The burns did not require much time to recuperate, and after a week, Hayden was able to walk on her
own.
The resort development project of ST Group had been delayed for some time, so after confirming that
there was nothing wrong with Hayden, Joseph went on a business trip overseas hurriedly.
“This project must be negotiated within three days. Once the plane lands, organize a meeting with the
team.”
At the airport, Joseph gave Magnus an order that looked impossible.
“Three days?” Magnus’s looked like he was surprised. “Mr. Beckham, the time is not enough. They…”
“I don’t want to hear any excuses. You lead the team on your own and continue to negotiate with them.
I’ll go back to Nanking directly as I have something to do.”
“Ah?”
Magnus could not believe what he just heard. “This is a project which is worth a few billion Yuan. What
else is more important than this matter?”
“A personal matter.”
Joseph’s eyebrows knitted slightly, tinged with a bit of resentment.
If he had heard the correct news, the man called Edison would be coming to Nanking this week. There
was no reason for Joseph not to go and meet this man, as he should know what the relationship
between the man and Hayden was.
…
“Now we only need to wait for the ventilation. The ventilation here is good and the office supplies
purchased are all second-hand like what you required, so it won’t take long for this building to be ready
to use.”
The captain of the renovation team met with Hayden personally, and Hayden paid the money for the
rest of the work after checking the condition of the building. Hayden felt excited looking at the new two-
storey building.
The style of the building was the industrial style that Alayna had mentioned before. The walls were all
smoky grey, which was resistant to dirt and attractive. The ground floor would be used as the
administrative office while the second floor would be used as the designer’s workroom and clothing
showroom.
Although the place was not big, it was also considered as a place that was built together by her and
Alayna.
When she thought of Alayna, she couldn’t help but call her and expectedly it was answered by Kevin.
“How is Alayna these two days?”
“She could recognize people now. She looked well but was always sleepy. A man was staring at the
window for quite a long time yesterday and I was afraid that something might happen so I asked
someone to come and install a security window.”
Kevin’s condominium was on the thirty-first floor, and the installer would think Kevin was crazy as no
people would install a security window when one lived on such a high floor, as only Spider-Man could
climb through the window and steal something.
“Thanks a lot.”
Hayden sounded helpless, “If you really can’t hold on to keep an eye on her day and night, I suggest
you take her to the hospital. Alayna told me that she would recover faster if she was hospitalized.”
“No need. I can keep an eye on her.”
Kevin said firmly. He should have made up his mind and refused to let her be hospitalized.
Hayden couldn’t say anything more. It was better to have someone to take care of Alayna than no one
else, not to mention she had seen the situation in mental hospitals. It was mixed with all kinds of people
and she felt like she was almost driven crazy when she went in, let alone when Alayna was already in
such a critical period.
“She has slept a lot less today than she did yesterday already. If you are free, you can come and see
her too. You are always welcomed to be here.”
“I will go there one day. The renovation of my company had finished and I am going to share the news
with her. If there is nothing else for me to do, I’ll see her when I’m done.”
“Okay.”
After they chatted for a while, she hung up the call.
Hayden could not bear to talk too much to Kevin. If Alayna was still conscious, she would never have
allowed herself to be seen by Kevin when she was in this state, but unfortunately, Hayden was not with
her at that time. Hayden always felt that it was her negligence that caused Kevin to be dragged into this
mess.
On the other end of the phone, Kevin put his phone aside and glanced back at the bedroom.
The curtains were closed and the light was dim. Alayna was already asleep.
The notification of the phone sounded and a text message quickly popped up. The message was from
‘Sister’.
“Mummy asked me to bring you something. I’m downstairs of your condominium now.”
Kevin’s hand trembled and he almost dropped the phone on the ground.
…
In the house of the Beckham family, Stella had been playing with the LED light board in the courtyard
for the whole afternoon.
Freddie’s concert would be held right at the Nanking Stadium at night. Stella had taken two tickets for
the VIP area in advance. She was a big fan of Freddie and of course, she had to go to the concert to
support him.
“Noah, are you really not going?”
Stella played with the light board which wrote ‘Freddie, Chase Your Dream, Stella Will Always Support
You.”, while asking Noah who looked unhappy, “Noah, I have two tickets, are you sure you don’t want
to go with me?”
Noah disgustedly glanced at the LED light board and then shook his head with absolute certainty. He
wrote a line of words on the drawing board and then pressed the voice button. The AI mechanical voice
rang out in the courtyard.
“No way, the song he sings isn’t good at all. Besides, it is very noisy watching the concert on the
scene.”
Stella pouted and glared at Noah, “Don’t talk bad about Brother Freddie like that. I’m going to get
angry.”
Noah became even more frustrated and he typed a line of words quickly, “I’m your brother. You should
call Freddie as uncle instead of calling him as a brother.”
“No no, he’s not. He’s my brother.”
Stella was so furious that her little face turned red.
At that moment, an excited voice came from the direction of the other entrance of the courtyard.
“It’s the light board of Brother Freddie!”
Eleanor quickly stepped through the door of the courtyard and rushed into the courtyard. She pointed
at the light board on the stone table and said excitedly, “This is the light board of Brother Freddie. Are
you two going to the concert of Brother Freddie too?”
Eleanor had just started junior high school, but because of malnutrition earlier, her body size was still
like a primary school student who hadn’t grown yet. She looked very skinny.
“Are you also a fan of Brother Freddie?”
Stella stared wide-eyed at Eleanor who should be called as ‘Little Aunt’ by Stella. Stella did not interact
with Eleanor very often.
“Yes.” Eleanor nodded her head very seriously, then she said regretfully, “But the tickets were snapped
up as soon as they came out. I didn’t get the ticket so I could only watch the concert outside the
venue.”
“I have the ticket for you!” Stella immediately raised the two tickets to show her. “Do you want to come
with me?”
“Really?”
Eleanor took the two tickets as if they were treasures. She was so excited that she did not know what
to say, “Oh my god. They are the tickets for the area where we can interact with Brother Freddie. We
can see Brother Freddie very closely.”
“It’s not just for the interactive area. You can also go backstage as I have a close relationship with
Brother Freddie.
Stella was so proud of herself that she didn’t notice that while the two of them were happily discussing
the concert, Noah looked extremely angry behind them.
That was his ticket! Just now Stella promised him that she would give him the ticket. How could it be
given to someone else just like that?
“I remember you. I remember you. You’re the one who participated in the travel show with Brother
Freddie.” Eleanor looked at Stella’s face and she only knew their relationship after some time.
“Oh my god. I didn’t even notice you at that time. I was so focused on looking at Brother Freddie.”
Stella touched her head in embarrassment, “Haha… It’s all in the past. Mark is coming to pick me up
later. Let’s go together.”
“Okay, okay. I have a lot of snacks. I’ll go back to take them and come back immediately.”
“I’ll go with you.”
Staring at the two cheerful backs of Eleanor and Stella, Noah could not believe that Stella had been
taken away by Eleanor so easily.
