Ava Sterling doesn’t claim to know that person well, but she probably knows more than outsiders, right? Ever since the two met, when has he not sought her out for something? So, this time is no exception; he must have some business. Ava squinted as she tapped her fingers on the blanket, rhythmically. Her experience tells her that this time, he’s looking for her because of family matters. Could it be about his grandmother? Quickly, Ava dismissed this possibility. If it were the old lady, she would definitely call her. Besides, from the day she met the grandmother, she obviously felt that the old lady was particularly open-minded and hardly ever bothered the younger generation for trivial matters. In the grandmother’s eyes, the younger ones have grown up, have their own thoughts and ideas, and know what to do without her worrying. So, it must be something else? But beyond that, Ava couldn’t think of anything. She’s not one to rack her brains unnecessarily. If she can’t think of it, she doesn’t bother. Ava has always been open-minded. Anyway, when he comes tonight, he’ll say it, and she’ll just listen then. Though he seems cold-blooded and indifferent, appearing aloof, his character is pretty good. Character, character is very important. She values that aspect greatly. Relaxing now, Ava contentedly watches TV, feeling great. Poe Vaughn hangs up the phone, the elevator doors open, and he walks out, exuding an aura: "Notify all departments; meeting in five minutes." The night quickly descends; after dining at five pm, Ava urges Lauren to leave, telling her to rest well and come back tomorrow.

Ava didn’t want to waste words or explain much to her, so she directly asked her to call Vincent and have him arrange for a care worker to look after her. Vincent thought Ava was worried about Lauren and didn’t want her to endure hardships alone, so he nodded, saying he would arrange a caregiver and Ava wouldn’t be left alone, which finally gave Lauren some peace. Yet she still didn’t want to leave: "But can a caregiver be as attentive as me?" Ava had said enough and didn’t want to nag anymore, she directly said: "I’ll give you two options; either you pack your things now and head back to the hotel to rest, returning to the hospital early tomorrow, or you pack up and return to your country now." Now Lauren had nothing more to say, reluctantly packing up and leaving: "Well... then Ava, if anything happens, you must call me immediately." Saying this, she looked toward Vincent, worriedly adding: "Doctor Vincent, if anything happens to Ava, you must call me immediately." "I will, don’t worry." Although she didn’t want to leave, under their gaze, Lauren still left, looking back frequently. Ava listened to the footsteps outside, moving further and further away until she could hear them no longer, finally breathing a sigh of relief. Finally gone, the person coming tonight mustn’t be seen by Lauren. Otherwise, it would be quite troublesome. Only then did Vincent notice Ava’s completely relaxed expression, as if she’d sent away a plague. His gaze shifted slightly as he asked, "You really don’t want Miss Halloway here?" Rarely did he ask aloud, catching Ava off guard, but it wasn’t a big deal, so she simply replied, "Yes, you figured it out. You have to help me keep it from her; she can’t know." Ava’s expression was particularly serious, as if this were a major issue. Her demeanor was indeed rather amusing: "Should I still arrange for a caregiver?"
