Chapter 21 It Is Not About Pleasing Grandma.

Finished

There was silence from Xavier’s end for a few minutes. He had covered the phone, not letting Aurelia hear what they were discussing.

Aurelia was somewhat worried.

But within a few minutes, Xavier’s voice could be heard again.

“Auri, there’s nothing to worry about. It’s just some minor issues. I’ll go handle them first. You should rest well, and if you still don’t feel well, you should go to the hospital, all right?”

*All right.”

Aurelia didn’t press further. She understood Xavier’s personality. Since their childhood, Xavier, being the eldest brother, had always assumed the responsibility of looking after his younger siblings. He would never let his family worry about anything he could handle himself.

She opened the banking app on her phone and checked the remaining balance.

David had given her fifty percent of the money for the restoration of the antique painting, promising to deliver the remaining amount upon completion.

She had over eight hundred thousand now.

Upon graduating from university, Xavier became part of a scientific research company. However, for reasons unknown, his salary remained low. Further complicating matters, he had signed a ten–year contract, which he couldn’t easily terminate without facing substantial penalties for breach of contract.

In her previous life, before the car accident, Xavier had always been stuck in his career, unable to make any further progress.

But in this life, she was determined to do everything within her power to help them.

This money was far from enough.

As thoughts swirled, unknowingly, sleep had once again taken over her.

Yet, in the room across, Matthew was unable to fall asleep for quite some time.

Perhaps it was the stark contrast of previously being able to sleep peacefully in the Quigley residence, but now, the more he attempted to rest, the more alert he found himself becoming, which inexplicably irritated him.

He got out of bed, planning to go downstairs to drink a glass of water.

When he stepped out of the room, he noticed that the light in Aurelia’s room was still on. A flicker of emotion passed through his eyes, and he walked over.

He knocked on the door three times.
