After Justin was barely given the green light to be discharged, he was busy for the next three days
tackling the work that had snowballed during his hospitalization.
In the past few days, his health condition has been like a roller coaster ride. He was surviving on
supplements and medicine from Bella. Justin clung to lanâs help with the external treatments as he
prayed for a quick rebound.
Justin could not protect his loved ones without his health.
âItâs time for your medicine, Mr. Salvador.â lan placed the medicine and a bottle of water on the tray
before carrying it to Justin.
Justin was reviewing some documents at his desk. He responded, â Iâm busy. Later.â
âUm, if you donât take your meds on time, I will report your misbehavior to the young madam.â
lan looked justified. âThe young madam contacted me the other day, instructing me to watch you take
your meds. I am supposed to report back to her if thereâs a problem. If the young madam finds out that
you wonât take your meds like a good boy, sheâs not going to be happy with you.â
Justin put down his pen, grabbed the pills, and swallowed them with a gulp of water right away.
lan nodded with satisfaction, feeling amused and regretful.
If Justin had listened three years ago, he could probably have had enough children with the young
madam to start a little league by now.
Instead, Justin remained single and chose the thorny path of humiliation in his desperate bid to reclaim
his ex-wifeâs affections. Justin was in for a long ride.
âI told you to keep an eye on Bella. Did you do that?â The bitterness sank in as Justin swallowed the pill
with a frown.
He pulled out a drawer and fished a piece of chocolate out. He unwrapped the wrapper and stuffed the
chocolate piece into his mouth.
The piece of chocolate was part of the snacks Bella left in the house. Justin dug out the junk food and
kept it in his office drawer for safekeeping.
When Justin was feeling down and strained, he would seek solace in the sweet delight.
That was just sad.
âI did. I heard that Chairman Thompsonâs third wife, Celeste, is having a birthday celebration soon. I
think the young madam is organizing the party for her at the hotel.â
âCeleste used to be a celebrity, right?â Justin asked indifferently.
âYes, thatâs right. Celeste is my momâs idol. When I was young, her shows were always on TV at home.
My mom is a huge fan. She even bought the same outfits that Celeste wore in her TV shows. Sighâ¦
Itâs a shame she left showbiz so soon. My mom was upset for a long time because Celeste no longer
acted. Celeste was the goddess of many fans at the time,â Ian lamented. The mention of Celeste made
him an eager beaver.
âWhy did she retire from showbiz out of the blue?â Justin asked.
âErm, my mom said that Celeste was suspected of taking illegal drugs and was canceled. It was a
pretty huge deal back then, and
Celeste was nearly ruined. Chairman Thompson later cleared her name, but the damage was already
done. Since she lost her fame, she simply retired from the limelight. Iâve got to give it to Chairman
Thompson. Heâs been lucky in the dating scene. He came to the rescue when Celeste needed help the
most. I guess no woman can resist a knight in shining armor.â
lan said while glancing at Justin. There was a hint of sarcasm in his undertones.
As expected, Justin tensed his jawline and was hurt by the remark.
That was not the end. âIf I can be blunt, your former father-in-law has a lot of wives, and yet they are all
one big family. His wives are committed to him. You canât even deal with the young madam. Maybe you
should meet with Chairman Thompson and get some word of advice from him.â
Justin grimaced and hissed through clenched teeth. âAdvice from him? So you want me to ask
Chairman Thompson about how to nail his daughter? Have you lost it?â
