President’s Secret Obsession With Ex-wife

Daniel had a dream about Ava, who was his ex-wife and Victoria’s mom, and woke up filled with guilt.

It was probably because the anniversary of her death had just passed that he had such a dream, and at the moment he felt very sorry for Victoria.

Nick was really good, but if his daughter didn’t like him, then he was pushing her into the fire.

To be fair, Victoria never let him worry about it.

Nowadays it only felt like a growing distance from this daughter.

A flicker of anger crossed Cynthia’s eyes; the older people got, the more they got soft; in the past, she’d egged her on a few times and Daniel would listen.

But now was the time when he was weak, plus the anniversary of his ex-wife’s death had just passed, for a moment only thinking a little too much.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Don’t you think too much about it. You’ve been good enough to Tori, it’s mainly her own bad character. You’ve forgotten how Mrs. Andrews treated us today? If Tori was of some use, Mrs. Andrews will give us a little face.”

Daniel thought of Elizabeth, covered his mouth and started coughing.

What Elizabeth said was really over the top, but since Victoria did marry Nick in the first place for the $300 million in financing, he had nothing to say about it.

Elizabeth looked down on their family and his daughter for saying that.

“Daniel, Linda is just so heartbroken for you. If she wasn’t in really bad health, I guess she would have come over to see you already. I didn’t even dare to mention it to her about you being hospitalized, and Gavin just called, saying that he wants you to rest more, and that you don’t need to worry much about the company, and that you’ve already asked someone to take him on, and that he’ll learn more.”

Daniel’s face looked a lot better, Linda and Gavin did know better than Tori, who was too strong, never relied on him, and a lot of the time made him feel like he had no presence as a father.

“Tori really isn’t as sensible as Linda.”

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, there were footsteps at the door; it was Victoria who had returned and happened to hear the words.

Daniel burst into a fit of embarrassment, his face changing and changing.

Victoria, however, lowered her lashes and set the nutritious meal she’d brought on a sideboard.

“Dad, are you hungry? Eat something first.”

Daniel opened his mouth to explain, but realized he didn’t know where to start, so he sighed, “Good.”

After taking a bite of porridge, he inquired, “When can I be discharged?”

Victoria had already spoken to the doctor not to mention Daniel’s condition to anyone but her for the time being, and since surgery wasn’t in the cards right now, she might as well let him go through the year in peace.

“The doctor recommended that you rest in the hospital for half a month first.”

“How can half a month work? The company still has a bunch of things waiting for me to deal with, and you also know that the company is about to raise a second round of financing, I can’t be sloppy at this time.”

Victoria inexplicably felt a pang of anger, if he had come to the hospital earlier when he wasn’t feeling well, he wouldn’t be in the late stages of liver cancer.

“Dad, is the body or the company important?”

Daniel sensed Victoria’s mood was off and stopped talking, while his heart softened a bit.

Victoria still cared about him.

“Fine, I’ll turn all my meetings online and just rest in the hospital for the next half month.”

Cynthia saw a rare cozy moment between the two of them and just hated it so much she gritted her teeth and couldn’t help but get mad, “You don’t see how your father got this disease, if you served Nick right, would Elizabeth have to talk about us like that?!”

Victoria didn’t want to argue with Cynthia in front of Daniel anymore, it just upset Daniel.

“Dad, get some rest then, and don’t leave the hospital for the next half month, I’ll have the doctor keep me in touch.”

Cynthia was instantly enraged at being ignored and was just about to curse when she heard Daniel say, “Alright, don’t always make trouble out of nothing.”

The comment made Cynthia’s face go blank, and realizing that she would annoy Daniel if she was being unreasonable, so she shut up.

Daniel looked at Victoria, his tone soft, “I’m fine! I’ll just stay at the hospital for the next half month. Tori, I haven’t talked to you in a while either, I did neglect you for the past two years, if you’re free, come visit me, okay?”

Victoria only felt a rush of red in her eyes, lest she give away her emotions if she stayed any longer.

“Well, I’ll be around a lot.” Victoria said this and left.

By the time she reached the hospital floor, all she could feel was a chill down her spine.

On the other hand, over at Edward’s mansion, the group was gathered together in a joyous gathering, and by now had finished their dinner.

Nick had just gotten up to leave when Mr. Andrews once again pulled him back to persuade him, “You need to take Grandpa’s words to heart and bring a gift to see Daniel this week.”
