Chapter 117: Painful and Sad

Dan was worried about his wife's reaction on the matter so he wanted to see her.

"Riley." he handed an envelope.

"C-CEO Zhou." Riley was still a bit out of sorts.

"Your previous boss had found out. I'm worried about how she'll react. The baby..." Dan stopped. Riley had discussed with him the matter that the doctor had told him. Riley did not have anyone else, and he cannot tell Michelle's parents just yet.

"It's okay, CEO Zhou. You should not hesitate to talk about your family just because..." he was saying this, but tears welled up in his eyes.

"Riley, take this." Dan almost shoved the envelope into his hands.

Riley opened the envelope and saw a cheque with a million written on it.

"If you need more..."

Riley lost all restraints and hugged Dan as if he was a friend and not his wife's boss. He cried.

Dan tapped his back in understanding.
