The True Heiress is the Reserved Fiancé's Exclusive Memory-Chapter 524 - 535: She Only Wants the Monthly Ticket (6)
The move from Cloud Capital to Peace is actually considered quite a long transfer, with a hint of demotion in terms of authority, but it’s indeed not serious.
After all— 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
If the post-disaster reconstruction is done well, it counts as a significant achievement.
Next time there’s a change, it’ll surely be a big promotion.
There’s nothing to worry about.
Thinking through this, Aurora Cooper felt relieved and smiled, saying, "Don’t worry, with me here, I’ll take good care of Mia."
"Thank you." Aiden Jiang nodded.
Aurora was slightly dumbfounded, and said calmly, "No need to thank me, she’s my child too."
Mentioning this, the two couldn’t help but feel awkward.
Aurora turned her head to look elsewhere.
Aiden took a few more looks at her, after a while, he suddenly asked, "Why did you leave without saying a word back then?"
"What?" Aurora was slightly puzzled.
When she realized, her expression was a bit unnatural, and instead of answering, she changed the subject, saying, "Hmm, who is Daniella?"
"..." Aiden was momentarily confused.
"It’s a woman’s name, isn’t it?" Aurora asked again.
Aiden was stunned, hesitated for a moment, but spoke honestly, "Koa’s aunt, Daniella Jackson, why do you..."
He fell silent halfway through the sentence.
Aurora smiled faintly, "I just asked casually."
Aiden nodded, not elaborating.
Aurora glanced at the hospital room and heard Bob and Mia talking. After a bit of contemplation, she said, "What about Bob? How is this child going to be arranged? We can’t let this family issue affect his education."
"We’ve discussed this already. He’s preparing to study abroad, leaving after the exams."
"Studying abroad?" Aurora was quite surprised.
"Yeah." Aiden seemed to sigh lightly, saying, "He requested it himself, and I think it’s appropriate."
"It’s good to go out and see the world, to broaden his horizons." Aurora said softly.
Aiden nodded, responding with an "Mm."
Both of them fell silent for a while.

The next day, in the morning.
Just after ten o’clock, Koa Jackson arrived at the hospital room.
Mia was still asleep, resting peacefully.
The nurse assistant sat beside, with the TV playing at a low volume, watching a program.
Koa glanced at her and asked, "Where’s the family?"
"Just received a phone call and went out."
"Oh." Koa nodded, acknowledging the information, walked to the bedside, pulled a chair over, and sat down looking at Mia.
The little girl looked quiet in her sleep, with a slight curl at the corner of her lips, as if she was having a pleasant dream.
Making him feel at ease.
For the past ten days Mia was hospitalized, he had been suffering from insomnia. No matter what he did, he couldn’t sleep well. Yet in the morning, he felt energetic, waking up bright and early and heading to the hospital well-dressed. He arrived very early every day.
"Dr. Jackson?"
Mia soon woke up, seeing him lost in thought, she called out softly.
Koa looked at her and smiled gently.
Mia was pleased, maintaining her tilted head position, and asked, "Did you come to keep me company? It’s too early."
"It’s ten o’clock, how is it early?"
"Hmm." Mia pouted, her dark eyes blinking, stating matter-of-factly, "I’m a patient, I need plenty of rest. I usually wake up after ten. By the way, what time did you come?"
"Just came."
"That’s good." Mia nodded, "You haven’t waited long for me."
Her speech was slower than usual, taking her time with each sentence, even small things had to be said.
