Ava Sterling glanced at the incoming call on the dashboard, then pressed her fingertip on the steering wheel and spoke: "Mrs. Wei." Mrs. Wei listened to the dial tone, her mind divided, but when Ava Sterling’s voice came from the phone, she immediately focused her attention, swiftly asked: "Ma’am, where are you right now?" As she said this, Mrs. Wei held her hand over the mouthpiece, lowering her voice. Upon hearing Mrs. Wei’s voice, Ava Sterling knew something was up and replied: "I’m on my way home. What’s wrong? Did something happen?" As Ava Sterling spoke, she glanced at the rearview mirror, then turned the steering wheel and quickly overtook. Mrs. Wei felt relieved when Ava Sterling mentioned she was on her way back. But soon, she said softly: "Ma’am, the sir didn’t eat much tonight and I wonder if he’s feeling unwell." Ava Sterling furrowed her brow, not eaten much? In Ava Sterling’s mind, Poe Vaughn had always been like a deity, a god never falls ill, always exalted, distanced from mortals, detached from the mundane. Could such a Poe Vaughn be unwell? Perhaps she heard wrong. Hearing Ava Sterling’s tone implied disbelief, Mrs. Wei hurriedly said: "It’s true. The sir is always regular with meals. I know how much he eats each time, but tonight he barely touched anything, hardly picked at the dishes." "I asked him if the dishes weren’t to his liking, and he said he wasn’t hungry. How is that possible? He’s never said something like that before. He must be feeling unwell." "Ma’am, please come back quickly to check on him. Our sir is always so busy, I’m worried he’s worn himself out." Mrs. Wei’s words came out one after another, filled with concern, as if something big was happening. Ava Sterling, troubled by her words, furrowed her brow deeply. "I’m on my way back now, should be there in about half an hour. You should ask him if he’s feeling unwell and if he needs to go to the hospital." "If someone is unwell, it’s better to go to the hospital. Returning won’t help much." That’s the honest truth; if he feels unwell, she’s not a doctor. Mrs. Wei, hearing Ava’s apparent ignorance, got anxious: "Ma’am, you know the sir’s temperament. Usually, we don’t dare to speak much with him; everyone is afraid of him. Only you can." "Please come back soon. I won’t say more." In a hurry, Mrs. Wei hung up the phone. The busy tone filled the car, and Ava Sterling’s face followed her furrowed brow. Is he that intimidating? He’s just difficult to approach, but he’s really nice, as long as you speak properly, there’s no issue. Ava felt Mrs. Wei didn’t understand Poe Vaughn well enough. As she thought so, Ava stepped harder on the gas pedal. After all, he would be the father of her future children, she couldn’t let anything happen to him. A rush of speed fully showcased Ava Sterling’s driving skills, and in less than half an hour, Ava’s car screeched to a halt outside the villa gates. By that time, the sky had darkened, and the lights inside the villa were exceptionally bright. Poe Vaughn still sat on the sofa watching TV, not having moved, only the news broadcast ended as time passed. The piercing sound of the braking reached him, dropping into his ears, prompting his eyes to flicker with depth. The aura surrounding him shifted. And at this moment, with his change, the previously silent atmosphere eased, and livened up. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novèlfire.net Ava Sterling turned off the engine, didn’t even take her bag, and rushed inside the villa. As soon as she ran in, she saw Poe Vaughn sitting on the sofa watching TV, seemingly fine, causing Ava to blink. Was he not feeling unwell? How come he’s still watching TV? Though puzzled, Ava didn’t doubt Mrs. Wei’s words, since Mrs. Wei had been around Poe Vaughn for a long time. If she said so, he must be unwell. Moreover, Poe Vaughn’s nature was to hide his thoughts; he might not admit it even if he felt unwell. Thinking so, Ava Sterling rushed in without changing shoes, quickly came to Poe Vaughn, sat close to him, reached out, and immediately touched his forehead.
