Wife Back 91

    Chris <b>really </b>wanted to curse, but his upbringing didn’t allow it.


    <b>He </b>only said, <b>“</b>Did that old man deserve to die?“.


    “Are you home?” Jessica’s voice was very soft, with the sound of wind in the background. It seemed she had just finished work and hadn’t returned to the hotel yet.


    Jessica had learned about today’s events from the hospital and called Chris tofort him.


    <b>“</b>You did nothing wrong. No one should pay for his mistakes. Don feel pressured,<b>” </b>Jessica said.


    Chris supported his head, feeling a bit ufortable.


    <b>“</b>I don’t feel pressured. I just made the right decision. I just didn’t expect it would cause an old man to pass away. From what <b>my </b>colleagues said, he was a very good person.”


    “That’s not your fault either.”


    Jessica stood under the hotel<b>, </b>gestured to Shannon to go upstairs <b>first</b><b>, </b>then stood near the flowerbed making a call.


    “Not in a good mood? Didn’t go out to eat?”


    Chris said, “After something like this happens<b>, </b>no one has the mood. I canceled the meal at the Cosmos.”


    “Well, you still have to eat. I’ve already approved the dismissal procedures for Ben. Don’t think too much<b>.</b>”


    After talking with Jessica on the phone for a long time<b>, </b>the room was still dark.


    He didn’t turn on the light, letting himself slowly drift into sleep in the familiar environment.


    He was so tired that he fell asleep on the sofa.


    Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, waking him up.


    He nced at his watch, it was just past eleven<b>. </b>He had slept less than half an hour.


    Rubbing his eyes, he got up to open the door, curious who it could be.


    When he opened the door, it was Ben standing there.


    Originally, Chris didn’t want to argue with Ben. Even if Ben was being sarcastic, he always showed good temper and a good face.


    But now,


    Chris’s face was cold as he tried to close the door.


    “How did you know where I live?”


    Ben carried quite a few things in his hands, seemingly gifts to try to smooth things over.


    Ben smiled in a ttering way, no longer with the cold expression from before.


    “I… I asked in the rtions department, <b>I</b><b>…</b>”


    Ben stepped forward trying to bring the medicine inside, but Chris, tall and long–legged, stood at the door<b>, </b>not stepping aside.


    “If you have something to <b>say</b><b>, </b>just say it.”


    Ben’s face was a bit stiff, but he still put all the things on the floor.


    “At my age, if I get fired by the hospital, no one will want me. I… I know it was my fault. I ept the surgery failure. <b>I </b>can pay thepensation to the family myself. Can you not fire me? I’m willing to transfer to logistics. It was all my fault before. Mr. Green,


    I…”


    Chapter 91.


    <b>Chris </b><b>raised </b><b>his </b><b>hand </b><b>to </b>interrupt and didn’t continue listening.


    <b>Your </b><b>dismissal </b><b>procedures </b>have <b>already </b>been approved. You’ll receive the papers In a few days. How <b>you </b>negotiate with the <b>family </b><b>members </b><b>is </b><b>your </b>business<b>, </b>but the hospital cannot keep <b>you </b>anymore.


    <b>Ben’s </b><b>face </b>darkened, and <b>the </b>hallway lights seemed to dim as well


    “Mr. Green<b>, </b>please show some mercy<b>, </b>okay?” said Ben.


    Chris sneered and leaned against the doorframe.


    <b>“</b><b>What</b><b>, </b>you’re threatening me now?”


    Ben shook his head.


    <b>“</b>Not really a threat. I just think it’s unreasonable for someone your age to be chairman. If I send a file to court asking them to look into you<b>, </b>do you think you’llst long in this position? Better we settle this now<b>, </b><b>so </b>no one troubles the other.”


    It seemed that Ben still hadn’t realized his mistakes.


    Chris remained indifferent, kicked the gifts out with his foot.


    “Go find a ce to sue me then.”
