Chapter 126 Eating Candy Will Make You Sweet Hugo noticed Ronald's serious look and said, "This manufacturer's been super on top of their deliveries lately. They haven't missed a single one, even after Mr. Leon Cooper's accident." Ronald frowned, puzzled by the manufacturer's name, "Jade to Gold." It seemed like it had shidden meaning.
Ronald decided to play it safe and told Hugo, "When you get a chance, check out the warehouse. Pay extra attention to the stuff from this manufacturer." "Got it, Mr. Cooper," Hugo replied, not asking any questions and just doing what Ronald said.
Over the next few days, Ronald stayed at the company and received several resignation letters from long-temployees.
They all said they were offered big salaries to join another company, the sone where the old senior management had gone.
At first, they were worried Ronald wouldn't accept their resignations, so they started pleading about their families and financial needs.
Ronald found their excuses laughable. Even though he hadn't been involved in the company's affairs for a while, he knew Leon had always treated the employees well, with year-end bonuses never less than $300,000.
Ronald understood they wanted to leave because they believed the rumors that Leon might never wake up. They thought it was better to cut their losses and find a better job.
Ronald didn't make things difficult; he signed the resignation letters without asking any questions. Within a day, Ronald noticed that there weren't many long-temployees left in the company.

An hour ago, the doctor had done a full-body check-up on Leon and told Tiffany that Leon's body was recovering quickly, though there were no signs of him waking up. As Tiffany walked back with the report, she passed another doctor's office and saw a familiar figure coming out. They made eye contact, and Tiffany recognized him.
He stood in front of Tiffany, pretending to be surprised, and greeted her.
"Tiffany, I didn't expect to see you here again," Ulysses said with a smile.
Tiffany glanced at his leg, the prosthetic limb hidden in his long pants. If she didn't know Ulysses was disabled, he would have looked like any other person walking normally.
"Are you here to see a doctor too?" Tiffany asked, puzzled.
Ulysses nodded and then looked down, his expression turning sad. "Tiffany, do you mind that I'm disabled?" "Of course not," Tiffany replied, treating him like a younger brother and patting his shoulder with a smile. However, he looked particularly thin, as if suffering from long-term malnutrition.
Seeing Ulysses always made Tiffany feel a bit more compassionate, maybe because her daughter Flora had once had autism. Tiffany tended to pay more attention to those with physical or mental challenges.
"Didn't your family cwith you?" Tiffany asked, remembering the tshe saw Ulysses fall in the lobby. Ulysses shook his head, his eyes dim. "My dad passed away, and my mom remarried. She had another son, so they don't really care about me, especially since I'm disabled." Ulysses spoke calmly about his past, as if it no longer mattered to him.
Tiffany felt a pang of sympathy for him. She took a piece of candy from her pocket and placed it in Ulysses' hand. "My daughter always says that no matter how tough things get, a piece of candy can make life sweeter. I hope it works for you too, Ulysses," she said with a warm smile before heading towards the nearby elevator. Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free.

As he looked up, the elevator doors closed.
"Tiffany, if only you and Leon had nothing to do with each other..." Ulysses' expression darkened, his hand clenching the candy as he quickly left the hospital.
At 6 PM, Tiffany ended the call after speaking with the police station. The officer told her that Bronte wanted to see her one last tbefore being moved to prison.
After Flora's kidnapping, Bronte was sentenced to three years in prison.
Tiffany was hesitant, unsure if she should go to the police station to see Bronte.
She looked at Leon, thinking about the mysterious person who wanted to harm him. With Leon in a coma, the mysterious person hadn't made a move, but she worried they might target her three children next.
If she could get sinformation from Bronte, she might be able to prevent future incidents.
"Sam, you stay here with Barry and Flora to look after Daddy. If anything happens, press this button, and a nurse will come," Tiffany instructed Sam, pointing to the button by the bed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSam nodded in agreement, grasping Barry and Flora's hands. "Don't worry, Mommy. I'll look after them all. You just focus on what you need to do," he said with assurance.
Tiffany smiled, ruffling Sam's hair. She felt reassured leaving her children there, knowing the special care unit was heavily guarded by Leon's security team, allowing no strangers near.
As Tiffany left the hospital and was about to hail a cab, she suddenly felt dizzy and started to fall backward. At the crucial moment, a pair of hands caught her arms, and a concerned voice scolded her gently.

She quickly pulled her arm back and thanked him.
"Thank you, Ralph."
"No need to be so formal. I know your heart belongs to Leon, and I don't want to force you. But since you said we could be friends, isn't it okay for friends to care about each other?" Ralph said, his expression a mix of helplessness and genuine concern.
Tiffany was surprised by Ralph's words. She had thought that aften their last conversation, he would keep his distance or avoid her altogether. Seeing Tiffany remain silent, Ralph asked, "Where are you headed?" "The police station." "Lettake you," Ralph offered, not giving Tiffany a chance to refuse as he led her to his car.
The ride to the police station was silent. Tiffany, having rejected Ralph, didn't know how to face him and kept her head down.
When they arrived, Tiffany quickly got out of the car. As the window rolled down, she wanted to tell Ralph to go back, feeling this matter didn't concern him. Before she could speak, Ralph interrupted, "I'll wait here for you, Tiffany." With Ralph's insistence, Tiffany nodded slightly and replied, "Okay, I'll be quick." Tiffany then walked into the police station alone, determined to find out more about the mysterious person from Bronte.
