Chapter 593
Winning Her Heart Back
Chapter 593 It Was Worth the Trip
When William woke up, it was already late at night. The moon was obscured by thick clouds, and not a trace of light seeped through them.
As he regained consciousness, the sensation in his body returned as well. He instinctively raised his hand to cover his slightly aching liver, accidentally tugging at the IV in his hand.
The person closest to his bed, Jayden, was the first to notice that he was awake. âWill, youâre finally awake.
Others who had been sitting on the sofa also stood up and approached the bed, Among them were Ashton, Ellas, Charles, and Bryan
Jayden asked, âHow are you feeling? Should we call the doctor?â
William shook his head, his voice was hoarse. âIâm fine.â
âYou were almost not fine,â Jayden
said
care of yourself at all. According to Ms. Jones, you were coughing in Mercianna. You flew He couldnât help but scold him. He continued, âYou donât take c back to Capebatt City in economy class on a flight that lasted more than ten hours. Why are you punishing yourself like this?â
As William silently lowered his gaze, shadows fell on his pale cheeks. He placed his palm on the mattress, trying to sit up. Charles was standing at the end of the bed, so be pressed the button to adjust the bedâs height to a 60âdegree angle, allowing William to sit up and lean
on it
âThank you,â William said.
âYouâre welcome,â Charles replied.
Charles was quite curious. âThe doctor said your blood pressure was erratic due to severe emotional fluctuations. What happened? Did something happen in Mercianna or did you meet someone there?â
His question seemed like a test
Elias found the question annoying, and he stared at Charles. âWhat do you mean by that?â
Charles shrugged innocently, âI didnât mean anything. Iâm just concerned about Mr. Middleton.â âItâs just that the negotiations with the Aurora Group didnât go well William coughed Lightly.
Ashton immediately added, âYes, they thought the Xanther Group would be easy to manipulate because weâre a new company. Hence, they proposed tough conditions.
âHowever, since the collaboration with the Aurora Group is crucial for us, Mr. Middleton compromised in the end. This was the first time he ever made a concessionâ
In other words, Willan was upset because of the Aurora Groupâs demands. Her explanation made sense. After all, about. He had never bowed to anyone before.
this
is was William they were talking
âLet me handle them next time.â Bryan showed his support and concern. âHealth comes first, Mr. Middleton. You need to take care of yourself.â William replied coolly, âI will. Thank you for staying so late, Mr. Swanson and Mr. Davis. Iâm fine now. Itâs getting late. Ms. Jones will see you out.â With that, Ashton said, âThis way please, Mr. Swanson and Mr. Davis
Bryan and Charles bid their goodbyes. âTake care, Mr. Middleton. Weâll visit you another day,â
Although these two were supposed to be their close partners, they were constantly testing each other.
After they lett, Ellas closed the door to the room, clicking his tongue in annoyance.
Not only did Beathan loathe Charles for associating himself with them. Ever since knowing Charles was close to Beathan, Elias also felt disgusted by Charles.
Jayden set up a small table attached to the hospital bed and poured out some chicken soup that Ashton had ordered from a private kitchen.
Jayden didnât believe Ashtonâs explanation. Given Williamâs character, he wouldnât get upset over the Aurora Group.
âEven if you lost the SAM bid to the Filo Group and Wesley, you shouldnât neglect your health because youâre upset,â Jayden said, thinking Willian was upset about lesing SAM to Wesley.
William glanced at him but neither confirmed nor denied it. It didnât matter to him if the other familles believed Ashtonâs explanation or thought something along the lines of what Jayden did.
He stirred the chicken soup and faintly smiled. âWell, the trip to Mercianna was worth it. I met a worthy opponent.â
Jayden asked, âAn opponent? Is it Wesley?â
Of course not
William hadnât realized who was behind everything until Wesleyâs car accident. Finally, he learned that Wesley had a new secretary and suddenly understood it was her who had been competing with him for SAM. She was different from the past and had improved a lot.
Williamâs dull gaze brightened slightly at the thought of her.
Chapter 593 i Vos Worth the Ing.
Elias didnât care to figure out the riddles he was speaking in. Hence, he simply replied, âAnyway, Will, you need to take it easy. Your dad is already in poor health. If something happens to you now, your stepmother and stepsister would be so happy theyâd throw a party.â
William looked at him and said, âInstead of worrying about me, you should care more about Ms. Thornton. Sheâs five months pregnant, right? If she needs anything, let me know. Make sure she safely delivers the baby and recovers well.â
Elias looked as if heâd seen a ghost. âWhy are you so concerned about my wibe!!!
William took a sip of chicken soup, the hot liquid reddening his bloodless lips. âBecause Iâll need her help in the future.
