His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 734

Derrick heaved a heavy sigh and looked out the window over his shoulder. “He’s a grownup now, and there’s no way I can keep him by my side. He has his way of thinking. Just let him be.”

“No matter what, he should stay by your side now that you’re sick.”

Before Joseph could continue, Derrick cut him off. “Forget it. If he doesn’t return, then so be it. I’ll just pretend I never had a son. I’m getting a bit tired, so you should leave.”

Joseph wanted to say something, but Derrick had already closed his eyes, looking exhausted. The younger brother got up to say goodbye to Derrick and his wife. “I’ll visit some other day, okay? Don’t worry about the company. I’ll manage it well.” He paused and saw Derrick’s eyes still closed as if asleep.

Stephanie wiped her tears and said, “I’ll see you off.”

She followed Joseph out the door and stopped at the elevator. “I won’t go downstairs with you since your brother still needs me. I don’t know much about the business, so I’m counting on you guys to put extra effort into running it, okay?”

As she turned to leave, Joseph stopped her. “What did the doctor say about his condition?”

“The doctor says he has been overworked and has to recuperate. It shouldn’t be too… serious.” Stephanie heaved a sigh and looked downward. Although she tried to sound casual, she was evidently holding back her tears.

“That’s good. Then… where did Benedict go? Why don’t I give him a call? I’m still his uncle, after all. Perhaps he might listen to me.”

“No, there’s no need!” Stephanie looked flustered as she shook her head. “He’s held up by something and will be back soon. No, don’t rush him. Go. Don’t worry. I’ll be here taking care of your brother.” She turned and headed toward the ward, wiping her tears.
