Chapter 223 The Feelings He Hid for Seven Years
After more than a year, the death of the Heyday Group's chairman was back in the spotlight.
The day after Philip got those anonymous documents, the news blew up everywhere, saying the former chairman didn't die by accident but because of a medication mix-up.
William had a heart condition, but on that fateful day, his life-saving meds got swapped with something deadly.
The two meds looked almost identical in shape and color.
It was said that William's wife had requested the authorities to reopen the investigation into the truth behind William's death.
But with over a year gone by since William's death, reopening the case was gonna be tough.
No one knew how the investigation will turn out.
But Philip had a pretty good idea of what was coming.
In October, Regina got another invite from the producers of "Post-Nuptial Passion," asking if she and Dougal could join an offline event.
Regina stood in front of the full-length mirror, staring at herself for a long time.
This year, she had a baby, went through surgery, and had a long recovery. She felt weak and tormented, like a flower about to wilt.
She'd been scared to look in the mirror for a while.
But as they say, love is like tending to a flower.
Maybe it was Douglas's careful attention that made her look almost the same as before when she stood in front of the mirror.
During her illness, her mind was like a rusty machine, working in fits and starts. But now, her memories were back, and her thoughts were getting sharper.
Her face, which had been pale for so long, now had some color, and her figure was as tall as ever, even a bit fuller, but the extra weight suited her perfectly.
The best part was her hair, which had been cut short but now reached her shoulders.
Regina looked at herself in the mirror and smiled faintly.
Just then, Douglas walked in.
Regina looked at Douglas, who appeared behind her. She was a bit stunned for a moment but quickly recovered. She turned and threw herself into his arms, wrapping her arms around his waist.
As time went on, their relationship grew closer.
"Why are you home so early today?"
"I went to the government to sign some documents, and it was almost time to get off work, so I didn't go back to the office and came straight home."
Regina joked, "Mr. Semona, you're playing hooky."
"Yep, playing hooky to be with Mrs. Semona."
Regina's smile deepened.
"Oh, by the way," Regina looked up and asked him, "Do you have time recently?"
Douglas already knew what she was getting at without her having to say it.
He'd also gotten the invite from the producers of Post-Nuptial Passion.
"I have time."
"Then let's go to that event?"
"Okay."
Regina had been thinking about attending the event for a while, but Douglas agreed without hesitation, like he'd support any decision she made.
"Then I'll reply to the producer."
Regina said as she picked up her phone and sent a text message to the producer of Post-Nuptial Passion.
The producer was thrilled to get the news.
They quickly confirmed the time and place with her, worried any delay might make them change their minds.
The producer was super patient and asked Regina if she had a specific venue in mind.
They even mentioned that "Post-Nuptial Passion" had made a ton of money, so budget wasn't an issue. They'd even rent out the National Opera House if she wanted.
Regina didn't take long to reply: [Could you please contact the Dubbing Club at Normon University for me? My preferred venue is the gymnasium at Normon University.]
After a moment, she added: [Not the two new ones, the old one.]
Normon University had been around for over a hundred years and had three gymnasiums. The oldest one dated back to the last century. Despite many renovations, it still had that old-school charm.
The producer was a bit puzzled when they got her message. Why would Regina pick an old gym for such a big event? Shouldn't they go for the best?
But they didn't question it and respected her choice.
With the help of the Dubbing Club at Normon University, the offline event for "Post-Nuptial Passion" was quickly set at the old gymnasium.
The producer wasted no time announcing the news on the official "Post-Nuptial Passion" account.
As soon as the news dropped, it was like a bomb went off, making headlines all over social media.
Regina was a bit stunned by the reaction. She always thought this was a niche thing. Even though she had voiced some famous works before, it had never been this big.
Miranda told her, "This is totally normal. We're in the internet age. Even an ordinary person can go viral with a video. Plus, you and Dougal are a big deal!"
Miranda was practically their superfan. "Who wouldn't envy your love story!"
Seven years of love he had never shown.
His enduring love through all the ups and downs finally led to marriage.
Regina slowly realized this and soon retweeted the official "Post-Nuptial Passion" announcement.
She wrote: [Looking forward to meeting everyone.]
Douglas followed suit, retweeting her post with his Dougal account.
That day, besides retweeting Regina's post, Douglas also posted another one.
The photo, a close-up of hands, was taken at Matt and Lily's celebration party.
Nicole was the photographer and had asked them to pose. Douglas found it odd at the time but went along with it.
The photo showed two children's hands holding each other, with Douglas and Regina each extending a hand, forming a heart shape around the children's hands.
The comments blew up: ["Ah, they have kids! And twins!"]
[Such cute little hands! I want to touch them!]
[Oh my God! This is so sweet.]
[Does anyone have a ticket to the event? I'm willing to pay ten times the price for one!]
[Me too, looking for tickets!]
The news that Dougal and Regina would attend the "Post-Nuptial Passion" offline event at Normon University caused the thousands of tickets released by the official account to sell out in a minute.
Not to mention thousands, even if they released tens of thousands, many people would still miss out.
Some said "Post-Nuptial Passion" was based on their story, and everyone was eager to meet the mysterious protagonists from the tale.
