Poe Vaughn had already arrived at the elevator and pressed the button for the downward direction.
At this mont, the elevator dinged, and the doors opened.
He was about to step inside when a loud voice sounded from behind him.
He halted his steps at that instant.
Ava Sterling ran quickly, soon reaching Poe Vaughn. She grabbed his hand and stuffed the candy into it: "Candy!"
"If you’re too busy or too tired, eat so candy. It can relieve fatigue and brighten your mood."
Ava Sterling said, panting, speaking at a rapid pace.
Suddenly, Poe Vaughn’s hand was filled with cold, hard candy, but the hand holding his was warm, and together with the candy, this warmth traveled to his fingertips and flowed into his body.
"Alright, it’s fine now."
Ava Sterling handed all the candy to Poe Vaughn, retrieved her hand, clasped it behind her, and smiled brightly at him.
Candy, it’s a good thing.
Eat so candy when you’re unhappy, when you’re tired, when you’re thinking, and everything becos easier to resolve.
"Honey, let’s get in the elevator." Poe Vaughn didn’t enter, and the elevator doors automatically closed. Ava Sterling saw this and hurriedly pressed the button next to them, speaking to Poe Vaughn.
Poe Vaughn looked at the candy in his palm, a handful, not knowing how many, but a lot, filling his palm just as his heart was at the mont, also filled to the brim.
The cheerful and pleasant voice echoed in his ears, making his heart burn with warmth.
His fingertips curled, enveloping the candy in his palm. He looked at the person standing in front of the elevator pressing the button: "Don’t run around after work, I’ll co pick you up."
"Ah?"
Ava Sterling stood there, stunned.
Poe Vaughn stepped into the elevator, pressed the button for the first floor and the door close button.
The elevator doors slowly closed in front of Ava Sterling, leaving her standing outside, lip parted, unable to grasp the situation.
After work, don’t run around, he’ll co to pick her up?
Why?
What business does he have?
Otherwise, why co to personally pick her up?
Ava Sterling felt confused and found Poe Vaughn’s words strange and inexplicable.
Why suddenly co to pick her up again, usually Ava Sterling would definitely ask, but now that he’s gone, she couldn’t ask even if she wanted to.
Oh well, if he wants to pick up, let him pick up.
As long as he’s happy.
Ava Sterling stopped thinking about it, turned back ho, shut the door, and returned to the study to continue her lessons.
Today, with this delay and that delay, her lesson was stumbling through.
However, she’d already made up her mind beforehand, so even though the delay took up a lot of her ti, Ava Sterling didn’t feel annoyed.
There’s always a priority in matters, no matter how much work, it’s not as important as her benefactor.
The teacher watched as Ava Sterling returned, her appearance completely normal and unaffected by her relationship with Poe Vaughn, not showing any explicit or implicit superiority.
None at all.
She was the sa as she was when she first started.
At this mont, the teacher looked at Ava Sterling with a newfound admiration.
Miss Sterling truly is extraordinary.
With Poe Vaughn gone, Ava Sterling returned to the study, and the house returned to quiet.
Mrs. Wei was still in the house, hadn’t left yet.
As Poe Vaughn took out the dicine bowl, she followed him to the kitchen to clean it.
Upon hearing Ava Sterling running back and forth, even the sounds from outside, Mrs. Wei’s face was all smiles.
Whether at the Green Mountain Villa or The Kestrel Apartnts, wherever the Missus is, it feels distinctly different, like a ho with a hostess, a host, warmth, and belonging.
Truly wonderful.
Inside the elevator.
Poe Vaughn looked at the candy in his palm and then put them in his pocket. The elevator doors opened, and he walked out, heading straight towards the community entrance.
The car was already waiting outside, and old Zhang, upon seeing Poe Vaughn approaching, imdiately opened the back seat door.
Poe Vaughn walked over, his long legs stepping into the car, he sat inside afterward.
Old Zhang shut the car door and quickly got into the driver’s seat. Very quickly, the car started, and the black Bentley disappeared beyond the community gates.
The security guard watching, his eyes full of astonishnt: "I just checked that car, it’s a limited edition, very expensive."
Another security guard said: "No need to look at the car, just by looking at the person, I know they’re expensive."
"I don’t know who this person is to appear in our The Kestrel Apartnts."
"Although we’re all wealthy here, soone as distinguished as this, it’s my first ti seeing them, almost like a big Buddha entering a small temple..."
"It’s not just a big Buddha entering a small temple, I feel like the mont this person arrives, our place turns to ruin, nothing noble about it anymore."
"I think we should be more courteous to Miss Sterling in the future, no more gossiping about her."
"..."
Poe Vaughn got into the car, then took out his phone and dialed a number.
anwhile, at Aurelia City First Hospital.
Outside the ergency room.
From the ti the old man was angered into hospitalization until now, an hour had passed, and the Rhodes Family had hurried here. At this mont, more than ten people stood outside the ergency room, all anxious and angry, glaring at Ronia Ackerly who was crying continuously in Hayden Rhodes’s arms.
No mistake, Ronia Ackerly was also here.
To be exact, it was because of her that the old man ended up like this.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have happened.
"I didn’t do it intentionally, I really didn’t do it intentionally, I just wanted to beg Dad to save Julian, I really didn’t do it intentionally, Hayden..."
Ronia Ackerly kept crying; her tears never ceased, as if the whole world owed her sothing.
Hayden Rhodes was helpless at her crying, especially at this mont, to push her away felt wrong, and not pushing her away felt wrong.
He knew Julian Rhodes was very important to Ronia Ackerly, very precious.
Now that Julian Rhodes was in critical danger, he understood her disregard as a mother.
But now their father was also in the ergency room, life and death uncertain, he too felt worried and anxious.
"Don’t cry anymore..."
Hayden Rhodes feared his voice too loud, might affect the ergency inside, so he said softly to Ronia Ackerly.
However, Ronia Ackerly didn’t listen; the more he spoke this way, the more fiercely Ronia Ackerly cried, even louder, almost as if afraid her voice wouldn’t reach into the ergency room.
"Hayden, let kneel here, I’ll kneel here until Dad wakes up."
"Whether Dad beats or scolds , I’ll listen to Dad. I don’t want anything now; I just beg for Dad to wake up."
Saying this, Ronia Ackerly was about to kneel on the ground, as if truly in deep pain and regret.
Hayden Rhodes imdiately supported her: "What are you doing? Even if you kneel, Dad can’t wake up right now. You should go back, you..."
"I won’t go back, I want to stay here, to watch over Dad. Otherwise, I can’t absolve myself even in death."
"Exactly!"
"You can’t absolve yourself. Without you, Dad wouldn’t have entered the ergency room. You need to leave now!"
"Disappear imdiately!"
A sharp voice ca from ahead, and everyone’s gaze turned towards it, especially Ronia Ackerly’s, her expression instantly changed, and her eyes flashed with a trace of resentnt.
For the person arriving was none other than the Rhodes Family’s fiercest character, Hayden Rhodes’s third sister, Yvonne Rhodes.
