Two hourster, Robert and Ivy returned home.


    Robert felt drained and so did Ivy, mainly because Dean and the others were far too talkative.


    Ivy had no knowledge about Sterling Group at the very beginning and after two hours'' time, her head was filled with information about Sterling Group and their future development ns.


    "Robert, they are quite nice, actually." Seeing how Robert was staring into the distance nkly, she sat down next to him on the couch.


    "Sure, but I just can''t take it when they keep trying to lecture us just because they are older, you know? Hayden''spany isn''t like that, though. I will take you to his office when I have the chance." Robert''s eyes lit up when he talked about Hayden''spany.


    "I don''t feel that way, Robert. I think that all the guys we met today are really nice and enthusiastic. It''s a great thing that they are willing to share with us their experience and thoughts. I guess I just haven''t received that much love growing up, so I don''t see the issue in the way they behave."


    Robert straightened his back and said, "Ivy, do you want to try being an intern at Dad''spany this winter holiday, then?"


    "I prefer to try being a host for now."


    "There''s no rush. You can try being a TV host first and try working in Dad''spany in the future. If you like it there, you can always work there and Dad would be over the moon," Robert said, carefully leaving out the part where he would be overjoyed as well if Ivy chose to inherit Sterling Group.


    "It''s too early to draw any conclusion, Robert! You should try working in Dad''spany first! Maybe you will get used to it right away," Ivy said.


    "It''s quite early for me as well. I''m just one year older than you."From N?velDrama.Org.


    "Well, if you don''t want to start working so soon, you can tell Dad to wait until you graduate," Ivy said. "Dad respects our will and he won''t make you do anything that you don''t want to."


    "I suppose."


    "Robert, has Mom mentioned when Uncle Eric will undergo the surgery?"


    "She didn''t say anything. I guess it won''t be confirmed until La and the others arrive!" Robert pulled out his phone to check the time. "Ivy, it''s past eight now. Are you still going to practice tonight?"


    "Yeah." Ivy stood from the couch.


    "Mister Gardner said that he would practice whenever he had time when he was in university. If I''m not as talented as others, I will have


    work twice as hard. I think what he said makes sense and I respect him."


    "Don''t overwork yourself, Ivy."


    "I know. I will be careful. Good night, Robert."


    "Good night."


    Meanwhile, in Bridgedale.


    Avery was confirming the surgical n with the doctors multiple times to minimize the risk when Elliot arrived with La and Eric''s parents.


    Avery proceeded to exin the entire procedures and Eric''s current condition to Mr. and Mrs. Santos, and the two nodded.


    "Avery, we are d that you are here."


    "I will be supervising the surgery," Avery said. "You should head back to the hotel and rest. I will inform you once the time for the surgery is confirmed."


    Mrs. Santos hesitated. "Avery, can I


    go in and see Eric? It''s been so long... something happens to him during the surgery, I want to know that ve at least seen him for onest time."


    Avery hesitated for a moment and agreed.


    Mr. Santos followed his wife''s lead and went inside the Intensive Care Units to see Eric.


    La instinctively wanted to follow them, but was stopped by Elliot.


    "You said that he will make it through, right? Just wait!" Elliot said "If Eric has the power to choose, he wouldn''t want anyone to see him in his current state."


    Patients, especially those in the Intensive Care Units, had no ability to preserve their own pride and Elliot had discussed this with Avery in the past.
