The plane moved steadily, drawing a white line across the light blue sky. Mona leaned on Maxwell’s shoulder and slowly waited for the plane to land. 

After arriving at Horieta’s airport, Mona and Maxwell saw Haley going to pick them up as soon as they got off the plane. 

Haley immediately saw Mona walking over and Maxwell beside her. She ran over and took the luggage from Maxwell. “Mona, you’re here. Come on, Jane has been waiting for you for long time.” 

Maxwell watched as Mona’s other arm was held by Haley as she walked forward. He glared at Haley. 

Haley silently retracted her hand. She thought, “Maxwell has a bad temper. I wonder why Mona can stand being with him every day! 

When the three of them arrived at the hospital, Luke’s medical team was there, holding a medical report of Bernard on the hospital bed. 

“Mona, Maxwell, you guys are here. Come over.” Jane waved at Mona and the others. 

Mona and Maxwell sat on the sofa beside Jane and looked at Luke expectantly. 

Dr. Bird, go ahead. Everyone is here.” Jane looked at Luke. 

When Luke attempted to inform her, she opted to wait for Mona and the rest to join and hear it together, hence she refrained from getting the news first. She only knew that their team had developed an antidote for Bernard’s poison. 

“Here’s the thing. We’ve already identified Bernard’s poison. However, there’s a missing medicine in the antidote. It’s a rare herb. I happen to know there’s a charity banquet tonight where the herb is one of the auction items. Once we acquire the herb, we’ll turn it into an antidote and administer it to Bernard Then, he’ll have traditional medicine to aid his recovery. Then he will be cured.” After Luke finished speaking, he placed the invitation letter on the table. 

He continued, “The herb is so rare that many people will be eager to possess it. Even those without illness will seek it to prolong their lives or maintain their beauty. Thus, it won’t be easy to secure. I hope you can manage to acquire it.” 

Mona reached out to take the invitation letter on the table and said with extreme confidence, “Don’t worry, I will definitely buy it.” 

She was confident that even if she went bankrupt, she would buy this rare herb and cure her grandfather’s poison. 

In the afternoon, Maxwell received a call from Bud, who informed him that the Carter Group had an extremely important clien. visiting Nathontown and required to meet Maxwell. Furthermore, upon learning that Maxwell had traveled abroad Gordon was quick to suggest taking Maxwell’s place. 

Maxwell knew how important this client was to Carter Group. It directly affected the company’s operating profits this year. If they could not reach an agreement, Richard might directly dismiss him as the company’s executive CEO. 

This client had to come at this time. But Mona still needed him. 

“Maxwell, you can go Mona said. 

back to deal with your business. I have Haley with me. It’ll be fine. I’ll definitely get the herb back” 

Jane witnessed that Maxwell would come to Horieta with Mona every weekend. This time, there was something important and there was nothing they could do. 

“Mona, forget it. I want to be here with you I’m worried about you being alone, Maxwell said seriously. He could take his

“What’s there to worry about? Did you forget that you hired a bodyguard for me? Alright, I know what you’re thinking. Just go in case it’s too late.” 

Mona urged. She pulled Maxwell’s luggage and chased him out. 

“Then I’ll come back as soon as I’m done. If there’s anything, you must tell me. Before boarding the plane, Maxwell did not forget to remind Mona. 

“Alright, alright, alright. Of course. If I had known you were this busy, I wouldn’t have let you come with me. You’ve wasted your time on the way. Hurry up and go inside. I can handle it on iny own,” Mona insisted, hearing the boarding announcement and giving Maxwell a gentle push. 

Maxwell reluctantly let go of Mona’s hand. He took a step forward and looked back at Mona. His eyes were filled with reluctance. 

Mona stood where she was and waved at Maxwell. She smiled and urged him to go inside. 

It was not until the staff began to urge him that Maxwell’s tall figure disappeared into the crowd. Mona left the airport with Haley and returned to the hospital. 

The night was pitch black, with stars glittering high above. Each time Mona gazed upward, it felt as though she was peering 

into its eyes. 

Mond appeared at the entrance of the auction in a black gauze dress. The moment she looked up at the stars, it was as if she was gazing into Maxwell’s eyes. Whenever Maxwell was being affectionate, his eyes would twinkle like stars. 

“Mona, are we going in?” Haley asked. This was her first time participating in such an auction. Her heart was filled with excitement. She wanted to see what the auction was like. 

Mona took a deep breath. “Let’s go.” 

They walked towards the auction. Mona handed the invitation letter to the guard at the door and the two of them were invited in. 

Mona pulled Haley to the seats in front of them. They sat down according to the invitation.
