis would head to the south to escape the chill.
Hearing Caleb’s question, Regis shot a cold glance at his disappointing grandson and said, “Because some idiot with no sense managed to piss me off so much that I had to fly back.”
Alfred, the “idiot with no sense,” awkwardly rubbed the bridge of his nose and stayed quiet.
Regis then turned to Nella with a gentle smile. “Nella.”
Hearing Regis call her, Nella quickly stepped forward. “Yes?”
“I’m sorry you were wronged.”
Nella froze, then quickly shook her head. “No, I haven’t.”
Others might not know, but she did.
Alfred had no obligation to give her anything beyond what was stated in their agreement.
Even if she was the one who’d been wronged in this marriage, it was something she had to bear herself.
That was exactly why, no matter how excessive Alfred’s actions looked to outsiders, she had never complained to him or blamed him in front of anyone else.
