As Ronan led his men carrying precious gifts, they laid them down and waited outside the door.

Only Green remained standing next to Ronan, looking respectful and obedient.

"Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin, long time no see," Ronan said with his usual calm and reserved tone, even when greeting.

"Ronan, what brings you here today?" Lauryn was the first to react, noticing the gifts and beaming with an affectionate smile. "You shouldn't have brought so many gifts. It's too much trouble."

"Ronan, come and sit down. Someone bring us another pot of tea," Kevin said, fondly welcoming him. "It's been a while since you last visited me since my youngest son left the country. Let's catch up tonight."

"Have you had dinner, Ronan?"

"I already ate," Ronan replied with his usual polite and reserved demeanor.

"You've matured and become more stable since we last saw you," Lauryn said, admiring his height, appearance, and personal abilities. She couldn't help but think he was an exceptional young man, flawless in

    "Grandpa wants to see you." Ronan's gaze fell on the girl across from him, his magnetic voice gentle and seductive, "When will you be free to go see him with me?""Abby, since Sir Lucero wants to see you, why not do it tomorrow?" Lauryn asked tentatively."If you don't want to go as my fiancée, you can represent the Baldwin family and show your concern," Ronan suggested, his dignified aura shining through even in retreat."That's a good idea!" Kevin was surprised at how clever Ronan was."That's right, you can show some concern on behalf of the Baldwin family..." Lauryn also echoed.Abigail thought to herself, "So no one asked her opinion?""So, Abigail, you'll go visit Sir Lucero tomorrow. You've been home for two days, and it's time to visit him."After all, when they proposed this marriage contract back then, Ronan's conditions were quite good.Now Ronan's grandfather was still hospitalized, and his situation seemed not quite good...As the younger generation, it was necessary to p

    Ronan's lips curved into a faint smile, "You haven't approved my friend request yet.""Oh."Hearing what he said, Abigail suddenly remembered that there was such a thing, "I'll do it later."She had been so busy today that she had forgotten about it.Ronan's voice was as gentle as a stringed instrument, gently plucking at her heartstrings. "What time should I pick you up tomorrow?""Two o'clock in the afternoon."After all, she had other things to deal with."Where should we meet?""Uh... at my doorstep.""Okay, I'll be there on time."Just as Abigail was about to hang up, Ronan asked, "Don't you like chocolate-flavored cakes?"Abigail was confused."I noticed that you didn't eat any in the car."Abigail didn't expect this man to be so interested in her personal preferences, and said lightly, "I don't eat chocolate-flavored food very often."Ronan understood, "I'll buy you other flavors later."Abigail was speechless."You saved my grandpa, so it's only right that I get you some snack

    Courtney thought to herself, "Without comparison, others wouldn't know how terrible Abigail is and how excellent I am!"Scarlet was right, let this countryside girl from a small place make a fool of herself. After all, Sir Lucero had dominated the business world for half his life and would never bother with someone like Abigail!!"I won't be having lunch today," Abigail instructed the servant as she made her way upstairs.Upon entering her room, she locked the door and went straight to sleep.She had been working on her drawings all night, and she was genuinely exhausted. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she fell into a deep slumber.After Kevin and Lauryn got up, they heard that the baby girl would not even eat lunch, so they hurriedly called the chef, "Was it because she didn't like breakfast?"The chef felt wrongly accused, "Abigail left her seat because of what Courtney said. It had nothing to do with breakfast.""Courtney?" Kevin and Lauryn were confused and asked, "What did C

    In the ward, Sir Lucero had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of two people, and finally, they appeared before him."Grandpa, Abby, and I have come to visit you." Ronan's clear voice rang out.But Sir Lucero's gaze didn't stay on his grandson for a second. Instead, it was completely glued to the young girl beside him!"The little girl who saved me twice was you?"Sir Lucero didn't expect this girl to be so delicate and pretty. During their previous encounters, he hadn't had the chance to properly appreciate her appearance. But now, he couldn't help but notice her beautiful and otherworldly aura, and he could only think that Ronan was truly fortunate to have her."Nice to meet you, Sir Lucero," Abigail greeted him politely as she entered the room.Her demeanor was graceful and charming, and even though her cold and distant aura had diminished in the presence of the old man, her otherworldly presence still set her apart from others."Silly child, why are you calling me Sir Lucero?

    "You... you... you..."Sir Lucero felt as though he fell right into the trap Ronan set for him.Abigail's gaze shifted, her lips slightly curled. "No need for more medicine. You just can't drink alcohol after this.""Okay, I won't." Sir Lucero nodded, "Abby is right."Jaeden also nodded repeatedly, "Mrs. Lucero, I will keep an eye on Sir Lucero from now on."Abigail couldn't help but correct him lightly, "Just call me Abigail.""No, no, I couldn't possibly address you so informally!"Ronan's lips curled as he changed the subject. "If you and grandfather didn't conspire together, how come he can still drink alcohol?""I promise I won't make the same mistake again!""Oh, by the way!" Sir Lucero suddenly remembered something and pulled out a delicate wooden box. He opened it to reveal a beautiful crown necklace."This was Ronan's grandmother's favorite among all her dowry items... She said that if one day Ronan brought a girl to meet the family, he must give her this gift."The crown was

    Just then, Abigail's cell phone vibrated a few times, and it was a call from Randy."Excuse me, I need to take this call." Abigail got up and walked out of the ward."Abby, I heard from someone downstairs that you came to the hospital?" Randy's voice came from the phone.Abigail hummed lightly, "What's the matter?""Madam Guzman woke up for a while today," Randy said softly, "Although it was only for a few minutes, she kept mentioning your name during that time.""She wanted to call you, but I stopped her.""You know how her condition is. If she gets too excited, it could be dangerous. I had to stop her."The person Vanessa cared about the most was Abigail. The first thing she did when she woke up was to care about Abigail's current situation.Even if Abigail didn't say what Elliott and Marlene were doing behind the scenes, just hearing her voice would surely make Vanessa weep...If she became too emotional, it could be fatal, and all the efforts made so far would be in vain."Are you

    "Forget it."Elliott did not want to make trouble. He was the richest man in Bushmere now, so he valued his reputation and did not want to make a fool of himself in public.Marlene guessed, "That wicked girl is pretty. Maybe it is because Dr. Conrad wants to pursue her that he defended her. No wonder his attitude toward us is so unfriendly. He must be influenced by her!""Stop talking nonsense! Let's go in to see Mom.""I wonder when she will wake up. I've asked my lawyer to draw up her last will. I will not feel relieved until she signs her name to leave all her property to us.""Keep your voice down!"Elliott turned to glare at her and said, "Walls have ears!"Marlene hurriedly covered her mouth and closed the ward door.***Abigail didn't know their purpose for coming, so she said to Randy behind her, "I still have something else to do. Please go to do your work.""The medical report of Madam Guzman...""You don't need to share it with me if there are no special symptoms.""OK."Su

    The restaurant manager glanced at Abigail next to Ronan. Seeing them holding hands, he believed she must be Mr. Lucero's wife. So, he immediately bowed to her and respectfully said, "Mrs. Lucero, this way, please!""I'm not Mrs. Lucero."Seeing them still holding hands, the manager hurriedly nodded, "I'm sure you will become Mrs. Lucero soon! Mr. Lucero has never brought any girl here before!"Abigail was speechless."Mrs. Lucero, may I know whether you need to avoid any certain food?""I'm fine with everything. Please call me Abigail."The manager replied with a flattering smile, "Mrs. Lucero, I don't dare to call you by your name."Then, he said to the walkie-talkie at his collar, "Be quick! Clear the venue! Hurry up!"Abigail glanced at Ronan as if asking, "Isn't it too exaggerating for a casual meal?""This is our first date."Ronan held her hand and walked into the restaurant.After a while, Gina held Maximo's arm and happily said, "Maximo, this restaurant is expensive, but you s

    Courtney was stunned for a few seconds, as if frozen in place."Can you, like her, accept her in front of your parents and brother? Just as she accepted you?"Riley saw her lost in thought and patted her head, "Think about what big brother said tonight before going to bed. I hope that next time he comes home, he can see a different you."Riley's biological clock was still accurate. There were only three minutes left until his bedtime. He stood up and did not make any exceptions for anyone.Before he left, he specifically said, "If I were you, I would cherish everything in front of me, not wait until it's lost to regret it."Courtney looked at him in astonishment."Goodnight," Riley took a step and left the terrace.Seeing Riley leave, Janet, who was hiding in the dark, quickly appeared and said, "Miss Courtney, are you alright?"She had secretly followed Riley since she went to find Miss Courtney just now.I thought Rile

    Due to significant damage to their central nervous system, as well as respiratory tract infections, anemia, disturbances of water and electrolyte balance, and other conditions, my grandparents required multiple medications.She first prepared the medicine she needed to take for the next three days, grinding them into powder for easy mixing with water.Unconsciously, it was already 8:30 in the evening and I had been busy.Riley and others were in the lush courtyard, raising their watches and looking towards the direction of the gate, but they never saw the figure of their sister returning home.Did she go out for something? Is she going to see that doctor?I don't know whether that doctor was a man or a woman. If it was a man, going alone so late, would my sister be taken advantage of?At this moment, Marilyn approached respectfully and reported, "Riley, the daisies you ordered have been planted. Would you like to go up and take a look?"

    Riley suddenly became curious about her sister's position in the medical field. She wondered how her sister could come up with a solution to such a difficult medical condition in an instant.As is well known, the most skilled doctor internationally was Elian. It was said that his medical skills were extraordinary, capable of bringing the dead back to life. However, he was elusive, and no one knew his whereabouts.Since my grandparents were admitted to the ICU, he had sent people multiple times to inquire about Elian's whereabouts, hoping to ask him to come forward and save my grandparents.Some people said that he had already died, while others said that he had once appeared at Secret Delta. Whether these pieces of information are reliable or not, nobody knows.Did my sister learn her medical skills from Elian?If it was true, then surely the grandparents would be saved!"Abby, you seem so confident in that doctor's medical skills. It seems

    "Abby, you saved your grandmother! In such a short time, you brought her back from the brink of death! You are truly amazing!" Kevin was extremely excited and wanted to hug her.To our surprise, Lauryn hugged her daughter first and said, "Great, your grandmother is fine! She scared us just now!"I'm afraid something might have happened to her elderly lady...I didn't expect my daughter's medical skills to be so brilliant.No wonder Sergio always praised her excellent medical skills before.It turns out that it was not that the old person favored Abby, but Abby really had the ability!Her medical skills were really superb!The decisiveness, calmness, and wisdom she displayed during the process of rescuing someone just now were truly impressive!Abigail was suddenly embraced by her mother, a feeling of being loved, pampered, and valued that she had never experienced from childhood to adulthood."If your grandmother woke up

    "Mom, why don't you take Courtney out for a walk?" Riley reminded.Lauryn, also feeling heavy-hearted from her crying, stood up and pulled Courtney, "Courtney, let's go outside."Don't disturb grandparents' rest.When Courtney stood up, she pretended to be unsteady and threw herself into Lauryn's arms. "Mom, when will grandpa and grandma wake up? I'm so worried, I feel so uneasy... I feel dizzy, I can barely stand.""I know you're filial." Lauryn patted her back. "Mom believes that your grandparents are good people, and they will definitely recover soon.""I'm going to talk to the doctor," Kevin said. He couldn't control his emotions several times and stood up with red eyes, taking the first step out of the ward.When there were only the two siblings left in the ward, Riley asked softly, "Can you still take a pulse?"Abigail was taken aback for a moment, but she answered truthfully, "I know a little.""What went wrong with that

    "Hello," Abigail nodded slightly to show politeness.The head nurse took one look and noticed that this young lady's demeanor appeared even more noble than Courtney's. Could she possibly be a relative of the Baldwin family?He seemed to come from a prestigious family, well-mannered, and there was no trace of the fragility and stubbornness that Courtney exuded. It was evident that he was someone who understood the bigger picture."Did Mom and Dad wake up today?" Lauryn asked with a glimmer of hope, although she knew the chances were extremely low."Sir Baldwin and Madam Baldwin had not woken up yet. In the past three days, their condition has not been very good..."The daily monitoring data and doctor's advice would be updated in the background of a software every day for Kevin and Lauryn to check at any time.Lauryn also noticed in the past few days that the data of the two elderly people has been gradually declining.

    After work, Riley brought Abigail to Mosley Hospital and parked the car in the VIP garage. Just as they got out of the car, they saw their motorhome approaching from a distance and parking in the spot next to theirs.This floor was exclusively for their family, the VIP floor where vehicles of other patients' families were not allowed to enter, ensuring excellent privacy.Kevin helped Lauryn out of the car while Courtney pretended to still be in pain from her previous fall and also asked her father for assistance.As soon as Courtney got out of the car, she immediately held Kevin's left hand and Lauryn's right hand, and said with a smile, "Big brother, sister, you're here too?"Riley's gaze fell on her arm, and she said, neither lightly nor heavily, "If someone didn't know, they would think that our parents are only yours. We are all grown-ups, yet still so childish."This is childish, I don't know if it means she is naive and loves to act coquettis

    "Um." Riley finally picked up the coffee and took a sip.Abigail also picked up the cup and tasted it, "Not bad."At this moment, someone brought the snack cabinet and snacks again. Jaylin personally organized them and said, "Ms. Abigail, Mr. Baldwin usually doesn't eat snacks. If there are any that don't suit your taste, you can tell me, and I won't have them delivered next time.""Okay." Abigail usually doesn't eat snacks, but seeing her older brother being so thoughtful, her heart still feels warm.Jaylin sorted the snacks into different categories and labeled them with tags such as nuts, spicy strips, cookies, candies, pastries, potato chips, and so on. She then stuck the labels on them to make it easier for Abigail to find them next time.Brent on the side watched with drooling mouth, almost envious to the point of tears. He also wished he had such a domineering and gentle older brother...After Jaylin finished his work, Riley asked him

    Noon.The employees who were eating in the cafeteria were so shocked when they saw Riley and Abigail appear that they couldn't even hold their forks steady.Hasn't Mr. Baldwin left yet?Did you still stay at the company and have lunch with Ms. Abigail?Did Mr. Baldwin really like Ms. Abigail, as rumored?But between them, there was at least a six or seven-year age difference!Is this considered an older bull eating tender grass?"He spoke to Ms. Abigail so gently."Riley bent down to listen to Abigail speaking, then nodded and said something to the cafeteria staff. They helped Abigail with her meal, first bringing it to the table and making her sit in her seat to wait."Mr. Baldwin was such a gentleman! He helped Ms. Abigail serve her meal first before serving his own, without any hesitation or inconvenience.""Abby!!"At this moment, Makenna prepared the meal and saw Abigail sitting alone at the dining tab
