Accept The Treatment
Just as "Zayn" spoke, he leaned in to kiss Carla's ear, but she avoided it by reflex and even pushed him away. "There's a huge controversy brewing now. Didn't you read the news?"
"Just ignore them, " he reassured her. "They will naturally stop in a couple of days."
"Stop?" She narrowed her eyes at him. "Did you actually read the news? Given how haywire the speculations have become, how can they stop naturally? When you were missing, an internal conflict occurred within the company, with the board of directors trying to remove me. After painstakingly suppressing them, we now have another controversy on our hands. Do you really think it will go away by itself if we don't do anything about it?"
"I…" The man was taken aback at first. However, he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
"Did Kallum come and see you just now?" she asked candidly. "What did he say?"
"Nothing much. He came to see for himself whether I was still alive and asked me if the auditor could return to the company. Also, he even said…"
Looking at Carla meekly, "Zayn" dared not continue his explanation.
"What else did he say?" Carla pressed on.
"He said that it's inappropriate for a lady to be at the helm and that I should return to take control, " he answered as he observed her reaction.
"He's right." Not only was Carla not angry, but she also lamented, "In the few days in which you were missing, I was flooded with accusations from all kinds of people. Now that you're back, a new controversy has been ignited. The last few days have been the most tiring time of my entire life. If I
could, I really don't want to do this. Therefore, you'd better receive treatment so that I can hand this mess over to you once you've recovered. I truly can't be bothered anymore."
"Speaking of my health, I have something to share with you, " "Zayn" remarked with an earnest expression. "These few days, I can feel my condition improving significantly, and I also feel more energetic. In fact, I was wondering if this incident had removed the toxins in my body by accident."
"Really?" Carla was elated. "I noticed the same about you too. Since the poison came about under strange circumstances, it wouldn't be a surprise if it disappeared in an equally mysterious manner."
"In that case—"
"I'll get Naya to come over and do a blood test for you. That way, we'll know for sure."
While speaking, Carla picked up her phone to make the call.
"Zayn" hastened to stop her. "Wait, I don't think there's any need to do so. If she finds out that I've not healed, it might cause me unnecessary stress."
She nodded. "That's true. Why don't you continue with the treatment Dr. Feroma left behind? We can observe the results over a few days."
"There's no need for that. It's not like I have any symptoms—"
"What do you mean you don't?" Carla grew concerned suddenly. "Ever since you returned, you've been behaving strangely. In fact, many have been wondering what's wrong with you. If you hadn't intermittently lost your memory before the fire, I would have thought that you weren't my husband."
Her words stunned "Zayn" for a moment, and he quickly explained, "Of course, I'm your husband. Fine, you're right. My sickness is getting to my head. I do need to receive the treatment."
"That's the way." Carla nodded in relief. "I'll get Hapilia and Sam to do it later. Recover as soon as you can so that you can manage the company again. As of now, I can barely keep it together by myself."
"All right, I got it." "Zayn" forced himself to agree. "But Kallum told me that the board of directors is causing trouble again. How are you planning to deal with them?"
"What else can I do? They don't respect me at all. On my way home, Jamal even called me to get you to show your face, even if it's just to say a word or two. Therefore, receive your treatment tonight and follow me to the company tomorrow morning."
