Ava had a moment where she wanted to just swear out loud. Is this guy ever going to stop? ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel⸺fire.net She kept it in, but inside she felt like a million llamas were stampeding. Ava’s face was terrifyingly stern, she gripped her phone tightly, took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. Don’t lose your temper. He’s doing this for my own good, yes, that’s it. He’s definitely not saying this on purpose, there’s no reason for him to make me angry since my anger does him no good. Self-soothing, suppressing her anger, Ava said in a steady voice, "Fine, I’ll go take it now!" She calmed herself but was just on the edge of snapping. Saying this, Ava got up immediately and left the study: "Mrs. Wei, where’s the medicine? Bring it over!" Ava shouted directly, her voice so loud as if she was afraid Poe Vaughn wouldn’t hear. Mrs. Wei was in the kitchen, she had returned to the kitchen after giving Ava the phone, watching over Ava’s medicine while not disturbing the conversation between sir and madam. Now hearing Ava’s voice, Mrs. Wei immediately responded, "The medicine is in the pot, I’ll bring it out now." As she spoke, Mrs. Wei grabbed a towel and carried out the medicine. Ava didn’t wait for Mrs. Wei, she walked straight into the kitchen, just as Mrs. Wei was bringing out the medicine, Ava said, "Give it to me!" Her face was stern as if she was about to drink a large bowl of wine. She needed to finish it to show her courage. Ava’s demeanor frightened Mrs. Wei, who didn’t dare to say anything and quickly handed the medicine to Ava. Ava took it instantly and started gulping it down. Mrs. Wei instinctively said, "Madam be careful..." The word "hot" was still in her mouth and not yet spoken, Mrs. Wei saw Ava tilting her head and pouring the medicine into her mouth just like drinking wine, it was grand. Mrs. Wei was stunned, her mouth agape, completely speechless. Ava didn’t hang up the phone, everything she said was transmitted over the line to Poe Vaughn’s ears, including the sound of her gulping down the medicine. Listening quietly, Poe Vaughn didn’t speak, but at this moment, the atmosphere in the car was no longer as cold as before. It seemed to have gained some warmth, like winter passing and spring arriving, the chill fading away. At the moment when the medicine touched her lips, Ava wanted to smash the bowl and stop drinking this medicine. But thinking about her health, she steeled herself and poured it down into her mouth. Usually, drinking water was not painful at all, she could easily gulp down a large glass of water very quickly, but now, this small bowl of medicine was seemingly endless. There were so many sensations, she wanted to throw up. Mouthful after mouthful of medicine went into her stomach, Ava’s face scrunched up. When the bowl was empty and there was no medicine left, Ava quickly lowered the bowl and said to Mrs. Wei: "Sugar sugar sugar!" By this time, her grand gestures of bravado had completely vanished. She seemed pathetic, her face scrunched up beyond recognition. Seeing her , Mrs. Wei couldn’t help but want to laugh. But hearing Ava’s words, she quickly said, "Alright alright, I’ll get it right away." Mrs. Wei hurried out of the kitchen to fetch the bag on the coffee table. Ava holding her phone, saw Mrs. Wei with the bag in her hand, hurriedly grabbed it and popped a piece of candy into her mouth, tilting her head back, trying to calm herself down. Mrs. Wei saw Ava holding her head back with the candy in her mouth, not moving, and blankly stared ahead as if she had been immobilized, she was stunned. Ava had never been before, making Mrs. Wei quite anxious. Madam better not have anything wrong, otherwise, it would be a hassle. Ava felt the sweetness spreading between her lips and teeth, overriding the intense bitterness, her tense heart gradually relaxing. Hearing Mrs. Wei’s voice, she said, "Don’t talk to me." She wanted to enjoy her candy. Let the bitterness completely fade away. Hearing her voice, Mrs. Wei was relieved. It’s good that madam is okay, otherwise sir and the elderly madam would be extremely worried. However, seeing Ava calming down, not frowning like before, her beautiful face relaxed, her bright eyes wide open, full of light. Mrs. Wei couldn’t help but want to laugh again. Madam is really adorable. Sister Wei no longer stayed to watch over Ava Sterling but instead washed the empty medicine bowl. Ava Sterling listened to the sound of the water. As the sweetness seeped into her stomach, it completely overwhelmed the bitterness, leaving none behind. She looked down, removed her lollipop, and sucked on it hard. The sweetness filled her mouth, and she smiled, saying, "Candy is still the best, so sweet." She talked to herself, completely forgetting that she was still on the phone with Poe Vaughn. Sister Wei heard Ava Sterling’s words, turned to look at her, and saw Ava sucking on the candy. Seeing the candy, her eyes were full of light. Sister Wei smiled, "Candy must be delicious." Who doesn’t like sweet things? Just like no one likes to live a hard life; everyone wants to live well, just the same. Ava Sterling said, peeling a candy and feeding it to Sister Wei’s mouth: "Sister Wei, you try it too." When the candy wrapper was opened, the fragrance of the candy instantly came through, carrying the scent of flowers and herbs, making Sister Wei stunned: "I... should I eat it?" Ava Sterling immediately said, "Yes, this candy is really delicious. I’ve bought various flavors; it’s not the saccharine sweetness, nor the white sugar kind you find outside. It’s fruit extract with added plant components, sweet but not cloying, exceptionally tasty." Ava Sterling said this, directly pressing the candy to Sister Wei’s lips, leaving her no choice but to eat it. "Okay, thank you, Madam." Sister Wei said, wiping her hands with a towel and taking the lollipop into her mouth. In their days, there were no candies available; even if there were, not every child could have them. Her family wasn’t wealthy, and generation after generation, it had come to extreme poverty in her time. Where could she get candy? It wasn’t until she joined the Vaughn Family that life gradually improved, but by then, she was no longer a child and didn’t cling to such things anymore. She only thought of supporting her family and raising her children; it was that simple. Time flies, and before she knew it, she had reached this age; how could she still think about candy? Even though she no longer lacked money for candy, she had passed the age for it and had long forgotten. At this moment, the candy in her mouth, the fragrant sweetness filled her mouth, and instantly it was refreshing, as if any difficult days could be overcome. At this moment, somehow, a wave of warmth was born in Sister Wei’s heart, and then it became scalding. Ava Sterling saw that Sister Wei had eaten it and immediately asked, "How is it? Delicious, right?" Seeing Sister Wei frozen with the candy in her mouth, seemingly amazed by how delicious it was, Ava Sterling was particularly satisfied. The crisp, clean sound beside her was especially simple and pure. Sister Wei blinked, her eyes unknowingly moist and warm. She thought of the days of her childhood, and in a blink of an eye, so many years had passed. Suppressing the emotions in her heart, Sister Wei nodded and said, "Delicious." As she spoke, she looked at Ava Sterling, her eyes slightly red, but all filled with smiles, a smile full of warmth and sincerity: "Thank you, Madam." Their Madam wasn’t a calculating person; she was straightforward, doing whatever she thought of and saying whatever she had in mind, with no scheming. In the Vaughn Family, such a major family, the mindset is deeper than ordinary people; especially Mr. Vaughn, he is utterly unfathomable. But at such a time, someone like her appeared in such a big family, just like a bird, accidentally flying into a paradise, free and lively, flying within it. Ava Sterling clearly saw the moisture in Sister Wei’s eyes and was surprised: "Sister Wei, really?" "I know this candy is delicious, but it can’t be so good that it makes people cry, right?" Ava Sterling thought Sister Wei was so amazed by the candy’s taste that it brought tears to her eyes. Sister Wei heard Ava Sterling’s words, immediately bowed her head, and laughed softly. "Yes, this candy is so delicious, I’ve never had such tasty candy, so good it makes you want to cry." Ava Sterling was immediately amused and helpless: "Alright, alright, I’ll give you this candy; there’s quite a bit left. You take it, and I’ll buy more." Sister Wei quickly said: "No need, Madam. I can’t eat so much; one is enough. Besides, we are getting older, and we can’t eat things that are too sweet." Ava Sterling stopped, remembering how older people tend to have high blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure, and frowned: "It’s okay, Sister Wei, don’t you have grandchildren? Give it to them; they’ll surely love it." With that, Ava Sterling looked at the small bag and suddenly said, "This is too little; I’ll reorder. You can take it back to them." With that, without waiting for Sister Wei to respond, Ava Sterling left holding her phone, sucking on her lollipop. She wanted to order delivery to buy more for Sister Wei’s grandchildren. But as she picked up the phone to order delivery, she noticed the phone was still in call mode. Had the person not hung up yet?
