The CEO’s Surrogate Wife

"How is she now?" Rory asks the doctor. She doesn't want to think nonsense anymore.

"Actually, she is alright. But she is too weak to do much for the time being. Also, don't ask her to do things that may exhaust her. I'll prescribe some medicine for her, and she needs to have recuperation. She'll be fine after resting for a few days." After giving some simple instructions, the doctor leaves.

Upon leaving the ward, John sees a sneaky figure, which turns out to be the director. Why does she suddenly appear here? John begins to think why Miya is locked in the backyard's utility room for no reason. Normally, people rarely pass through that room, and its door is a bit broken. How can Miya run over by herself? Undoubtedly, the director must be behind Miya's accident.

Although he doesn't know what is on the director's mind, he has a growing detest for her.

John directly walks over.

"Director, what are you doing here?"

"You made such a big commotion just now, so I came here to check the situation." Actually, she just comes here to see if that woman is dead or not. If Miya dies, she will gloat over her misfortune. Even if Miya is still alive, the director believes that she must be severely injured.

"You seem to be quite concerned about her,"

John says in a sarcastic tone.

The director can tell there is a touch of sarcasm in his voice. She doesn't expect him to be so arrogant. How dare he even question her? However, she is reluctant to waste so much time talking nonsense with him.

This man is much shrewder than she has imagined. She is afraid that her daughter will easily be fooled by him.

"I suddenly remember that I have to deal with other things. I must leave now." The director knows the best way is to get away from him.

However, John doesn't let her plot succeed this time. He stands in front of the director to stop her from moving forward.

"Director, you can feel free to ask me for help if you run into difficulties. Maybe I can help you think of a way."

'Can this guy let me go?' the director thinks to herself in anxiety.

"You must be the one who locked Miya up in the backyard's utility room," John says outspokenly.

It surprises the director that John comes straight to the point without beating around the bush. It seems that he has run out of his patience.

Since he is so frank with her, she knows that she cannot continue to play dumb.

"I didn't expect you to discover this. But why did you save Miya?"

For some reason, when John hears this, anger surges through him all of a sudden.

The director continues, "Did I just hear you right? You are defending that woman now. Logically speaking, you should have paid all your attention to Rory. Why do you still have time to care about other women?" She is indeed filled with indignation at John's indifference towards her daughter.

She becomes even unhappier when hearing John question her. Why does he care so much about Miya? Is he going to have two girlfriends at the same time? She will by no means let this happen, or else her daughter will be heartbroken again. John must treat her daughter wholeheartedly, and she is determined to stop him from hurting Rory. Her hatred towards Miya grows, and she can't wait to get rid of Miya as soon as possible.

"My relationship with Rory has nothing to do with that woman." Suppressing his anger, John says in a low voice.

"Do you dare to say that you don't like that woman at all? Then why were you so anxious when carrying her into the ward?" Actually, the director sees John's behavior just now, and she can tell he is anxious like a cat on hot bricks.

She guesses that he won't be so agitated even if it's Rory who gets injured.

"How can you be so hasty in locking her up alone? It's a matter of life and death! Do you know that you almost killed her by doing this?" John asks her in a reproving voice again, and she can't help flying into a rage.

John has got more carried away. If it weren't for her daughter's pleading, she wouldn't have saved him back then. She has to admit that the man saved by them is indeed ungrateful.

"It's all because of you. After meeting that woman, you miss her so badly that you even ignore my daughter. As a result, my daughter is in distress every day. I did all this for my daughter's eternal happiness." This time, the director decides to tell him everything because she wants to protect Rory.

"What? Rory is your daughter? Isn't she an orphan adopted by you?"

John is so shocked that he even changes to another topic.

"Let me tell you the truth. I fell in love with a man back then, but I later found out that he was a married man. I was unwilling to be his mistress or share his love with another woman, so I secretly left and came here to run an orphanage. I don't want others to know about Rory's identity, so I say that she is an orphan adopted by me. I've never told her about her true identity."

"But do you know how hard it is for me to do all this? All I wish is to give her a carefree and happy childhood. I love her whole-heartedly and I can't bear to see her suffer any grievances. So I won't allow Miya o you to hurt her!"

The director is quite emotional now.

"But have you ever thought that she will suffer more after you do these things?" John felt sorrier for Rory.

"How can she be distressed? I've always been nice to her and I gave her everything I could get," the director says loudly, and she kind of loses control of her emotions.

"But have you ever asked what she really wants? Perhaps her simplest wish is to call you mum."

"Anyway, I have my own way of doing things. I just hope that you can keep it a secret so that Rory can always be happy. I don't want her to think about her dad anymore. It's good for her to stay in this orphanage," the director says as she tries to calm down.

"Never reveal the truth to anyone, especially Rory. I want to hide the truth from her forever. The more she knows, the more painful she will become." The director takes a deep breath and finally returns to her normal state.

However, after turning around, the director is surprised to find that Rory is standing in front of her. She stares at her, with tears welling up in her eyes and continuously falling down her cheeks. She is totally overcome with grief.

"You're wrong. I've never been happy all these years, for I always wonder where my parents are. How can you hide the truth from me for so long? What's worse, you don't even have the slightest intention of telling it to me!"0000
