NOVPUBChapter 1169: 529 Father and Daughter_2 Chapter 1169: 529 Father and Daughter_2 How dare he?
Enraged, Vanessa Aria longed to peel off the skin and yank out the veins of that worthless being who dared to provoke her.
She vowed to have them begging for death yet unable to die.
The phone that had been tossed onto the ground suddenly started vibrating.
The buzzing sounded as if the ground itself was shaking.
A subordinate walked over, glanced at the phone, then respectfully handed it to Vanessa.
...
“Madam’s call.”
Vanessa quickly composted her countenance.
Taking the phone, she pressed the answer button, her expression turning especially deferential.
“Madam.”
“How goes the plan?”
“Rest assured, Madam.
Everything is under control.
Your desired vengeance will be fulfilled.”
“Do you know if that girl is still in Lostswa?”
Vanessa was taken aback, only then realizing Madam was referring to Aubree Groove.
“If she leaves, the play can’t go on.
Use her to kick-start this grand play.”
“I am waiting for your good news.
This time, don’t disappoint me again.”
“Yes, Madam.
Just sit back and enjoy the show.”
After hanging up the phone, Vanessa ordered, “Summon all the personnel back.
I have instructions.”
A subordinate hesitated, “What about Night Hawk!”
Vanessa scoffed, “This is Madam’s order.
Would he dare defy?”
——
Three days had passed and Aubree’s injuries were healing quickly.
The day her plaster was removed, Peter Aria personally accompanied Aubree.
The doctor, who was removing Aubree’s plaster, exclaimed, “This child is growing quickly.
Her injuries are healing faster than most.
However, every good thing has a downside.
She might grow too quickly, making her bones develop faster than usual.
This also leads to the increased risk of fractures!”
Peter hesitated and instinctively looked at Aubree.
The doctor continued his monologue.
“This condition might not only be due to rapid growth but also hormone secretion.
However, from my experience, it appears this condition is likely due to genetics!”
Aubree calmly diverted the conversation, “Doctor, I have been troubling you these past few days.
Can I write with my right hand now?”
“The old saying is, ‘an injury to the tendons or bones takes a hundred days to heal’.
Though you have healed fast, you still need to take precautions in daily life.
I suggest you rest your right hand for a month.”
“I trust the doctor.
By the way, can it get wet?”
Aubree successfully disbanded Doctor’s train of thought through her trivial chatter, effectively stopping him from further discussing her bone development.
When Peter thought about the inheritance, he remembered everyone in the Aria family was tall.
He shot up in high school and became a head taller than his peers.
His twin sister, naturally, inherited the same genes.
He didn’t give it much thought.
It simply added more evidence to his claims.
Once Aubree got the plaster removed, Peter escorted her from the hospital.
As they exited the hospital building, some doctors that had come out of the administrative building noticed Peter.
“Isn’t that Mr.
Aria?
Who’s that girl with him?
Does Mr.
Aria have a girlfriend?”
The group exchanged surprised glances, their expressions as giddy as if they’d discovered a new world.
It was not their fault for thinking so.
Peter usually kept to himself.
Only Dr.
Capris was allowed into his inner circle, otherwise, he barely showed any interest in socializing with the opposite sex.
Seeing the two of them walking side by side, laughing and talking, observing the rare traces of tenderness in Peter’s eyes, they were all astounded.
“I wonder what a woman who’s caught Mr. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Aria’s eye looks like.
I can’t see her face from so far.
Should we go closer to take a look?”
“Are you insane?
If Mr.
Aria notices us, we will pay for it.”
“Well, Mr.
Aria is human too, he wouldn’t be so unreasonable now, would he?”
Just as they began to waver, an aloof voice emerged from behind them, “What are you all doing?”
The group turned around trembling, changing their color upon recognizing the newcomer.
“Dr…
Dr.
Capris.”
Dr.
Capris coldly swept over their faces before saying, “Gossiping during working hours and forgetting the doctor’s code of conduct.
You all surely want to give up this white coat.”
“We were wrong, Dr.
Capris.
We’ll return to our posts right away.” The group quickly retreated in panic.
Dr.
Capris looked at the sight of Peter heading towards the parking lot, then at the slender and gentle figure beside him.
Peter, what are you trying to do?
——
The doorbell rang.
Loretta, who was watering the plants in the courtyard, set down the watering pot immediately.
She wiped her hands on her apron and walked over to the door.
