Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 513 Testing The Waters

Faced with Josephine’s kind “orders,” I replied, “I will. Let me change upstairs first, Mom. I’ll return to drink some chicken soup later.”

I shot my mother-in-law a small smile before heading upstairs. Josephine’s thoughtful actions had taken a weight off my mind.

Once I returned to my bedroom, I took a quick shower in the attached bathroom. Though there was little for me to do at the hospital, I felt more exhausted now than after a full day’s work.

Michael was home by the time I came out of the bathroom. His gaze traveled up and down my body before he approached me.

He wrapped me in his arms and asked gently, “How was your day at the hospital? Were you very uncomfortable?”

“It was fine. Other than the fact that I didn’t click with Janette, everything else was bearable. Still, I’m not sure if I can completely forgive my birth mother,” I answered him gloomily as I leaned deeper into his embrace.

He placed his chin on my head and coaxed, “Take things slowly. Everything has its own course. Even if you’re planning to forgive her, it won’t come so quickly or naturally to you.”

I sighed in resignation, realizing the wisdom in his words.

After resting at home for slightly over an hour, I set off for the hospital. Michael wanted to send me, but I firmly denied his offer. He was undeniably exhausted after a day at work, and I did not want him to expend more energy on my matters.

I understood and appreciated his concern, but I eventually emerged triumphant in our little disagreement. He conceded and allowed me to drive to the hospital alone, but not before reminding me multiple times to be careful.
