Austin made a fist and gently hit on Vincent's chest. "Hold on, my friend."…Three days later, Vincent was finally moved away from the Intensive Care Unit into a VIP ward in the hospital.Austin could finally let out a sigh of relief as he tore apart all of the letters from the hospital detailing Vincent's critical condition.Vincent was already awake when Austin visited him at the hospital.His entire body was covered with gauze like a mummy, and his expression still seemed relatively weak."You made it," said Austin.Vincent looked up at him and replied, "Thank… You…"Vincent's voice was so weak that it was difficult to hear anything clearly through the ventilator.Austin shook his head and sat down next to the bed before turning to Ezra. "Have you found anything yet?""No, sir. It seems that the Redmonts have kept it well under wraps. As for Sean… The Redmonts seem to not really care about him."Austin had Ezra utilize the Campbell family's resources to find out why Vinc

The entire Redmont family had been in low spirits for the past few days.Everyone within the family felt as if their throats were stuck as they were trembling from fear.They walked with their heads down and strutted at a quicker pace than ever.Everyone knew that the head of the Redmonts was on the verge of exploding from rage.And today, Morgan Redmont, the head of the Redmont family, finally left his room.He was all smiles by now and had no trace of anger left on his face.Morgan also ordered some family members to follow him as he left the house.They would arrive at the Basin City Airport an hour later.A dozen luxury cars drove onto the airport runway and lined up in a row at the edge of the runway.Morgan got out of his car and led the rest of his family toward the plane parked at the end of the runway.He then bowed and greeted, "Welcome to Basin City, Mrs. Campbell Senior!"The rest of the Redmonts quickly followed suit.

Austin rubbed his nose and smiled. "I get it now. I can also ask them what they'd like as gifts."Now that they were picking a date for the wedding, they had to also start looking into picking out gifts as well.Austin wanted to make sure that the wedding was a great success so as to not let Cecily down.Cecily stood on her tiptoes and kissed Austin on the cheek. "I'll be off to make the arrangements then. The venue to meet my parents will still be Mr. Newman's Tetra Club."Austin could still feel her warmth on his cheeks as he watched her leave.He suddenly felt extremely nervous. He had not felt so nervous even when he first met Cecily, and even when he proposed to her.It was Austin's second marriage, but he couldn't help but feel butterflies in his stomach because of Cecily.He took a deep breath and shook his head. "What am I getting nervous about? Cecily already gave me her hand in marriage… I need to man up!"…It was now 6:00 pm. Austin came out of his office to find E

A single question from Timothy had made the still-silent Cecily blush.She glared at Edward out of embarrassment. "Dad! What are you talking about?"Edward was startled for a second, and then he laughed. "Oh my, my daughter's angry now! Don't be angry, Cecily, it's not that your mom and I are snobs or anything. But everyone knows how much you and Austin love each other. You're both at that age now, and you're both already engaged. It's about time."Cecily did not refute his words as her face turned red with embarrassment.She knew that her father was indeed afraid that Austin might change his mind, but it was not the main reason he wanted the both of them to get married as soon as possible.The main reason was that both of them were no longer youngsters.Three years had passed since they graduated from college.It was just the right time for them to get married.If Cecily's parents were actually snobbish people, they would have never even bothered to show up in person, instead,

Dahlia pointed at Ezra and replied with a stern look, "We can always ask Ezra for help if we need an extra hand."Ezra smiled and nodded. "Madam Emerson is right."Austin realized he was not getting out of this.He turned to Cecily, and the both of them nodded in agreement at their parents' proposal.Austin then turned to Edward and Rachel. "Mr. and Mrs. Graham, about my gift to the bride…"Rachel smiled and answered, "You've already given us your gift to the bride, right? You could just count it as the gift you gave us last time!"Austin was startled for a second as he explained, "That couldn't possibly be considered my gift to the bride…""It's fine! We already considered it your gift to the bride!" replied Edward. "Besides, you've also made my dreams come true. It's already the best gift I could ever ask for.""But…" Austin tried to argue about the matter as his gift to the bride also represented his feelings and appreciation for Cecily.It was Cecily who had been waiting f

Cecily was still confused about what had just happened as Edward and Rachel made their leave.But Timothy knew that they were in a rush to head back to plan for Cecily Enterprise's future.Both Austin and Cecily finally realized what was going on after Timothy explained it to them.Dahlia and Ezra had already headed back inside the car to keep themselves warm from the chilly night breeze.Austin and Cecily, however, were taking their time walking through the Bamboo Parlor with their hands held together as they both slowly sobered up from alcohol.Austin suddenly spoke up. "Thank you, Cecily. And your parents, too."Cecily glanced at him and replied, "What are you thanking me for, silly? We're already a family."He laughed and replied, "I understand that Mr. and Mrs. Graham didn't want to make us nervous or anything."Cecily's happiness being the best gift of all was not simply just rhetoric.It was something that was simply just expected now that Cecily had married Austin.Th

Austin had been wondering about Sean for a long time.He always wondered why the Redmonts would remain quiet over the death of one of their major family members.Austin had already mentally prepared himself to face the wrath of the Redmonts the very night he rescued and sent Vincent to the hospital.What should have been a thunderous explosion coming from the Redmonts had been delayed up until now.And rather than taking matters into their own hands, the Redmonts had opted to make the news public first.Austin wondered if the Redmonts already knew what happened to Sean that night—and whether or not the rest of the aristocracy had also found out about what happened.He just could not comprehend the Redmont family's current actions.Ezra frowned and shook his head. "I also think that something's not right. Powerful families like the Redmonts often settle their grudges in secret, be it assassination or blackmailing to take revenge. I don't understand why the Redmonts had made it pu
