Filed to story: The Regretful Billionaire: An Unpredicted Reunion
They would definitely demand money and might even pester him about money after they acquainted themselves with Zack.She feared that she might cause further harm to him.
“Calm down.If you don’t want me to go, I won’t.Anyway, we’re in this together.No matter what happens, we will do it as a team.”
He held her hand to soothe her.
The warmth of his touch calmed her.
“They’re not good people, and they will probably pester you after you visit them.That’s why I don’t want you to go.”
“Yeah, I know.” He nodded.He was aware of her concerns.
Honestly speaking, he was fine with her parents.
Although he wasn’t as rich as Danika or Eustace, he was never short of money, and satisfying the greed of her parents wouldn’t be too much of an issue.
However, Janet had made it clear that she didn’t want him to go down this route.
Therefore, he wouldn’t do it to avoid upsetting her.She had gathered herself and put the thought of her parents behind her.
“You’ve just woken up, and you’re still weak.You need more rest.”
“But I can’t sleep.”
He woke up feeling as though he had slept for a century.
Moreover, he was worried that Janet would leave him after he fell asleep.She flashed him a defeated smile.
“Even so, you should lie in bed and rest.”
“Join me, then?” He raised his eyebrows cheekily.
If she joined him in bed, time would go by faster.She promptly blushed.
“How?”
“Why not? We can squeeze into this bed.”
Then, he moved a little to the side to make space for her.
The blush on her cheeks deepened.
How Do You Plan to Deal With Them?
In the following days, Danika would drop by Zack’s room for a quick visit before work.
Most of the time, she didn’t need to enter to check on him because Janet was right by his side.
Her presence would only be an interruption.
Zack was almost fully recovered.
It was then he reached out to Danika to ask her opinion on the best way to deal with Janet’s parents.He received news that the Quinceys and Zellwegers had worked together to destroy the Britts, starting with an investigation into the club.
The Britts were deeply corrupted and were in a precarious position after the targeted attacks by the two families.
Since Zack didn’t need to worry about the Britts, his full attention was on Janet’s parents, who might pose endless trouble for him if they were not handled well.
He never ran from trouble, but he knew the last thing Janet wanted was to see her parents being a source of trouble.
At the end of the day, none of them would be happy if her parents weren’t taken care of.
After hearing Zack out, Danika sank into a short silence.
Then, she said, “Zack, don’t worry about this.I’ll bring my men to iron this out.”
“How do you plan to deal with them?” he asked.
“Well, since they planned to sell their daughter off, let’s pretend that Janet has been sold off to stop them from contacting her.” If she brought her men to send Janet’s parents a warning, she believed that they wouldn’t cause further trouble.
However, she had to carefully think over the execution of the idea.
Zack looked a little concerned.
“Will that work? We can’t be too hard-handed because they’re Janet’s parents.”
He wouldn’t have bothered if they weren’t.
“Zack, don’t worry about it.I have never let you down, have “? “She waved at him dismissively, thinking the task at hand was a piece of cake.
“You should return to your room.You’ll be discharged in two days.”
“Okay.After I’m discharged, I plan to marry Janet as soon as possible,” he suddenly told her.
She was surprised at the confession, but she understood his feelings.
“I’m okay with that.But we’ll have to see if Janet’s going to say yes.”
“Of course she will.” He sounded extremely confident, to which she merely smiled.
She had an inkling that Janet, who was currently troubled and stressed out, might not say yes to him right away.
Anyway, it was not her place to comment on their relationship.
After Zack left, Danika made a call to Melissa Collins.
“Bring a few men with you and follow me on a trip.”
“Where are we going?”
Melissa questioned.
“Just running an errand.It won’t take long.”
Danika believed that dealing with Janet’s parents would be a breeze.
Melissa agreed to join her.
Danika didn’t leave immediately.
Instead, she only took leave after doing her routine patient checks.She met Melissa at the hospital entrance.She didn’t inform Eustace of her decision to meet with Janet’s parents because he was in the thick of taking down the Britts.
As for Gilbert…
Ever since Danika’s conversation with him, he never paid Zack another visit, as if he was prepared to let go of him.
Danika sighed at Gilbert’s behavior—she was helpless in front of him.
“Let’s go,” she muttered, sitting in the passenger seat.
Melissa drove her to the address provided with a car in tow that was filled with the men Melissa had brought with her.
Melissa never asked Danika the reason they needed reinforcements.She’d do anything as long as it wasn’t against her interest.
Since she was deeply indebted to Danika, she’d follow her orders without doubt or protest.
I Had Sand in My Eyes
While Danika, Melissa, and their bodyguards were on their way to Janet’s parents, Janet had just ended a conversation with them.Her eyes were red and glistening as she panted, clearly just emerging from a fight.
How could she not fight with them? They had the audacity to say that they wanted to come to Bardoff City for Zack and that they wanted him to be their meal ticket forever.
At that instance, her only thought was to die and bring her parents along.She wondered why God had to make her suffer.
Why was it so tough to stay with a man she loved? “Janet?”
Zack came searching for her when she didn’t return to his room for a long time.He was worried after finding her alone in the corridor.
Hearing his voice, she hurriedly wiped away her tears.
“Why did you leave the room? I’ll be there right away.”
He didn’t see her crying, but he sensed that something was wrong from her reddened eyes.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.I had sand in my eyes.”
She smiled as not to worry him.The more she pretended she was okay, the more worried he became.
Sighing, he went up to her and pulled her into a hug.
“Don’t worry.Danika will deal with your parents.”
“Yeah.”
She wanted to tell him that no one could solve the issue and no one could help.But she kept the thoughts private because she didn’t want to worry him.
They returned to his room, and she sat by his bed.He poured her a glass of water.
