Winning Her Heart Back

It Was Worth the Trip 

When William woke up, it was already late at night. The moon was obscured by thick clouds, and not a trace of light seeped through them. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

As he regained consciousness, the sensation in his body returned as well. He instinctively raised his hand to cover his slightly aching liver, accidentally tugging at the IV in his hand. 

The person closest to his bed, Jayden, was the first to notice that he was awake. “Will, you’re finally awake. 

Others who had been sitting on the sofa also stood up and approached the bed, Among them were Ashton, Ellas, Charles, and Bryan 

Jayden asked, “How are you feeling? Should we call the doctor?” 

William shook his head, his voice was hoarse. “I’m fine.” 

“You were almost not fine,” Jayden 

said 

care of yourself at all. According to Ms. Jones, you were coughing in Mercianna. You flew He couldn’t help but scold him. He continued, “You don’t take c back to Capebatt City in economy class on a flight that lasted more than ten hours. Why are you punishing yourself like this?” 

As William silently lowered his gaze, shadows fell on his pale cheeks. He placed his palm on the mattress, trying to sit up. Charles was standing at the end of the bed, so be pressed the button to adjust the bed’s height to a 60–degree angle, allowing William to sit up and lean 

on it 

“Thank you,” William said. 

“You’re welcome,” Charles replied. 

Charles was quite curious. “The doctor said your blood pressure was erratic due to severe emotional fluctuations. What happened? Did something happen in Mercianna or did you meet someone there?” 

His question seemed like a test 

Elias found the question annoying, and he stared at Charles. “What do you mean by that?” 

Charles shrugged innocently, “I didn’t mean anything. I’m just concerned about Mr. Middleton.” “It’s just that the negotiations with the Aurora Group didn’t go well William coughed Lightly. 

Ashton immediately added, “Yes, they thought the Xanther Group would be easy to manipulate because we’re a new company. Hence, they proposed tough conditions. 

“However, since the collaboration with the Aurora Group is crucial for us, Mr. Middleton compromised in the end. This was the first time he ever made a concession” 

In other words, Willan was upset because of the Aurora Group’s demands. Her explanation made sense. After all, about. He had never bowed to anyone before. 

this 

is was William they were talking 

“Let me handle them next time.” Bryan showed his support and concern. “Health comes first, Mr. Middleton. You need to take care of yourself.” William replied coolly, “I will. Thank you for staying so late, Mr. Swanson and Mr. Davis. I’m fine now. It’s getting late. Ms. Jones will see you out.” With that, Ashton said, “This way please, Mr. Swanson and Mr. Davis 

Bryan and Charles bid their goodbyes. “Take care, Mr. Middleton. We’ll visit you another day,” 

Although these two were supposed to be their close partners, they were constantly testing each other. 

After they lett, Ellas closed the door to the room, clicking his tongue in annoyance. 

Not only did Beathan loathe Charles for associating himself with them. Ever since knowing Charles was close to Beathan, Elias also felt disgusted by Charles. 

Jayden set up a small table attached to the hospital bed and poured out some chicken soup that Ashton had ordered from a private kitchen. 

Jayden didn’t believe Ashton’s explanation. Given William’s character, he wouldn’t get upset over the Aurora Group. 

“Even if you lost the SAM bid to the Filo Group and Wesley, you shouldn’t neglect your health because you’re upset,” Jayden said, thinking Willian was upset about lesing SAM to Wesley. 

William glanced at him but neither confirmed nor denied it. It didn’t matter to him if the other familles believed Ashton’s explanation or thought something along the lines of what Jayden did. 

He stirred the chicken soup and faintly smiled. “Well, the trip to Mercianna was worth it. I met a worthy opponent.” 

Jayden asked, “An opponent? Is it Wesley?” 

Of course not 

William hadn’t realized who was behind everything until Wesley’s car accident. Finally, he learned that Wesley had a new secretary and suddenly understood it was her who had been competing with him for SAM. She was different from the past and had improved a lot. 

William’s dull gaze brightened slightly at the thought of her.

Elias didn’t care to figure out the riddles he was speaking in. Hence, he simply replied, “Anyway, Will, you need to take it easy. Your dad is already in poor health. If something happens to you now, your stepmother and stepsister would be so happy they’d throw a party.” 

William looked at him and said, “Instead of worrying about me, you should care more about Ms. Thornton. She’s five months pregnant, right? If she needs anything, let me know. Make sure she safely delivers the baby and recovers well.” 

Elias looked as if he’d seen a ghost. “Why are you so concerned about my wibe!!! 

William took a sip of chicken soup, the hot liquid reddening his bloodless lips. “Because I’ll need her help in the future.
