?Chapter 1358: 643 sheet music_1 Chapter 1358: 643 sheet music_1 Aubree received a thank-you call from Joshua Drake and his wife while on the way back to the Hart residence.
They had carefully chosen this time, neither too early nor too late, right at bedtime, people were usually more relaxed during this time.
The girl’s distant voice came through the phone, making one feel cordial and yet awe at the same time.
Grace Warner asked cautiously, “Ms.
Aubree, you’re highly knowledgeable and talented.
I wonder if you could give our child a name?”
There was a brief silence on the phone, “She was born at dawn, right when the morning sun was rising, so why not name her Brielle?
It signifies rebirth and represents hope.”
Grace Warner replied happily, “That’s a great name.
...
On behalf of our Brielle, I thank you, Ms.
Aubree.”
After hanging up, Grace Warner delightfully stroked her daughter’s tender cheeks, “Brielle, we’ve got your name now, do you like it?”
Joshua Drake sat by the hospital bed, peeling an apple and furrowing his eyebrows as if deep in thought about something.
Grace Warner shot him a glance, “What, you have a problem with this name?”
“Of course not.The name given by Ms.
Aubree must be the best ever.
It’s just that I recalled a bizarre incident.”
“Do you know?
When you were in the delivery room, I saw Ms.
Aubree.
She said something to me, which I then ignored due to my worry about you, but thinking back…”
Curiously, Grace Warner asked, “What is it?”
“She said to me… the mother and daughter are safe…”
The couple had never had the unborn child’s sex determined.
They would equally treasure their baby, whether a boy or a girl.
Now thinking back about Aubree’s demeanor when she spoke, she seemed so calm and composed, as if she knew all along that Grace Warner was carrying a female fetus.
For a moment, both of them were stunned.
After a while, Grace Warner murmured, “Ms.
Aubree is truly a master…”
——
On her way to the hospital, Aubree learned that Mr.
Hart’s condition had become critical, he had collapsed from a brain stroke.
The timely rescue had saved his life, but it had done great damage to his vitality.
Eyeballing the glass door of the intensive care unit, Aubree asked coldly, “What exactly happened?”
She was quite aware of Mr.
Hart’s health.
Last year, she saved him from a brain hemorrhage on the underground metro, it was more dangerous than now.
With proper care and treatment, there should have been no issue for him to live in his retirement age.
The only thing was he shouldn’t be excessively stimulated.
Nana Breezent couldn’t help but curse, “It’s all because of that Xenia Groove.
She’s a jinx!
Ever since she came to the Hart residence, we haven’t had a single peaceful day, she damned nearly drove Mr.
Hart to the hospital.”
Digby Hart had gone out of town for business, and upon receiving the news, he was already on his way back.
Mentioning her stepdaughter, Nana Breezent always felt indignant, “Now I realize how much pressure you faced in the Groove household.”
After Xenia Groove moved into the Hart residence, she was well-behaved and sensible at first, but her true colors didn’t take long to show.
When Nana Breezent and Mr.
Hart were away, she would swear at and slap the housemaids, even threatening to fire one.
A housemaid named Verine was very respectful toward Nana Breezent, their future mistress, and had won Nana Breezent’s favor.
Nana wouldn’t let Verine be kicked out of the Harts by Xenia Groove, so she spoke few words on her behalf.
Who would have thought that Xenia Groove would get so angry?
Even her sarcastic remarks still made Nana Breezent feel bitter.
“This is my home, my biological father and grandfather’s home, what gives an outsider the right to boss people around?
If you know what’s good for you, you better get lost.”
Mr.
Hart overheard this and slapped Xenia Groove, admonishing her to mind her language.
A daughter of the Hart family should never be so ill-mannered.
As soon as she heard the term “manners”, Xenia Groove became outraged again.
Almost instinctively, she pushed Mr.
Hart, landing him in the hospital.
“I still can’t believe it.
How can a teenage girl be so malicious and domineering?
How could she be Digby Hart’s daughter?”
Nana Breezent was baffled.
The Hart family genes were not that bad.
Verine Hayes was not an evil person.
Xenia Grove grew up in luxury in the Grove family.
Madam Grove doted on her.
How could their kid have such traits?
As the proverb says, “A good plant can bear a bad sprout”, it’s truly apt here.
You can say that this kid had problems right from her core.
Nana Breezent rolled up her sleeves as she spoke, “I don’t believe it, I can’t handle a brat like her.”
Aubree decided not to interfere in the family affairs of the Hart family, and stayed at the hospital to look after Mr.
Hart instead.
Nana Breezent stormed back to the Hart residence followed by four stalwart men.
These were her bodyguards that she had personally brought from Lostswa.
They were usually idle, but now they had found a battleground.
