She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 306

Every time he texted or called Melanie, she would say she was just about to finish her work, which only made Dominic more antsy.

However…

The more he craned his neck in anticipation, the more disappointed he felt when Melanie didn't appear.

Dominic realized he had been waiting for Melanie for nearly two hours.

He couldn't take it anymore and dialed her number again.

“Honey, what work is so important that it has to be done tonight? Today is the Valentine's Day. I spent so long preparing a huge surprise for you. Can't you just put your work aside for a bit?”

“You're my wife, not my employee.”

After Dominic’s rapid-fire tirade, the line went silent.

Melanie’s silence made Dominic nervous and uncertain.

Was his tone… too harsh just now?

Could Melanie be angry?

Dominic began to worry, regretting his complaints.

“Dominic…”

Finally, Melanie spoke again.

“I understand your feelings, but… the research on the new anti-cancer drug is in its final stages. Adrian Mercer needs a set of data from me by tomorrow. As soon as I calculate this data, if there are no errors, the new anti-cancer drug might be successfully developed!”

Melanie's voice on the other end was trembling with excitement.

Dominic’s chest tightened in response.

The new anti-cancer drug was almost ready?!

“Really, honey? Are we… are we really about to succeed?”

Dominic’s own voice cracked with excitement.

The development of the new anti-cancer drug was the lifeline of the Hale Health Center.

It was also the top priority for the entire Hale Group.

Gregory had poured a fortune into the project, and the Hale Health Center had dedicated all its resources to it.

Although his public persona as a doting husband, which he adopted on Melanie's advice, had been a huge success online, it was not enough.

In response to Dominic’s confusion, Melanie just smiled without answering.

She wasn't at the Hale Health Center at the moment.

But she hadn't exactly lied to Dominic.

She was indeed working overtime.

And she was indeed calculating the final set of data.

Only, it wasn't Adrian Mercer who needed it urgently.

She was the one who needed it.

The success of the new anti-cancer drug meant that the Hale Health Center would go public, which also meant—

The grand gift she had meticulously prepared for Dominic could finally be presented.

“You can do it, honey! I’ll be waiting for you right here at the hotel. You’re so amazing, working yourself to the bone for my company. I’ll wait for you no matter how long it takes!”

Dominic declared grandly.
