At noon, the sunshine was scorchingly hot.
The shutter fell down, which shut out most of the strong sunlight. The air- conditioning inside the office was very agreeable, and it was comfortable to stay there.
Tina didn't go to the canteen for lunch. Instead, she asked her colleague to buy some takeaways for her.
While she was eating the takeaways, Tina was talking to Malee Chiang on the phone.
After listening to Tina's narration, Malee was no less shocked than Tina herself. "... So Uncle Koo's cancer is fake?"
"Yes!" Tina nodded.
Malee exclaimed in a low voice, "This is too despicable! In order to be with you, Dylan not only cursed his father, but also tried to trap you by moral kidnapping... I haven't expected that somebody Dylan would do such a thing!"
Tina's reaction was the same as Malee's.
She couldn't believe that it was Dylan who did it.
Although Dylan had a handsome and cool face, he had in fact always been a gentleman, somebody whose kindness was undeniable.
When he had just returned to the home country,
Dylan's heart was full of hatred and resentment against Tina, but when he drove her home one day, he took the initiative to open the door of the car door for Tina. This was what a gentleman should do to a lady.
Now, what he had done was limitlessly immoral, which made others completely disappointed with him.
Tina pursed her lips. "I'm just worried about Uncle Koo..."
Malee asked, "Tina, do you think that Uncle Koo still wishes that Dylan and you could get married even if his cancer has been confirmed to be nonexistent?"
"Uh-huh." Tina hummed.
She sighed and added, "Ever since uncle learned about the secret of five years ago, he felt very apologetic to me, and thought that he had let down my mother's wish! He believed that Lilith was the one who put obstacles in the way between Dylan and me, that the two of us still had affection for each other!"
It was true. If Tina directly told Aspry that she no longer loved Dylan, he might not believe her words.
At the same time, it was unsuitable for Tina to tell him that she had fallen in love with someone else.
What's more, she couldn't take the person she loved so deeply to the hospital...
Tina frowned and was at a loss. "I don't know what to do to make Uncle Koo understand that it's absolutely impossible for Dylan and me to be
together again!"
Malee gave her a suggestion. "That's quite easy. Find a man randomly, or find a blind-date target, and then the two of you call upon Aspry and made it clear your position. He'll give up his wish completely!"
Tina hung up the phone and reflected upon Malee's words.
She put down her chopsticks and came over to her colleague sitting in front of the nearby desk. "Bonnie, can you do me a favor..."
A week later...
Tina went to the high-class hospital once again.
However, she was not alone this time. She was accompanied by someone else.
Tina had brought with her a man wearing glasses who was strange to everybody. In fact, it was the first time for Tina and this man to meet each other.
She told Aspry that this was her new blind-date target.
Tina made it very clear to Aspry.
Since the cancer diagnosis turned out to be fake, there was no need for her to continue pretending that she would accept Dylan as her husband.
However, Aspry still cherished the hope that someday his son and Tina could become two lovers again.
The goal for Tina to bring a blind-date target to the ward was to indirectly demonstrate her attitude to Aspry, that the love relationship between Dylan and her was completely over. If ever she wanted to start a new love relationship, her lover would definitely not be Dylan.
Aspry was silent for a long time, and then he sighed. "Well... Tina, I understand your viewpoint this time. I will not ask too much about your love affairs in the future. You're always free to make your own choice! Uncle will give you the best wishes!"
As an experienced man, how could Aspry not understand the message Tina wanted to convey indirectly?
It was quite impossible for Tina to fall in love so rapidly and deeply with the blind- date target brought over there by her in such a short period of time.
There was no doubt that she only wanted to make her stance clear in s sinuous manner.
Aspry now realized that the love relationship between Dylan and Tina was a river of no return. He decided not to cause any more pressure on Tina in the future. Even so, he still felt sorry for the two children.
