Chris smiled and said, “She’s in a bad mood today, so she’s been cold toward everyone. Don’t hold it against her.”
Silvia nodded. “How’s your body?”
“It’s an old problem. I told Katherine I was fine, but she insisted that I should be hospitalized.”
“It’s good to have a checkup. You don’t have to worry about it later.”
“Yeah. What brings you here today? I’ve been seeing you on TV in the past six months. Your company’s developing really well, but you have to look after yourself too. You’ve slimmed down a lot.”
As he spoke, there was a hint of pity in his eyes.
Silvia raised her eyebrows with surprise. “Really? It’s all about being thin now. I’d be delighted if I actually slimmed down!”
“You’re already very beautiful. If you get any thinner, it won’t be good for your health.”
“You’d better take care of yourself first. You’re the one being hospitalized,” she teased.
Chris smiled. Just as he was about to reply, he suddenly had a severe headache. It was as if someone was chiseling his head with a hammer, and it hurt terribly.
“Urgh!”
He suddenly held his head in hands, and his face became distorted. The blue veins on his forehead and arms popped up as well. He could not bear the pain, and he wanted to hit himself against the wall.
Silvia grabbed his arm with one hand while she pressed the bell on the headboard with the other.
Soon, a dozen doctors and nurses rushed inside. After they injected a painkiller into his body, he slowly calmed down.
Silvia frowned. While she wondered why Chris’s condition was so severe, she heard a surprised voice behind her.
“Silvia, why are you here?”
She turned around and unexpectedly saw Winston. “Why are you here, Winston?”
He did not answer. Instead, he walked forward with a frown and asked, “Why have you lost so much weight?”
Seeing that he was upset, she immediately nodded. “Okay. Thank you very much, Winston.”
He held himself back for a while, but he eventually asked, “Has Neil been treating you well?”
“Quite well,” she said softly.
“Quite well? Yet, you’ve become so thin in just half a year?”
“Don’t blame him. He’s been restructuring Remus Corporation for the past six months, so he’s been working day and night. Besides, I’m not a child.”
When Winston saw the way she defended Neil, he spoke with a darkened expression, “If he treats you badly, I won’t spare him!”
“Alright, that’s enough. I won’t allow myself to be harmed.”
He snorted and stopped commenting on the matter.
“Oh yeah, why are you here, Winston?”
