The Epic Blind Date with My Boss novel Chapter 674

Chapter 674 Happy New Year

Josie and Arnold strolled by the hospital’s security checkpoint.

Since it was New Year’s Day, the hospital buzzed with a festive atmosphere, trying to cope with a challenging situation.

Arnold and Josie reached the ward entrance, where they saw everyone gathered around the TV with meat loaves and candies on the table.

The three hospital beds were filled, and most of the patients lying on them were bald with pale faces.

Arnold stepped forward and went straight to the third bed. He grinned and said, “You must be Lucia.”

Josie followed closely.

Taken aback by the unexpected presence of a tall and handsome young man, Lucia promptly got to her feet. “Yes, I am. And you are…”

“I am Will’s boss. The project has ended, so I came to wish him a Happy New Year.”

Arnold placed the gifts on the table.

The middle-aged woman bore the marks of life’s hardships, evident from the wrinkles on her smiling face.

“That’s very thoughtful of you to visit. Unfortunately, Will isn’t here right now. He should be back soon.”

Despite the cheerful ambiance, Josie felt deep sorrow, and tears welled up once more.

“Sir, please have a seat.” The boy lying on the bed kindly gestured to a chair.

He seemed to be about sixteen or seventeen, appearing frail and weak due to his illness. However, warmth radiated from him when he smiled, showing no sign of decay.

“My dad will be back soon.”

Lucia was busy attending to Arnold and Josie. “You know, the hospital is very basic without proper tools; they don’t even have decent tea. I apologize for the poor hospitality.”

“It’s fine. I’m not a tea drinker.” Arnold stopped her.

“Could

you come outside with me for a moment? I have something to ask you to convey to.

O

The boy seemed a bit downhearted. “Will it really get better? I don’t want to burden. my parents.”

Tears welled up in Josie’s eyes as she choked on the candy. She shook her head reassuringly. “It will get better; trust me.”

To be terminally ill at such a vibrant age and losing his father, how could he bear it?

Josie couldn’t imagine the pain he endured..

As Josie left the ward, she couldn’t find Arnold. It wasn’t until she had walked a fair distance. that she suddenly heard the sound of a woman sobbing. She turned and saw Lucia huddled in the dimly lit corridor, crying uncontrollably.

Her collapse clearly indicated that she had already learned the devastating truth.

Standing beside her was the man, his face expressionless and his fingertips glowing crimson as he chain-smoked one cigarette after another.

After a while, he finally broke the silence. “How much do you need? The Carter Group can

cover it.”
