Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 432

Chapter 432

Besides, staying in the hospital any longer wouldn’t change anything.

More importantly, with so many people outside eyeing Walton Corporation like wolves, how could Grace possibly stay here and rest easy?

She needed to know exactly what was happening out there.

If she wanted progress, she couldn’t afford to stay still–that was the simplest truth.

Once she saw Jason heading off to arrange the discharge, Grace’s expression finally softened.

Lying in bed, she stared up at the ceiling as her thoughts drifted far away.

“Rora, are we really okay leaving Mom alone in the hospital like that?”

Lucas was behind the wheel, unable to hold back the question any longer.

Aurora felt just as worried deep down, but she didn’t show it on her face.

“It’s fine. That’s just how my mom is.”

She let out a soft sigh. “Even if you forced her to stay now, she wouldn’t take it kindly.”

“Honestly, I already guessed that kicking us out was her way of hinting she wanted to be discharged.”

Lucas raised a brow at that. “If you knew, why go along with it?”

“Because I know her. And knowing her means understanding that staying there would only make things worse. It’d get in her way.”

Lucas thought about it from another angle and realized she was right.

The two of them clearly shared a kind of unspoken understanding others didn’t.

Sometimes, talking didn’t matter–what mattered was what you chose to do.

Aurora smiled. “Besides, even if she hadn’t told us to leave, there wouldn’t have been much we could do just sitting around.

“To put it bluntly, if we ignored her wishes and stayed, we’d just be taking up space.”

Lucas had to admit that for once, he had nothing to say in return.

She made complete sense.

If nothing else, the two of them standing around when they couldn’t actually help would’ve only gotten in the way.

“Alright, we’re home,” Lucas said.

Aurora looked at the darkened house ahead, and for some reason, warmth stirred quietly in her heart.

It felt comforting.

The house used to be dark like this too, but back then, it felt cold and empty, as if no one had ever truly lived there.

But now, things were different.

She glanced at Lucas as he stepped out of the car with her, and a wave of reassurance washed over her.

In the past, she always felt like she didn’t belong here, like she couldn’t quite fit into this home.

But now, she realized she had been wrong all along.

There was no such thing as a perfect fit from the start.

It took time and effort.

Without that, nothing else mattered.

Lucas noticed her pausing at the door. “What is it? Why are you just standing there?”

Autora smiled faintly. “Nothing I just think… this, right now, is enough. I’m content.”

Even if she’d fallen out completely with Tessa, it didn’t matter anymore.

She was willing to take the time to repair things with Grace.

And as long as she could protect this little family of hers–that would be enough.
