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.
