Chapter 13

Benson was still bubbling with joy when he was back home from the hospital.

He simply could not hide his delight!

It was the most gratifying thing to see his dad’s condition take a drastic improvement after he had been administered the Phoenixia.

What pleased him further was that his relationship with his brothers had taken a turn for the better, when Samuel offered Penny the post of general manager in Grande Group.

It signified their acceptance into the central core of the power of the family dynasty and gave him the recognition that he had always yearned for.

The slew of good news gave him a good reason to get Leah to prepare a few dishes so that he could hold a small celebration with his family.

To top it up, he even took out a bottle of his vintage wine to have a drink with Nathan.

“I need to thank you for everything you’ve done for us, Nathan.” Benson thanked with a hearty smile, “First and foremost, it’s your pill that has saved my dad, which has given Penny the opportunity to join Grande Group as general manager.”

“I owe it to you, Nathan. Let’s have a drink.”

“Sure, Benson. Let’s cheers!” Nathan could feel the sheer joy emitted by Benson.

Leah was utterly delighted as well. “Benson was right. It’s Nathan who has given us back our pride and dignity.”

“We owe you a huge favor, Nathan,” Penny nodded in acknowledgment.

“Come on, what’s all these formalities for?” Leah eyed her daughter reprovingly, “Isn’t a husband and wife supposed to help each other out?”

Penny strived to hide her blush, which had made her cheeks turn as rosy as two little cherries. It swamped her heart with a shyness, making her lost for words.

When she stole a glance at Nathan, who was sitting beside her, he was wreathed in smiles.

She lifted her heels and nudged at his leg.
