The woman hurriedly introduced herself, saying, “I’m your mother’s friend, and she’s been staying with me in New Yorktely. I’m so sorry for not taking better care of your mother, which led to her identally injuring her leg. Please don’t hold it against me…”


    ire quickly responded, “Auntie, please don’t worry about it. My mother’s leg has been a chronic issue and has broken several times before. It’s quite fragile and prone to injury. I can’t me you for this. During her time with you, I’m sure she has caused you some trouble, and as her daughter, I want to thank you for all the care you’ve given her!”


    The woman nodded gently and reassured her, “I arranged for the best doctor to examine your mother’s leg. With some rest, she should regain her agility, and even her previous issues can improve. I also made sure to get her a smart folding electric wheelchair. Ites highly rmended by orthopedic surgeons for its flexibility. You can easily fold it and store it in the trunk when you take her out.”


    ire expressed her gratitude, saying, “Thank you so much, auntie. I know my mother has incurred quite a few medical expenses. Please share your number with me, and I’ll call you!”


    “No, no!” the woman replied with a smile, waving her hand. “Your mother and I are very close friends, so this is nothing. I had actually hoped she would stay in New York a bit longer, but I didn’t expect you to leave so soon. However, I have prepared all the medications she needs to take.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    She handed a handbag to ire, exining, “This contains all of your mother’s current oral medications, which will help speed up her recovery and minimizeplications. There are detailed instructions inside on how she should take them.”


    ire was pleasantly surprised by the woman’s thoughtfulness and said gratefully, “Thank you, auntie! You’ve really gone above and beyond!”


    The woman waved her hand dismissively and said with a smile, “Your mother and I have been through a lot together. There’s no need for thanks.”


    At that moment, she spotted Fei Kexin entering with a mask on, and they exchanged a brief nce. Turning to ine, she said, “ine, I still have some matters to attend to, so I can’t apany you through security. Please remember to let me know when you’re back in the U.S.”


    ine chuckled, “Don’t worry, Director!”


    Realizing her slip of the tongue, she suddenly felt flustered, unsure of how to recover. <fn66b0> Content originallyes from f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fn66b0>


    ire was also taken aback, confused by why her mother referred to the woman as “Director.”


    Quickly, the woman said, “Oh, don’t mind that title—it’s just our nickname from Bedford Hills Correctional Institution. It’s not something to be used outside; it brings bad luck.”


    ine snapped back to reality and quickly replied, “Yes, yes, of course!”


    Then she turned to ire and exined, “ire, your aunt is my best friend from Bedford Hills Correctional Institution. In our group, she’s the eldest sister, and we all call her Director!”


    ire didn’t dwell on it. Although she was curious about why the woman had been in prison, she was struck by her good looks and eloquence, so she dismissed any negative thoughts. Besides, she understood that discussing someone’s past in prison was inappropriate, so she decided to change the subject.


    With that, Director Chen took her leave. As soon as she departed, Fei Kexin approached them, waving. “ire, Master Wade!”


    ire, surprised, asked, “Fei Kexin, what brings you here?”


    Fei Kexin smiled and replied, “I came to see you off. I had nned to apany you to Huaxia for a few days, but there have been too many recent developments, so I just wanted toe and wish you well!”


    ine looked at Fei Kexin in astonishment and blurted out, “You… are you the eldestdy of the Fei family?!”
