The CEO’s Surrogate Wife

Chapter 870 Denying Her Request

"John..." Rory calls out John's name several times behind him, but he doesn't have any reaction at all.

It isn't until Rory walks to him and waves her hand in front of his eyes that John finally regains his senses. He looks at Rory with surprise and tries to return to his normal state. "What's wrong?"

"I want to ask you a question. Why have you been absent-minded all day?" He has never been like this before. Could it be that something special happens when John goes to find that woman today?

John says with a smile, "Rory, I'm just think about something. Nothing special has happened."

He speaks in a casual manner, but Rory listens to his every word with great concentration. She can't help wondering if he is thinking about that woman.

Since when does that woman begin to occupy his mind?

"John, I feel a little bored recently. Why don't we take a trip?" Rory remembers what the director has said to her, so this idea suddenly pops up in her mind. As long as they go on a trip together, their relationship will improve by leaps and bounds. Feeling that their relationship just stays the same without any development, she really wants to know what is on his mind.

Rory looks at him with anticipation. However, John says, "I can't go on a trip recently, because I suffer from severe headache from time to time. If I travel with you, I'm afraid that something unexpected might happen. I can have a trip with you a few days later. Is that okay?"

Hearing this, Rory is utterly disappointed. However, what he says makes sense. He should attach greater importance to his physical condition.

"I see. Take good care of yourself first. We'll have a trip after you recover." After thinking it through, she becomes delighted again. With a bright smile, she walks to the other side in a lively manner. But when turning the corner, she can't help pouting.

This is the first time that John rejects her request without hesitation. He used to cherish her the most and agree to any request raised by her. But now, he seems to have his own opinion. Or is she thinking too much?

As a result, both of them are in low spirits in the orphanage today.

When seeing Rory's receding figure, John is a little apologetic. That's because it is out of his expectation that he turns down her request.

One thing he doesn't want to admit is that he is reluctant to be too far away from Miya. He even has the urge to go back and find her. When this thought strikes him, he is frightened.

What kind of magic does that woman use on him? Why does he keep thinking about her when he closes his eyes? Confusion and distress surge through him. He hates this feeling, but he can't control it.

He keeps rubbing his temples. For the first time, he feels a little anxious and even overwhelmed.

At this moment, the director appears in front of him.

"What exactly happened to you recently? You were still in a good state before the discussion. Remember to take the medicine I prepared for you on time."

The director places the medicine on the table in front of him and walks forward. After taking a few steps, she turns around and looks at John with concern. Then she can't help saying again, "Remember to take the medicine." NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

With that, the director leaves in a hurry.

Holding the medicine tightly, John is immersed in thought....

On the other side.

Miya lies on the bed quietly and motionlessly. However, if one looks carefully, he will see her chest rising and falling slowly. Besides, her breathing seems to be a little feeble.

"Hurry up and tell me what's going on? Since she has woken up, she must be fine now. Why is she still in bed?" Anson says angrily as he pulls the doctor out of the room.

"Mr. Anson, don't worry. It's nothing serious. She just fell asleep because she's been too tired lately. I can guarantee that she's fine now." The doctor is almost scared out of his wits by Anson's fierce questioning these days. He has been a doctor for decades, but he has never been so scared like he is now. However, he can tell that Anson really cares about that woman.

As long as something happens to her, Anson will be extremely anxious. Even if the doctor is a man, he can't help envying Anson's meticulous care and attention towards her.

"You'd better remember what you said right now. Otherwise, you know what will happen to you."

After saying to the doctor in a threatening voice, Anson turns around and leaves. As soon as he enters the room, he seems to have changed into another person. With a tender look, he walks to her and strokes her hair gently.

"I know you've been tired recently. Have a good rest. I'll take good care of you anyway." With that, he kisses her on the forehead gently. After tucking her in, he is about to turn around to leave. However, he suddenly hears Miya's voice.

"Anson."

After hearing such a low call, Anson is overwhelmed with delight. This is the first time she calls his name so seriously. He can't help but turn around and look at Miya with excitement.

"You finally wake up. If you need anything, just tell me. Do you want me to call the doctor over immediately? Are you alright?" Since Anson is quite nervous, he says a bunch of things to her.

Miya shakes her head with a reassuring smile. "Actually, what I heard is totally against your imagination. Don't treat me like a fragile ceramic doll anymore. Can you send me to the Hope Orphanage?"

When Anson hears Miya's words, his face immediately darkens.

"With your current condition, you shouldn't come to find that man. He has hurt you so deeply, and he isn't Alex at all. Haven't you suffered enough?"

While saying this, Anson is burning with rage. He will never forget that it is because of John that Miya faints again. However, it's also thanks to him that Miya is awakened. Given this situation, Anson decides to let go of John for the time being, or else he will definitely settle the score with him.
