The Indifferent Ex-Husband Heartstrings in the Mall of Fate

Chapter 392

On one hand, Marian was anxious about her reputation potentially taking a hit, and on the other, the thought of the Frost family paying the price if the project tanked. Both prospects waged war within her, battling in a frenzy that she felt incapable of withstanding.

Neither outcome was something she could stomach.

She never imagined she'd have to face such fear and choices one day. She found herself in turmoil, feeling all out of sorts.

When Martin turned around, he noticed her complexion cycling between pallor and ghastliness. He couldn't help but furrow his brow, "What's up?"

Marian snapped back to reality and shook her head, "It's nothing. I've just been overtired from finalizing the revised plans and haven't been sleeping well."

Louis heard this and was immediately anxious, "Well, you must rest straight away. Don't run yourself into the ground over grandfather's sake."

Marian nodded, "Yes."

She said her goodbyes to Louis, Martin, and the others, then headed back to her

room.

Aaron got home, his mind buzzing with thoughts of Daniel being in the hospital. This was a golden opportunity to get closer with him.

Finding out which hospital Daniel was in wasn't tough for him.

Thanks to the two years since Sophia had married Brandon, Aaron, riding on the coattails of Brandon, had amassed an impressive network of contacts across various industries, a testament to his social savvy.

He made a few calls to his contacts at various hospitals and quickly found out where Daniel was staying, even got his room number, and learned that he was hospitalized due to a cerebral hemorrhage. Although now conscious, Daniel's condition was rumored to be unstable.

Aaron sensed his moment had arisen.

He happened to know a neurosurgery expert. If he could connect Daniel to this specialist and get him back on his feet, Daniel would owe him big time.

Flush with this exhilarating vision, Aaron meticulously prepared his gifts for visiting Daniel.
