Meanwhile, at the hospital.
The attending physician discussed Zoe’s current condition with Matthew.
Indeed, the surgery performed yesterday was successful. However, for some unknown reason, today the patient’s mood has significantly dropped, greatly affecting their post–operative
recovery.
‘Such occurrences are usually linked to the patient’s psychological state. You should try to have a conversation with them.”
Afterwards, Matthew headed to the ICU.
At first, Zoe was still asleep. It might have been the feeling of someone nearby that prompted her to open her eyes.
The instant she saw Matthew, she wondered if she was dreaming. Tears welled up in Zoe’s eyes. “Thank you, Matthew.”
“Take good care of yourself, you’ll be discharged soon,” said Matthew.
Upon remembering how close Matthew had been with Aurelia that morning, Zoe felt a pang of unease in her heart. She gently asked, “Could you stay and keep me company, Matthew?”
“Sure, I’ll stay until visiting hours are over,” Matthew agreed.

Zoe’s discomfort eased as she got what she wanted.
She was probably irreplaceable in his heart.
As long as she wanted his company, he would unquestionably stay with her.
“Are you heading back to Jacaster soon?” Zoe inquired.

Such dedication was admired by many.
Every minute, every second of his time was precious.
With these thoughts in mind, a sweet smile formed on Zoe’s lips.
“I’ll need to leave two days from now,” he said. “Gordon will handle all your subsequent matters. If anything comes up, just give Cordon a call.” Matthew gave a nod in response.
He had just asked his assistant, Gordon, to book his flight back to Jacaster with Aurelia.
While on the ship, Aurelia mentioned that she would return to Jacaster in two days.
He calculated the time, realizing he could go back with her.
Upon hearing Matthew mention that he would be leaving in a couple of days, Zoe pursed her lips.
“All right, I’ll take good care of myself. Once I’m done with my graduation matters, I’ll return to Jacaster. Then, you won’t have to visit Kenfort so often, and I’ll be able to take care of grandma
once I’m back.”
At the mention of “grandma“, a softness touched Matthew’s features. “All right,” he said, “Take good care of yourself.”
Zoe was looking at Matthew, noticing that he looked better than he did yesterday. She immediately smiled and said, “Matthew, you really did listen to me and took a good rest. You look much better today, and your eyes aren’t red anymore.”
Matthew paused for a moment, his mind drifting back to the previous night. He had held Aurelia in his arms, sleeping soundly until morning, a sensation of complete relaxation washing over him.
He was well aware that his insomnia had eased because he had been sleeping with Aurelia in his

“Indeed, I did go to bed early and had a good sleep last night,” Matthew reflected, thinking of the sensation of holding Aurelia in his arms, which softened his heart. Even his typically stoic and aristocratic visage softened ever so slightly.
Zoe believed it was her accomplishment.

most valuable asset. If you struggle with insomnia daily, even the strongest physique will eventually wear down.”
After she found out that Matthew had trouble sleeping, she tried all sorts of advice.
.
Previously, under her advice, Matthew would rest a bit earlier. However, ever since she left for university in Kenfort, there was no one to watch over him. His insomnia had always been a serious issue.
Once she returned to Jacaster, she decided she would stay for work. She would then be able to watch him rest from time to time..
Matthew nodded, and then the nurse approached to remind him that his time was up.
As Matthew left, Zoe felt a pang of reluctance. Nevertheless, her spirits had notably lifted.
ta
Restoring her health promptly was now her priority.
She also had to graduate smoothly.
Then, she would be able to return to Jacaster!
After leaving the ICU, Matthew said to Gordon, “Let’s head back to the hotel and rest. We’ll leave things here to the caregiver.”
“All right, I’ve already booked the flight tickets,” responded Gordon.
In reality, Zoe’s condition wasn’t as serious as she had portrayed. There was no necessity for her to return to Jacaster for surgery; it could have been performed in Kenfort itself. This strongly suggested that Zoe had exaggerated her condition when she spoke to Matthew a few days earlier.
However, he couldn’t voice these thoughts to his boss.
In fact, he could sense that his boss was aware of the truth. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to keep Aurelia company after making arrangements at the hospital, unless it was absolutely
necessary..
After glancing at his wristwatch, Matthew found that it was the perfect time to head back to the hotel.
“All right, let’s go.”
Aurelia didn’t retire early to bed. After taking a bath, she lay down and opened up Amazon to handle orders.
For some reason, there were a lot of orders today.
She was tasked with evaluating a wide array of things, a diverse assortment covering everything under the sun.
Even a woman who had previously sought her out was there. Unlike the last time when she

painting.
It was clear at first glance that it was an antique painting with quite a few years behind it, possessing considerable value.
Particularly, the sentiment conveyed by this painting was such that it could easily ensnare one’s mind. The viewer could be drawn in by the utopian world depicted within the artwork, a place filled with familial joy and happiness.
Especially for those who lacked familial bliss, their pre–existing notions were overturned after viewing this ancient painting.
This wasn’t a painting crafted by a traditional artist.
The esoteric knowledge hidden within, which could deeply enthrall people, was likely the work of some remarkable talents from the early Middle Ages.
This painting should have been destroyed a long time ago. Surprisingly, someone had kept it, and it even ended up in this woman’s possession.
Any man who caught this woman’s attention was truly out of luck.
If he had enough willpower and his love for his wife was unwavering, then all would be fine. The fear was that he might, for a moment, be bewitched by a beauty’s charm.
The woman: Is this painting truly an antique?
Aurelia looked at the inquiry, her eyebrows furrowing. She texted: Why are you seeking my appraisal?
The woman replied: For some reason, I have this gut feeling that you wouldn’t lie. Plus, I’ve checked the review section of your orders and there isn’t a single negative comment. Quite a few big shots even mentioned how unique your taste is. I won’t question anything else, all I want to know is whether this painting is truly an antique.
The buyer probably knew that Aurelia wasn’t the type to resort to unscrupulous methods, so they had only one simple request.
Aurelia’s gaze deepened before responding with a simple “yes“.
Just then, there came a knock at the door.
She was somewhat taken aback. Had Matthew returned so soon? Didn’t he have a key card that could let him in directly?
Could it be that he forgot to take the room key?
“Matthew…”
Is this really Matthew?
She thought that Matthew had completely disregarded her since he now had Aurelia by his side.
In that moment, tears welled up in her eyes, as if a surge of injustice had suddenly washed over
her.
Matthew noticed the instant reddening of Zoe’s eyes and furrowed his brow subtly. “The attending physician filled me in on your condition,” he said gently. “Did something cross your mind just now that’s affecting your mood?”
Zoe bit her lip, feeling a wave of

express aloud. She simply shook her head and replied, “I’m just a bit scared. Worried that if my health doesn’t improve, it might impact our future. And with graduation approaching, I’m afraid it could be affected too.”
“There’s no need for you to worry about these matters,” Matthew comforted. “Your surgery was a great success. Your school has been in touch with me, so don’t stress over graduation. It will all go smoothly.
