Audrey started preparing to go to Maria's house when there were still two minutes left before lunchtime.

When lunchtime started, she was ready to leave.

Her colleagues asked her, "Audrey, where are you having lunch?"

She smiled and said, "I have something to do. You guys go without me."

Audrey passed by Deegan when she left. He stared at Audrey's back, with fire in his eyes.

One of their colleagues saw Deegan staring at the back of Audrey, then asked him subconsciously.

"Hey, Mr. Deegan, it seems you have a very good relationship with Audrey. Maybe you are a couple?"

Deegan showed some disgust, "she and me? Come on."

But he suddenly felt that his attitude was too bad, so he smiled and explained, "Well, she and I are just friends."

...

Audrey received a phone call from Bryson when she had just arrived at the entrance of Maria's community.

When she told Bryson where she was, he asked her to send him the location, then he would pick her up.

After sending the location to Bryson, Audrey called Maria.

A few minutes later, Maria went out fetching two boxes on a small cart.

"I'm really sorry, Audrey. I should have given them to you before, but I was too busy." Maria looked at Audrey with a sense of guilt.

"Thank you so much. If you haven't kept these things for me, I'm afraid I would never be able to get them."

Maria shook her head, "I should say thanks. You and your grandma have made me what I am now."

Maria took a long sigh then.

Audrey took a closer watch on Maria, then she found that her white hair had become much more than the last time she saw her. She had also lost a lot of weight, and her tiredness could be even seen on her face. It looked like she had undergone long-term labor.
