Chapter 250 Everything Had Changed

• Perhaps thinking about Sandy’s unfavorable situation, a flicker of emotion appeared in his sharp and clear eyes. While scrutinizing Mia, he also considered taking a step back. Mia maintained the same expression from beginning to end. Although there was a slight change, it was too late for Huston to distinguish it. “Huston, isn’t this request reasonable? I won’t be affecting anyone. I just want to spend some time with my grandma,” Mia pressed on, appearing to make a request but, in reality, asserting her dominance. Huston’s breathing was very heavy, and every word that came out of his mouth was suppressed. “When you feel better, I’ll let you go.” It was unlikely for him to directly refuse her, and if he agreed… Sandy’s current situation didn’t allow for it either. He could only continue to delay like this.
• Mia knew that it was impossible for him to agree immediately. Just getting him to loosen up a bit was already enough. “Okay, don’t worry. I will definitely cooperate with the treatment, for myself, and also to be able to see my grandmother as soon as possible.” Without saying a word, Huston turned around and left the ward. Only when the door was closed did the suffocating sense of urgency dissipate. He had never been so mentally exhausted in the face of Mia. At that moment, he still didn’t understand that everything could deteriorate when responsibility became a burden. After returning from the hospital, Evelyn stayed home with Ben. With the attentive care from Lucy, Ben’s recovery was going quite well. In just two weeks, he was able to resume his normal activities.
• During the fourth week, Evelyn suddenly received a phone call from Grace. She went abroad to study without telling Evelyn. When she learned what had happened to Ben, she rushed back without hesitation. Evelyn was deeply touched that Grace had rushed back from such a distant place, so she invited her to her home for dinner. After finishing the meal, Evelyn drove her back. However, Grace insisted on taking her to a bar, saying that she hadn’t been there in a long time and wanted to go and have a drink. Knowing that she had something on her mind, Evelyn readily agreed. This bar was located in the city center of Jewel City. It was an upscale bar that operated on a members-only basis and was not open to the general public.
