Chapter 208
Chapter 208
This whole situation was just so unfair to Roxanne.
After realizing his mistake, Harrison waited for the doctors and nurses to leave the ward before sitting
down by the bed and taking Roxanne's hand.
With utmost sincerity, he said, "Anne, I messed up. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have blamed you without
knowing all the facts, causing us to lose our child and making you shed all those tears."
Roxanne had always been an independent and strong girl. She didn't cry easily.
But last night, he made her cry.
Even now, her eyes were still swollen like a frog's.
Harrison knew he had really screwed up.
He apologized over and over again.
Roxanne, who had been wronged, finally received fair treatment, but she cried again.
This stupid man actually knew how to apologize?
When she thought about how he, as a big boss, had apologized to her multiple times without regard for
his dignity and status, she couldn't help but laugh.
Now that she finally smiled, Harrison's guilty conscience was slightly eased.
He wiped her tears and said, "Anne, stop crying. You need to stay calm now."
"It's all your fault." Roxanne sniffled, feeling much better now. "Did you hear what the doctor said?"
"Mhm." Harrison nodded seriously.
"You need to control yourself from now on, understand?" Roxanne added.
She thought for a moment and realized that she was also at fault.
She spoke to him while holding the hand that Harrison was using to wipe her tears. "Harrison, I'm sorry.
I was negligent that day. If I had gone to the hospital earlier, I might not have miscarried. You love
children so much..."
She paused and began choking up.
The thought of the child she had miscarried, who had not even had a chance to see the world, was
painful. She hadn't even had a chance to love him before he was gone.
She was so heartbroken.
"I'm sorry." She stammered, "You could have been a happy father, and our dad could have been a
happy grandfather. The baby might have been a cute little granddaughter that he would have loved. But
the baby is gone now, and I'm partly to blame."
She hadn't even noticed that she was pregnant.
She was also guilty.
"We'll have a baby." Harrison said as he held her hand tightly. "Don't be upset. Your main priority now is
to take care of yourself."
She felt nothing but warmth come from Harrison's palm.
Roxanne nodded. "Yes, I need to take care of myself. I've decided to focus fully on my health from now
on. I'll let Chloe take over my work for now. Once I've recovered, I'll go back to work. I'll try to spend
more time with you, and we can plan for a baby again."
As she mentioned her work, Harrison's brow furrowed.
He looked a bit guilty, but it wasn't obvious.
Roxanne didn't notice.
She was unaware that Harrison had closed her company the night before.
He had compensated her clients for breaking the contract.
The employees at the headquarters and the factory had all received generous severance packages
and new job assignments that morning.
The offices and factories she rented had also been returned.
This was all done without her knowledge.
He thought that closing her company was the only way to make her embrace the life of a wealthy
housewife.
He would provide financial support and didn't want her to appear in public anymore.
Unaware of all this, Roxanne was still planning for the future.
"Harrison, I've thought about it. Once I've recovered, I'll hire a few experienced managers to help me
run the factory. I'll try to stay at the headquarters in Seraphim Haven as much as possible."
Unless necessary, I won't come to Warmville often to avoid us being apart too much. I realize that this
has been unfair to you.
I was wrong before. Harrison, I'll try to adapt to your billionaire lifestyle, and I'll try to balance work and
family. Please respect me and let me have a career so that I can stand on my own, okay?"
The more Roxanne talked, the guiltier Harrison felt.
He seemed to think that closing the company she had worked so hard to build the night before might
have been inappropriate.
Should he have discussed it with her first?
But it was already closed.
He just wanted her to stay at home like a wealthy housewife without worrying about anything. He would
discuss it with her after she had recovered.
Roxanne was waiting for Harrison's response.
But Harrison was frowning, as if he were pondering over something else.
"Harrison?" Roxanne gently tugged at his hand and said again, "You're right, you're the top dog of
Seraphim Haven, and your wife doesn't need to work so hard. But I still want a career where I can
stand on my own. Please support me, okay?"
She looked at him, her eyes both pitiful and hopeful.
She hoped for his support.
She made a promise. "Of course, I promise that I will prioritize our family and take care of your feelings
more. If I need help, I will definitely not hesitate to ask you. Harrison, support me, okay?"
Harrison couldn't find the words to respond.
Her pleading eyes made him feel even guiltier.
He stood there stiffly.
"Darling!" Roxanne tugged at his hand again, using the affectionate nickname that she usually
hesitated to use. "Is it okay?"
She was usually decisive and rarely acted coy.
Her suddenly calling him darling only added to his guilt.
But he still forced himself to agree. "Okay."
Roxanne suddenly felt very happy and kissed Harrison.
After the kiss, she wrapped her arms around his neck while smiling at him. "Darling, you're the best."
When she smiled, her eyes were still as swollen as a frog's.
Last night, he made her cry because he wrongly accused her of causing the miscarriage.
Now she was smiling happily again.
Because her eyes were swollen, she now looked even cuter when she smiled.
She looked satisfied.
Turned out that her demands were simple.
Just a little respect from him was enough to make her smile so contentedly.
Suddenly, Harrison felt like he had made another mistake.
To ensure Roxanne's rest, Harrison quietly made some phone calls and arranged some things.
After breakfast, Roxanne started dealing with work stuff while still chilling and healing.
While on the phone with Chloe, Roxanne felt like Chloe was acting hesitant; she was stuttering like an
old radio on every sentence.
"Chloe, I put you in charge of the Novaria client, so why are you humming and hawing? Don't tell me
there's a problem." Roxanne picked up on the weird vibes.
Chloe got a bit antsy and quickly replied, "No, no, everything's peachy keen. How are you feeling after
the incident? Any discomfort?"
"Chloe, how did you know I had a miscarriage?" Roxanne was puzzled. She hadn't had the chance to
tell Chloe yet.
"Oh, I rang Harrison this morning. He told me."
Chloe always got a bit jittery when she lied.
"Anne, you take it easy and rest up. I've got the company covered, so don't stress. Your health comes
first."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely take it easy. Once I've bounced back, I still want to have a baby for Harrison." NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Roxanne was in high spirits.
Her voice was full of joy, and she felt relaxed.
When she mentioned having a baby, she glanced at Harrison.
She felt that she shouldn't have picked a fight with him before. This guy really loved her.
She should also try to get used to his billionaire status and work hard to keep their marriage happy.
After hanging up, she looked at Harrison. "Chloe said she called you this morning; what did she want?"
Harrison’s spine turned to jelly; he was clueless about how to respond.
