Chapter 24 Is Your Husband Maltreating You? Roman, while supporting Damara, was taken aback when he heard these words, and a trace of surprise flickered in his eyes. Damara got married? But judging from Abner’s expression, it didn’t seem like a joke. When Damara had just graduated from university, she was invited to work in his studio. Roman had never seen her getting close to any man in the past three years. How could she be married? Catching Roman’s astonishment on his face, Abner raised an eyebrow. “Let’s take her inside first.” Roman nodded and carefully supported Damara as they entered the hospital lobby. Abner didn’t stay. He was willing to bring Damara over because he anticipated they would spend some time together. While driving back to the Robinson Group, Abner suddenly received a call from Old Mr. Robinson. “Abner, have you seen Damara? She must be prettier lately!” Old Mr. Robinson coughed a couple of times and took a few breaths between sentences, indicating the severity of his illness and his frail health. “Grandpa, just take care of yourself in the sanatorium.

Chapter 24 Is Your Husband to worry too much.” “If you don’t want me to worry, then hurry up and make a baby. Damara is introverted and engaged in art and painting. You’re a man, and you should make a little advance!” Abner frowned, wondering what on earth that woman did to his grandpa to make him say such things. He had intended to argue back, but then Old Mr. Robinson started coughing again. Abner softened his tone, trying not to offend his grandfather. “I’ll try.”
Old Mr. Robinson’s face brightened up. “I’ll be back next month. I can hardly run into anyone I know here in another country. It’s been ages since I’ve seen that girl, and I’ve missed her. While I’m away, make sure you protect her and don’t let anyone mess with her!” Abner frowned tightly. When Old Mr. Robinson went abroad, he had said he would retire on an island there, but now, less than a year later, he was already planning to come back. Abner had initially planned to divorce before gradually telling Old Mr. Robinson the truth. But if Old Mr. Robinson were to come back next month and suddenly hear about the divorce, he might faint from anger. The thought of that possibility made Abner’s face darken. He gripped the steering wheel with his long fingers, his expression gloomy. This marriage couldn’t be ended for the time being. Chapter 24 Is Your Husband Maltreating You? At least not during Old Mr. Robinson’s return. Not only that, but they also had to pretend to be lovey-dovey. It seemed necessary to talk with that woman. 40 (Vouchers After receiving a fever-reducing injection and intravenous fluids at the hospital, Damara finally regained consciousness. She slowly opened her eyes, greeted by the unfamiliar white surroundings. Frowning, she attempted to sit up. But halfway through, her strength drained, and she almost fell back down. Roman, who had returned with the water, quickly supported her. “Don’t move. You had a fever of almost 104.” Damara’s tense nerves gradually relaxed upon hearing this familiar voice, but before she fainted, the
memory of the scene tightened her heart once again. “Where is Mr. Robinson?” Roman sighed and poured her a glass of water. “I wanted to ask you. Why was he with you?” Damara took the glass and had some water, moistening her dry and h oa rse throat. “I haven’t had a chance to tell you yet. We won the A&U Villa project, so the studio doesn’t have to be sold for now.” Roman was taken aback momentarily, then moved, “You’ve been working hard.” Damara’s throat felt better, and she heard him ask, “But when did you 12:48 Chapter 24 Is Your Husband Maltreating You? get married?” 40 IVouchers Caught off guard, Damara almost choked on the water and quickly composed her words. “It’s been three years. I’m sorry I never told you.” “It’s private. It doesn’t matter you never told me. But I’ve never seen your husband pick you up from work in these three years. Even today, after you passed out, he didn’t show up. If Mr. Robinson hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have known you were already married.” Damara felt somewhat embarrassed and could only roughly repeat her explanation to Abner. “He is busy with work.” “No matter how busy he is, he shouldn’t neglect you like this. Give me his number, and I’ll call him. The doctor said you need to stay in the hospital for two days. If I must return to the studio, I can’t leave you alone here.” “Roman, it’s not necessary.” Usually, Roman treated Damara like a younger sister, apart from their professional relationship. Seeing Damara’s resistance, he hesitated for a while before finally asking. “Damara, just be honest with me… Is your husband maltreating you?” When the nurse gave Damara an injection just now, she lifted Damara’s shirt a bit, and Roman
accidentally caught sight of the bruises on her body. It looked like someone’s grip caused them.
