The substitute bride is a mute novel Chapter 48

The scent of the scented candle filled Clark's office at the Reid Incorporated headquarters. Combined with the aroma of boiling tea leaves, they created a soothing environment.

Although Clark was a young man, he had a modest sense of living. Added this to his stoic, no-nonsense look, these had given him a much-respected spot in the company and made him the successor at a very young age.

"Mr. Reid, the discussion for the Platinum East project had gone pretty well. Here's the latest update of it," Jeremy said.

Clark took the documents from Jeremy and flipped through them while seated on the sofa. "Any news from the hospital?"

"The operation was successful," Jeremy quickly answered. "Mrs. Reid has been personally taking care of Mrs. Dean. She's recovering very well and will be discharged in a week.

"I found that Mrs. Reid has also been looking for houses too."

"Looking for houses? For what?" Clark asked.

"I think it's for Mrs. Dean when she is discharged," Jeremy said. "They lived in the Blake mansion previously.

"But since Mrs. Reid is married, Mrs. Dean will have no relatives left at the Blakes. So I believe she wouldn't want to return there."

Jeremy's explanation was plausible. After all, considering Judy's status in the Blake family, Lilly would never live a day in peace in the Blake mansion.

Clark pondered and said, "Try to arrange something for the house, Jeremy. But do it secretly."

Jeremy was confused but still replied, "Yes, sir."

Wasn't Clark always unconcerned with Judy? He was very unpredictable.

…

At the hospital, Judy had been accompanying Lilly for a few days. Seeing Lilly getting more energetic day by day, Judy felt relieved.

Dominic came for a ward visit early in the morning. To prevent her from getting a postoperative infection, they transferred Lilly to a single-bed ward, which was quieter than previously.

"You've recovered very well, Mrs. Dean. Considering your performance, you might be able to discharge even sooner." Dominic smiled as he kept his stethoscope in his lab coat pocket.
