"Transfer hospital." Mason Nightshade casually tossed out the words.

Grayson Quinn was momentarily stunned, "You’re... you’re transferring to Balthazar Shaw’s hospital? Just to maybe run into her once? She’s hurt you like this and hasn’t even looked at you once, hasn’t inquired about your condition. It shows you’re not that important to her.

Mason, listen to me, give up on this woman. There are plenty of good women out there, why does it have to be her?"

"It just has to be her." Grayson said calmly, "Will you help me with the transfer, or do I have to go down and handle it myself?"

"I’ll do it." Unable to persuade Mason Nightshade otherwise, Grayson obediently went out to handle the transfer paperwork.

In the hallway, Junia Simpson, who was coming to check on Mason’s condition, was approached by Grayson’s long stride, who said helplessly, "You should try to persuade Mason; he insists on transferring to Balthazar Shaw’s hospital. How can that hospital’s medical level possibly take care of Mason’s health?"

"Do you think you or I can change Mason’s mind once he’s decided?" Junia countered.

Grayson opened his mouth.

"Mason knows better than any of us what he’s doing. If he believes it’s worth it, all we can do is comply." Junia said, "Don’t worry about Mason’s health. I’ll coordinate with the city hospital to send a few doctors from the military district hospital over. With me there, nothing will happen to Mason."

"Instead of worrying about Mason’s health, worry about what will happen to him if they don’t make up."

Junia’s words left Grayson momentarily stunned, "What do you mean?"

Junia gave him a meaningful look and walked away.

"What does she mean?" Grayson felt a dissatisfaction from his curiosity not being fulfilled, coupled with an unresolved frustration, seeing Junia seemed naturally at odds with him, taking pleasure in his pain.

Grayson quickly handled Mason Nightshade’s transfer paperwork.

Meanwhile, at the city central hospital.

Aurelia Shaw pushed open Balthazar Shaw’s hospital room door.

Balthazar Shaw was already awake, taking the medicine passed by the nurse. Seeing Aurelia arrive, his feelings were complex, not knowing what attitude to adopt when facing this daughter again.

"Was it you who set up Clara Philips and Xiao Ru’s situation?" As soon as he spoke, Balthazar realized he had chosen a poor topic.

Aurelia sat on the sofa, furrowing her eyebrows at his words, "You’re still making me call her Aunt Clara?

The engagement party incident was my doing, but the evidence wasn’t fake. Before marrying you, Clara was already pregnant. She had been a man’s mistress, and after he abandoned her, she was nearly three months pregnant. The doctor told her if she aborted, she might never conceive again, so she chose you, proposing that man take on the role of this child’s father."

Seeing Balthazar wince with heartache, Aurelia laughed, uncertain whether she was laughing at herself or at Balthazar, then stood up, patted her clothes, "I just came to check on you and tell you I’m going to M Nation in a few days."

"For how many days?" Balthazar subconsciously asked.

Even though he’s failed this daughter, she’s still his only family now.

People often crave family companionship at their most vulnerable.

"Uncertain." Aurelia said.

Balthazar paused for a moment, quickly realizing, "You’re not coming back?"

"Probably not." If nothing unexpected happens, she might never return to the country in her lifetime.
