When hearing" father", he would have such an expression. From the time he is twenty-six years old,
the word "father" has become a word that cannot be mentioned in his life.
The deathly silence makes the atmosphere between them even more solemn. Pehry loses his patience
and says, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
The old man stands up and looks at him with deep gaze. "Promote the project properly and don't make
the same mistake again."
After saying that, he walks straight out of the office, leaving stiffened Pehry behind.
The door opens and the bodyguards follow behind him. Wearing black suits and white shirts, they
follow the old man to the elevator.
However, not long after he leaves, the cracking sound comes from the office. The old man closes his
eyes and pretends that he doesn't hear anything.
The assistant watches the old man leave in the elevator. He wants to go in and take a look, but he
doesn't expect a wireless phone to fly to his feet.
"Bang!" It lands at his feet and shatters into pieces.
Winfred pulls him back and says, "Don't go in. Let's wait for Mr. Pehry to calm down."
They are not fearful, nor do they forget their duties. It is just that every time the old man comes to the
Red Club, they could see such a scene. The best way to deal with it is to let Pehry calm down.
Otherwise, it will only make him even more irritable.
No one can comfort him, and no one can help him. Although Winfred doesn't know what they have
talked about, it must be something very serious, for Pehry loses control every time.
The assistant has lingering fear and retreats to the side. "I'll wait outside."
...
After Jasmine and Bridget return to the hospital, Aunt and uncle are also here. They bring Cyrus the
bone soup, afraid that the food at the hospital is not good.
Seeing Jasmine and Bridget come late, they couldn't help but ask, "Dad told me that you guys go to
dinner with the boss at noon?"
Jasmine has just been taught a lesson by Bridget, so she doesn't dare to say anything. She greets
them and then goes out to get some water for Cyrus.
Bridget sits on a small chair and casually replies, "I invite him to dinner. After all, he is the benefactor of
our family."
"That's definitely true." Uncle echoes, and then asks, "But it's rare for such a big boss to have time to
eat with us."
Bridget could hear that he wants to know more. This person is always nosy. No matter what happens in
other family, he is even more active than persons concerned. However, he is still a family and they are
in front of Cyrus. So it is not good for her to behave too cruel.
"The boss has nothing to do with us. I'll ask Jasmine to send an IOU another day. We'll collect the
money and pay it back quickly."
Hearing what she says, aunt hurriedly touched uncle with her elbow and says with a fake smile, "Yes,
yes. No matter what, we borrow the money from his and we need to pay back."
The topic stops here. After all, it was unknown what information will be exposed if he continues to ask.
When Jasmine returns to the ward, no one mentions Pehry again. She secretly heaves a sigh of relief
and places the hot water beside the bed. Then she helps Cyrus with leg massage.
He hasn't gotten out of bed for so many days, and his body is probably frozen. Massage could help the
circulation of blood, so he won't feel so uncomfortable.
"You two can go back first. Jasmine and I will stay here. You can come over tomorrow morning to
replace us." Bridget sees that there's nothing to do here, so she asks the couple to go home first.
"Alright then, call me if you need anything. I'll be leaving first," Auntie agrees quickly.
After sending them off, Jasmine asks Bridget to sleep for a while on the small bed aside. She will take
care of her father in the afternoon. Bridget needs to replace her at night, so she would definitely not be
able to stand it if she doesn't rest.
Bridget sleeps for a while until 7:30 pm. When she gets up, she doesn't even have time to eat and
hurriedly asks Jasmine to have dinner first.
Jasmine can't find a way to refute her and walks towards the hospital canteen with her mobile phone.
She thinks that she should bring food to the ward so that Bridget won't have to wait for her to finish her
meal.
Along the way, she looks at her phone. She doesn't have time to contact Pehry this afternoon. It is
strange that he doesn't even call her or send her a message.
Strange. Could it be that he has been busy all this afternoon?
In the past, Pehry used to call her about twenty times a day. Although she didn't receive most of the
calls, at least she could answer seven or eight of them.
Today it is a little abnormal.
Jasmine stops and wants to call him, but she is afraid of delaying his work. She struggles for a long
time before she makes up her mind.
It's better to call him. If he's busy, she'll hang up quickly.
She finds Pehry's number and dials him. The call is quickly put through, and the busy tone comes to
her ear. No one answers the phone for a long time.
Just as Jasmine thinks that no one would answer, a deep and familiar voice suddenly sounds in her
ear. "Yes."
"Hello, hello?" She doesn't know why, but she is a little panicked. Usually, Pehry would contact her, so
she rarely takes the initiative to call him. Now the phone is suddenly answered, she is a little restrained.
"What, what are you doing?"
Unexpectedly, the male voice on the other end of the phone is not as excited as before. Instead, he
sounds a little depressed. "Sleeping."
"Sleeping?" Jasmine takes the phone away from her ear and glances at the time. Then she puts it back
again. She puts her mouth close to the microphone and whispers, "Why are you sleeping at this time?"
"I'm a little tired."
"Have you eaten?"
"No."
Jasmine doesn't want to continue. It's not because she doesn't care about him, but she can feel that
Pehry doesn't want to speak from his reply of one or two words.
This is not Pehry's style at all. During the short time she has known him, she has never seen such a
sullen Pehry.
Could it be that he is unhappy about today's meeting and he doesn't want to talk to her?
It shouldn't be. She doesn't even tell him what Bridget says. He is still very happy when they are having
dinner. How could it be like this in the blink of an eye?
Jasmine is a little worried about him, so she screws up her courage and asks, "Pehry, where are you
now?"
When she asks this, she has already decided to look for him.
On the other end of the phone, the man pauses for a moment and says, "Villa."
"Then can you wait for me for a while? I'll bring you some food."
Pehry neither agrees nor refuses, but suddenly says, "I'm drunk."
Jasmine is stunned for a moment. She almost can't keep up with his thought. It is only seven or eight
o'clock. Why is he drunk? Weird, really too weird.
"Wait for me at home and stop drinking, okay?" Jasmine is even more worried.
Ever since the old man leaves, countless people have tried to persuade him, but Jasmine is the only
one Pehry could listen to.
She's coming to me. She can't be frightened by my drunkenness.
Pehry nods obediently while holding the phone.
