Chapter 9 Auri And Her Secrets

Worried that Mabel might be anxious, Aurelia quickly asked, “Which hospital is it? I’ll head over right now.”
After Mabel mentioned the hospital, Aurelia hung up the phone.
Looking at her family before her, she uttered apologetically, “There are some matters I need to attend to. Old Mrs. Quigley needs me, so I’ll return in a fe
Phyllis and the others had all heard about Mabel, who was a friend of their neighbor in the countryside, Hannah.
After Aurelia left, Phyllis let out a sigh. “The Leedon family probably hasn’t been treating Auri well. As her mother, how could I not notice the changes in h
Xavier was always composed. After a moment of contemplation, he said, “I will spend more time chatting with Auri these next couple of days.”
“I should also pay more attention to Auri,” Charlie added.
Herbert was a high school student, full of youthful vigor. “If the Leedon family dares to bully Aurelia, I will fight them to the end!”
Aurelia arrived at the hospital quite swiftly.
Seeing Mabel anxiously waiting in the corridor, she quickly walked over.
Upon arriving in front of Mabel, she said, “Hey, Grandma.”
Upon seeing Aurelia arrive, Mabel immediately grasped her hand. “Auri, you have no idea how. terrifying it was! It was a chain– reaction car accident, and the car that got crushed was the one right in front of Matthew’s. It was so close, so very close. I almost lost Matthew!”
On her way to the hospital, Aurelia saw the news on her phone.
Upon learning of a horrific multi– car collision on the overpass, where more than a dozen vehicles had crashed into each other, it was reported that one car was crushed by an overturned
The individuals from the several cars that collided with each other were almost all injured and were immediately rushed to the hospital.
The specific details were not thoroughly discussed in the news.
Seeing Mabel so heartbroken at the moment. Aurelia thought Matthew was seriously hurt.
“Grandma, don’t worry, Mr. Quigley will definitely be all right,” Aurelia reassured gently.
Mabel nodded, her eyes brimming with tears.

When Matthew stepped out of the examination room, he heard Aurelia’s soft and gentle voice.
Under her soothing, Mabel’s emotions had calmed down considerably.
As soon as Mabel saw Matthew come out, she hurried over to ask, “Matthew! What did the doctor. say?”
She then looked up and down anxiously, fearing that something had happened to Matthew.
Patiently, Matthew replied, “All the necessary tests have been done, and the doctor said there’s nothing to worry about. Please rest assured, Grandma.”
“That’s a relief! That’s a relief!” Mabel finally felt at ease. Suddenly, she thought of something and grabbed Aurelia hand, saying to Matthew, “As soon as
“Grandma, I-“Aurelia wanted to say that she wasn’t frightened.
She wasn’t worried about anything happening to Matthew. Her concern was for Mabel.
But before she could finish her sentence, Mabel interrupted her, winking as she said, “I’m old, and this trip to the hospital has worn me out. I want to go home and rest properly. You two should hurry on.”
When Mabel heard about Matthew’s car accident, she was worried and scared. But then, seeing that nothing happened to Matthew, she would definitely
Having lived to this age, it was clear to see that the two youngsters had yet to develop any feelings for each other.
Matthew knew what Mabel was thinking. He was already married, so he didn’t mind an extra meal. Therefore, he turned to Aurelia and asked, “Ms. Shaw, do you have some free time?”
“Ms. Shaw? What do you mean? Auri is your wife. Even if you don’t call her darling or something like that, you should at least call her Auri.” Mabel wasn’t pleased.
Then, with a chuckle, she said to Aurelia, “If you find calling Matthew ‘Hubby‘ too mushy, you can just call him Matthew.”
With a slight raise of his austere eyebrows, Matthew said, “Grandma, you should return to the Quigley residence first.”
Mabel knew she couldn’t say too much or press too hard, so she decided to leave first with the butler.
Seeing that Mabel had already left, Aurelia then said to Matthew, “Mr. Quigley, you must still have matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb you any further.”

Matthew’s gaze was cool and detached. Upon hearing the words, he was somewhat taken aback. Just as he was about to speak, Gordon quickly steppe
After Gordon approached, he was startled to discover Aurelia. “Hi, Ms. Shaw!”
His eyes widened as he suddenly thought of something extremely important.
He picked up the jade pendant hanging around his neck and asked, “Ms. Shaw, can I continue to wear this jade pendant?”
Gordon couldn’t help but overthink. Last night, the elevator incident filled me with terror. Today, I was almost killed in a car accident.
When Aurelia saw that Gordon was still wearing the jade pendant, her pale, jade– like face seemed somewhat solemn. “Why are you still wearing it?” she asked.
“What exactly is the deal with this jade pendant? Ms. Shaw, could you please explain it to me in detail? I thought you were just joking with me yesterday. hand holding the jade pendant felt somewhat cold.
This chilling aura seemed to have been transmitted through the jade pendant.
With one hand in his pocket, Matthew’s gaze fell on Aurelia, remaining silent all the while.
“This jade pendant was likely stolen by a tomb raider,” Aurelia explained simply. “Moreover, the pendant’s previous owner probably met an untimely deat
Gordon’s eyes widened once again. “H–How could you possibly know that, Ms. Shaw?”
“Would you believe me if I said I was guessing, Mr. Zeller?” Aurelia asked, her eyes curving into a smile as she playfully countered.
Being reincarnated wasn’t without its advantages. She could then perceive the aura emanating from these antiques more clearly, thereby deducing some
However, such matters were too mystical to be believed if spoken about.
Aurelia knew that Gordon would not easily believe.
She also knew that Matthew, who had been watching her all along, would not believe her.
After that, she laughed again, saying, “I have some matters to attend to. I must leave now.”
She nodded toward Matthew and headed straight for the hospital exit.
Gordon snapped back to reality, swiftly pulling down the jade pendant.
