"Oh, right." Sawyer glanced at her before continuing, "I heard Mr. Ye is pursuing you? No wonder he specifically ca to look at your profile before. I thought you two were... ahem, let's not talk about the past. Mr. Ye bought desserts for everyone in the crew. Such a good man, you should play hard to get and then accept him. I can tell Mr. Ye genuinely likes you."
Really, does he like ?
Aurelia nodded, sowhat dazed, "I know, I'll go back and rest first."
As she walked out, the staff enthusiastically greeted her with desserts, "Aurelia, thanks to you, I had the chance to eat such expensive desserts for the first ti in my life." "Yeah, Aurelia, we're all benefiting from your luck."
Everyone made their comnts but noticed her unhappy expression, exchanged looks, and sensibly left her alone.
Back at the hotel, she threw herself onto the bed, burying her head under the pillow, letting out a deep sigh, feeling so tired, the most exhausted she had ever felt.
She closed her eyes and fell into a drowsy sleep.
She didn't know how long had passed when she was woken up by the sound of her phone ringing. She groped for the phone, looked at the caller, and answered, "Hello, Ursa, what's wrong?"
"Aurelia, Aurelia," Ursa's voice sounded anxious, "I can't find anyone else, please, please save ."
The drowsiness disappeared instantly, and she sat up abruptly, "What's wrong? What happened? Tell slowly."
She hung up the phone, changed her clothes, threw on a trench coat, got Sawyer's car keys, and rushed out, bumping into Eliza returning at the entrance.
Eliza's face turned dark and nacing as she grabbed her arm, "Aurelia Shaw, don't think you've won! I won't let you off easily."
Aurelia had no desire to tangle with her, "Eliza Fletcher, I never intended to compete with you. You've always been playing a solo act. Don't you find it ridiculous?"
Eliza was stunned. She quickly got into the car and drove away.
It was a while before Eliza ca back to her senses, staring in the direction of Aurelia's departing car, her fingers clenched.
It was already dark by the ti Aurelia drove on the highway. She navigated to the location Ursa ntioned, putting the pedal to the tal.
A one-hour drive.
Arriving at Ursa's house.
Aurelia stepped out of the car quickly. When Ursa saw her, tears couldn't help but flow. She grabbed Aurelia's coat corner and knelt down, "Aurelia, you're the only wealthy person I know. Please, help my brother. I'll do anything you want; I'll work for you my entire life to repay this favor."
Aurelia didn't like others making such grand gestures toward her, so she pulled Ursa up from the ground, "Let's talk standing up. Girls shouldn't just kneel to others. Where's your brother?"
"Inside the house," Ursa sniffled.
Her brows furrowed deeply again, her voice involuntarily lowering, "If he's so seriously ill, why not take him to the hospital?" She said, striding toward the house.
Ursa followed behind her, "Be... because... we can't afford the dical fees, even the examination fees... are almost unaffordable."
No one would ever want not to save their own family unless Ursa had no choice but to plead with her like this.
She walked into the house, greeted by the sll of traditional Chinese dicine and a room full of bottles and containers. The person on the bed was emaciated, and Ursa's mother was sitting vigilantly by the side.
