Chapter 24

Maya had a terrible tolerance for alcohol, or rather, she couldn’t handle her alcohol at all. If Aveline hadn’t stopped her, she would have continued her raucous party in the private room. Aveline had never seen her clinging to men, saying that she felt like an empty–nest elderly woman.

Seeing her completely drunk, Aveline had no choice but to take her to her newly rented apartment.

A while ago, a nursing aunt found her looking for a place to live and recommended her relative’s apartment. Aveline thought that bypassing an agent would save her some money, plus with a nurse

vouching for her, she agreed.

The owner wouldn’t be back for a while, and they hadn’t signed a contract yet. Aveline had chatted with the owner and only began cleaning and moving in after obtaining their consent.

With no official record, Alexander couldn’t find her easily.

The small apartment, although nowhere near as luxurious as her previous life in the Blackwood family, had a cozy charm. She really liked it and had even got some tropical fish that her dad loved.

She could see the sea when she opened the window. She used to think that the Noble Springs Residence was a gift from Alexander. Little did she know that as soon as Nora returned to the country, she moved in.

For a long time, she was secretly sad. But now, she had come to terms with it. No matter how expensive the house was, all she saw was the same sea.

The apartment had a small terrace, which she had covered with a thick layer of blankets. She originally planned to wait until her father’s condition stabilized before taking him here to spend his retirement leisurely.

However, plans could not keep up with changes. She hadn’t expected to be diagnosed with a terminal illness, or for Anthony to end up in this condition.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Aveline’s stomach was uneasy. She took some medicine and lay

down in the small crib.

She had to curl up in this position to sleep a little, as that was the only way to do so.

Tonight, with alcohol’s help, she slept quite well. When she woke up, the sun was high.

Maya had already prepared breakfast ahead of her. They both avoided talking about the previous night.
