However, as she turned around, she saw the figure outside the security door. Poe Vaughn stood outside, not leaving, even after the "conversation" ended and Yvonne Rhodes came up, he did not leave. He stood there openly, seemingly not thinking he was at fault. Yvonne saw him and was not surprised. She had heard the sound earlier and could roughly guess whose footsteps they were, so seeing Poe Vaughn now, she was unsurprised. She stepped out and spoke, "Here?" A deep sound overflowed from Poe Vaughn’s throat as he said to Yvonne, "I’ll go over first." He didn’t ask about the previous situation, nor did he ask what they talked about, as if his presence was just to say hello. Just happened to see. After greeting, he left. Yvonne felt no issue with Poe Vaughn’s attitude, nor was she surprised. She said, "Go ahead." Poe Vaughn no longer lingered, his gaze turned, and he walked steadily forward, the aura around him unchanging. What was before, remains now. Yvonne stood there, watching this extraordinary man walk away, then pulled out her phone and dialed a number: "Come and take someone away." One sentence, the call ended. She put down her phone as Poe Vaughn had already turned the corner, disappearing from view. She turned, looking at the person who had fallen at the corner without a sound, and the contempt and disgust in her eyes rose again. Such a woman, even one more glance is too dirty. Poe Vaughn turned the corner again, and the scene ahead appeared in view. Outside the emergency room, more than a dozen members of the Rhodes Family waited anxiously, worried and uneasy. No one spoke, yet their composure was unstable. Because the old man’s health had always been good, he rarely visited the hospital, especially at his advanced age now, going into the emergency room raised worries of whether he could come out again. They were all very worried and also angry. They knew very well, it was all because of Ronia Ackerly, all because of Hayden Rhodes. If it weren’t for them, the old man would not be . Poe Vaughn looked ahead, as he appeared, his steady footsteps echoed in the quiet corridor, catching everyone’s attention. The steady and powerful footsteps sounded like a drum, resonating steadily, tightening the hearts of everyone here and drawing their attention. Including Hayden Rhodes, who was struggling to stand up, leaning against the wall to catch his breath. He looked at the person coming from the front corner. In a suit, tall and indifferent, he came from afar, his gaze deep and unfathomable. He looked ahead at the emergency room, his eyes reflecting the scene of the emergency room, the dozen anxious people outside, even the white walls on either side—everything clearly visible in his eyes. Except for Hayden Rhodes. He was not within his gaze. Not a single place for him. He watched Poe Vaughn, this composed figure coming step by step, getting closer and closer, and he was stunned. He looked at this tall figure, a face that was extremely good-looking and also very much like Mina Vaughn’s, his heart suddenly stabbing painfully, and then, his eyes felt as if a knife was gouging them, the pain preventing him from looking at this face. Yet at this moment, he seemed to be paralyzed, forced to look. He stood there, unmoving, just like a fool, watching Poe Vaughn, watching him walk over, passing right by him, coldly without a trace of warmth or emotion. They were like two of the most estranged people in the world, unrelated in any way. He wouldn’t even spare him a glance. The pain in his heart suddenly amplified, so painful it seemed difficult to breathe. His face turned pale, and the eyes watching Poe Vaughn lowered, even his waist bent. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ noᴠelfire.net He clutched his chest, and in an instant, began to cough. As if something was tumbling in his chest, wanting to pour out. The corridor was very quiet, and with Poe Vaughn’s appearance, the silence intensified, so quiet one could hear a pin drop. At this time, Hayden’s cough suddenly rang out, breaking this quiet and also shattering the astonishment of the dozen people ahead. Everyone looked over and saw Hayden Rhodes clutching his chest and coughing severely. However, no one came over, nor did anyone care. Because inside the emergency room lay an elderly man. Hayden Rhodes is insignificant, what does he matter? No one cared about his survival, including his own son, Poe Vaughn. His footsteps did not pause for a moment, steadily going forward, as if the sudden painful coughing held no sound for him, his gaze revealing no ripples. Heartless and unfeeling. Everyone looked at Hayden Rhodes, seeing him , and then turned their gaze to Poe Vaughn. Moments ago filled with anger and grief, upon seeing Poe Vaughn, became close and warm. Yes, such a dramatic change. Quickly, they came over, with Chandler Rhodes speaking first, "Why did you come over?" He knew Poe Vaughn was busy, everyone knew. From founding Celestial Holdings to now, Poe Vaughn climbed step by step to heights difficult for an ordinary person to reach. But likewise, they clearly understood the many difficulties and obstacles he faced along the way. Though Poe Vaughn bore the Vaughn name, it didn’t mean The Vaughn Family could offer him anything. Reaching where he is now relied solely on himself, unrelated to The Vaughn Family and the Rhodes Family. Poe Vaughn looked at Chandler Rhodes, "Came to see grandpa." Poe Vaughn left the Rhodes Family while still in his mother’s womb, returning to The Vaughn Family, and since then, they rarely saw Poe Vaughn. Especially after Mina Vaughn’s passing, the times they saw him became even fewer. Although The Vaughn Family said nothing, they all blamed the Rhodes Family. If not for Hayden Rhodes’s infidelity, their daughter wouldn’t have left while pregnant, nor would she have died in a car accident when the child was still young. All was inextricably linked to the Rhodes Family. The Vaughn Family may not speak, but the Rhodes Family members all understood. Thus, since then, Sharon Sheridan forbade the Rhodes Family from contacting Poe Vaughn, and they understood. This was why their interaction with Poe Vaughn became increasingly less. From Poe Vaughn’s childhood to adulthood, to now, they could count the times they saw him. Mostly seen by chance at certain events. Otherwise, never visible. As for the Rhodes Family elder, he was ultimately Poe Vaughn’s grandfather, and the Rhodes elder kept thinking about this grandson, even shamelessly seeking to see Poe Vaughn, so in Poe Vaughn’s eyes, the elder held significance. During usual holidays, Poe Vaughn would still send gifts to the elder. Especially, every year, a few days before the elder’s birthday, Poe Vaughn would find time to visit him. He would visit before, not on the elder’s birthday, avoiding contact with the Rhodes Family. Yet even then, everyone felt happy. In Poe Vaughn’s view, he acknowledged this grandfather. The Vaughn Family raised him exceptionally well. And now, hearing him personally say "grandpa," brought tears to everyone’s eyes. This child, truly has been through so much. It’s the Rhodes Family that owes him, owes his mother. Chandler Rhodes’s eyes slightly warmed, then he blinked, smiling and nodding, "If grandpa knows you’re here to see him, he’ll definitely be very happy."
