I will go on his behalf
The next morning, Eveline arrived at the hospital to find her father surrounded by work.
"Uncle Mark, how can you let my dad work in this condition?" Mark, Jonathan's assistant, pursed his lips and stared anxiously at Jonathan.
"It's not his fault, Princess. I was the one who was bored here, so I asked him to bring some work." Jonathan stated in a casual tone, but his carelessness infuriated Eveline.
"And who told you to do that?" She yelled, racing towards his bed.
With her hands crossed, she asked, "Are you still recovering, Dad? If your doctor says you need to rest, why would you ever consider working?"
Jonathan stared down at the paperwork strewn across his leg.
Eveline was aware that her father prioritized his work over his health. But this wasn't just a usual cold or fever; he had been in an accident that injured his leg, and instead of resting and mending, he called his assistant and brought work.
