Chapter 420
Chapter 420 She was a very important person in his life!
Audrey drove to the city hospital.
When Audrey arrived at the hospital and took the elevator to the ward, she felt a slight nervousness in her heart. After he confessed to her last night, she knew that Anika was the most important person in his life.
He hated his mother and they had no feelings for each other. When Audrey first met his mother, she wasn’t as nervous as she is now.
Suddenly, | began to understand why he was so nervous when he went to Cloud City to meet her grandmother.
The elevator stopped at the sixth floor of the VIP ward. After taking a deep breath, Audrey walked out carrying a thermos box. Walking through a long corridor, Audrey turned a corner and found Room 602.
Standing at the doorway, | glanced inside through the glass window.
Atall and stern figure leaned against the sofa, with a large hand supporting the forehead, as if asleep.
Lying on the sickbed was a slender figure, facing away from the door. Audrey couldn’t make out the woman's appearance. Audrey raised her little hand and gently knocked on the door.
Sterling, who was leaning on the sofa for a nap, suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the door of the hospital room. In a moment, a hint of surprise flashed through his dark eyes when he saw Audrey.
A few steps later, he reached her.
“Audra?”
He probably didn’t sleep well last night, with bloodshot eyes and a faint stubble on his chin, the handsome face showed an undeniable fatigue that couldn’t be concealed.
Audrey raised the thermos in her hand and smiled gracefully, saying, “I came to see Anika.” Sterling took the thermos and his long, slender hand held Audrey’s hand, pulling her into the ward. “Come in quickly, let me introduce you to each other.”
Audrey followed Sterling into the ward.
Upon hearing a noise, Anika woke up.
She slowly turned around and looked at Audrey and Sterling.
Audrey saw Anika’s appearance clearly for the first time. Her long hair was slightly messy, falling on her shoulders. She had a small face and fair skin, making the bruises on her face even more noticeable. Her features were delicate and beautiful, with a pair of warm and calm eyes. Although she was good-looking, she lacked vitality.
Sterling held Audrey’s hand and met Anika’s gaze, “Anika, this is my girlfriend, Audrey.” Unlike Sterling’s indifference, Anika looked at Audrey and her lips. curled up slightly, “Hello.” Chapter 420 She was a very important person in his life!
Anika’s smile was light and faint, and Audrey could tell that she wasn’t intentionally being distant, but rather her temperament naturally leaned towards this, with a hint of aloofness.
Thinking about what Sterling said last night, she must have been very unhappy in her marriage. The hope for life has been extinguished, and she has lost all her radiance. How could she possibly be enthusiastic towards others?
Seeing that Anika was willing to greet Audrey, Sterling breathed a sigh of relief.
“Anika, Audra made breakfast, would you like to get up and have some?”
Anika paused for a moment and then nodded, “Thank you, Ms. Watson.”
“Anika, you’re welcome. | didn’t know what you like to eat, so | made something random. | hope you won’t mind.” Anika, “Thank you for your help.”
Sterling opened the thermos and saw chicken soup and bone porridge inside. He turned around and glanced at Audrey. His bony hand gently rubbed her head and he said, “You woke up very early this morning, didn’t you?”
Audrey pulled his hand away and whispered, “Don’t mess up my hairstyle.”
“Thank you for your hard work, but Anika doesn’t eat meat. She is a vegetarian.”
Upon hearing Sterling’s words, Audrey was momentarily stunned.
“Wait, I'll have Deon bring some food over. You cook, and I'll eat.”

Audrey looked into Sterling's bottomless black eyes, and her heart inexplicably tightened a little.
The long and delicate feathers of the eyelashes trembled slightly, and whispered, “I’m sorry, | didn’t know Anika doesn’t eat meat.”
Anika heard Audrey’s words, and her lips curved into a gentle arc, “It’s my fault, | apologize for the trouble.” Anika didn’t talk much. After Audrey had a brief conversation with her, she left the hospital room.
Sterling chased after him, carrying a thermos.
He pulled her to the garden downstairs, sat on the bench, and ate everything she had brought.
Audrey naturally saw through his thoughts; he was afraid that she would get angry.
She took out a tissue and wiped the corner of his lips. “In your heart, am | just a stingy woman?”
Sterling held Audrey’s hand and interlocked their fingers, saying, “The more stingy you are, the more it shows that you care about me.”
Audrey rested her small face on his broad shoulder and asked her question, “Why is Anika so distant towards you?” “It could be related to that woman.”
Audrey lifted her head and looked at Sterling in astonishment, “What did she do to her?”
“Deon went abroad to investigate, and it is still unclear now.”
Audrey nodded thoughtfully.

Three days later. Deon returned to his home country and reported the things he had investigated to Sterling.
At this moment, Sterling stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office. From the eighty—eighth floor of the high-rise building, he could overlook a large part of Seffolk, with all its hustle and bustle.
Deon respectfully said, “I found a close friend of Ms. Kelley from back then, and according to her, there were some troubles in Ms. Kelley’s family before she got married. Her grandmother fell seriously ill and couldn't be admitted to a hospital, her sister almost got expelled from school, and, moreover, the man she married was a homosexual.”
“Marrying Ms. Kelley was to conceal his orientation and gain access to more family wealth. However, little did he know that the family went bankrupt in the first half of last year, and his beloved left him. The various setbacks made him become violent.”
Sterling furrowed his slender eyebrows, his face darkening slightly. In a low, hoarse, and icy voice, he asked, “Was it that woman who forced her into marriage?”
“Yes.” Sterling clenched his fist and forcefully smashed it against the French window. “Isn’t she just relying on the Ryan family for support?” Sterling
narrowed his cold and sharp eyes, and said in a cold voice, “The Ryan family wants to take over the D20 project, right? Since that’s the case, I'll lend them a hand!”
Deon instantly understood Sterling’s thoughts. If the Ryan family had
really secured the D20 project, it would have been a significant loss.
Sterling went to the hospital in the afternoon.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Anika leaned against the headboard, the bruises on her face gradually fading away, restoring her original appearance. She heard footsteps but didn’t look up, her eyes appearing empty and lifeless.
Sterling walked to the edge of the bed and looked at her with narrowed, deep-set eyes. “That man has already signed the divorce agreement, he won't come to bother you anymore.”
Sterling placed the divorce agreement in front of Anika.
Seeing the divorce agreement, Anika’s eyelashes trembled. She lifted her head and looked at Sterling, “I told you, my affairs, you don’t need to interfere anymore.”
“Back then, you got married because you were forced by Gianna, right?” Sterling’s dark eyes were heavy, as if they were hiding a storm. “She used to have complete control and interfere in my affairs, but now, | won't let her touch anyone around me anymore!”
Upon hearing Sterling’s words, Anika’s emotions seemed to instantly crumble. She covered her face with both hands, tears streaming down like rain.
