Chapter 152
Silvia frowned again and said with displeasure, “I never intended to flirt with him. Why would you think that?
“Well, it just appeared that way to me.”
Silvia was speechless,
She had no idea what was going on in Neil’s mind.
She looked out of the window and stopped paying attention to him. For a brief moment, she considered running a background ch*ck on Liam.
However, she soon gave up on the idea. After her divorce from Neil, she would have no connection to
the Remus Family. Besides, even if Liam was dangerous, he had no reason to harm her.
With that thought, her concerns disappeared instantly.
Meanwhile, Melanie immediately called Jake upon returning to the Remus Family
“Jake, Liam’s back!”
In less than half an hour, Jake returned as well.
“What happened?”
mansion.
Jake was heading to Harmony Yard when he received a call from Melanie. He promptly returned once
he heard about Liam.
“He appeared unexpectedly just as Madam Remus was about to cut the cake. Do you think he’s back to fight for Remus Corporation?”
If Sean Remus and Beatrice Gould never died in that car accident and if Liam had not suddenly disappeared, Neil might not have become the president of Remus Corporation.
Jake’s expression turned serious. He shook his head and said, “I’m not sure. We’ll have to wait and see. Neil’s been in charge of Remus Corporation all these years. It’s okay if all Liam wants is a couple of shares. But if he’s trying to take control of Remus Corporation, it won’t be a simple task.
Melanie frowned and grumbled, “Why return after all this time?”
She wished that Liam never returned for the rest of his life.
Jake glared at her and sternly said, “At the end of the day, Liam is still my nephew. Since his parents have passed away, I’ll treat him as a son from now on. Don’t let me hear you grumbling about him. again. If you do, don’t be surprised when I lose my temper!”
His stern words frightened Melanie. Her face turned pale as she mumbled, “I understand.
“I have some work to handle at the company, so I’ll head back to take care of it. I won’t be returning tonight.”
Chapter 152
Melanie watched him walk away with a mix of disappointment and frustration. She felt helpless. Their marriage was primarily a business arrangement, and she knew that he did not love her,
Over the next month, Winston would give Neil a massage on a daily basis. Gradually, his legs began to show signs of recovery.
One evening, Winston asked Neil to stand up and take a few steps after the massage.
Silvia eagerly looked on as Neil slowly took a few steps forward. Intense pain shot through his legs, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. However, he did not whine about it. He walked around the room for ten minutes before returning to his wheelchair.
Winston nodded and said, “Mr. Remus, with daily rehabilitation, you should be able to stand on your
feet in about two weeks.”
Neil’s expression remained unchanged. He showed no joy at the idea of his legs getting better.
“You’ve worked hard, Dr. Russell. How much do I owe you for these sessions? I’ll have my secretary transfer the payment to your account.”
Winston did not hesitate to accept the payment. “A million will do. I’ll share my account details with Miss Pond later.”
“Alright.”
After Winston left, Silvia looked at Neil and asked, “Mr. Remus, your legs are going to heal. Aren’t you happy?”
“Lam.”
Despite what he said, she could not detect any signs of happiness in his expression.
“I’ll fill the tub for your bath.”
As Neil remained silent, Silvia headed to the bathroom to prepare his bath.
While watching the water rise in the tub, her mind began to wander.
Once Neil’s legs healed, they would probably get a divorce.
The thought of it filled her heart with a strange sensation.
Perhaps she and Neil had been spending a lot of time together lately, so the idea of their impending separation made her uneasy.
While she was lost in thought, Neil’s voice rang out outside the bathroom.
“Silvia, Grandma fainted, and she’s been taken to the hospital!”
