Chapter 20
“T-This flower...” Zachary held the Skyflower in his trembling hands and gazed at Alexander fearfully, gulping.
What a sight. The man before him had managed to acquire Serandsi’s national flower!
What type of person was he?
Alexander cradled Olivia and gently waved at Zachary, saying, “Quickly, let’s not waste time and start the surgery immediately.” Time was ticking, and they had to act swiftly.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
With an order from Alexander, Zachary dared not hesitate. He promptly led the specialists into the surgical room to provide full treatment for Amber.
They cleaned the throat wound, repaired the damaged nerves, and administered the Skyflower extract. The entire process took about an hour, and the outcome was just as expected. “A-Alex... Olivia...”
In the VIP intensive care room, Amber's once-pale face bore a faint blush. Lying on the hospital bed, she looked at the father— daughter by her side. She could not help but weep, overwhelmed with joy.
It had been five years since that fateful day when Amber risked her life to save Alexander from a car accident, and she lost her sweet voice. It had turned hoarse, ultimately silencing her altogether and rendering her unable to speak.
At last, she could talk to her husband and daughter like a normal person. She could finally speak to release the emotions that had long been trapped within her.
“Alex, Olivia...” Amber choked on her emotions. Tears streamed down her face as she repeatedly called out their names. It was as though this was the most important part of her life.
“Mommy, you can finally speak! | can hear your voice, Mommy!” Olivia cried out, throwing herself into Amber’s embrace. Clinging to her mother, Olivia sobbed, her small body trembling as she wiped away her tears.
Olivia was overwhelmed with happiness. Finally, Amber could speak as Alexander brought the flower that healed her! 1/4
“Amber, Olivia...” Alexander watched this mother-daughter duo with deep and unwavering affection.
His beloved wife and daughter were the two people he was closest to in this world.
They deserved all the beauty and goodness the world had to offer, and he was determined to take them to the highest peaks, to stand atop the world, commanding admiration and infinite glory.
Alexander sat beside Amber’s hospital bed. He gazed at her fondly and said, You've just had surgery. Even though your voice has been restored, you still need rest. Try not to speak too much for the time being.”
Amber nodded, her eyes welling up with tears. It was impossible to express her feelings. It was the joy of regaining something thought forever lost, a miracle beyond imagination.
With Olivia in her arms, Amber gradually sat up from the bed, her teary eyes filled with immense hope. “I’m not tired. My throat has just recovered, and I—I want to go home. | want to go back and let my parents hear my voice. | want to make them happy and share my joy with them!”
Alexander extended his arm and firmly pulled Olivia into his embrace. His strong, steady arm supported Amber’s delicate figure. “Let's go home, then!” Meanwhile, in their apartment in Belmont Hills.
Patrick entered the house and instantly drank nearly all of the cold water prepared in a glass in one go, unable to hide the delight on his face.
Finally, it was done! For the past six months, he and Susanne fully dedicated themselves to Chesire Group. Despite being constantly suppressed by Zoe and tasked with the most demanding work, there was no doubt about his business insight, having served as the company’s General Manager for over a decade.
Together with Susanne, they tirelessly planned, strategized, researched, and even socialized with clients.
Their efforts finally rewarded them immensely. After all, they secured the cooperation project with Ol‘ Mare’s Severn Group and would sign the contract in three days!
“As long as we sign the contract, it'll be a monumental achievement that Dad can see!” Susanne’s face was flushed with excitement, and she was on the brink of

Severn Group was the cornerstone company under the Severn family, an elite family in Ol’ Mare. Without Patrick and Suzanne’s tireless efforts, it would have been nearly impossible for a second-tier family like Chesire to establish cooperation with them.
It was no exaggeration to say that signing this contract would significantly elevate the Chesire family’s opportunities, potentially pushing them into the ranks of Ol' Mare’s elite families.
“With this achievement, we'll have a chance to return to the family!” Patrick was thrilled, his heart burning with excitement.
There were two things worth celebrating for the day. The first was Donovan’s 70th birthday, and the second was the Severn Group’s general manager personally agreeing to cooperate with them.
It was definitely a joyous day!
As for Alexander’s previous clash with Donovan, it hardly seemed worth mentioning in the face of these two great news.
“Patrick, call Dad quickly,” Susanne urged, unable to contain her joy. “Share this good news with him! With such a great achievement, he'll surely take back his orders and allow us back into the Chesire family.”
Patrick nodded and quickly pulled out his phone, trembling with excitement.
At that moment...
Buzz! The phone in his hand suddenly vibrated, and the screen automatically lit up.
It was Zoe, calling them.
“Zoe?” Patrick was shocked, and his initial excitement disappeared when Zoe’s name appeared on the phone screen. After all, Zoe had been the primary instigator in their expulsion from the Chesire family five years ago.
Arrogant, manipulative, and downright malicious, Zoe resorted to every means to humiliate them during her tenure as the assistant general manager of Chesire Group. She had cut their basic salaries, denied them their rightful commissions, and withheld their due benefits.
“Yes, Miss Chesire?” Patrick greeted cautiously. He could not afford to ignore the call, nor could he bring himself to address her name.

Zoe was in her office at Chesire Group, grabbing her phone and slamming two personnel files onto her desk, her face filled with ruthless determination as she shouted, “Patrick, you and Susanne have been fired from the company! We merely expelled you from the Chesire family, but we still gave you jobs to prevent you from starving. It seems that you’ve mistaken our kindness for weakness!”
Then, she continued, “Do you know what Alexander did at Grandpa’s birthday celebration? He gave Grandpa a casket!”
