Audrey raised her hand to tuck the messy strands of hair behind her ears and cleared her throat, saying, “Is the Franklin family in such a hurry?”
“They are indeed quite urgent!”
“Although they are in a hurry, let’s not rush them. We, at Evergreen Biotech, have always offered domestic partners prices tens of times lower than those for foreign partners. This is to benefit our own country with our technology. I don’t want a repeat of what happened to the collaboration with Yellowfield Corporation last time, so… If they don’t agree to our conditions, we’ll just keep pressing them.” Audrey said.
Previously, when collaborating with Yellowfield Corporation in Cascadia, they raised the price even higher than the foreign medical centers. If Audrey wasn’t facing difficulties in the domestic collaboration process and delayed putting it into use, she would have definitely let Evergreen handle the negotiations with hospitals.

“It’s not that we didn’t leave room for profit for the Franklin family; we just didn’t leave room profit for ourselves. If they can’t accept it, then so be it! Tell Simon that this is what I said, and no one can go against it. It doesn’t matter who tries to plead as well.”
Seeing Audrey’s firm tone, the other person didn’t say anything more and only responded, “Alright, I understand! You focus on your work. Rest assured, we’ll handle the rest.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up the phone, Audrey clutched onto her mobile phone and looked toward the dazzling lights of Mythravia in the distance. She then made a call to Lily.
“Mommy!” Lily’s cheerful voice came through, “Mommy, I’m playing with mud with Wandflower! Wandflower said that the small cup I made can be used to drink water after being fired. I also made. cups for mommy, Dallas, and daddy! I also drew all of you on them! Wandflower praised my drawing as very beautiful!”
A faint smile appeared on Audrey’s lips. “Okay, then you have a good time with Wandflower and Mr. Lambert Senior.”
“Don’t worry, Mommy! I will take good care of Mr. Lambert Senior and Wandflower!”
After hanging up the phone, Audrey called Dallas. The little one might still be upset and did not answer her calls, so she called Stephen, who told her that Dallas was fine, putting her mind at ease.
When Audrey’s emotions had calmed down enough, she returned from the balcony. There was no sign of Ryan in the living room.
She noticed the hangover medicine and car keys that Ryan had placed on the dining table. She thought for a moment before pouring a glass of warm water and taking out the hangover medicine to

place them on the coffee table. She pushed open the door and saw Ryan wrapped in a bath towel, coming out of the bathroom.
Audrey froze and quickly closed the door. She then bit her lip and blushed as if she was on fire. “I thought you were in the master bedroom.”
Last night, Ryan took Lily to sleep in the master bathroom. After Audrey fell asleep in the living room, she defaulted to staying in the guest room. Ryan probably wanted to leave the master bedroom to her, so he showered in the guest bedroom.
Ryan changed into casual clothes and came out, with his wet ink–black short hair still sticking messily to his forehead.
Ryan, without his glasses, appeared with much sharper features.
“You sleep in the master bedroom,” Ryan said.
“I’ve poured some water for you. Take the hangover medicine and rest early,” Audrey closed her laptop and said as she stood up, “I’m going to Sheysea City tomorrow. I’ll come back after handling things.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you! During this period, I will often go back to the Lambert’s old house to accompany Lily. Don’t worry too much.” Ryan’s gaze fell on the corner of Audrey’s lips, which had been bitten, “Wait a moment and sit down first.”
“Hmm?” Audrey was puzzled.
Ryan took out a medical kit from under the TV cabinet and pointed to the corner of Audrey’s lips. ” Here… it’s broken.”
Audrey winced when her finger lightly touched it.
Ryan pressed Audrey to sit down. He opened a bottle of distilled water and dampened a with it before wiping away the bloodstains.

The two were very close–so close that Audrey could see Ryan’s extraordinarily long eyelashes. Her breathing became irregular again, and her gaze shifted to the side.
