Fortunately, Sophie was alright.
Daisy and Dr. Hale were still so anxious about it.
They didn’t mention what had just happened when Jack hurried into the ward.
Sophie knew Jack suffered a lot. She did not want to burden him a bit more of her matters.
Daisy hesitated on telling Jack the truth as Sophie had told her not to.
"You seem exhausted, Jack," Sophie said to Jack with a bitter smile.
Within this short month, Sophie underwent a surgery while Jack divorced Katherine.
It was an extremely tough time for Jack.
But Jack managed to deal with all the mess while working hard to pay his mom's hospital bill.
"I’m fine, mom.”
Jack felt less stress and strain as his mother was getting better day by day.
Still, he was really tired and pressured because of heavy workload.
But he thought it was all worth it. He did his best to have what he wanted.
“Oh dear…you wouldn’t be so stressed if it wasn’t for me,” said Sophie guiltily.
“No! It’s not like that. You’ve gone through so much to raise me up. You used to work over night, but you’ve never complained. Now my life is way less tough than yours at that time. It’s my turn to take good care of you now,” said Jack.
Sophie overworked and turned out to be ill as she needed to make a living only with Jack.
He was very grateful to his mom, but also resentful to the man that abandoned them.
“Thank God. My good boy,” said Sophie.
“Have a good rest, mom. I’ll give you a surprise after you leave the hospital,” Jack said as he raised his eyebrows.
Just as he was going to leave, he saw Daisy looking at them with tears in her eyes.
He greeted Daisy when he was about to leave.
As he walked out, a man in a Rolls Royce invited him to get in.
“Why are you here, Mr. Ward,” asked Jack.
“I wanted to visit your mother, but she wasn’t aware of the truth, so I’ll visit her next time,” said Mr. Ward.
“Is there anything else?” asked Jack.
“There’s something I wanted to report to you.” Mr. Ward frowned.
“What’s up?” asked Jack.
“Someone wanted to find you the other day,” said Mr. Ward seriously.
“Me?” Jack lifted his brows.
“Someone noticed you because of the announcement of YK Group entering our company. Danger is approaching,” said Mr. Ward.
“He is just so smart that he can come make a deal with me while can’t stop them from troubling me,” said Jack ironically.
