CHAPTER 373: CHAPTER 373 RETURNING TO THE OLD RESIDENCE

"Doctor."

Aurelia Shaw’s eyes showed surprise. She thought he would say lawyer, trader, financial analyst, or some other challenging profession. She couldn’t imagine him as a doctor.

Wouldn’t he scare unruly patients?

Bzz bzz—

A phone rang.

Interrupting their conversation.

Aurelia saw the caller ID, her eyes softened, and she smiled, "Grandpa."

Mason Nightshade couldn’t help but glance at her. The sunlight gently shone on her face, her smile bright and beautiful, her almond eyes sparkling. His heart thumped rapidly, staring at her moving red lips, gaze heated and dark, his Adam’s apple bobbing.

Aurelia didn’t notice the man’s intense gaze and heard Kai Nightshade’s reprimanding voice, "Hmph, you little girl, do you not regard me as your grandpa? Such a big incident and you didn’t tell me, I only found out from the TV that you had a car accident yesterday!"

Aurelia’s eyes crinkled with amusement. Was it because in her past life she was treated too harshly that she now liked being cared for in this manner?

"Haven’t you heard that children only share the good news, not the bad? Besides..." She raised an eyebrow, her tone regaining its usual arrogance, "Those media folks just write nonsense. Yesterday they slandered me with rumors, and now they’re hyping up my car accident everywhere. I clearly wrote it’s just a minor injury. I’m fine. One of these days, I’ll really teach them a lesson!"

Hearing her spirited voice, Kai Nightshade exhaled in relief and, with a huff, said, "With your small frame, you still want to bully others? Just don’t let others bully you. Butler Li said you’ve been bullied quite badly online recently?"

"Why didn’t you tell Grandpa about this? I’d send people to fix those bullies. How dare they bully my granddaughter-in-law? Absolutely ridiculous! If I knew how to go online and saw this, I’d have their whole publication shut down."

Aurelia couldn’t help but laugh, "Yeah, luckily you don’t know how to go online. Otherwise, you’d out me as your granddaughter-in-law, and there goes my career in the entertainment industry."

"Why not rely on your background when you have one? Those who criticize you are just jealous of your strong backing. No need to refrain from taking shortcuts." Kai Nightshade sounded protective.

Whoever dared speak ill of his granddaughter-in-law, he’d shut their mouths first.

"Where’s that brat Mason?"

"He’s here."

"Let me speak to him."

Mason was lost in thought gazing at Aurelia’s face when she suddenly looked at him, startling him before she handed him the phone.

Without changing his expression, Mason took it and walked to the window, "Grandpa." "Yes, I understand." "I’ll take good care of her." "But... okay, I understand. I’ll bring her back tomorrow."

Mason put away the phone and walked over to her, seeing her raise an eyebrow at him... "It’s an invitation too hard to refuse."

She said nothing, her chin lifted as she looked at him.

"I did refuse."

"You said no more than five sentences." Aurelia exposed him.

Mason kept a straight face, "Refusing is hard to say. Grandpa said even if he has to knock me out, I have to bring you back. Do you want to choose a method?"

"Is this how you take care of patients?" Aurelia’s eyes narrowed, showing a moment ago’s expression before shifting her demeanor again. This man shouldn’t be trusted too easily.
