Chapter 711

"If 1 knew this would happen... I wouldn't have gone abroad. Why did I leave...” Anne was filled withregret, and warm tears welled up in her eyes.

"Who would've known such a thing would happen? It's not your fault.” Sarah felt sorry for Anne andalso for Nigel

Sometimes, Sarah did not know who she should feel sorry for among the three. In truth, her own lifewas not easy.

As she thought about it, she realized her life was simply too harsh.

“After your dad broke up with me, I was so angry that I cursed him every day. Why did I want tosuffer so much to give birth to his child while he enjoyed his life? Especially the day I gave birth toyou, I was in pain the entire time, and I wanted to slap Nigel so badly... I always thought that he'dlived a very comfortable life with his daughter after he remarried. But I didn't expect that it hadn'tbeen easy for him...” Sarah's eyes were red, and the more she spoke, the sadder she became. Then,she added, “I shouldn't have hidden my pregnancy. I regret it so much...”

“Mom, it's the past. Don't think about it anymore. I guess this is our fate...” Anne looked at Nigel,who had obviously lost a lot of weight, and felt distressed. Later, she stood up and sat next to him,massaging his legs.

Sarah did not say anything. She would also massage Nigel from time to time as Kathryn advisedthem to massage Nigel often to prevent muscular dystrophy from lying down for long periods.

It did not matter if they did not massage Nigel now. However, Anne took the time to come over,and Sarah let her do as she wished to calm herself down, knowing that Anne was feeling terrible.“Mom, do you want to see the children? I'll try to tell Anthony to let them come here,” Anne said.“Is...that okay? I really miss them, but I'm afraid he'll become ruthless as before if you make such arequest just when he allows you to meet them.” Sarah was worried.

Anne pursed her lips. “I think it should be fine. I'll just say it's for them to see Grandpa, and maybeGrandpa will wake up when he hears their voices?”

After having lunch with Sarah, Anne left the hospital and returned to the company. As soon as sheentered the office, Ken knocked on the door and came in.

When they were done discussing the work arrangement, Ken asked, “Ms. Vallois, three femaleassistants will come to interview tomorrow morning. Do you want to be there in person?”

"Yes. What time?”

“I set it to be at ten o'clock. What do you think? If it's too early or too late, I'll change the time,” Kensaid.

“No need. Ten o'clock will be fine.” Anne was recruiting a female assistant, so she naturally wantedto replace one she liked. After all, they would have to be in touch all the time. Then, she thought ofsomething and asked, “Do I have anything scheduled for the afternoon?”

"Yes, you and the sales manager will meet Mr. Kennedy at two,” Ken informed.

Anne looked at the time and thought it would be too late to replace Anthony if she had to meet Mr.Kennedy at two. Even though she wanted to bring the children to meet Grandpa, she could notneglect one of the company’s important clients. Moreover, she had just become the head of thecompany, so she must show the attitude of a leader.

However, Mr. Kennedy was also reluctant to work together with Nigel before, not because ofpersonal grievance but driven by interests.

Nonetheless, It was understandable as a businessman would only go wherever beneficial for them.Now that something happened to her father, Mr. Kennedy would be even more reluctant tocooperate. If Anne could not persuade Mr. Kennedy, it would simply be too unfortunate to lose suchan important client...

“Ms. Vallois, is there something wrong?” Ken asked when he noticed that Anne was in a daze.
