Hathaway and Barry entered the conference room with the participants. After sitting down in their place, Hathaway gained attention from all directions.

In a male-dominated project group, the existence of women was quite eye-catching. Especially, she was still so young, beautiful and fashionably dressed, so other men would definitely notice her.

Hathaway gave a polite and sweet smile to everyone who looked at her. However, her smile was particularly dazzling in Leon's eyes, who was sitting in the central position. It was not too much to use the word artful to describe her.

She was clearly a novice in the workplace, but she had to make herself seem to be a queen. Those who didn't know about her would think she was a very capable woman.

The meeting was officially started. Hathaway was always dignified and was looking at the file in front of her. She never glanced at Leon and she dared not do so. Because she was worried that if she couldn't do her part well, she would reveal some of her emotions. Besides, Hathaway also felt that Leon wouldn't want her to look at him. He also wanted to distance himself from her, didn't he?

Sometimes, things were always backfired. Hathaway Taylor made full preparations for this meeting and wanted to perform well, which couldn't be compared with a short message from Nick Jackson. He said, "Your sister woke up."

Nick called her directly at the beginning. After Hathaway hung up, he sent her a message.

In fact, Nick was not the kind of person who had no discretion. He naturally knew that she didn't answer the phone because it was inconvenient for her at this time. However, Nick also knew the importance of Ashley's waking to her, so he dared to do so.

At this time, it was just Hathaway's turn to speak on behalf of the Taylor Group. Davis Group's staff who presided over the meeting called Hathaway's name several times, but she didn't respond. She was looking down, staring at the mobile phone.

Barry broke out a sweat at his forehead and reminded her in a low voice, "Boss? Boss?"

After Barry called twice, Hathaway finally came to her senses. When she looked up, her beautiful eyes were full of tears. She choked with red eyes and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. I may have to excuse myself first because my sister woke up,"

With this, Hathaway got up and stumbled. She rushed out of the conference room recklessly, leaving all the people in the project team behind.

Barry was worried about her safety, but he also knew that he had to stay and deal with the aftermath. So, he could only grind his teeth to take over the affairs that originally belonged to Hathaway. And he had been watched by the appalling sight of Leon Davis throughout.

Chaucer took a taxi and went straight to the hospital. She then saw Ashley Taylor, who was very weak but had already woken up.

Hathaway cried for a long time in the taxi. No one could understand her ecstatic mood when she heard the news that Ashley Taylor woke up, because the doctor had announced that Ashley might become a vegetable.

"Ashley!" Hathaway held Ashley's pale and emaciated hand because of a month's lying in bed. She raised her lips and pretended to show a playful smile, "I know that God can't bear to take away a beautiful person like you."

Before entering the ward, Hathaway had suppressed all tears and negative energy and tried to show her optimism in the presence of Ashley, who escaped from death in a great disaster.

But Ashley shook her head sadly weakly. "You don't have to flaunt your superiority in the presence of me. Dr. Jackson has told me everything."

Hathaway, "..."

She turned to look at Nick next to her and asked him with her eyes, "Is it really appropriate for him to stimulate a patient who just woke up in this way?"
