The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 1047

Danielle put down her phone and looked at the contents of the boxes. She had never told Harold what kind of supplements she liked, nor had she mentioned Niki's wish for blind boxes. Yet he had remembered such specific details.

That evening, Niki came home from school, and her eyes lit up the moment she saw the boxes in the living room. "Mom, what's all this?" "They're from Uncle Harold," Danielle said with a smile. "There's a surprise inside for you." Niki ran over and opened a smaller box, which was indeed filled with the collectible blind box toys she had been obsessed with. She let out a cheer and immediately sat on the floor to open them. Soon, she had unboxed her favorite little rabbit figurine and carefully placed it on the living room display shelf, adjusting its angle several times to make sure it was perfectly visible.

Danielle watched her daughter's happy display with a soft smile before picking up her laptop. Settling onto the sofa, she began catching up on work. The collaboration project between Ninesky and Cole had reached a critical stage, and there were many details to confirm with the team. She couldn't let her illness delay their progress.

At seven o'clock sharp, Danielle started the online meeting. Gian and the other core team members were already waiting. As soon as the meeting began, Gian spoke up, his face full of remorse. "Danielle, I'm so sorry. I missed your call yesterday when you were sick. My phone was busy all day and then the battery died. I only saw your messages this morning. Are you alright?" "I'm fine, already out of the hospital. Thanks for asking," Danielle replied with a reassuring smile. "But now's not the time for that. Let's focus on the project details."

Gian looked like he wanted to say more, but Danielle cut him off gently. "It's really fine. You have your own work to worry about. Don't give it another thought." The meeting officially began. Team members reported on the project's progress one by one, discussing everything from the technical integration plan to the marketing strategy in meticulous detail. Danielle listened intently, interjecting with her opinions. When it came to Cole's technical requirements, she provided a thorough explanation of Ninesky's proposed solutions to ensure everyone was on the same page.

Halfway through the meeting, Gian noticed Danielle's pale complexion and couldn't help but interrupt. "Danielle, you haven't fully recovered yet. Maybe we should stop here for today?" "We can discuss the rest tomorrow. You need to take it easy and not push yourself so hard." "No," Danielle said, shaking her head firmly. "Ninesky is in a crucial growth phase, and this partnership with Cole is too important for us to afford any delays. I'm fine, I can keep going."

The other team members also urged her to rest, but she insisted on finishing the meeting. Left with no other choice, they picked up the pace and focused on finalizing the details. The online meeting finally concluded at eleven o'clock that night. Danielle closed her laptop, rubbing her temples to ease the dull ache. She felt sore all over. She stood up, walked to the window, and stretched as she gazed at the city lights.

Just then, her phone vibrated. It was a message from Harold: "Still working? Don't stay up too late. Remember to get some rest. I made you some soup; I'll have the housekeeper bring it over tomorrow." Danielle looked at the message. She replied: "Just finished. Heading to bed now. Thank you for the soup, but you don't have to go to all this trouble."

The next day was the official contract signing ceremony between Cole and Ninesky. As the lead technical director, Danielle stood by the signing table in a tailored white pantsuit, chatting quietly with Cole's Chief Technology Officer, Davies. With a technical agreement held loosely between her fingers, she calmly and professionally clarified the final details for their upcoming integration, a perfectly measured smile on her lips.
