Matthew, seated in the car, turned his attention to the commotion outside.
His gaze settled on Aurelia, who was helping Chad to his feet.

“Looks like Ms. Shaw is acquainted with the man who fell off the motorcycle,” Gordon remarked, leaning closer to the window.
Furrowing his brows slightly, Matthew shifted his focus to Chad, who couldn’t seem to peel his eyes off Aurelia. “Chad?”
“Hmm? Hey, it really is Old Mr. Gardner’s grandson, Chad,” Gordon confirmed, taken aback.
How did Ms. Shaw know Chad?
Matthew gave a hum in response, his gaze fixated on Aurelia, who seemed shaken.
Her usually composed demeanor was now replaced by a pallor of fear, unveiling a fragile side of her that was seldom seen.
“Should I go and help Ms. Shaw and Chad?” Gordon inquired, ready to exit the vehicle.
A small crowd had gathered, offering help.
It didn’t seem like they’d need his help.
He turned to Matthew, awaiting his directive.
“No need. Let’s head to the hospital,” Matthew instructed firmly, redirecting his attention away from
Aurelia.
Only then did Gordon remember they were supposed to go to the hospital that day.
Mabel insisted that Matthew visit the hospital for check–ups every two months due to his severe insomnia issues.
Each visit served as a precautionary measure to monitor any potential health concerns.
They had no other plans for the day besides the hospital visit.
With the help of bystanders, Aurelia and Chad were sent to the hospital. Meanwhile, Chad’s motorcycle had been taken away by the traffic police.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the hospital, where Chad underwent a battery of tests.
The results revealed a fractured left leg, necessitating surgery. While the fall wasn’t bad, it exacerbated the pre–existing injury in his left leg, leaving hospitalization unavoidable.
Upon learning he needed to be admitted, Chad’s expression soured. “It can’t be that serious, can it? I’d rather not stay in the hospital/Can’t I just get a c

“You’re a relative of the patient, correct? Please proceed to settle the payment,” the doctor instructed, looking at Aurelia.
She nodded in acknowledgment, Of course, I’ll take care of the payment now.”
As Aurelia made her way to settle the bill without offering any further explanation, Chad’s face flushed slightly. Did she just admit she was my relative?
Around ten minutes later, Aurelia recentered the ward.
Chad’s cheeks were still flushed. “How much did you end up paying? I’ll reimburse you,” he insisted.
“You can pay me back once you’ve received your paycheck. Besides, you should reach out to your family about this. A family member’s signature is requ
“My parents can’t make it, and it’s not convenient for my grandpa either. I could ask my uncle, but he’s swamped with work,” Chad responded, his eyes g
He hadn’t yet figured out how to disclose to Aurelia that he was Norman’s grandson, so he couldn’t have Norman come over.
With no other family members available, Jeremy seemed to be his only option.
Additionally, with no family around to care for him, he could feign pity and garner Aurelia’s sympathy.
Aurelia could tell that Chad had some concerns and thought of how he dropped out of high school. He must have his own reasons for not being able to c his education.
“In that case, ask your uncle to come and sign the surgery consent form. I’ll drop by with food whenever I can, and if you need anything, just have the nu

Chad’s eyes sparkled with anticipation when he heard Aurelia mention “drop by with food.” I can finally taste Aurelia’s cooking!
Aurelia checked the time. “There’s still one medical report pending, It should be ready now. I’ll go fetch it.”
“Aurelia, you’re a lifesaver,” Chad expressed, touched by her consideration.
In that moment, Chad realized it was impossible for him to ever love anyone else in his lifetime. His heart belonged solely to Aurelia.
With a gentle smile, Aurelia replied, “Take good care of yourself and rest up.”
While Aurelia tended to the bills, Chad dialed his uncle, Jeremy.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
After their conversation, he settled back onto the hospital bed. Despite the discomfort in his leg, a sense of contentment washed over him.
As Aurelia prepared to deliver the medical report to the doctor, a pair of shocked, familiar voices interrupted her.
“Auri?”

“It’s really you, Auri!”

Aurelia’s expression hardened before she even lifted her head when she heard those voices.
Standing before her were none other than Gina and Curtis.
Curtis approached swiftly. “Auri, are you here to visit my mother? You’re not angry anymore, are you?“
“Auri, did you come to see me? I’ve missed you so much these past few days,” Gina added with a hopeful
tone.
Externally, Aurelia maintained her usual composure, but beneath the surface, she battled a rising tide of frustration. Curtis had learned of her call to Phyl
However, they were short of money for the time being.
Gina had sent Curtis to seek assistance from Melanie, only to be met with rejection, as Melanie feared potential misunderstandings within their family. It
“Aurelia’s absence made each day feel even more challenging. Her days in the hospital had been difficult,
and the prospect of hiring a caregiver seemed financially out of reach.”
“Auri, can we go back to how things were before?” Curtis implored, his urgency palpable. “Considering the bond we’ve nurtured over the years, can’t you trust me again? Let’s seal our commitme
His plea carried genuine anxiety.
In these trying times, Curtis often found himself reminiscing about their high school romance, a time when the love he shared with Aurelia felt pure and boundless.
Somewhere along the way, he had thought their love had diminished and started entertaining feelings for Melanie instead.
Now, faced with the reality of their situation, he realized the depth of his mistake.
Not far off, Matthew observed the unfolding scene, his lips curving into a subtle smirk.
Gordon’s eyes widened. “Isn’t that Curtis? Ms. Shaw’s ex–boyfriend?”
Why does it look like they’re still together?
Since Aurelia had her back facing them, what they saw was Curtis‘ affectionate and sincere demeanor.
Moreover, his words rang clear in their cars–he was proposing to her.
According to Gordon’s investigation, Aurelia and Curtis shared a long–standing relationship that lasted for many years. Their love blossomed during their school days, pure and beautiful.
Gordon discreetly glanced at Matthew, noting no discernible change in his expression.

With one hand casually tucked into his pocket, Matthew fixed his gaze on Aurelia. A sudden surge of inexplicable irritation welled within him.
Is she going to forgive the man who had once betrayed her?
“Auri, it’s all been a big misunderstanding. I’ve set things straight and had a stern talk with Curtis. He won’t allow those women near him anymore, and t photos circulating. It’s been a while since you visited me, and I’ve missed you terribly. Can you please reconcile with Curtis?
