He quickly got up and went to the bathroom to have a shower.
Oriana’s phone beeped and a message from Deacon came in,
“Missing you.”
Another message came in.
“I didn’t know that I could be tortured this way, you’re driving me crazy, Oriana.”
Oriana felt her heart soften.
Another message popped up.
“I was wrong, I’m sorry.
Can I pick you tomorrow?”
ww Oriana hesitated to send in her reply.
North whose face was covered in a white facial treatment, walked over.
“Oriana, no matter what he says, you’re not allowed to return to him.
Let him be.”
“Oh.” Oriana swiftly dropped her phone.
“Oriana, you’re not to get involved in this matter.
Pamela saved his life, there’s a third wish he’s yet to fulfill, you need to allow Mr. Armstead settle the debts himself.
Don’t get involved, okay?”
Oriana nodded.
“I just miss grandma, even though she said I should return whenever I wish.”
North sat in front of the mirror.
“The old lady really likes you.”
Deacon didn’t wait for Oriana’s reply.
He knew that he was bound to have another sleepless night, if he didn’t do.
something.
Mrs. Samantha walked in with a glass of water.
“Deacon, here, have some water.”
Deacon stared at his grandma resentfullly.
“Grandma, I want to go bring Oriana home, but I’m certain if you come along with me, she’ll agree to coming home.”
The old lady put down the glass of water and snorted,
“If you want to go then go, I won’t accompany you.”
“Grandma, you’ve changed.”
The old lady sighed.
“Oriana is not a regular girl.
She has her own opinion.
If she wanted coming home sooner, she would have.”
“Deacon, my child, work hard to grab Oriana’s heart on your own.
Otherwise, someone else will soon snatch her away from you.”
Deacon let out a smirk.
“Oriana is my wife, who would dare to snatch her away from me?”
Mrs. Samantha laughed lightly and turned to leave.
She muttered to Deacon’s hearing.
“Oriana wasn’t your wife.”
The next morning, Oriana received the news that Aunt Rebecca had woken up.
She rushed to the hospital.
Aunt Rebecca was lying on the hospital bed.
Although still very weak, her eyes were opened.
“Aunt Rebecca, you’re finally awake.
You’ve been in coma for a very long time.” Oriana held her hands excitedly.
Aunt Rebecca stared at Oriana’s pretty face, and said with relief,
“Little Miss, you’re now grown.
If Miss sees how grown you see now, she’ll be so happy.”
“Aunt Rebecca.
how did mummy die? Did someone do something to her?” Oriana couldn’t wait to know the truth about what had transpired.
Aunt Rebecca’s eyes widened, revealing a look of horror and fear.
“He’s here, he’s here, he found Miss.”
“Aunt Rebecca, what are you talking about? Who is he?” It was the first time Oriana had seen Aunt Rebecca’s terrified expression.
It was as though she has seen a demon from hell.
Aunt’s Rebecca’s hands danced in the air.
It took a while before she let them down.
Aunt Rebecca now looked more‘ tired.
She looked at Oriana.
“Little Miss, do you know about the Ivory Council?”
Of course Oriana knew that the Ivory Council was the largest medical research institute in LA.
The Ivory Council didn’t take long before it had surpassed all other medical research institute.
The progress was so intensed that the institute became the largest in Los Angeles.
“Aunt Rebecca, are you talking about the Ivory Council, the research institute?” Oriana needed to be certain.
Because, to Oriana, Aunt Rebecca shouldn’t have a buisness with the research institute.
Aunt Rebecca’s eyes shone brightly.
“Little Miss, Miss left a box for you.
You need to get it back.”
“Aunt Rebecca, where’s the box? I’ll get it now.”
“In the Ivory Council.”
“What?”
Aunt Rebecca stretched out her shaky hands and held Oriana’s small hand.
“Miss, the Ivory Council was created by your mother.
Back then, When Miss came to this city, she felt so bored, so she created the Ivory Council.”
Oriana’s head exploded.
She stood dumbfounded.
“Little Miss, if you want to get back the box that Miss left behind, you must enter the Ivory Council.
It’s all that’s left by your mum, and it’s yours.”
Oriana’s head was buzzing, unable to digest the information.
“Aunt Rebecca, what’s wrong with grandpa?”
“Kelvin?”
Kelvin was Oriana’s grandpa’s name.
Oriana didn’t expect Aunt Rebecca to refer to him by his first name.
Oriana had been waiting for Aunt Rebecca to wake up, so she find out all that happened that year.
“Kelvin was Miss housekeeper, later, Miss married the housekeeper’s son.” Aunt Rebecca uttered and let out a cough.
“Aunt Rebecca, I really don’t comprehend what you mean.
I need you to explain them to me one after the other.”
Aunt Rebecca looked at Oriana lovingly.
“Little Miss, as long as you get back the box that your mum left for you, you’ll understand all of this.”
After she finished speaking.
Aunt Rebecca tiredly closed her eyes and fell back into coma.
Oriana stared at her, she was still surprised at what she heard.
She moved hastily to call the doctor.
Oriana arrived with the doctor, and he examine Aunt Rebecca’s body and said strangely.
“Miss Hendrix, the patient’s health has really not been good, but it seems that the patient had taken some sort of pill.
The pill has been keeping her heart from failing.”
Oriana check her pulse, just as the doctor had said, Aunt Rebecca really did have a life– saving pill in her body.
Half a month ago, when she had checked Aunt Rebecca’s pulse, she hadn’t noticed it.
To be able to sustain someone’s life for so many years without anyone noticing, the person’s medical skills were quite impressive.
Oriana knew that it was her mother.
She knew that Aunt Rebecca had taken the pill before mum passed away.
Oriana felt that things were getting more complicated.
There seemed to be a huge net around her, shrouding her.
Oriana’s phone rang.
It was Patrick.
Oriana was not surprised.
She knew that Patrick had called to ask about her relationship with the wealthy boss.
Armstead.
Oriana swiped the phone screen and answered the call.
“Hello, dad.”
“Oriana, hurry up and come home now.
I have something to ask you.” Patrick said anxiously.
Oriana pursed her lips.
“Okay dad, I also have something to tell you.”
Hendrix’s family.
Oriana went to her grandma’s room first.
Mr. Hendrix was still in coma, but after her last injection, Mr. Hendrix seemed to be recovering slowly.
Oriana gave him a second injection.
The old man had been in the vegetative state for the past ten years.
