Chapter 211 – The Regretful Billionaire: An Unpredicted Reunion

Filed to story: The Regretful Billionaire: An Unpredicted Reunion >>

The woman said nothing and left the study room.She thought that Danika was interesting, but it wouldn’t stop her from claiming her life.

On the other side of Bardoff City, Natalia Cruz looked at her sickly grandfather on the bed with teary eyes.

“You’ll be alright, Grandpa.

“Don’t cry.I’m not dead yet,” he chided.

Natalia wiped her tears away.

Then, she thought of something.

“Grandpa, I know of a very talented neurosurgeon.We could try her out.”

“Natalia, I am heavily ill.However, I’m glad that you care about me.We’ll give her a try.”

Her grandfather didn’t care about doctors.He only cared about his granddaughter.

Natalia smiled at once.

“Alright.I’ll get her to come to Bardoff City to perform your surgery.”

She left the room and walked out of the house, taking the earliest flight to Parrington.

The neurosurgeon she was talking about was, of course, Danika.

Because of her ties with Eustace, she had researched Danika before and learned about her skills.

Even though her grandfather was already treated by all the famous doctors in Bardoff City, Natalia still didn’t give up.

She would rather place all her hopes on Danika.

The sky gradually darkened.

Danika, now done with her free clinic duties, returned home.

Just like yesterday, Eustace’s door was ajar.She guessed that he had food prepared.

“He suddenly seems like a stay-at-home husband,” she thought and nearly laughed out loud.

Eustace got out of his home and saw Danika’s smile.

“What made you this happy?”

“Nothing.It’s just I think you’re like a stay-at-home husband.”

Especially since Eustace was wearing an apron.

Eustace looked down at the apron and smiled, too.

“I already am.Have you eaten?” he asked, looking at her hopefully.

Danika shook her head.

“Would you be upset if I already ate?”

Eustace smiled bitterly, not denying it.

“Did you starve yourself so that I wouldn’t feel upset?”

“No way.I just got home.I didn’t have the time to eat.”

Danika refused to admit that he was right.Eustace didn’t argue with her.He gestured for her to come in.

“Well, let’s eat.I’ve already prepared everything.”

“I can’t refuse you when you’re being so generous,” Danika said, walking into his house.

They ate at the dining table.

Danika had to admit that Eustace’s cooking skills were improving.

This meal tasted like one in a five-star restaurant.

“Is Alfred working in your company?” Eustace suddenly asked.

Danika was stunned.She looked at him in disbelief.

“Do you know him?” Eustace nodded and told her about the investigation.

“You mentioned him last night, so I told Vincent to do some digging.I didn’t think that an illegitimate child would actually exist.”

Danika smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say. She was only suspicious before, but now it was confirmed.

“Why is he working at my company if he’s your father’s son?” she asked.

It couldn’t just be a coincidence. Eustace looked at her, evidently deep in thought.

“I think he has ulterior motives. It’s best to fire him.”

He would never be at ease with someone like Alfred by Danika’s side.

“That’s going to be hard. I just signed a contract with him. If I fire him now, I’ll have to compensate him.”

Danika smiled bitterly. She blamed herself for not doing a background check before hiring him. Eustace thought it was hilarious.

“I’ll pay.”

“It’s not about the money. It’s about my pride.”

Alfred was the one with the ulterior motive. Why was she the one who would suffer losses? “So what are you going to do? Are you going to let him work at your company?”

Eustace was upset, but he didn’t show it.He knew that Danika had her own ideas.

She didn’t like anyone making decisions for her.

Danika was not going to deceive him.She nodded.

“Based on his resume, he’s a genius.As long as he doesn’t sabotage the company, I could care less about whose son he is.”Eustace couldn’t tell if she was joking.

“What if…what if his goal has nothing to do with the company but with you?” he asked. He thought it was a great possibility.

Danika had not considered that.She thought about it and said nonchalantly, ”That’s even less of an issue. He can’t beat me. I’d never lose.”

Eustace smiled bitterly.

What if Alfred didn’t mean to beat her but had another goal in mind? He didn’t say much, however.

“You can make the decisions. You can call me if anything goes wrong.”

Alfred was not doing much for now, so Eustace couldn’t attack him for no reason. Who knew what Alfred would do if he was backed into a corner? Eustace’s men would keep an eye on him. He would not be given a chance to hurt Danika.

“Eustace.”

Danika suddenly called him.

Eustace looked at her.

“What?”

“Do you remember what I said about your fear of the dark? That it’s a psychological issue?” She didn’t want to tell him about his recent condition, instead mentioning his fear of the dark.

Eustace nodded gravely.

“What’s up?”

“I have a friend who’s an expert in this. If you have the time, I’d like to take you for a visit,” she said carefully, afraid of angering him.

To her surprise, Eustace was not angered by her words. He smiled and said, “That won’t be necessary. I already have a therapist.”

Danika was dazed.

“A therapist?”

“Yeah. Vincent found one for me. He’s famous in the country. I’m already receiving treatment,” he said.

Eustace wasn’t angry about her bringing it up. In fact, he was a little happy.

Deep down, she cared about him, and that was a good thing.
