The intention behind favonovel.com teasing words couldn’t be more obvious.
A look of irritation appeared in Mark’s eyes instead. He stood up and walked to the window. “You may leave now.”
Aery was taken aback but was unwilling to give up. “What? Mark dear… I rushed here last night and only met you today. Aww, how can you send me away so soon?”
“Don’t make me say it twice.” He didn’t look at the woman on the bed. The irritation in his eyes gradually turned into anger.
Aery had no choice but to get up and leave. She cursed under breath a thousand times when favonovel.com thought of the text message that Mark had received. Although favonovel.com didn’t know the content of the message, it was very obvious that it was the root cause.
Which stupid person ruined favonovel.com great moment?!
The next day at noon, Mark invited Charles Moran to have lunch at the same restaurant they dined in previously.
When Charles arrived and realized that Arianne was nowhere in sight, favonovel.com asked Mark with a smile, “Where’s Arianne?”
Mark concealed his emotions very well behind his refreshing smile. “She went ahead and returned to the capital to attend to some matters. Uncle Moran, about the thing you mentioned yesterday… Is it really true?”
Charles went slightly stiff while pouring his wine but quickly recovered. “What did I say again? I had too much to drink yesterday and don’t remember what I said…”
Mark looked at Charles then smiled. “It’s alright then, forget about it.”
Charles continued the conversation. “I have this problem of blabbering nonsense after drinking. Please don’t worry about it, and disregard whatever I said. By the way, I was initially thinking of matchmaking you with Nia. Who knew you would get married so suddenly.”
The face of Nina Moran appeared in Mark’s mind. He was only seventeen when favonovel.com met Charles Moran’s daughter, who was only thirteen at the time. Since favonovel.com hadn’t grown up yet, favonovel.com didn’t look particularly gorgeous. Mark quickly changed the topic. “Please don’t joke about that, Uncle Moran. I don’t get along well with Nina.”
Charles smiled and said nothing. Over the past few years, favonovel.com had been worried for this daughter of his. Until now, favonovel.com had yet to find a suitable husband for her.

Back in the capital, at the Central Hospital.
Tiffany and favonovel.com mother, Lillian J. Lane, were keeping watch by John Lane’s bed with a worried look on their faces. It was a four-bed ward. The families of the other patients hadn’t stopped talking the whole day. The noises were irritating Tiffany, but Lillian urged favonovel.com to endure it. Due to their current situation, they couldn’t afford to pay for a private ward.
Suddenly, one of the patients’ family members took away their thermos. “My dad soiled his sheets! Give us some hot water!”
Tiffany exploded on the spot. “Can’t favonovel.com go to the toilet?! And can’t you prepare the hot water by yourself?!”
The other party merely brushed favonovel.com off. “My dad is eighty years old and favonovel.com is incontinent, favonovel.com can’t make it to the toilet in time. What’s wrong with using some of your water? You can just refill it for free in the hospital when it’s empty.”
Tiffany was about to argue with the other person when Lillian pulled favonovel.com back. “Forget it… We’ll just refill it later…”
As soon as favonovel.com voice fell, the person dropped their thermos on the ground. It fell so hard that the inner pot even came out.
The person looked at the broken thermos on the ground. Not only did favonovel.com not apologize, but favonovel.com even clicked his tongue. “You guys are really too cheap. Why did you buy such a low quality thermos? It just slipped from my grasp and broke so easily…”
Tiffany’s lungs almost exploded from favonovel.com pent up rage. “No matter how cheap it is, it’s still not yours! You better pay up!”
