Chapter 53: We Thought He'd Never Marry
Sonya smiled, seeing Mr. Reynolds pouting.
"I'm fine," he mumbled.
"Dad, you can ignore me, but not my wife!" Henry said cheekily.
Mr. Reynolds was about to explode.
"Dad,
let's skip the hospital. I'll give you a massage," Sonya said softly. Mr. Reynolds couldn't refuse Sonya, extending
his arm for her to take his blood pressure. It was high, but not dangerously so.
Sonya began massaging his hand, from palm to fingertips, asking about his daily routine, just like she would a
patient.
Mr. Reynolds, somewhat afraid of doctors, sat up straight, assuring her he hadn't been drinking or eating rich
foods lately.
"No?" Linda scoffed. "Who's been ordering takeout at the office-lobster, skewers, pork belly-and still smoking and
drinking, and not exercising?"
"I... I didn't."
"| installed cameras in your office. You can't hide it from me."
Mr. Reynolds remained stubborn, but silent.

After the massage, Sonya checked his blood pressure again; it was much lower.
"Quit smoking and drinking, exercise more-these are necessary. Your diet needs to be light, with a balance of
meat and vegetables," Sonya adopted her doctor's demeanor, furrowing her brow."At your age, high blood
pressure is dangerous; it can lead to other conditions. You must take this seriously."
"Yes, doctor. I'll listen to you."
"Good. Start with quitting smoking and drinking."
"Huh?"
"No?"
"O-okay."
"Excellent. I'll create a plan for you, a gradual approach."
"Can | have one drink tonight? As a farewell?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSonya shook her head."No."
She instinctively reached for her notepad, realizing she wasn't at the hospital. Gestational hypertension was
extremely dangerous; she'd projected that risk onto Mr. Reynolds, apparently scaring him. "Ahem, I'll monitor
you."
Linda nudged her son."Finally, someone your father fears."
At dinner, Sonya prepared a light meal for Mr. Reynolds. Under her watchful eye, he ate slowly. He considered
taking sbraised pork, but Sonya's slight cough stopped him.

"Once your blood pressure is normal, you can have your favorite foods occasionally," Sonya said, giving him
more vegetables.
Mr. Reynolds silently ate.
""Good. I'll take a walk with you
later."
"A walk?" Mr. Reynolds was shocked.
"Yes. Since you're busy and don't exercise, let's start with morning and evening walks, then gradually increase
the intensity. When was your last full physical?" "Not that long ago."
"Almost three years ago," Linda revealed. "Whenever it's tfor a checkup, he always makes
excuses."
Mr. Reynolds glared at Linda and looked down.
"Schedule a checkup."
"I'm very busy."
"How about Saturday?"
"I have a meeting on Saturday..."
"I'll handle it," Henry said cheerfully.
Mr. Reynolds glared at Henry, conceding defeat.
"Fine. I'll with you."

wife, | wouldn't go."
Sonya was initially hesitant, but seeing Mr. Reynolds's nervousness, she relaxed. "When did you take over the
family business?" Sonya asked, starting a conversation. Mr. Reynolds recalled his youth."I'd just graduated
college. | wanted to study abroad, but Grandpa Sullivan fell ill, so | had to join the company."
"Wasn't there Grandpa Jason Reynolds, your older brother?"
"Henry didn't explain clearly. My uncle's son is Jason Reynolds; Reynolds was founded by my father."
Sonya hadn't understood. She thought Grandma Reynolds had two sons-Henry's uncle and father-but they were
cousins.

"Shortly after Grandpa Sullivan passed away, | had to take over. Many problems surfaced, pushing Reynolds to
the brink of collapse."
"That must have been difficult.”
Mr. Reynolds nodded. "It was incredibly hard. Reynolds almost went bankrupt. The turning point was one
project."
Mr. Reynolds recounted the crisis, highlighting his foresight, decisiveness, and leadership in saving Reynolds.
