Chapter 724
Chapter 724 Identical Face
Avery decided to return to the hospital first. At her strong insistence, Alina returned home to rest.
After sending the twins back to school, Cayden went straight to Trident Group.
After returning to the hospital, Avery found that ke had not yet awakened from his faint. Xavier was
still keeping vigil in the ward.
Avery gratefully smiled at Xavier. Looking at her unconscious grandfather, she said sadly, “Thank you,
Mr. Dartsley, for your help this time. Cecelia is at home taking care of the two children; she must be
overwhelmed. You should go back first.”
She felt rather bad.
Although Xavier was an assistant, and he was always called upon to help with matters big and small,
he, too, needed his own time and had personal affairs to attend to.
Besides, he and Cecelia now had two children. They were busy every day. She would try not to bother
him in the future.
Xavier nced at ke. Seeing that his condition had stabilized, he said, “All right. Ms. Rumpley, I''ll be
taking my leave now. If there''s anything else, feel free to contact me.”
“Mm-hmm.”
After Xavier left, Avery sat down on the chair next to the sickbed. She carefully held her grandfather''s
hand. “Grandpa, I''m sorry, it''s all my fault. If I had been by your side all along, perhaps this ident
wouldn''t have happened...”
The only response to her was the steady drip of the IV, but ke remained unconscious.
Yuvan mentioned that after ke''s surgery, it would take some time for him to fully regain
consciousness.
Even though he was in aa, it would be greatly beneficial to his recovery to talk to him often. This
might stimte him to wake up sooner.
Avery clearly took Yuvan''s advice to heart. Even though she knew her grandfather might not be able to
hear her, she held his hand gently, speaking continuously. Most of what she talked about were stories
from her childhood.
She was raised by her grandfather since she was a little girl, always by his side during her childhood.
Her affection for her grandfather ran incredibly deep.
But ever since she started high school, the time she spent with her grandfather became scarce. Back
then, she didn''t understand the value of cherishing these moments—always thinking that there was
plenty of time ahead. She wanted to focus on her studies, work, and earn money, believing that this
was the only way she could provide him with better living conditions.
Every time she left home, her grandfather would always stand reluctantly at the entrance of the vige.
He would watch her depart as he silently wiped away his tears.
Before, she waspletely oblivious to this, but she now understood that what the elderly truly needed
wasn''t a sum of money, but thepanionship of their grandchild.
Tears shimmered in Avery''s eyes as she fought back her sorrow, whispering softly, “Grandpa, please
wake up. I''ve found the grandson-inw you''ve always been talking about. He even came to see you
today. Don''t you want to meet him? I''m sorry, Grandpa. I''ve been so consumed with work and always
thought you would stay so robust and healthy forever. I didn''t take the time to be with you. I was
wrong... Grandpa, I hope you get better soon. Once you''re well, I''ll take you on a trip. You''ve always
been talking about going back to your hometown, haven''t you? When you''ve recovered, I''ll take you
back to stay for a few days. How does that sound?”
At Trident Group, the moment Cayden, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, appeared at thepany,
he caused quite a stir.
This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
That was especially so for the female employees in thepany, whose eyes were practically
sparkling with excitement. Some of them couldn''t even believe they were seeing the CEO in person.
They rubbed their eyes in disbelief and started to whisper and gossip quietly.
“Oh my goodness, is... is that our CEO? Can someone pinch me, please? I need to know if I''m seeing
things!”
“Could that be someone who looks like our CEO? Hasn''t the CEO already... However, he really does
look exactly like our CEO. He''s so handsome! Very handsome!”
“Are you an idiot? If he isn''t the CEO, why would he show up at ourpany? Do you see that? He''s
waiting for the CEO''s exclusive elevator. That elevator requires face and fingerprint recognition, so
ordinary employees can''t use it at all. I think he''s our CEO...”
Among them, a slightly bold female employee from themerce department meticulously adjusted
her attire.
With a heart full of excitement, she walked over here and tentatively greeted Cayden, who was waiting
in front of the CEO''s elevator. “M-Mr. Moore, you''re back?”
With a handsome face devoid of emotion, Cayden gave her a nod, simply responding, “Mm-hmm.”
The moment he began to speak, the elevator of the CEO chimed,ing to a halt on the first floor.
The tall and imposing man entered the elevator.
The elevator doors closed, and that godlike handsome face simply vanished before their eyes.
“Oh my goodness, he really is our CEO, I''m sure of it. Only Mr. Moore could have such a perfectly
captivating face, and that sexy, maic voice that''s so familiar. Mr. Moore is back!” The female
employee from themerce department hurried back to the elevator, her face flushed with
excitement as she gossiped about the news she had just discovered to the others.
Upon hearing this, the other female employees immediately began chattering, bubbling with
excitement. They conversed non-stop, and some even let out exaggerated screams of surprise.
Just as Wisteria entered from outside, she saw their noisy and rowdy behavior. Immediately, an icy look
crept onto her pretty face as she scolded sternly, “What''s happening? Yelling and making a scene
during work hours? This behavior is uneptable. Return to work immediately!”
Wisteria''s outburst startled several female employees, causing their previous cheers and excitement to
instantly dissipate.
Within the group was the female employee from themerce department, who addressed her in a
soft and conciliatory manner, saying, “Ms. Summers, we just noticed the CEO''s return, and we got
exceptionally excited, which led to our raised voices. We assure you that it won''t happen again.”
Wisteria was a renowned figure at Trident Group, and her reputation wasn''t solely based on her striking
looks, exceptional work skills, and formidable abilities. It was also because she was exceptionally
choosy when it came to selecting a partner, and her temperament resembled that of a stern, old-school
martial arts master.
Especially during the two years when the CEO had been absent from thepany, Wisteria, who was
originally quite aloof, appeared to have be even more enigmatic and entric. Except for a
handful of top executives within thepany, no other employees dared to cross her, let alone pursue
any kind of rtionship with her.
Outwardly, the female employees showed the utmost respect to Wisteria, but in private, they had given
her a nickname— “Witch Summers.”
Upon hearing the response from the female staff member in themerce department, Wisteria felt as
if she had been hit by a bolt from the blue and asked in disbelief, “What did you say? Mr. Moore is
back? When did this happen?”
The female employee was taken aback by Wisteria''s frightening expression, and herposure was
rattled for a few seconds. She stammered, “Just... just now... Mr. Moore took the elevator upstairs...”
Just as they were speaking, the staff elevator arrived.
Wisteria was the first to dart into the elevator. Before the other employees could even step in, she
quickly pressed the button for her desired floor and immediately hit the close button.
The elevator isted everyone else, effectively cutting off their dissatisfaction and murmurs.
Cayden had returned.
This news was akin to a ray of hope breaking through a sky filled with gloomy dust, instantly rekindling
Wisteria''s once quiet heart. The more it burned, the more brilliantly it shone.
