“The taxi I ordered is already here. I’ll take my leave now. See you at work.” She nodded slightly and quickly left, dragging her suitcase with her.
Matthew stared at her for a long time. He watched her put her suitcase in the trunk of a taxi and get in the back seat. It wasn’t until the taxi drove off that he finally looked away.
As soon as he hopped in the car, he ordered Fernando, “Get involved in the development project of Bysea’s Pearl Island right away.”
Fernando, who was trying to fasten the seatbelt, froze when he heard that command.
He was curious to know why his boss made that decision. However, he just said obediently, “Okay, sir!”
He then started the ignition and eased the car into the road.

He shot his grandson a searing glare and then looked away sharply.
He continued pacing, clasping his hands together.
Matthew’s confusion quadrupled.
He could tell that his grandfather blamed him for whatever happened, but he couldn’t wrap his head around this because he hadn’t even spoken to Lucia in two days. How was her fainting his fault?
Neither of them spoke again. They stood outside the operating room and waited in silence.
Matthew couldn’t take his eyes off the door. Worry lines were on his face.
An hour later, the red light on the door of the operating room suddenly went out.
