Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1631

She only had Fermin and Bert left in this world.

She had no mom and no real friends. She couldn't lose Bert or watch Fermin turn into this.

She didn't want Debra's crew hurt either.

Fermin pulled her into a hug. "Don't worry. Dad will be fine. I'll make sure of it."

His promise unleashed her tears. The hospital hallway echoed with her cries.

Once she calmed down, Fermin had someone take her away.

A guard stepped up. "Mr. Eaton, our master is waiting ahead."

"You've tailed me this whole way," Fermin said coldly. "Gonna keep it up? I don't like shadows."

The guards stayed silent, just following orders. If their boss said stick to Fermin, they'd die before leaving his side.

"Loyal dogs to your master," Fermin scoffed, brushing past them.

He walked into an empty ward. A tall figure in a white shirt stood by the window.

"The heart is on its way," Michael smiled. "Mr. Eaton Sr. has weathered storms. This little hiccup won't kill him."

"I said terms, not fluff."

"Well, make the Eaton family the Illuminati's rock-solid backup. Mr. Eaton Sr. is too old to handle things anymore. We'll need your support down the line."

"Be your puppet? Your boss has sorted it all out."

"You're joking. You're one of us."
