“What did the doctor say?” Aurelia asked, worried about Mabel’s condition.

She knew that Mabel had always had heart issues. Mabel had undergone several bypass surgeries and was frequently admitted to the hospital.

Various renowned doctors had determined that Mabel could only hold on for a maximum of three more years. That was why Matthew had signed a secre

Evelyn’s eyes were somewhat red. “The doctor said Old Mrs. Quigley’s condition isn’t very promising. He hopes that the family can make her remaining days as joyful as possible. Who knows, there might even be a miracle.”

Aurelia’s throat felt dry and sore as she stood in front of the door and looked into the ward.

In the ward, Mabel looked extremely haggard, a stark contrast to her usual cheerful and kindly demeanor. Seeing her in this state was heart– wrenching.

Matthew silently observed Aurelia. Seeing the genuine concern and worry in her eyes, even if he had some unfavorable impressions of her, he couldn’t d

The words of Evelyn also served as a reminder to him, suggesting that his timing to propose the termination of the agreement seemed inappropriate.

“I’m not hungry. I’ll wait here for Grandma to wake up,” Aurelia said as she moved to the side and sat down.

Matthew sat down next to Aurelia.

Fortunately, the two didn’t sit for long before Mabel woke up.

The two immediately entered the ward.

Mabel looked at them, flashing a weak smile. “Did I cause you all to worry?”

“How are you feeling now? Should we call the doctor?” Aurelia’s voice was particularly gentle as if she was soothing a child.

“Those doctors don’t have many solutions. Why call them now that I’m awake? Auri, don’t worry. Hannah said I’m tough. I can still hang on for a few mor

While asking, Mabel sized up her own grandson.

There was a strong implication that if Matthew failed to take good care of Aurelia, she would not let him off easily.

A deep worry was hidden in Matthew’s eyes. Upon meeting his grandmother’s sharp gaze, he

Mabel’s gaze softened instantly. “Matthew is a good man. This is what he should do.” She then directed her gaze toward Evelyn. “Evelyn, hand me the it

Immediately, Evelyn pulled out a jewelry box from the bag.

“Give it to Auri.” Mabel signaled to Evelyn to hand the jewelry box to Aurelia.

Aurelia took it over.

“Matthew has been too busy to buy you a wedding ring, and as his grandmother, I couldn’t bear to see it. I told you to get this ring at the auction for you t

Matthew didn’t even bother to buy a wedding ring for Aurelia, leaving Mabel to worry about it.

Matthew furrowed his brows.

Aurelia was slightly taken aback. She didn’t open the jewelry box. “Grandma, the ring is too valuable. I can’t accept it.”

She dared not accept a ring worth a hundred million, nor did she feel worthy of it. She was to divorce Matthew tomorrow, and even the responsibility of s

And if she were to lose it, she couldn’t afford to compensate Matthew with a hundred million.

“Auri, no matter how precious a ring is, it’s just a material possession. How can it compare to the value of a person? Just accept it. This is my heartfelt gi

Aurelia found herself in a bit of a predicament, pondering on how to decline.

“Take it. It’s a token of love from Grandma. I indeed overlooked the matter of the wedding ring. Matthew admitted.

Aurelia turned to look at him.

A hint of surprise was visible in her pair of clear, beautiful eyes. Her thick long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Matthew’s gaze fell upon her eyes. He paused for a few seconds before saying, “Try putting it on

She planned to return the ring to Matthew when they were alone.

Upon opening it, Aurelia was astounded by the beauty of the ring.

It was true to its name Celestia. Any woman would be in awe by the sight of it and would want to possess it. Aurelia was no exception. The moment she saw the ring on h

“Beautiful! Your hands are already pretty, but now with the ring on, they look even more stunning!” Mabel complimented.

Matthew’s gaze was both deep and intense. The woman’s hands were slender, elegant, and fair.

The presence of the ring only served to amplify their allure.

Mabel gave Matthew a glance. “Auri’s hands are just suited for these shiny stones. You should buy her a few more in the future.”

“Grandma, there’s no need for that. It’s not very convenient for me to wear rings when I’m working. Buying it would just be a waste,” Aurelia said honestly

While she was restoring antiques, she couldn’t wear any accessories, including wristwatches..

Mabel chuckled. “Those shiny trinkets are kept in the jewelry box. Just looking at them can lift one’s spirits. When I was young, I loved not only diamonds

Aurelia nodded gently. “Yes, Grandma,‘I do have some understanding. I can discern the authenticity of most antiques. Do you have anything that you ne

“Not me, but an old friend of mine,” Mabel said. “I don’t know if it’s because he’s getting on in years, but he’s taken to buying all sorts of antiques recently his collection room and is looking for a trustworthy person to help him out.”

“Sure, Grandma. Once you’re discharged from the hospital, let me know when you plan to meet that friend. I’ll come with you.”

The two engaged in conversation for a while. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

In no time, Mabel grew tired. As she spoke, her eyes gradually closed.

Seeing that Mabel had fallen into a deep sleep, Aurelia and Matthew left the ward.

They could rest assured with Evelyn and the doctors present in the hospital.

They visited the attending physician to understand Mabel’s current condition.

When they arrived at Starry Sea Mansion, Aurelia was about to get out of the car when Matthew. stopped her. “Wait a moment.”

Aurelia sat back down, looking at the man before her with confusion.

The man was incredibly handsome. His appearance was nothing short of extraordinary. He was born with a certain nobility that set him above the rest.
