"Hey, you sound much better now?â
Chapter 2837
In the office, all of Nolan's exhaustion seemed to vanish at the sound of her voice. He
leaned back in his chair, the tension that had gripped him all day finally easing.
Despite the fact that it was Regina's biological father who took her away from him, Nolan had been
wound tight as a drum until he heard her voice.
It was only now that the heaviness weighing on his heart had truly subsided.
âYeah, I'm feeling a lot better now, though still a bit weak. The doctor wants me to stick around the
hospital for a few more days before heading home,â Regina reported, as casual as if she were
catching up with an old friend.
Nolan's eyes snapped open at her words. âHome? Which home are you talking about? You're not
planning on shacking up with Imogen and others, are you?â he asked, a hint of concern lacing his
voice.
Regina could tell by his reaction that her recent troubles probably had something to do with that
mother-daughter duo.
"So, my little accident has something to do with Imogen, doesn't it?â Regina probed, but Nolan
seemed puzzled, âDidn't your dad fill you in? I told him everything that went down and reminded
him to pass it on to you.â
âHa,â Regina wasn't surprised, âHe's probably worried that it would stir up a family storm if I knew
the truth.â
Although she felt touched by her father's constant presence and care over the days, the thought
that he would hide the identity of the person who truly hurt h sake of so-called family harmony
chilled her to the bone.
Hearing Regina's scoff, Nolan understood the convoluted things all too well. Fra decisive man in
business, seemed to lose all clarity when it came to family matte
A few pillow talks often swayed his decisions even when it came to his own daugh
âIf you suspect it has something to do with Imogen, why go back there? What if she something
again? You might not be so lucky next time.â
Nolan's brow was tightly furrowed with worry. He genuinely thought Regina shouldn't return to that
quagmire

But Regina responded with a stern resolve, âI have to go back. I need to woman for who she really
is. I want my father to see her true colors. She pretends to about me, but what's the reality? She's
hurt me time and again. This time it was me, a only by sheer luck did I escape. I don't know how
much more luckiness I have to spen on situations like these...

Nolan, I owe you a big thank you, too. If it weren't for you, I really don't know..."
She sighed, and Nolan was at a loss for words. He understood that Regina's choice might be the
right one for her. She needed to rely on her own strength and wit to bring Imogenâs true face to
light.
Yet, he instinctively hated the idea of her putting herself in danger. He wanted to help her, but what
right did he have?
âTake care of yourself. Nothing is more important than that,â Nolan finally sighed, knowing all too
well how stubborn Regina could be.
It wouldn't help no matter how he persuaded; he could only remind her to watch her back. Regina
chuckled softly in response, âHow about I treat you to dinner when I get out, as a thank you?â
âWell. Do you have any idea how fast I had to move to get to that hotel and rescue you? And why
do you think you can get away with just a dinner?â Nolan quipped.
