Georgie Clementine nodded as she subconsciously clasped her hands together. “Yes, it’s all my fault. I was too confident in myself.”
“Don’t be that way anymore," Henry Armstrong's father advised. "Work is important, but your health is even more so. You shouldn’t work too hard even if you’re not pregnant or your body would be exhausted."
Henry’s mother also nodded in agreement. “He's right. Our family has more than enough money to look after you even if you don’t work and stay home.
“Women shouldn’t work so hard anyway,” she added, sighing at the situation before her.
She never thought she’d one day be on such good terms with Georgie when she used to disapprove of her so much. She certainly never expected to be so concerned about her.
She felt ashamed as she thought about the things she used to say to Georgie back then.
Her daughter-in-law chuckled. “Okay, I’ll pay attention. Nonetheless, I’m not going to stay at home and not do something. I have my dreams and goals, and I’ve devoted myself to X Entertainment. It’s where my passion lies.
“I am not going to stop working there,” she decided.
Henry’s mother nodded. “I understand, but you must put your health before your work in the future.”
Georgie instantly nodded in agreement.
This time, she did feel afraid.
She would pay more attention.
No matter what, she’d never be reckless with her health again.
Then, Henry’s father shifted the blame to his son, forcefully punching his shoulder. “You b*stard. Did you lie to us when you told us her work wasn’t tough at all?”
Henry immediately felt guilty at his accusation, lowering his head helplessly as he scratched the back of his head. “I didn’t want you two to worry.”
“If you knew we’d worry, why didn’t you advise her not to work so hard? Why did you let her exhaust herself?” His mother also seemed upset.
