His Eagle Eyes on Me

"You're overthinking it. Appendicitis is common," Hayden said.

Just then, Avery called.

Seeing his mother's incoming call, Hayden already knew what she was going to say.

He answered the call, spoke a few words with his mother, and hung up.

"Do you have something to attend to? If you have something to do, go ahead." Shelly assumed he had some urgent matter to attend to.

"It's my mom. She said she wants to come and see your mom. It's a bit late tonight, so she won't disturb you. She'll come when your mom has the surgery," Hayden explained.

Shelly's eyes welled up with tears. "Hayden, thank you to you both."

"There's no need to thank us."

The two walked through a long corridor and arrived at the special care ward.

This ward could not be accessed by money alone; one had to have certain privileges to stay there.

Mrs. Taylor was already lying on a clean and spacious bed, looking pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the ward was.

It was clean, without any unpleasant odors, and the space was large; the bed for guests alone was 1.5 meters long.

Moreover, there were various medical devices in the room, and one would feel embarrassed to stay there without having a more serious illness.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

After Hayden and Shelly entered, Mrs. Taylor immediately spoke excitedly, "Hayden! You've transferred me to such a good room. Isn't it a waste of medical resources? I'm just having my appendix removed. There's no need to stay in such a nice room."

Hayden responded, "Mrs. Taylor, no matter what the illness, you need to rest properly. Since they managed to arrange for you to stay here, there shouldn't be any issues. Don't think too much about it. Rest wel tonight and wait for the surgery."

"Okay, okay! I'm really grateful to you! I feel so bad that you have to come all the way here to see me at this time. Go back and rest now!" Mrs. Taylor said. Hayden replied, "Sure."

"Mom, I'll go back with Hayden for now. I'll come back after getting our daily amenities," Shelly said.

"Alright. Go ahead, the two of you!"

The two left the hospital and drove towards the villa.

"If there's anything wrong with your mom at the hospital, just let me know," Hayden said while driving.

"Sure, but there shouldn't be any issues. It'll be tough for you to stay here this week. Will your parents say anything?"

"They won't. Now that they know your mom is in the hospital, they'll understand."

"But why aren't you staying at home when my mom is in the hospital?" Shelly mumbled to herself. "At this point, I don't really mind if your family finds out about Audrey. believe your whole family is good-hearted people."

Hayden remained silent.

He could not predict how his parents would react to finding out about Audrey.

"My mom might be able to understand your actions, but I can't say the same about my dad," he said. "My dad loves girls."

"Well, I don't have any choice. If your dad wants to take Audrey away, I can only accept it." Shelly had prepared herself. "I'm content to go to your house to see my children." "That's not what you said before."

"That's because I was facing you

alone." She gazed up to study his side profite. "Your dad can arrange such a wonderful room in the hospital for my mother, and I can't. I believe that Audrey would lead a better life with your parents."

The discussion resulted in a lot of tension.

After a brief moment of silence, Hayden said, "Shelly, don't be overly pessimistic. I will spend more time with you, and if being with you isn't that bad, I want to give you a chance."
