Chapter 1818: Reaching an Agreement
The two elders exchanged a glance, wondering what conditions there could be. Then their gaze shifted back to their daughter's face simultaneously. Belinda had no idea what her conditions could be, but as long as she was willing to acknowledge her, she would do her best to fulfill them.
Monica took the opportunity to speak up, "You two should remarry."
"... Both of them felt shocked.
There was a brief moment of silence in the room. This answer was quite unexpected!
Algerone felt a bit embarrassed and taken aback, as did Belinda.
"Unless you remarry," Monica's tone was firm as she stated her position, "I won't agree to anything else."
"It's not..." Belinda was getting a little confused, "Monica, these are two separate matters. Don't mix them up."
Algerone, on the other hand, was actually quite eager to remarry. He had already made preparations, and the roses in the yard were about to bloom. He planned to propose to her among the flowers as soon as she was discharged from the hospital.
He even had a custom-made ring prepared secretly.
So, Algerone played it smart. He didn't say anything, wanting to gauge Belinda's reaction.
"I know they are two separate matters," Monica said to them, "but this is my only wish, and I want it fulfilled before I acknowledge them."
"... Silence.
She continued, "And your relationship is not as bad as it used to be. Stop being so stubborn when you clearly still have feelings for each other. Just remarry!"
When Algerone looked at Belinda, he noticed she was looking at him too, and both of them felt a slight awkwardness.
Monica continued, "Once you have your wedding, I will acknowledge them. It doesn't mean I will abandon you two. I hope you can come together legally and take care of each other."
So... this matter became a transaction?
There was no way around it. Algerone made his stance clear, "I'm willing to remarry."
Then Monica turned her gaze to Belinda, waiting for her response. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment, glanced at her daughter, and then at the man beside her.
She didn't resist, her expression softened, and she answered with silence.
So, an agreement was reached on this matter. Algerone and Belinda would remarry, and Monica would acknowledge her brother as her father.
Outside the door, Rowan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, his smile filled with tenderness.
Rowan turned and returned to his office. After calmly thinking for a moment, he found a doctor and said to him, "Go and examine Belinda to see if she meets the discharge criteria." "The stitches have been removed, and the wound has healed nicely. Based on yesterday's examination, she can be discharged, but I will conduct a detailed check-up for her." "Good, thank you."
After the doctor left, just as Rowan was about to go to the ward to check on Belinda, Monica appeared at the door. The siblings' gazes converged.
Rowan sat down in his office chair, and Monica approached him, taking a few steps to stand in front of him. She spoke softly, "When can my mother be discharged?"
"I have arranged for a doctor to examine her. It should be within the next couple of days."
"After she's discharged, Tristan and I have prepared a small wedding for them. After the wedding, will you take me to see my father?" Monica took the initiative to speak.
Rowan was delighted, "Okay." He then asked, "Is there anything... I can help with?"
"No need, the wedding has been arranged. You're busy with your own matters. Just wait for my call." Monica knew he was busy too, "Here's my number." She took out her phone and not only saved his number.
He said, "I'll be waiting for your message."
Monica nodded and left.
