Chapter 734
Aria was about to head to the Central Hospital when she spotted Owen lounging on the sofa. “Wanna come with me?” she
asked.
Smiling, Owen stood up, walked over, and said, “Madelyn, no need to be so polite next time.
“Just say, ‘Come on, go drive the car.””
Aria chuckled and said, “Alright, once again. Owen, go drive the car.”
Aria grinned and said, “After you, Your Majesty.”
When they arrived at the hospital, Avery had woken up.
In the ward, only Susan, Lexie, and Gloria stayed by Avery’s side, while the others had left after confirming Avery was out of danger.
When Aria entered, Susan immediately rose up and said, “Avery’s been awake for three hours. She has taken the medicine.”
Susan followed Aria to the bedside and pulled out a chair. “Please have a seat.”
“Thanks,” Aria said as she sat down and gently stroked Avery’s head. “How are you feeling?”
Avery shook her head, her eyes sparkling. “I wasn’t feeling well, but after taking the medicine you left, I felt much better.
“Mom said you saved me. Thank you.”
Aria smiled. “You’re welcome.”
Aria reached out her hand to Avery with a gentle smile. “Give me your hand. Let me examine you one more time, okay?” said Avia.
Avery offered her hand to Aria obediently.
Gloria watched the scene with a complicated gaze. She thought, ‘Aria had never treated the Saxon family like this.
‘She’s such a good girl. Why did we turn our backs on her?
‘But it’s too late. To Aria, the Saxon family means nothing at all!
After taking Avery’s pulse, Aria gently tucked her hand back under the covers. “You’re healing very nicely. You can eat light meals now.”
Susan smiled through her tears and said, “Aria, thank you so much.”
She pulled out a bank card from her pocket and thrust it into Aria’s hand. “This is all my savings. About one hundred million dollars. Use it to pay the medical fee, and the Fletcher family will pay the rest.”
Aria gave the card back. “Just three hundred thousand dollars will do,” she said.
Lexie quickly said, “That’s not enough, dear. We owe you more than we can ever repay.”
Gloria felt sad when she heard this. She thought, ‘Back then, Aria charged me 30 million dollars for one prescription, but now she’s only asking for three hundred thousand dollars.

‘But I deserved it.
‘Had I been nicer to her, she wouldn’t have come to hate me.’
Susan nodded repeatedly. “Lexie’s right, Aria. Please, just accept it.”
Aria smiled and said, “I don’t need the money. If you still feel unsettled, making more donations might help. Doing good brings its own reward.”
Susan clutched the bank card, fighting back tears as she nodded. “I’ll do as you say, Aria. I promise, I’ll do more good deeds from now on,” she said in a choked voice.
She resolved to donate every cent she had.
Aria said, “Avery can be discharged now. I’ll write a prescription. She’ll need to return weekly for follow-up, 16 thousand dollars per visit.”
Susan said, “Your time is worth much more than 16 thousand dollars. Let’s say 160 thousand dollars, shall we?”
Aria nodded and said, “Okay.”
Finally, Susan’s face relaxed into a relieved smile.
Aria gently stroked Avery’s head and said, “Sweetie, make sure to stay warm and bundle up in winter, okay?”
“Got it. Thank you,” Avery replied sweetly.
Hearing Avia’s caring words, Susan thought of her son. Her heart sank with disappointment.
Susan thought, ‘While Derek kept checking in every hour, Lennox didn’t even call.
‘He is my son. I never imagined him to be so heartless..
Susan’s eyes welled up. But when she saw her daughter, she felt better.
Lexie stole a glance at Owen, who was standing quietly nearby. She thought, ‘For someone so young, this guy carries himself with surprising composure.
Noticing Lexie’s gaze, Owen smiled and said, “Nice to meet you, Lexie.”
Lexie thought, ‘My grandson couldn’t hold a candle to him. I’d better give up fixing Aria up with my grandson!’ and said kindly, “Thank you for coming along.”
Owen smiled lightly. “It’s fine with me.”
Aria was about to write the prescription when she thought of her messy handwriting. She turned to Owen and said, “I’ll dictate, and you write it down.”
Susan quickly fetched a chair. After thanking her, Owen sat down and meticulously wrote down the ingredients Aria dictated.
As Aria handed the prescription to Susan, she said, “Let someone skilled handle it. We can’t afford another incident like last time.”
She was referring to the medical emergency involving Ronin.

Susan bhished and nodded solemnly. “Understood,” she murmured.
Aria and Owen ran into Cathy by the entrance when they were about to leave the hospital.
Cathy chuckled. “I knew I’d find you here.”
