"Aussie, where did you go?"
Osiris returned to the box and was immediately greeted by another friend, Jaden, who put his arm around his shoulder.
"Just went out for a walk."
"Are there any beautiful women?" Jaden blinked narrowly, earning a cold glance from Osiris.
"Hey, don't be so fierce. Women all like someone witty and humorous," Jaden pointed to his nose with a smiling face, "like me. If you keep wearing a stern face, be careful that no one will want you."
Osiris ignored him.
After the hustle and bustle, accompanied by beautiful women, everyone chatted casually. Edward and Jaden were laughing loudly, seemingly engrossed in their conversation. Osiris suppressed his previous wandering thoughts, looked down at his phone, then suddenly straightened his back and looked towards his brothers.
"I have a question for you all."
He suddenly spoke up, and everyone quieted down, looking over at him in unison.
"Do any of you know a reputable expert in treating leg injuries?"
"The leg specialist?" After exchanging glances, Edward suddenly realized.
"Are you asking for Amanda?"
Osiris didn't say anything, but his eyes confirmed it.
"Are you still with Amanda? Oh, never mind."
The other person was just about to express surprise when they were glared at by others.
It's like touching a sore spot.
Who doesn't know about the thing between Amanda and Osiris back in the day, now the two of them have finally made up, they should probably keep their distance as friends. But Osiris isn't angry. "Hmm, do they?"
His fingers were still on the phone screen, and his eyes glanced around at the brothers. The others also looked at each other, and some even took out their phones to make calls. After a few calls, everyone started talking all at once.
But there's almost no Osiris needs.
"Sorry, if you need me to find a public relations person or something, I can help without a second thought, but I really don't know this kind of expert. However, when my dad comes back, I'll ask for you. Don't worry too much." Edward also shook his head helplessly.
These brothers have been friends with Osiris for many years. Osiris has always been the one to help out. Today, he suddenly took the initiative to ask a question, but everyone is willing but unable to help. In fact, Osiris was just asking and didn't have too much hope.
After all, he has already searched for almost all the resources he can find. But most of them say that the chances of Amanda's leg healing are very low. He doesn't want to tell Amanda and make her worry for no reason.
Osiris unconsciously swiped the phone screen, feeling a bit worried.
"That Aussie, I'm not too sure about."
Jaden hesitated to speak after taking a few sips of wine.
He saw Osiris looking at him, and he touched the scattered hair on his temples. "I don't know if you've heard of him, but a friend of mine seems to have a good relationship with Professor Jason."
"Jason?" Osiris frowned, trying to remember.
"Are you talking about Jason Parry?" Edward suddenly slapped his thigh, looking excited.
Jaden took a glance at Osiris and nodded.
"It's him."
Edward turned and tapped Osiris on the shoulder, "If you really know Jason Parry, there might be hope for fixing the leg."
Osiris Rarely showing a bewildered expression.
"Jason Parry, I heard from my dad that you're a rising star in the medical field, and quite young too. Recently, he said you're leading and participating in a project called cell regeneration, which is expected to spark a whole new wave in medicine."
Edward If my father is involved in the medical industry and he says so, it's probably close to the truth.
Osiris was also intrigued and looked steadily at Jaden.
"The recent treatment effect for Amanda has not been good. If we can contact Jason Parry, there may be a chance for improvement."
Jaden suddenly became the focus and seemed quite uncomfortable, giving a dry laugh.
"I'll give it a try, but I can only promise to do my best, not guarantee anything. After all, I've only recently met this friend, so it's better not to have too high expectations for now."
...
The night is already late.
Elena quietly carried her shoes and stepped up the stairs. As her toes touched the cold marble surface, the spotlights above lit up from the foyer to the living room with a few clicks. A tall man was sitting with his legs apart, his elbows on his knees, and his folded hands touching his nose.
In the gray eyes, there was a look of embarrassment on Elena's face when she was caught red-handed.
"Gert," Elena twitched the corner of her mouth, "When did you come back?"
She lowered her hands holding the shoes and stood obediently at the stairway.
Gert suddenly stood up, his expression serious as he looked at Elena, a bit intimidating. He stared at Elena for a few seconds, then sighed. "Why did you go out without letting the bodyguard follow? Haven't I said that it's a very critical period recently, and we must be extra careful?" He gestured for the servant to place her shoes properly, then watched as Elena put on her slippers. Gert then disapprovingly tapped his sister's bare forehead.
Elena winced, meeting Gert's eyes and nervously shrinking her neck.
"So boring," she muttered under her breath.
"You're back?"
Maxim leaned against the handrail of the spiral staircase, looking at his still-angry brother, and when Elena looked up, he smiled and raised his chin. "Mark, you're so unfair!" Elena accused as soon as she saw Maxim, "We agreed you'd give me a signal in advance! You got me scolded." "Hey hey hey, you're totally a troublemaker, you know that?"
Gert has been Gerted, and Maxim is already regretting his quick mouth. "I shouldn't have come out to watch the fun," he thought gloomily. A few minutes later, in the brightly lit living room, Gert stood with his hands behind his back in front of two well-behaved guys sitting on the sofa.
"Why can't Elena go out alone? You tell me."
Maxim pouted and said, "Come on, I'm already 29 years old, and I still have to be lectured like a primary school student by my big brother."
Gert raised an eyebrow, and Maxim immediately gave Elena a look of 'good luck with that.'
"Because Elena received a 'gift' from a hater."
"That's right!" Gert rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
A week ago, someone sent a teddy bear with its head cut off to Elena.
And at that time, both brothers were not present. It was the housekeeper who told them afterwards. "Big brother, are you making a mountain out of a molehill? Hasn't That guy who sent the package already been arrested? He's just a crazy fan deceived by public opinion. And Eileen is not a child. She didn't tell us in the first place because she could handle this matter perfectly well on her own, right?"
"I know," Gert said gloomily. But he couldn't control himself whenever he thought of Elena being bullied in a place unknown to him. Elena could see Gert's frustration.
She is very clear why Gert reacted so strongly to such a small matter.
"Gert, the past is in the past, I'm back, everything is over, you should let go too. I've grown up, just like Mark said, I'm not the helpless little kid I used to be."
She stood up and embraced Gert around the waist.
The same warmth as in memory.
"You see, am I not still fine in front of you? If I really encounter something I can't solve, I will definitely tell you. Don't you believe me?" Elena blinked her eyes, with a naive and romantic expression, as if nothing had changed from three years ago.
For a while, Gert gently pushed her away. "This won't happen again," he glanced at the dejected Elena, "the door access can be lifted, but you can't stop the bodyguard from following you again." Elena nodded quickly.
"Oh my dear brother, I always listen to you."
Gert was pleased by this, and Elena returned to her own room.
As soon as she entered, Orly was already eagerly calling on the phone.
"Have you been caught?"
Orly's tense voice came through the receiver, and Elena could even imagine her wrinkled expression.
"Yeah," with the phone sandwiched between her shoulder and ear, Elena tugged down the zipper on the back of her dress, "but everything has been resolved satisfactorily."
"Ah? Gert, are you feeling relieved to go out?"
Elena responded, then casually threw her removed skirt into the laundry basket.
"Who am I, that I must agree?"
Orly quietly celebrated, "Congratulations to you, but I can understand why Gert would make such a request. When you were captured by that villain, Gert—"
"Alright, I don't want to talk about the past," Elena interrupted her. "Let's go out tomorrow too. I've noticed many places have changed from how I remember them since I came back, and I want to explore."
"Hey, Aussie."
Osiris just finished a video conference and returned to the office, only to see Jaden sitting on the guest sofa with a sullen expression.
Jaden popped a grape into his mouth, smacked his lips a few times, and greeted him with a smile.
Usually, they won't visit each other's company.
"What's up?"
Osiris still has work to do, so he asked without much enthusiasm.
He quickly sat back at the office desk, turned on the computer, and his deep brown eyes moved back and forth between two screens. Jaden stuffed another grape into his mouth, "This batch of Beauty Fingers tastes good. Have your secretary buy me a portion later." Osiris grunted without lifting his head.
Jaden had enough of the snacks, wiped his hands with a tissue, threw it into the trash can, and then leaned against Osiris's desk with his hands in his pockets.
Used to his nonchalant appearance, Osiris urged, "Hurry up and speak."
Jaden raised an eyebrow.
"You must reward me well this time."
Osiris looked up, "Good news?"
"Great news!" Jaden said proudly, "First of all, I am determined to get that piece of land in Barcelona this time."
"Let me hear it first, then I'll decide."
Osiris decisively gave up his work, leaned back in his chair, and waited for Jaden to share his good news.
"The matter of Jason Parry has been settled."
Jaden had just finished speaking when Osiris rushed to the table. As he realized he was being too impulsive, he paused for a second before regaining his composure. "What's the situation?" he asked.
"A friend of my friend wants to meet you first," Jaden said, glancing at Osiris and hastily adding, "Her friend said Jason Parry doesn't easily meet people. She needs to see you first before deciding whether to introduce you to Jason."
Such a response truly made Osiris feel insulted. Jaden also knew that saying this might upset Osiris. But this was the most he could do to help.
Just when Jaden thought Osiris would refuse due to his pride, Osiris clenched his fist.
"Have the time and place been discussed?"
Jaden sighed and then touched his nose, "They have, but the place is a bit..."
He swallowed hard and said, "It's not within your range of preferences."
