River nodded. “I have to attend to some matters. Tell the doctor I’m going home to grab something if he asks.”
“Do you really have to go? You’re going to need new stitches if your wounds open up,” said Mary in concern
River smiled. “Don’t worry, I’m just attending a business gathering.”
“Business gathering? You can’t drink, Ms. Healy!” Mary cautioned.
River said, “Don’t worry. I have my own boundaries.”
Mary did not comment further when she noticed that River was determined.
She called Neil after River got changed and left, but Neil did not pick up.
River met Casey in the elevator.
Casey was stunned briefly before he said smilingly, “Are you allowed to leave the hospital?”
River walked into the elevator and answered nonchalantly, “Almost.”
Casey said, “I can see you’re leaving without the doctor’s permission.
River looked at Casey with a fake smile. “You’re meddling, Mr. De Marco.”
Casey chuckled. “It’s just a concern between two sick buddies.”
“Thank you. However, I don’t need it. Your injuries look worse than mine,” River commented.
Casey looked at her. “Are you showing care for my condition?”
River replied, “No. I’m just mentioning it casually.”
Casey said, “You’re really straightforward, Ms. Healy.”
“I don’t have enough care to show to strangers,” River quipped.
The elevator door opened, and Casey beckoned to the door. “You first, Ms. Healy.”
River nodded and walked out without turning back
The smile on Casey’s face faded, and he looked at the bodyguard standing behind him. “Find out her room number and contact details.”
The bodyguard took on the task.
At MK.
Alex walked into the room right after Noah finished a call. He sat on the sofa and began to express his frustration without speaking.
Noah looked at him scornfully. “How is it? Did you manage to find any evidence?”
Alex was infuriated when Noah mentioned that and asked, “Have you looked into the journalist already, Noah?”
Noah nodded calmly as he rifled through a folder
Alex said, “Why didn’t you tell me that last night? I didn’t sleep well the whole night because of this!”
Noah asked coldly, “Did you ask me about it?”
‘Should I still keep Noah as my best friend?‘ Alex wondered.
Alex said, “I didn’t find anything. You should consider it properly. It’s tough for River, too.”
“Is it easy for me? Someone needs to bear the responsibility for this case, right?” Noah’s gaze turned dark instantly.
“You’re right, but you don’t have to go as far as terminating the factory’s lease, right? You have a few factories, but this is all she has.”
Noah sneered, opened the drawer, pulled out a folder, and tossed it on the desk. “You may decide if you still want to take her side after reading that.”
Alex stood up and picked up the folder in puzzlement.
He was stunned as soon as he saw the photo.
Noah asked as he stared at Alex’s unpleasant expression, “Can you still recognize my mother?”
Alex clutched the folder tightly. There was no telling who the person was when the person’s face was a mangled, bloody mess.
Noah said, “What would you do if you were in my place?”
Alex stuffed the photo into the folder and weakly said, “I’m sorry. I won’t intervene anymore.”
He had no choice but to empathize with Noah’s situation. If he were in Noah’s shoes, he would probably suspect River too. Trying to imagine how Noah felt when he saw the tragic state of his mother’s death was nearly impossible.
No one could think clearly when faced with such a tragic loss, especially the loss of a mother.
Noah closed the drawer and locked it. Then, he stood up, glanced at his watch, and asked, “Is there anything else?”
Alex asked, “Would you like to join me for dinner?”
“I have a business gathering. You’re free to go.” Noah replied as he picked up his jacket.
Alex nodded. ‘Alright, then.”
At 5:30 p.m., River arrived at Regal Restaurant and called Paige from the car.
Paige said dully, “River.”
River could hear the difference in Paige’s tone and asked concerningly, “What’s going on?”
Paige said quiltily, “River, I don’t know how to tell you this. I found out that the factory belongs to
MK.”
River was relieved because she thought something bad had happened to Paige. “Don’t worry. I can lease another factory using his penalty fee for a month.”
“Really?” Paige asked anxiously.
“Yes. Don’t worry about me. Where are the children? Are they with you?” River asked with at smile.
Paige said, “They just got home from school. Would you like to speak to them?”
River checked the time and said, “Yes, please.”
Paige called out from the stairway, “Lia, Ty, Mommy’s calling!”
Soon, she heard the sound of the children going down the stairs quickly.
“Mommy! I miss you so much!” Liora said.
Tyler said, “I miss you too, Mommy.”
River felt the urge to cry. “I miss you very much too, my darlings.”
She had never been away from the children for such a long time and missed them so much she could not sleep.
Liora cried. “When will you be home, Mommy?”
River said, “Don’t cry, dear. I’ll be home in a week.”
Tyler said, “Don’t worry about us, Mommy. Take care of yourself and eat on time.”
River said, “I know. Have you been good at obeying Godmother these days?”
“Yes, Mommy,” said the two children in unison.
River said, “Godmother is not good at cooking. If you want to eat something, get her to bring you out to eat. I’ll pay her.”
“Don’t worry about the money!” Paige called out.
River laughed while Tyler said, “Don’t worry, Mommy Lia and I will do our best to spend all her money before you’re home.”
“Hey! I’ve put up with you long enough, you brat!” Paige shouted.
Liora chimed in. “Don’t do that. Godmother is still unmarried. She will spend the rest of her life)
alone if she has no money to get herself a husband.
River didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. She wondered where Liora learned to utter such things.
However, she felt relieved to hear the children joking.
River hung up after a brief conversation with the children. She exited the car and ordered the bodyguard to bring the prepared liquor before they walked to the restaurant.
River took the liquor at the entrance of the private room. “Don’t wait here. Go and eat something.”
The bodyguard glanced at the private room, and River said, “Don’t worry. I can handle this.
There are waiting staff, too.”
The bodyguard left whe River took a deep breath and walked into the private room.
🤔🤔…
The curious is Lilli me plz update more chapter
Lol ,I have laughed and mostly cried , please update
Gosh I’m so frustrated with Noah!!! River really needs to reveal her true identity as a Xander soon. Daniella has too much power. I want Grayson to be filled with so much regret
I so hope there is one novel written where the main characters don’t end up back together. Noah is a complete paranoid dumb idiot who claims to love River but treat her like Cabbage. I hope in the end you don’t bring them back together. Initially, River spent 3 years in a loveless abusive relationship, then was dumped as Daniella came in. She then ended in prison, almost died, lost one of her kids. After 5 years, u say she is back as a strong women who cannot be walked all over but she is still the same weak person……. make up your mind AUTHOR. She has been beaten and taken by force by Noah’s father even her own brother cannot protect her.
I hope River falls in love with someone that deserve her and treats her right, while Noah ends up alone with Danielle. They deserve each other.
River have the custody of her kids.
I couldn’t agree with you more
You are so right!!
Very true, NOAH is a bad ML who has a serious and severe trust issues.
Totally agree! The amount of abuse this woman has endured is tough to read. Being beaten to almost death is horrible. Introduce another male love rival and have River hook up with him. Noah needs to live with regret for his dumb choices
Love this
All these suffering, not so different from when she left , yet the author described her as powerful, even though those power mounts to nothing where Daniella and Noah is concerned, now there is Casey in the mix , his father is also there, then Grayson, how much suffering does she have to go through, I’m wondering where power the author talked about is
Why must she even suffer? And Where’s her so called power?
Grayson and Noah are both complete morons.
Please dear Author make River Fall in Love with someone else who is the best and opposite character of Noah. Someone who is loving, supportive, and trustful.
Dear writer, can you please update more chapters? It’s been so less. Update as more often please… some of us are getting restless
Noah is blinded by his anger and that is why he cannot even see dat Ty and Lia are his kids. His anger for his father and Casey is destroying his love for River and his children. Axel on the other end is suffering and no one see it
