CEO Plus-Size Ex-Wife

Chapter 22: Remind Me

At this time of the day, the hospital was teeming with activity. Despite being renowned as the premier healthcare facility in the city, the steep hospital bills had the potential to deter those with lower incomes. However, this did not dissuade people from seeking medical care at Hills Hospital due to its exceptional service.

As three ambulances departed, two more were seen approaching the hospital. A commotion caused by Agatha drew the attention of many onlookers. Even though the hospital guards were present, they hesitated to intervene upon recognizing the individuals involved.

"Agatha, you've had too much to drink. Please refrain from causing a scene," Mr. Singers scolded, aware of the spectators reaching for their phones to capture the moment.

If footage of the incident were to surface online, he knew that armchair critics and sensationalist bloggers would seize the opportunity to craft the most scandalous headlines imaginable.

"No, I am not drunk. Look, I can stand on my feet," Agatha argued as she staggered forward, struggling to walk properly.

"Come with me, Agatha," Mr. Singers said, reaching out to catch her arm and guide her towards his car. Agatha resisted, her eyes filled with tears as she asked, "Why?"

Mr. Singers' expression hardened, understanding Agatha's emotions. He had no intention of punishing her. Gazing deeply into her eyes, his face softened as he saw tears streaming down her cheeks. "Am I not beautiful? What does she have that I don't? Do you want me to gain weight?" Agatha sobbed.

"I'm sorry, Agatha," Mr. Singers said before swiftly and gently pressing on her neck, rendering her unconscious.

He lifted her limp body, carrying her towards the car where Tony sat watching them.

When Tony spotted Mr. Singers approaching his car carrying Agatha, he swiftly exited the vehicle and opened the back seat door. As Mr. Singers gently placed Agatha inside, he turned to Tony and entrusted him with a heartfelt request, "Take good care of her; call me when she wakes up."

After a brief pat on Tony's back, Mr. Singers departed without waiting for a response, cognizant of Tony's affection for Agatha.

Driving away, Mr. Singers procured all the items Andrea required from a nearby store. As he left the establishment, he overheard a child's voice exclaiming, "Mom, I love this comic book! All my classmates have it."

Glancing in the direction of the voice, he spotted a four-year-old girl standing with a woman who appeared to be her mother, judging by the woman's awkwardness and embarrassment.

"Cheery, I promise to buy it for you once I receive my salary," the anxious mother assured her daughter.

Cheery pouted and retorted, "Mom, you promised to buy me a teddy bear. Can you afford it with the comic book?"

Mr. Singers stood nearby, his heart heavy as he overheard the conversation between the mother and child, reminding him of his own wife and daughter he had left behind in Vegas many years ago.

When he had left them, they were struggling with poverty, and he had even left behind some debts.

Silently, he entered the store and purchased seven copies of the popular comic books before stepping back outside.

As the mother and child began to walk away, Mr. Singers felt a tug at his heart and called out, "Could you please pause for a moment?"

Turning back, the mother and child faced Mr. Singers. The mother's expression held a mix of curiosity and caution, but as she noticed the stack of comic books in his hands, her features froze in disbelief.

Mr. Singers knelt down before the little girl and gently asked, "What's your name, kid?"

The young girl gazed up at the tall, handsome Mr. Singers, blinking her large eyes before responding with a sweet, cheerful "Cheery."

Mr. Singers smiled warmly at her before presenting three comic books he had purchased from the shop, offering them to her as a gift. "These are for you, as a token of appreciation for being so smart and kind. Your mother is working hard for you, and if she could afford it, she wouldn't wait for you to ask for things."

Cheery blinked in confusion at his words but still nodded enthusiastically, taking the comic books and saying, "Thank you, sir."

With a nod, Mr. Singers rose to his feet and turned to face Cheery's mother, who was on the verge of tears. "Miss, if you're struggling to find a job, here's my card. I have a position for you at my company."

Turning away, Mr. Singers left the scene, leaving Cheery's mother staring after him, amazed that there were still kind strangers like him in the world.

Cherry's mother failed to thoroughly inspect the complimentary card, and by the time she eventually glanced at it, Mr. Singers had already departed. Despite not being accompanied by his security entourage, his security team maintained a vigilant presence, closely monitoring his every move.

"Mr. Singers!" Cherry's mom shrieked in disbelief, flinging the complimentary card in shock.

The realization that the man who had purchased her child's comic books and handed her his card was none other than Mr. Singers, one of the wealthiest individuals in the country and the richest man in Sunshine City, overwhelmed her.

Unaware of the impact of his card, Mr. Singers proceeded to the hospital, carrying all the items he had purchased to Andrea's ward.

Upon opening the door to the ward, he found Andrea already seated on the hospital bed. After stashing the items he had purchased in a locker within her room, he made his way over to her bedside.

"I got these for you. They should help pass the time when you're feeling bored," Mr. Singers said as he handed Andrea the stack of comic books he had bought.

Andrea gazed at the children's comic books he had selected for her with a look of bewilderment, unsure of what to make of them.

"These are the latest and most popular ones. If they're not your style, I can always find something else for you," Mr. Singers offered, noticing Andrea's perplexed expression.
