She sniffled and said to herself in her heart, "Lily, you silly girl. Quin is his wife. They are married by law. Being able to stay beside him is the best thing you can get. You shouldn’t have any other thoughts."
With that thought in mind, Lily raised her hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes.
Fade sensed Lily's movements, and his heart trembled. He suddenly understood something. He couldn't help but feel guilty towards Lily, and said, "Lily, I'm sorry, I..."
After saying the words "I'm sorry", he didn't know what else to say.
Lily trembled slightly at Fade's voice. Then, she waved her hand and said, "Fade, you don't have to say sorry to me. I understand. I'm fine."
With that, Lily strode out.
Watching her retreating figure, Fade sighed and whispered, "Lily, I am sorry. Thank you for your hard work. After Quin is cured, I will definitely compensate you well."
Fade spent another day with Quin in the hotel.
His business was worsening each day as the pressure from the competing Li family grew.
However, Fade was not in the mood to care for that. What he was most concerned about was the Fire Blame Plant.
Five days had passed since Fenrir had been cured. Although it had yet to be one week, as specified in the contract, Fade was beginning to feel a little impatient.
For the past few days, he had called Martin and Sasha several times, asking about the Fire Blame Plant.
However, they always said it was still going through the mandatory transfer procedures on Earlington's side. They assured Fade that he should not be worried. After the formality procedures were completed, the Fire Blame Plant would be delivered immediately.
On that day, Fade called Sasha again to ask about the Fire Blame Plant. Her response was similar.
Fade really couldn't wait any longer. He put on a coat and headed out.
An hour later, Fade arrived at the entrance of The Li's Hospital.
Looking at the crowd of people at the entrance door, Fade's gaze was stony.
He released a small burst of his positive energy, he shook the crowd away, and walked into the hospital quickly.
"Sir, if you want to see a doctor, you need to queue up to register. I..." When the reception counter staff saw Fade walk straight into the hospital, they stopped him and reminded him.
Fade said coldly, "I don't want to see a doctor. I am looking for your director, Sasha."
"Miss Li?" The front desk was taken aback. Then, she asked, "Are you looking for Miss Li? Do you have an appointment with her, sir?"
Fade frowned and said, "I didn't make an appointment with her. Go tell Miss Li that Fade is here to see her."
"Sir, this is impossible. Miss Li is very busy. It is impossible for someone to see Miss Li without an appointment. If you..." They said as they beckoned the security guard to come over.
"Sasha, Fade made a lot of losses this time. In just a few days, the cosmetics business of his Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc branch dropped by 30%. The business of the Sincere Medicine Center has also declined by more than half. I heard that the Chief Executive is a little dissatisfied and unhappy about it," the young man continued.
Sasha smiled and said, "It's great that the Chief Executive is dissatisfied. It'll be even better if they revoke the Sincere Medicine Center's merits right away. It would be better if the medical reform plan of the pharmaceutical industry cooperates directly with our Chinese Medicine Hospital."
"If this continues, that might be possible. After all, Fade is really over. I haven't seen him go to the pharmacy to deal with the business recently," the man said.
Sasha curled her lips in disdain, and said, "I heard that the guy's wife is sick, and he has been spending time with her in the hotel. Hehe, Fade's a big man who doesn't do big important things but stays indoor all day just for a woman. He is really useless."
"Compared to you, Sasha, Fade is obviously useless," the man complimented. "Perhaps Fade wants the Fire Blame Plant for his wife."
Sasha said in a disdainful tone, "I don't care who he wants it for! The Fire Blame Plant, he'd better not even think about getting it anymore."
The man was taken aback, and then he was surprised. He asked, "Sister Sasha, what do you mean by that! Do you mean that you are not going to give Fade the Fire Blame Plant? But, the contract..."
Sasha said, "We acquired the Fire Blame Plant at the price of 20 billion Micovia dollars. 20 billion Micovia dollars; that is more than 100 billion yuan. That's a lot of money, even if we give it to him, would he dare to take it?"
"But, if Fade finds out about this, I'm afraid he won't let this go," the man said in concern.
Sasha said in a nonchalant tone, "He won't let this go? What can he do if he doesn't let this go? Does he really dare to confront my family?"
"That's true, Sasha. You are the daughter of the Li family. Who would dare fight against you!" The young man said, laughing.
