Benjamin Shaw shook his head slightly, "No need to be so polite. Taking care of patients is my duty. Besides, your body hasn’t fully recovered yet, so you should rest more. You can treat me after you’re well." Stella Fletcher smiled a little sheepishly, "Alright then, I’ll definitely treat you when I’m better." Benjamin Shaw looked at her, his eyes filled with concern, "Take good care of your health these days, and don’t overthink. If you need anything, just tell the nurse or call me." A warm feeling surged in Stella Fletcher’s heart. "Okay, thank you, Dr. Shaw." In this unfamiliar hospital, Stella Fletcher felt the warmth and care brought by Benjamin Shaw. She really lacked love; her parents worked away from home and were often not by her side, so she rarely received their care. Since childhood, she had lived with her grandparents. After graduating from university, she came to Aethelgard, rented a small apartment, and struggled alone until now. She thought she had finally made it and could prove her abilities. Never did she expect that all of this was just a scheme and a deception. "Master Hawthorne, as per your instructions, Yara York has been sent to prison, and the evidence has been handed over to the police." Caden Hawthorne sat on the sofa, his long legs crossed, playing with a string of Buddha beads in his hand. "Hmm, well done." Caden Hawthorne nodded slightly. "Now the York Family is completely finished," Zachary Sutton said with a face full of delight. "It’s not enough; I want the York Family to go bankrupt and be driven out of Aethelgard forever," Caden Hawthorne said coldly. As long as the York Family was still in Aethelgard, he couldn’t rest easy. "Now, apart from the Everett, who else in Aethelgard dares to cooperate with the York Family? They’re not far from bankruptcy." Caden Hawthorne put away the Buddha beads and wore them back on his wrist, "No matter what means, three days, I give you three days to make the York Family go bankrupt." "Three days?" Upon hearing this, Zachary Sutton’s face darkened, "Master Hawthorne, isn’t this making it difficult? The York Family is one of the top companies in Aethelgard, and I..." Caden Hawthorne lifted his gaze slightly, revealing a hint of authority in his eyes. "What? Can’t do it?" Zachary Sutton hurriedly shook his head. "Not that I can’t, but three days is really tight. But rest assured, Master Hawthorne, I will try my best to complete the task." Caden Hawthorne nodded slightly. "Hmm, go on." Zachary Sutton turned to leave, secretly calculating how to bankrupt the York Family in three days. He knew it was a daunting task, but he didn’t dare defy his dear brother’s order. After all, he was a gangster boss, and as a subordinate, he had to survive under his leadership! As soon as Zachary Sutton left the Hawthorne Family, he received a phone call, "Hello..." "What did you say? You’re coming back to the country?" Zachary Sutton, upon receiving the call, was exceptionally excited. A melodious voice of a man came through the line, "Yes, I’ve completed my studies, and it’s time to return home." "Great, brother, you have no idea, while you weren’t here these years, I was almost exhausted by Master Hawthorne. Hurry and come to rescue me!" "Alright! By then, you and Cousin will throw a welcome party for me, won’t you?" "Absolutely, you’re my good brother, we can’t do without you!" After hanging up, Zachary Sutton felt particularly joyous. He seemed to see himself soon escaping the days of being "exploited" by Caden Hawthorne. Mrs. Hawthorne was answering a call on the couch in the living room, while Riley Hawthorne was enjoying a bag of chips watching a drama. "Really? Little Ze is coming back? When?" Mrs. Hawthorne was delighted to hear her sister’s son was returning. "Mom, who are you talking to on the phone?" Riley Hawthorne asked curiously. Mrs. Hawthorne made a shushing gesture and continued chatting with her sister on the phone, "That’s great. You two have been waiting for this day, right? When Little Ze comes back, your family should have a good gathering." After hanging up, Mrs. Hawthorne said, "Just now, your aunt called to say your cousin is returning to the country." Riley Hawthorne’s eyes lit up. "Cousin is coming back? That’s wonderful! I haven’t seen him in ages." Mrs. Hawthorne nodded with a smile. "Yes, your cousin has been studying abroad these past years; it’s time he comes back. When he returns, we should have a nice family reunion." Upon hearing this, Riley Hawthorne happily said, "Great! Cousin and I haven’t seen each other for years. I wonder if he’s grown taller or gotten more handsome." Mrs. Hawthorne, seeing her daughter’s excitement, jokingly said, "You only care about looks. Your cousin will definitely be more mature and composed when he returns this time." Riley Hawthorne stuck out her tongue. "Of course, Cousin has always been outstanding. I can’t wait to see him." Just then, Vivian Lynch came down from upstairs, seeing the mother and daughter so joyful, she couldn’t help but ask, "Mom, Riley, what’s got you so happy?" "Well, it’s : Caden’s aunt’s son, who is my sister’s son, my nephew, will return to the country in a few days. We haven’t seen Little Ze in three years, and we kind of miss him." Upon hearing this, Vivian Lynch nodded slightly, "I see! Why haven’t I met Aunt since I married Caden?" Mrs. Hawthorne sighed, "My sister married far away, living over in Cinderport, and we only see each other once a year. They were busy with their business this New Year, so they didn’t come over." With that, Mrs. Hawthorne smiled, "However, they said they’d come to Aethelgard for a visit when Little Ze returns. Then you’ll be able to meet them." Vivian Lynch smiled and nodded. "Okay, I look forward to meeting Aunt and her family." Riley Hawthorne excitedly said, "Sister-in-law, Cousin is really outstanding; you’ll see when he comes back." Vivian Lynch, seeing Riley Hawthorne’s expectant look, also felt curious about this soon-to-return "Little Ze." As night fell, after feeding the kids, Vivian Lynch put them to sleep. Caden Hawthorne came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, having just finished a shower, and saw Vivian Lynch sitting by the bed, unconsciously touching her stomach. Watching her action, Caden Hawthorne stopped drying his hair, took steps towards her. "Vivian, what’s wrong? Is your stomach uncomfortable?" Vivian Lynch snapped back to her senses and shook her head, "No, I was just thinking about the scar on my stomach." Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩 Due to the C-section delivery, even with the best stitching techniques and Caden applying scar-fading cream every day, there was still a faint scar visible. Upon hearing this, Caden Hawthorne sat beside her, took her hand, and said, "Vivian, it’s okay, I’ll find a way to remove the scar on your stomach." Hearing this, Vivian Lynch furrowed her brows, turned to Caden Hawthorne, and couldn’t help but ask, "Caden Hawthorne, I have a question for you." "Go ahead," Caden Hawthorne looked at her gently. Vivian Lynch lowered her gaze and cautiously asked, "I’ve heard that women who have given birth have scars on their stomachs and their bodies change shape. When that happens, will you dislike me?"
