Chapter 1170

On the way back, Liam suddenly asked, “How are things going with him?”

Blake, gripping the steering wheel, was momentarily stunned before replying, “We’re okay. He went to the hospital last night, and we happened to run into each other. He told me that Cecilia wanted to find someone to take the CEO’s assistant position. But…” Blake did not continue because Zach’s fate was still up in the air. Blake overheard nurses chatting when she was in the hospital, saying that Zach was still unconscious. This matter had to be kept confidential.

Even though she did not want to tell, Liam guessed what was going 1.

He opened his eyes to look at Blake. “Do you want to go back and compete for that position?”

Blake did not dare to meet his eyes, afraid that seeing them would make her change her mind. She thought, ‘I’ve just transferred to StartReading Literary not long ago. This company was founded by Mr.

Jardin for Madelyn. Currently, most of the scripts and novels for show adaptations being discussed are personally selected by her.

‘Even though there have been changes, we can’t afford to stop our work.’

Blake replied, “No, my current job suits me well.”

Liam responded, “If it’s about the salary, we can negotiate.”

As long as Blake could stay, Liam was willing to give her all his money.

After she sent Liam home, she went back to the company to help with the work, while Sean had already gone to meet with the production crew.

When it was almost time to get off work, Blake received a message from Liam.

[The meal with my family is this weekend.]

Blake was nervous, but she replied to Liam’s text: [Okay.]

After work, Blake received a call from the hospital.

When she arrived at the Community Hospital, Simon was awake, and Grace was taking care of him.

Grace took Blake outside the ward. She looked worried as she said, Blake, do you know what happened to Mya? Why doesn’t the Turner family allow her to come back? Mya isn’t smart, and she’ll never offend someone like Fred.

“You’re smart and have many ideas. Do you have any way to find out where Mya is?”

Blake could only comfort Grace for now. “Mya is doing very well saw her at Madelyn’s wedding. I could tell she was doing fi even gained some weight. Fred treats her quite well. Don’t wor will be fine.”

Grace replied, “If she’s fine and doing well, why doesn’t she come back? As soon as Simon woke up just now, he asked about Mya, wondering if anything happened to her. I didn’t know how to answer him.”

Blake pursed her lips. “I’ll comfort him. The priority now is to make sure he recovers from his illness.”

She instantly felt a burden on her shoulders. She noticed she no longer felt as happy as she used to, when she used to go home and watch dramas with Mya after work. Things had changed.

Blake thought, ‘Now, Simon takes care of the entire Harper family’s business alone. He only has one daughter. If things continue like this, the Harper family might fall…

‘Maybe I’m just overthinking things.’

Simon could not stay in the hospital any longer and completed the discharge procedures at six-thirty in the evening.

After Blake brought Simon and Grace home, Blake realized he had somehow arranged for the family’s maid to prepare a large table full of dishes, all of which were Blake’s favorites.

He said, “This home has become quite quiet, without Mya and with you rarely staying here.”

Blake had grown up here and had always considered Grace and Simon her parents. They treated her like their own daughter too.
