The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 831

Winona Jowett finished her overtime and got home at half-past eleven.

She peeked into the bedroom. The sight of her daughter's sweet, sleeping face instantly melted her exhaustion away.

Wynne Walden heated up a bowl of soup for her. Watching her eat, Wynne asked with concern, "You've been pushing yourself so hard lately. Is your body holding up?"

"The ADC project is progressing smoothly," Winona explained. "It's already in the clinical trial phase. Once this stretch is over, things will settle down."

Wynne beamed with pride. "That's wonderful. This will take your reputation in the industry to the next level."

Then, she let out a soft sigh. "But Stefan has been stuck in the Capital caring for Violet for a whole week now. Audrey keeps asking for her daddy."

Stefan Goddard was spending all his time after work at the hospital, leaving him unable to return to Riverton.

Winona had visited Violet once. Seeing the once-formidable woman so frail had tugged at her heartstrings.

She knew how deep Stefan's bond with his grandmother was, so she fully supported him staying in the Capital until she recovered.

But Violet's immune system was weak, and there was no telling when she would bounce back.

The next evening, Winona got off work early.

Audrey reached for her the moment she walked through the door.

Winona held her for a while, but the toddler soon started getting fussy, babbling "Dada." She clearly missed her father.

Winona texted Stefan to see if he was free for a video call.

His call came through almost immediately.

The sterile hospital room was visible in the background.

The second Audrey saw her father, her eyes welled up, and she burst into pitiful tears.

"Dada..."
