Sunny helped Maxwell to his feet. Matching his pace, they slowly walked toward the exit.


    As they passed by Xante, Sunny leaned over and whispered, "I''ll take my dad to the driver outside now. I''lle back to find you in a bit, so wait for me."


    Xante nodded and adjusted her golden-rimmed sses before turning back to continue her conversation with Aaron and Annie.


    After Sunny and Maxwell left the ward, Aaron chuckled and teased, "Xante, I can see Mister Sunny is quite serious about you. Ever thought of getting married just like Annie and me?"


    Aaron had his arm around Annie as he spoke. They looked really happy and intimate.


    Xante rolled her eyes at him. "Is this the right time for suchments? The boss'' family just went through a major crisis, and she''s just woken up. How can you crack jokes at a time like this? Have you forgotten that we owe what we have now to her?"


    "Hey, you got the wrong idea about me again! I just felt the atmosphere was a bit heavy and wanted to lighten it up!" exined Aaron in a more serious tone.


    Xante scoffed and ignored him. She turned to Annie and said, "I pity you for marrying such an idiot."Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    Annie shrugged. "Well, I had no choice. I had to take him in so he wouldn''t roam freely and harm other innocent girls!"


    Xante gave Annie''s shoulder aforting pat. "They should give you the Nobel Peace Prize."


    Hearing this, Aaron pulled Annie into a corner. "What are you saying? You ''had to'' take me in, you say? Do enlighten me just how reluctant you were." Annie rolled her eyes. "In any case, I was quite reluctant."


    Aaron lifted her chin. "Why don''t we get a divorce now if you''re so reluctant? Give me back my freedom so that I can find other girls to y with!" Annie widened her eyes. "Don''t you dare!"


    Aaron immediately chuckled. "Rx, I was only kidding! You can tease me to Xante, but I can''t crack a joke?"


    "Hmph!"


    Sunny apanied Maxwell into the elevator. As the doors closed, he noticed a familiar girl running toward the elevator entrance.


    Maxwell noticed Sunny''s unusual expression. "What''s wrong? Did you see someone you know? If it''s a friend, go say hi. I can go to the car by myself."


    Sunny immediately shook his head. "No, it''s not someone I know well. I just remembered seeing Corinne visit another woman at a different hospital once. I don''t know who that woman was. There was a little girl in her hospital room. Just now, I saw that little girl running toward the elevator here. I wonder why she''s back at this hospital."


    Maxwell acknowledged with a nod but did not pay much attention until the elevator reached the ground floor and opened. It seemed like Maxwell suddenly realized something.


    "Sunny, you mentioned Corinne visiting a woman at this hospital before. How old was that woman?"


    Sunny found Maxwell''s reaction a bit strange. "Uh... Around her fifties, but she looked much younger and well-maintained. She had some injuries and was hospitalized. By the way, that hospital was the same one where you stayed for a while. When I found out Corinne visited a stranger, I had my people look into the matter. Strangely, the hospital couldn''t find any information about her, and they transferred to another hospital afterward."
