"Are you okay? Someone please get me the chef." Noah said as he became concerned about Meghan, whose eyes were red and she was still smiling; he wondered what made her smile and why her eyes were red.

"Can I get some water here now?" Noah spoke with urgency, as he was concerned about Meghan and did not intend to kill her on their first lunch date.

The restaurant was in disarray as they all gathered around Noah's table and the waiter brought the water, while the chef arrived, already agitated and hoping that it was not a complaint because it was his first day in the kitchen, and he was warned by another chef that even though the recipes were the same, people could always tell that the chef had changed, but they were still encouraged to give it his all.

The whole events messed up in her head, and she wondered what all of this was happening to her. She also wished that if her husband was more financially bouyant, she might not have gone through all these hurdles. What amazed her was when he came over to take her the heiress to live in staff quarters; it was the most disgraceful thing he had done to her, but she thought that the bar could not get any lower for Gavin to embarrass her, and she began to doubt if he loved her or even cared about her at all. She has pleaded with him repeatedly to get a better job with his qualifications, but he always refuses her offers, leading her to believe that he was intentionally punishing her by forcing her to care for the family on her own.She was mentally exhausted

    Scarlet's father was sweating profusely in the hospital's president's office, and the president had to calm him down by informing him that if he knew any information that could save his daughter and was holding it back, it could lead to his daughter's death, so he should speak up."My daughter is mixed," the inspector informed the president, who was still trying to understand what he was saying."She is mixed how, please speak in clear terms so that I and my staff can know how to help your daughter survive this," the hospital president said, tired of the inspector's evasiveness."The thing is that she is my daughter, but her mother is different; her mother died at a young age during our early marriage, when she was only a few months old, so I married again quickly, and that is how she is.
