Ash’s indignant look brought a faint smile to Calvert, and his mood improved a lot. With both hands on the railing, he said, “You bought this apartment with the best price.” 

“Why do you know that? Why do you think so?” Ash narrowed her eyes. “Did you investigate me?” 

Calvert explained, “You said you had bought this apartment a few years ago. This is an old neighborhood, but it is well- maintained. From here, you can see the river and have a good view. House prices in this neighborhood have kept rising in recent years, and the average price is around three hundred thousand dollars per square feet.” 

I see. In short, he looks down upon me. He thinks that I can’t afford such an apartment, given the high house prices recently, Ash thought. 

She rolled her eyes and said, “Whatever, I bought this apartment with the money I earned.” 

I know, so you are awesome,” Calvert was generous with praise. 

Ash was much more capable than many of her peers in the upper circle since she could afford an apartment on her own. This unexpected praise took Ash by surprise and embarrassed her because it turned out she had misunderstood Calvert. After a dry cough, Ash said, “I know that, I don’t need you to remind me of that, and I am not asking for your opinion.” “Are you sure that Sofia doesn’t need to go to hospital? She looks bad,” Calvert inquired. That was his first impression of Sofia after a few days of separation. 

Ash shook her head and gripped the railing. “It is pointless for her to go to hospital. She doesn’t have much time left.” 

In the past few nights, Ash had heard Sofia cough irrepressibly and saw her cover her mouth for fear that her coughs would alert Ash. 

Ash understood Sofia, so she didn’t disturb Sofia. Every day, she massaged Sofia, reminded Sofia to take the pills on time, and relieved Sofia’s pain as much as she could. 

“Don’t show special attention to her,” Ash advised Calvert. She might cure Sofia if she went back to half a year ago in time. 

Now, there was nothing she could do because Sofia’s case was hopeless. 

Red–eyed, she gave a bitter smile. “Well, let’s go inside. Thanks for bringing the doctor over. Grandma is happy.” 

Holding his kit, Riley followed Calvert out of the building. “Calvert, who is that woman? Is she your fiancee?” 

Kiley had gotten the news from Dorothy, and it was his first meeting with Ash. 

“Yes, Calvert responded casually, and his expression was a bit cold for some unknown reason. 

Has she been abroad?” Kiley felt that he had seen Ash, but he couldn’t remember when or where. 

Calvert fell silent because he didn’t have the answer. He knew little about Ash, and most of her information came from others. 

Kiley pondered, but to no avail. During his stay abroad, he had seen so many people that Ash might resemble one of them “How is Vanessa? It has been quite a while since my last meeting with her.” 

“Why don’t you go ask her yourself if you care so much? Calvert asked.

Riley’s expression was tinged with a bit of sadness. “Even if I do, she may ignore me. I just learned far w in the same company as her?” 

They’re both at Funtime Games, the company of the Turner family. I persuaded Fint to come back, Calbers out incesty “Can’t you get over Vanessa?” 

Riley smiled. “Can’t I? I have the right to love whoever I want to. I lost contact with her some time age solat met asen 

her.” 

“As her bestie, how could you lose contact with her?” Calvert asked, and his wording bestie, enbarassed Riley. 

Riley seriously corrected Calvert. “She and I are friends, and I am not her bestie. Don’t cause trouble for fes 

Riley had gotten acquainted with Vanessa in college, later than Finn did. They hit it off and quidity became good firefu However, that was all. 

“Trouble? If so, why don’t you get over her? Riley, you know how much she loves Finn Cabert said. 

Calvert didn’t want to get involved in the love triangle, but he felt it necessary to give his friendly render as the ma friend of the three people. 

Riley was clear of Vanessa’s feelings toward Finn. Without Emma’s death, Vanessa and Find gir trave guren named a long time ago. 

Never had Riley expected more than friendship from Vanessa. He felt contented as long as he could may by Wanessa asa friend. 

“It seems Finn is more important to you than me,” Riley teased. “By the way, you two have been friends for quite a long time.” 

He had wondered whether his love would have had a different ending if he had gotten acquaimed with Vanessa sonder di Finn. 

Now, he understood that the lot was cast at length, and he was destined to be the supporting role in Vanessa’s life 

Calvert remained silent for quite a while before he said, “Riley, move on. You might be a great success of you didn’t come back for Vanessa.” 

A few years ago, Riley had given up his promising career abroad on the news that Vanessa was safering from depraun Well, gold always shone, but Riley gave up a brighter future. 

‘Calvert, never have I regretted my choice. I felt lost though I did achieve something abroad. Back at home. I base friends and my family around me. I feel great now. My choice had nothing to do with Vanessa
