Soon, Carson composed himself.
“I understand. I’ll just take these things for you to the infirmary and leave.”
Although I was unhappy that he kept pestering me, I couldn’t be too unkind to him. Left with no choice, I let him carry these supplements upstairs with me.
Arriving at the ward, he tactfully dropped his things and wanted to leave. “Honey, I’ll wait for you in the parking lot.”
“Go back first. I’m going home driving my car.”
Seeing the bags in my hands, my parents were shocked. “Why did you buy so many things?”
“I don’t know what you like, so I bought a lot.”
“How did you carry so many things upstairs?” With that, my mother glanced behind me.
“I told someone to help me,” I replied with a smile, never mentioning Carson.
Suddenly, Mrs. Fant pushed open the door and said, “I saw Carson downstairs just now. He said hello to me.”
That idiot did it intentionally to let my parents know he was in this hospital.
Resentful, I quickly changed the subject. “Dad, how are you feeling today?”
“I feel much better now,” he replied.
“Tell me what you want to eat. I will cook for you.”
“There is no necessity. You’ve always liked to stay in bed since you were young. Your father will feel sorry if you have to wake up early to make soup before going to work,” my mother chimed in.
“Everything is fine. There was one time I never slept for two days to finish a design draft.” As soon as I finished my words, my parents’ expressions changed.
With a worried expression, my mother asked, “Have you always worked so hard in recent years?”
“No, that doesn’t happen often. I’ve only done this a few times before. I’m just trying to say that I’m a more disciplined person
now.”
My mother was not convinced by my explanation. “Lily, I’m sorry that your life has been difficult the last few years. We only have you as our daughter. His father’s health has deteriorated so he needs someone to look after his company. I think that when your father recovers, you should come back and help him run the company.”
“Mom, I’m not interested in running a business. Besides, Daddy’s health isn’t too bad. Also, there are professional managers out there. If Dad really wants to retire, we can hire a manager to run the company.”
“Silly girl, the company will one day be yours, so you have to learn to manage it. We cannot simply listen to a professional manager. If the manager wants to harm you, you will be left with nothing.”
My father, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted: “Normally, a professional manager would not be so immoral. However, your mother is right that the company will one day be yours, so you have to learn to manage it.”
“Let’s not talk about that first. Mrs. Fant, please open it for me and let my father taste it.” I grabbed a bottle of supplement Carson had bought and changed the subject.
Leaving the ward, I thought about what my parents told me.

The company will be mine one day. Carson must be lenient with me because he understands that my father’s company will eventually be mine. What an idiot. He must be trying to swallow the company by approaching me. Wait and see. I will not let your plan succeed.
When I got to the parking lot and saw Carson there, I was furious. “Why are you still here?”
