Chapter 3023
Firstly, Hayden had high standards. In the past twenty years, he had not shown any interest in women, which indicated that he was not the type to play around. Once he was committed to someone, he was unlikely to change his mind. Secondly, Hayden had taken the initiative to visit Shelly's home, suggesting that they were not far from going public with their relationship. ... After finishing the video call with his mother, Hayden went to the front yard to find the children. Mrs. Taylor had laid out a children's crawling mat in the yard for the two kids to play on. It was warm outside, and the weather during this season was temperate, and it was fine to bask in the sun like this. Upon seeing Hayden come out, Mrs. Taylor immediately said, "I'm letting the kids soak up some sun to absorb Vitamin D. The pediatrician mentioned it during Audrey's check-up. They said it's good for the children's health to spend more time outdoors." Hayden nodded and said, "Why don't you take a brea

"Let's get your mother into a different room!" Hayden said, before turning to communicate with the staff. Shelly grabbed his arm and said, "I've asked the nurse, and she said that there are a lot of patients at the moment, so there isn't another room available." "Just stay with your mom. I will negotiate with them." With that, he walked away. Shelly watched as he left and felt relieved. Though she was the one who had called Hayden, she did not expect him to hurry over to the hospital to see her mother, as all she wanted was for him to stay with their daughter. After all, without anyone there, there was no telling if the servants would take good care of Audrey. Shelly approached her mother's hospital bed and told her about Hayden's visit. "I just saw him. I thought he would come in and say a few words to me! Why did he leave without coming in?" Mrs. Taylor's pain had eased a bit by now, but she still looked sickly. "He said this place is too crowded, so he went to ask

"You're overthinking it. Appendicitis is common," Hayden said. Just then, Avery called. Seeing his mother's incoming call, Hayden already knew what she was going to say. He answered the call, spoke a few words with his mother, and hung up. "Do you have something to attend to? If you have something to do, go ahead." Shelly assumed he had some urgent matter to attend to. "It's my mom. She said she wants to come and see your mom. It's a bit late tonight, so she won't disturb you. She'll come when your mom has the surgery," Hayden explained. Shelly's eyes welled up with tears. "Hayden, thank you to you both." "There's no need to thank us." The two walked through a long corridor and arrived at the special care ward. This ward could not be accessed by money alone; one had to have certain privileges to stay there. Mrs. Taylor was already lying on a clean and spacious bed, looking pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the ward was. It was clean, without any unpleasant o

He did not mention that he was also giving himself a chance. Before meeting Shelly, he could never picture what kind of a woman he would marry, because he had never felt anything for women.The only thing he had considered was finding a wife of equal status and capability as he, for that way, they would at least share some common interests. Never had he imagined that Shelly would change his mindset completely. Shelly was instantly overwhelmed by emotions at his words. "Why aren't you saying anything?" Hayden glanced at Shelly when he pulled to a stop in front of a red traffic light. Shelly looked at him sincerely and said, "Hayden, you don't know this, but I've always felt that I'm not worthy of you. That's why I didn't dare to say anything even when I found out that I have feelings for you. I didn't want to make myself miserable or burden you. However, if you're willing to give me a chance, I'm willing to give it a try. No matter the outcome, I won't have any regrets."

A bodyguard walked over to her. "Ms. Taylor, allow me to escort you to the hospital." It was the bodyguard Hayden hired specifically to protect Audrey. Shelly normally would not order him around, and he was only required to guard the premises. She realized that Hayden was the one who had ordered him to drive her to the hospital. "Thank you," she said. Upon arriving at the hospital, Mrs. Taylor was already asleep, so Shelly turned off the lights and laid down on the guest bed. Overwhelmed by excitement, she struggled to sleep. Had her mother not fallen asleep, she would have shared her excitement with her mother. Shelly reached for her phone and decided to message Courtney and tell her the good news. [Courtney, are you asleep?] Shelly typed. [No! Why are you contacting me this late in the night? Is there something you want to talk about?] Courtney replied. [My mom got hospitalized for appendicitis.] [Huh? Today, you mean? I'll visit Auntie tomorrow. Don't worry! Ap

After Avery finished speaking, Shelly's face turned a shade of crimson. "You are too kind." Mrs. Taylor sighed, echoing what Avery and her daughter had said. There was no hint of pretense in Avery's demeanor; she was full of warmth and vitality, completely unlike any other high-status lady. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Shelly is truly an exceptional young woman! Our whole family really likes her," Avery said while Shelly brought over a chair for her to sit on. Once Avery plopped down on the chair, she looked at Shelly and asked, "Shelly, did Hayden spend the night at the hospital to keep you company?"Avery had asked her that because she wanted to gauge the progress of Hayden's relationship. Shelly immediately shook her head. "No, he said he has a house near the hospital, so he probably stayed there." Shelly could not bring herself to lie. If she failed to inform Avery that Hayden did not stay at the hospital, Avery would definitely start overthinking thing

As soon as Avery left, Shelly immediately called Hayden, who was taking a stroll in the park near the hospital with Audrey. Upon receiving the call, he answered it right away. "Has my mom left?" "She just did. How do you know she was here?" Shelly asked. "I dropped by the hospital with Audrey an hour ago." Hayden sighed a breath of relief. "Why was my mom there?" "She came to see my mom. Your mom is just so nice and friendly! She said she will come back with your dad to check on my mom tomorrow."Shelly was so touched that she felt a lump forming in her throat. Since her mother forbade her from telling the family, Shelly originally thought she would be the only one taking care of her mother during her surgery and had never expected Hayden and his family to take care of them so well. "I'll bring our daughter over now," Hayden spoke up. "Maybe it's better not to bring our daughter here. After all, this is a hospital, and it wouldn't be good if she caught something," said S

Although Hayden was already in his twenties, he always felt like a child when facing his mother. Hayden took a deep breath and said, "Mom, you don't need to pack my luggage. I have everything I need here." "Oh, I see. If you need anything, just have someone deliver it." Avery's tone softened. "Hayden, on a more serious note, you two should live together if Shelly is okay with it. Only by spending time together day and night can you know if you and her are compatible. If you two get along well, you can bring Aiden over. It would be wonderful to live as a family of three!" Hayden furrowed his brow slightly. "Mom, don't you like Aiden anymore?" "Of course, I like him, but Aiden is ultimately your child. If you establish a new family, it's only natural to have him with you," Avery explained. "If we want to see Aiden, we can always go and visit, or you can bring him over to visit us when you have time. Our houses are so close to one another, so there won't be a problem." Avery did
