The caregiver handed me the phone. I checked the call history. It was a temporary online number that
couldn’t be dialed.
Now I only had one solution, which was to check the hospital’s surveillance.
I requested that the hospital allow me to view the surveillance. They agreed but said it would take some
time.
I then dismissed this caregiver and hired another one, emphasizing that I needed 24 hour care. I was
willing to pay more for this.
For two days in a row, I was taking care of both my mom and the company’s affairs with hardly any
rest. After work, I drove home and fell asleep in the
car.
‘Knock, knock!”
The sound of knocking on the car window woke me up. It was already pitch dark outside with the dim
light from the street lamp.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNeil’s face appeared outside the car window. Then I rolled down the window.
“You’re sleeping in the car, arent you afraid of danger?” Neil asked.
“No. What’s up?” As soon as I finished speaking. I realized my voice was hoarse.
Neil seemed a bit annoyed while listening to me talk, “Haven’t you been sleeping these past few days?
You look like you’re sick right now.”
look in the pirror every day, so of course I know I look worn out, but there was nothing I could do.
I rubbed my eyes, then got out of the car, “Yeah. I’m going to sleep now.”
Just then, a voice came from afar, “Mr. Iceberg!”
I looked over it was Kitty
When Kitty saw me, she looked surprised. She came over, looked at Neil and then at me, then
laughed, “Mr. Iceberg, you live next to your ex-wife?”
When Neil saw Kitty, he immediately gave her an unhappy look. He asked, “How did you get in?”
“Humph, is this yours?” Kitty held out an ID card With this card, she could come and go freely
How did Neil’s card end up with her? I recalled she saying that she was going after Neil. I even gave
her Neil’s contact information.
Their progress was quite fast.

Neil snatched the card from her and said with a grim face, “You can leave now”
“Aren’t
you rude? Shouldn’t you be inviting me for a coffee as a thank you?” Kitty sneered.
“I might need to thank others, but not you” Neil retorted disdainfully
Listening on the side, I felt a familiar and intimate vibe. Neil’s attitude towards Kitty seemed much more
genuine than towards Bonnie
“You guys chat. I’m going back to sleep.” I said tiredly and turned to leave.
“Why is your voice so hoarse? I have throat lozenges. Try one!” Kitty spoke again. She took out a
throat lozenge for me, beaming brighter than the
summer sun.
She seemed to have an extra lip piercing, making her look more rebellious.
I put the lozenge in my mouth, then casually asked, “Do you always carry throat lozenges?”
1 don’t usually, but since Neil often scolds his subordinates, I’m afraid he’ll damage his throat, so I
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbought some for him.” Kitty handed the box of lozenges to Neil, “Here, don’t be shy”
Neil coldly looked at the box, “When did I ever scold my subordinates?”
Kitty waved her hand, “No need to explain. I heard it all when you didn’t hang up the phone.”
The orange-flavored lozenge in my mouth was a bit sour and sweet, it was quite tasty, but I felt a bit
uncomfortable.
I seemed to see a bit of my past self in Kitty, I, too, once chased after Neil like this but didn’t get this
kind of response.
While they were busy gabbing, I swung open the gates and strolled into the yard, then closed the door
behind me
Neil, realizing I’d bailed again, came charging over. “You’ve gotta go to the hospital. You wanna get sick
at home again?”.
“No need. My body, my rules. I don’t need you sticking your nose into my business” I snapped. Lack of
sleep was probably messing up my hormones;! was feeling all over the place.
From behind him, Kitty started cracking up. “Hahaha, Mr. Iceberg, looks like your ex wife is giving you
the cold shoulder again!”
