My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon (Audrey)

"Mrs. Harper, although you're no longer in danger, you'd better stay in the hospital for a few more days and observe. You don't have to worry about the hospitalization expenses..." It was Grant's voice. "Mr. Fletcher, you've misunderstood me. I'm not worried about the hospitalization fees. It's just that my body has already recovered a lot. There's no need to continue wasting resources in the hospital." Jessica's ward door was ajar. As soon as Audrey reached the door, she heard Jessica's voice coming from inside.

Her voice sounded a little crisper than when she was first hospitalized. 'She should be recovering well,' Audrey thought.

Audrey knocked on the door and pushed it open.

Jessica was still talking to Grant, but her eyes lit up when she saw Audrey enter.

She said, "Audrey, why brings you here?"

Seeing her smile, Audrey's tense nerves also relaxed. She smiled and said, "I'm here to see you. Why are you in such a hurry to be discharged? It's safer to stay in the hospital for two more days." "No, I feel much better now. I can take care of the rest at home," Jessica said firmly.

"We didn't tell your brother when we came to see a doctor this time. He went to another city to deliver goods last week. He'll be back today. I don't want him to know that I'm hospitalized. Otherwise, he'll blame himself," said Jessica. Since she had almost recovered, she would not let her son know, lest he feel guilty.

Audrey could understand her thoughts, but she was still a little worried. She asked Grant, "Mr. Fletcher, is my mother's current condition suitable for discharge?"noveldrama

Jessica felt a lump in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes when she heard Audrey call her "Mother" in front of the hospital director.

Grant said dutifully, "Mrs. Harper's recovery is not bad. She can rest at home, but remember to recuperate and take the medicine." Hearing this, Audrey finally felt relieved.

She told Jessica, "Since you don't want to stay in the hospital, you can go home and recuperate. I happened to drive here. I can send you back." Upon hearing this, Jessica felt gratified, and her heart ached a little for Audrey. "You've been working all day. Yet you rushed over. Isn't it too tiring?" Audrey smiled at her. "No, I'm not that tired from work."

Jessica kept looking at Audrey. She held her hand and rubbed it gently. A hint of guilt flashed across her eyes.

She said softly, "Audrey, we've all seen the video on the trending topics in the headlines. We've let you down..."

At the mention of this, Jessica felt a little guilty. She blamed herself for not teaching Eliza well all these years, causing her to hurt Audrey so much.

Audrey gently patted Jessica's hand and comforted her. "She did something wrong herself. You don't have to feel sorry for that."

Seeing how sensible Audrey was, Jessica's heart ached for her even more.

She said, "Audrey. There's another reason why I want to be discharged hastily."

Audrey guessed that this reason might be about her. She gestured patiently and said, "What is that?"

Jessica said solemnly, "Eliza returned to the Rhodes family. Their family can't possibly tolerate you now. If you're willing, you can come home with us anytime." Audrey was a little touched.

She originally thought that her small home with Alistair would be her new home in the future, but Alistair lied to her.

Just as she felt she had nowhere to go, the Harper family people had silently considered everything for her.

Jessica felt uncertain when she saw Audrey remain silent after a long time. Her voice became gentler. "Although this family is not as rich and luxurious as the Rhodes family, we are all your closest family members. We will never hurt you. Audrey, are you willing?" Audrey's eyes reddened and she choked up. "Yes, I'm willing."

Money was not within her consideration to begin with. She felt honored to return to a loving family like the Harper family.

"Good girl." Jessica laughed heartily. When she was in a good mood, her complexion became a little rosier as she said happily, "Then let's go home together today. You haven't eaten my cooking yet. I'll cook personally. Let's have a good meal as a family." Miles, who had been eavesdropping for a long time, also said happily, "Audrey, you're in luck. Mom doesn't cook easily."

Although Peter was not good at expressing himself, Audrey could tell he was happy, too. He started humming as he packed Jessica's things.

When they left the hospital, Peter and Miles took all the bags and did not let Audrey carry them.

Audrey was in charge of supporting Jessica.

"Wait here for a second. I'll drive over." Downstairs, Audrey went to get the car.

She had driven a new car over today, so the spacious SUV was just right for storing luggage and allowing Jessica to sit more comfortably.

Seeing her new car, the three members of the Harper family were shocked.

Although they were poor and did not know much about cars, they could tell this car was expensive.

They were even more convinced that Audrey was forced to marry a rich old man.

For a moment, the Harper family people's hearts ached for Audrey.

They did not say anything on the surface, but they were all thinking about how to help her get a divorce.

The Harper family lived in the suburbs of a county below Riverdale. It would take about two hours to drive there.

After they reached the county, they still had to pass through a muddy road. They couldn't drive the car in, so they could only stop at the intersection and walk home.

Audrey and the Harper family people got out of the car. She helped Jessica forward.

However, as soon as they entered the Harper family's courtyard, they saw a mean-looking old lady cursing viciously from afar...
