"Hello, boss. Sorry for this interruption," it was his personal assistant and he sounded nervous.

"What is it?" Jeremy frowned. He put the call on speaker so he could still read the report using both hands.

"About the meeting tomorrow morning with the Sun corporation," Jacob started, unwilling actually to tell the boss but this was important.

"What about it?"

"I've received a call from the company. The meeting will be at 10.00 a.m. instead of 12.00 p.m. and the CEO wants to discuss it with you, not with a representative," Jacob explained worriedly.

Jeremy pinched between his brows. Why it felt like someone was trying to interrupt his chance of wooing Ryn?

"Why can't Mika handle the meeting?" Jeremy asked.

"I told him the Vice will meet him when I was confirming the meeting but he said he wants to meet you… only you."

Jeremy pushed the iPad away and cancelled the speaker. He put the phone to his left ear so he can speak better.

"Send me the number of the CEO and his name. I'll talk with him," Jeremy decided. Of course, the meeting was important to get the investment they needed for the new project but for him, Ryn was more important.

And for Ryn, what was more important was her father's health.

He waited for the numbers and then quickly called the CEO. He shut off the engine and got out of the car.

"Hello, Mr Gabrielle Sun? I am Jeremy from Long from Full Moon Corporation," Jeremy started when the call was answered. He smiled, knowing that although the receiver could not see his smile but his tone changed into friendliness when he smiled.

"Ah… the CEO of Full Moon Corporation," Gabrielle smiled as he put down the pen he was holding.

"Sorry to interrupt your busy day," Jeremy apologized with a chuckle.

"For what do I have the privilege of having CEO of Full Moon Corporation to call me in person?"

"About the meeting tomorrow," Jeremy did not beat around the bush, just go straight to the point. He turned so he was backing the hospital building and put a hand in his pocket.

"Ah… I heard you want to send an assistant for the meeting," Gabrielle sounded a bit angry despite not raising his voice.

"She's my little sister and will be taking over the company," Jeremy corrected.

"But does she have full authority?" Gabrielle asked, "Especially when it's a huge project you're working on? How do you expect us to give you the money to invest when I can't see your sincerity?"

"Are you questioning our sincerity?" the temper almost slipped out of him but Jeremy managed to control it.

"Should I?"

*~*~*~*

She checked the time and found it only several minutes since her sulking father entering the room. Earlier, he had his blood and pee taken. They could not do full check-up as it was a walk-in and her father did not take the medicine to empty his gut. But for Ryn, beggar could not be chooser, so she would accept whatever she could get from the doctors.

She quickly stepped forward when her father finally walked out from the X-Ray room.

"How is it, father?" she asked him, holding onto his arm, worry for his sake and at the same time making sure he could not run away.

"So troublesome," he murmured sulkily right after thanking the man inside. He continued being sulky even though he was all smile in the X-Ray room.

"Right," Ryn said as she pulled her father back to waiting area right in front of the doctor room they went earlier.

"I am fine I am healthy. Why do you bring me here? Wasting money checking a healthy man like me," he mumbled sulkily, crossing his arms.

"Oh my God, why are you still like this? People will think I am an unfilially daughter forcing you to suffer when all I want is for you to be happy and healthy."

"Hmph," he glared at her childishly.

"Father, please. Stop being childish. I'm still tired from all the travelling I had these past weeks," Ryn sighed tiredly. She was rubbing her head. Actually she was having a headache on and off. Usually, she would have a day or two off after long days of working abroad but she immediately went to her parents right after she arrived back to the country.

"Well… I didn't ask you to come back," he murmured, this time with guilty in his voice. He and his misses hated to burden their only daughter with their problem. That was why he was shocked when his wife told Ryn about his high blood pressure problem.

And he repeated back his displeasure at his wife when they were alone in the bedroom last night after both were shocked seeing their daughter came with her ex-boyfriend without warning.

"You have some sleep. I will wake you up when the doctor calls me," her father said, patting her shoulder. He even took off his jacket to cover her body but she refused.

She had the sweater Jeremy gave her before the duo entered the hospital. Jeremy told her to use his sweater as it was larger and more comfortable.

And she used it without feeling awkward at all even though it belonged to her ex-boyfriend. It was an automatic action from her.

Her father watched as she slowly fallen asleep. It seemed like his daughter was exhausted. He sighed and rubbed her back to make her feel better. Then, after he patted her back a few times, he stopped and stood up.

He went to the counter and asked the women there whether they could watch over his daughter while he went somewhere. One of the nurses lifted her head to check who he meant and gave her agreement.

Then, he walked to the door, looking for someone. He looked around at the large parking lot and sighed when he saw a familiar man.

Luckily Jeremy was quite a tall man, just like his own daughter.

He made his way to his supposed to be son-in-law and paused when he saw Jeremy was talking in the phone.

He waited patiently and tapped Jeremy's shoulder once Jeremy ended the call.

"Yes, uncle? Are you done? Where is Ryn?" Jeremy asked, looking around for his love but could not find Ryn anywhere.

"I still need to see the doctor for the final diagnose," the elder man replied with a scowl. Even though he felt sorry seeing how tired his daughter was but he was still unsatisfied when being forced to come here.

He refused to accept he needed to do full check-up just because his own daughter anxious about his own health. He was a big man and has his wife to take care of him. His daughter should just stay be a cute daughter as she was and stop 'mothering' both of them.

"Where is Ryn?" Jeremy asked.

"She's tired so I told her to sleep," he answered and frowned, "How long are you two going to stay here?"

Jeremy paused. How should he answer this?

"Are you going back today?" the elder man asked hopingly.

"Aren't you happy Ryn is back?" Jeremy asked back when he noticed the hope in the elder man's eyes.

"Of course I am happy. Who won't be happy to have his daughter come back? Of course, I am. But you know how Ryn is when she's worried. She's mothering her own father like I am the child," he complained full with sulk.

"She cares about you and Aunty," Jeremy said with a smile.

His face softened. Of course, he knew how filial his daughter was and how much they loved her but sometimes Ryn acted more like the parents than her parents.

"I know that," he said slowly.

"Uncle, why don't we return back inside. Ryn must be worried when she wakes up and you're not there," Jeremy said.

"Aren't you afraid you'll be recognized if you go inside," her father cocked an eyebrow. He was a bit sceptical seeing Jeremy yesterday, knowing how popular this man in front of him was. Wasn't he afraid to be recognized by his fans? Won't the news of him being here spread like fire once someone caught his photo?

"I believe my fans will respect my private time," Jeremy said with a grin. So far his fans respected his off time, especially when he graciously allowed them to take not one but two photos with him.

"I don't know about that," her father murmured as both finally walked back into the hospital.

True to Jeremy's thought, Ryn was frantically looking for her father. She woke up when the nurse called her father's name loudly and upon when she opened her eyes, her father was not next to him.

"Father, where have you been?" she cried, reaching for his arms and looked at him worriedly.

Her father looked at Jeremy for help but Jeremy just shrugged. Jeremy was on a quest to woo Catherine so of course, he would not do anything that will make Ryn angry.

I'm sorry, Uncle. You're on your own. I am Team Ryn forever and ever.
