Everett Group fell into internal turmoil. Outside rivals circled like vultures. The stock price crashed, and the company faced a crisis unlike anything before.

In that chaos, Mason stepped in and took company in Evan’s place.

His actions were fast and decisive. He stabilized the situation in no time.

Not only did he pull the company out of danger, he also expanded Everett Group’s business several times over in just a few years.

The outside world praised Mason as a once in a century business genius. Cold, sharp, and ruthless.

So much so that few people still remembered he had once been a top science student at an elite university, winning international awards one after another.

Thinking of this, Amelia’s heart was suddenly caught by a strange emotion.

She felt an unexpected ache for Mason.

Amelia finished the last bite of her sandwich.

“Ms. Harlow, I’ll take you outside now,” Miles said wheelchair.

at the right moment, stepping forward to push her

“Thank you, Miles,” Amelia replied politely. She let him wheel her through the bright entryway and into the parking area in front of the villa.

The early autumn sunlight carried just the right amount of warmth. It felt comfortable on her skin.

Mason was leaning against the car door.

His gaze was distant, fixed on the sky. The lines of his face looked even sharper in the shifting light.

Hearing the sound of the wheelchair, he came back

back to himself and walked over.

He naturally moved behind the wheelchair and took hold of the handles from Miles.

“Have a safe trip, Sir,” Miles said with a

bow

Mason gave a short response and pushed Amelia to the passenger door.

He opened it, then crouched down so they were eye to eye.

“Can

you manage on your own?” he asked.

Amelia nodded. Holding the door frame, she carefully lifted herself and moved into the seat.

The entire time, his hand hovered near her waist. Close enough to help if needed, but never crossing a line.

Once she was settled, Mason folded the wheelchair and placed it in the trunk, then got into the driver’s seat.

The car rolled smoothly out of the estate.

The cabin was quiet.

“What were you talking about with Miles just now?” Mason asked, eyes on the road, sounding casual.

Amelia’s heart skipped for no clear reason.

She turned to look at him. He was focused on driving, as if it truly had been a simple question.

“Nothing special. Just small talk,” she answered vaguely, avoiding anything related to him.

But the moment she finished speaking, Miles’s words echoed in her mind. “Mr. Mason has not been this happy in a long time.”

Happy?

That word felt out of place next to Mason.

Without realizing it, Amelia’s gaze settled on his profile.

She studied his expression.

It did seem softer than when they first reunited, back when his face looked like solid ice.

He was not smiling, and his lips were still pressed into a firm line. Yet the distance around him had eased, just a little.

So the reason he was happier… Was it because of her?

The thought appeared without warning.

Amelia’s heartbeat jumped.

She startled herself and quickly looked away, her cheeks warming.

Impossible.

She mocked her own imagination and forced her attention elsewhere.

They stayed quiet the rest of the way and soon arrived at the hospital.

In the orthopedic exam room, the doctor carefully cut away the thick cast.

When the last piece was removed, Amelia felt a long missed sense of lightness in her ankle.

She gently moved her foot. It was still stiff, with a faint ache, but the heavy pressure was gone.

“You’re healing very well,” the senior doctor said after checking her ankle and reviewing her scans. He smiled with satisfaction. “The bone has healed nicely. Avoid intense movement for now and start light rehab exercises. You should be able to walk normally again soon.”

“Really? That’s wonderful,” Amelia said, unable to hide her relief. After days of tension, a bit of sunshine. finally reached her heart.

“Doctor,” she added after a moment, hope in her voice, “I may need to attend an important event in about a week. I really don’t want to go with crutches or a wheelchair. Is there any treatment that could help me recover faster?”

Serving as a judge at that design competition meant a great deal to her.

She did not want to appear weak or injured.

The doctor thought for a moment, looking uncertain. “In terms of modern medicine, there’s no special shortcut. Rest and gradual rehab are still the key. However, traditional treatments like needle treatment and massage might help improve circulation and recovery.”
