Liberty walked over and sat down in the chair Darren had been using. Glancing at the plate of fruits, she smiled and said, “Every time I come to see you, you're almost always eating. Mr. Fletcher is practically raising you like a pig.”Caroline flushed slightly. “Exactly! I just lost a little blood, but he’s acting like I need to replenish an entire bucket’s worth.“He even says I’ve lost weight. Have I? I actually think I’ve gotten fat. Pinch my cheeks. They’re all chubby now.”Liberty reached out and pinched her cheek, laughing. “They really are a little plump now.“But you haven’t really gotten fat. You’re just not as thin as before. With Mr. Fletcher taking such meticulous care of you, losing weight would be hard.”Liberty set down her bag, picked up a disposable fork, and speared a piece of fruit to eat.“Mr. Fletcher is so thoughtful. He even cuts the fruit into pieces and arranges them into patterns. It looks so appetizing, way better than how Duncan does it. He only knows

“Your injuries aren’t fully healed yet. There’s no need to rush.”Darren was anxious, but he would not show it. In fact, he wanted to officially put a label on their relationship even more than Caroline did.“My injuries aren’t a problem, unless you don’t want to marry me. Then, we don’t have to hurry to register our marriage.”“How could that be? It’s my dream to marry you. From the moment I first saw you, I’ve loved you. It was love at first sight for me.”Darren hurriedly assured her that he was eager to get married, but he was still worried about Caroline’s injuries.Caroline smiled. “When you first came to my side, I didn’t have a single admirer. I didn’t have Celine’s delicate looks, and I made myself seem timid. So many people looked down on me. The men who tried to get close to me were all spoiled heirs and good-for-nothings.“Those who wanted to follow my father’s path, truly good men… Not a single one liked me.”Perhaps it was not that they did not like her, but they k

“I want him to live a long life, at least until we're married, have children, and build our business empire. He can't die before then.“I don’t need to lift a finger to get revenge on him. As long as I live better than his sons and thrive in happiness, that alone will torment him.”Caroline did not know if her father would ever regret how he had treated her, not that she cared either way anymore.Darren nodded. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure he’s taken care of. He actually has a strong spirit. He’ll easily last another decade or more.“Ms. Caroline, you’re just being all bark and no bite.”He did not believe Caroline truly sought revenge. She might resent her father, but there was no deep-seated hatred between them, so there was no real need for revenge.The fact that Hunter had known about his sons’ plot yet stayed silent had angered her, yes, but it was understandable. Compared to his three sons, a daughter like her meant little to him.In the end, the father and daughter would

Darren watched until Hunter was completely out of sight before returning to the inpatient ward.Inside, Caroline was on the phone with Liberty, discussing company matters. Though she was hospitalized, Liberty only needed to update her briefly on the next steps.Truthfully, Liberty could handle most matters independently by now. However, she still consulted Caroline, insisting that as long as Caroline remained second-in-command of Fisher Enterprise, she should fulfill her responsibilities.Caroline knew it was Liberty’s way of showing her respect.Not wanting to interrupt, Darren quietly moved to the guest lounge in the ward. He opened the small fridge, retrieving some of the fresh fruits visitors had brought. After washing and cutting them into bite-sized pieces, he placed them on a plate and prepared some disposable forks to go with it before carrying them back to Caroline’s bedside.By then, Caroline had finished her call. Seeing him carry another plate of fruits to her, she com

An outsider listening in might have thought Hunter was cursing a sworn enemy rather than his daughter.Darren strode forward, his expression icy, until he stood directly in front of Hunter.The old man faltered mid-rant, momentarily silenced by the younger man’s intimidating aura. However, he then jutted out his chin defiantly, glaring up at Darren with a mix of bravado and wariness.“Y-you—what do you want?”Darren’s voice was steely cold. “Mr. Clark, your sons are in prison. Your grandchildren are minors. Your daughters-in-law want nothing to do with you. So tell me—who exactly is going to provide for you in your old age?“And not long ago, Ms. Caroline already gave you a substantial sum for your living expenses.”Hunter’s face twisted. “Y-you think you can threaten me with this? I-I have plenty of money! I don’t need her handouts!”Despite his bluster, his earlier arrogance had visibly deflated. His voice, too, had shrunk to a mutter.“Mr. Clark, my advice? Go home. Accept r

The crowd immediately turned on Hunter, criticizing him instead.Furious and humiliated, Hunter lashed out at the hospital security guards.“What business is it of yours? Shut your mouth! You’re nothing but glorified guard dogs. Why are you meddling in other people’s affairs?”“See? Now he’s throwing a tantrum.”The security team had long been fed up with Hunter. Every day, he stormed into the inpatient ward, forcing them to drag him out. The whole time, he would be screaming about them manhandling him and threatening to sue.It was obvious he was an unreasonable old man through and through.Anyone who knew Hunter was aware that he was not a good person.In the past, he had been timid, but only because his wife had kept him on a tight leash. After all, he was just a live-in son-in-law.When Belinda was alive, Hunter had orbited around her like a satellite and was the lowest-ranking member of the household.His claim to fame was getting caught red-handed cheating, after which h
