The Heartbreak Prescription

Horace stiffened. "Nothing happened—"

Wendy cut him off quickly. "Nothing happened between you and Ms. Olsen. Is that what you wanted to say? You say it so often that it just rolls off your tongue, and I've memorized it, too."

Horace fell silent.

Wendy arched a graceful brow. "Nothing happened between Ms. Brewer and her assistant, either. But since you're so bothered by it, maybe it's fair to say that her feelings about you and Ms. Olse aren't hard to understand, either."

Horace had no response.

Wendy went on, "I've looked into it. I know that Ms. Olsen's parents' death has something to do with the Larson family."

Horace looked at Wendy and chuckled. "You actually investigated the?"

Wendy smiled slightly. "I know you've been trying to make things right with Ms. Olsen, but there are many ways to do that. You could try a different approach."

Horace was silent for a few seconds. "I understand."

Then, he left..noveldrama

Wendy followed quickly. "Wait, let me go back with you!"

Horace drove back to the Larson family's estate and parked his luxury car on the lawn.

Jessica and Ida were already waiting for him in the living room and had seen his arrival. As soon as Horace walked in, they were ready to put on a show.

Ida stood up immediately. "I know I can't stay here any longer. I'm leaving now!"

Jessica grabbed Ida's arm. "Don't go! You have nowhere else to turn. Your parents died because of the Larson family. My dad said that this is your home. Please don't leave!"

Ida squeezed out two tears, her voice trembling with sadness. "Please don't stop me. There's no place for me here anymore. Staying would only make me a joke!"

Horace strode into the room. "What's going on here?"

Jessica rushed to his side. "Dad, Ms. Olsen wants to leave!"

Horace turned to Ida. "What's wrong?"

Ida looked up with a pitiful expression. "Just let me go... I just can't stay here anymore."

Jessica frowned. "Dad, Ms. Olsen hasn't married all these years, and she's still a virgin, Last night, she was in your bed, and you left her alone. What kind of reputation does that leave her with? Besides, I don't think Mom can accept her. She can't stav or leave. I feel so sorry for her!"

Tears streamed down Ida's face as she sobbed, "It's just my bad luck. My parents died early, and I became an orphan. I don't blame anyone..."

Horace frowned deeply as he took in the scène, then said, "If you want to leave, then leave."

What?

Jessica froze, and Ida's crying stopped.

Both of them stared at Horace in shock.

They had hoped this drama would make Horace change his mind and beg Ida to stay. After all, her parents had died because of the Larson family, and Horace had spent years trying to make amends. He had promised to take care of her for life. He said the Larson family was her home.

A man like Horace always kept his word, and they never thought he would change his mind.

Yet, he had just told Ida to leave.

Ida looked at Horace in disbelief. "What did you say...? You want me to go?"

Herace's expression was calm. "I'm not the one telling you to leave. You said you wanted to leave yourself."

Ida stammered, "I-I..." She wanted to scream that she didn't really mean that!

Horace replied, "I did say this is your home, but if you feel staying here only causes you trouble, then go. I've already transferred
