Chapter 726:
“Did the doctor say you could be discharged?” Austin asked.
Monica replied, “Yes, as long as I return for daily check-ups p>
Austin nodded and said, “Alright, we’ll take you with us then p>
Monica was ecstatic. This was perfect—she had been planning to get closer to Austin for so long, and now her efforts were finally paying off. She was thrilled at the thought of sharing the same house with Austin. She was confident that, in time, he would come to notice her qualities and eventually fall in love with her.
Monica was determined not to let Yelena come between her and Austin. Before long, they arrived at Austin’s new house.
It was Monica’s first time visiting. She had assumed that Austin was only working temporarily in Eighfast and must have been living in a hotel or rental apartment. She never expected him to actually purchase such a beautifully decorated house. It was clear he had put a great deal of effort into making it his own.
Monica surveyed the surroundings from her wheelchair, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction. She could already picture herself as the lady of the house, instructing the servants to handle everything while she carefully prepared coffee for Austin. They would sit together in the yard, enjoying the peaceful view of the snow, and, in her mind, share a kiss…
The fantasy was so vivid and enchanting that Monica couldn’t help but smile. She even came close to bursting into laughter, caught up in the joy of her daydream.
“Monica, would you like a drink? Tea? Coffee? Or perhaps juice?” Maggie’s voice gently interrupted, bringing Monica back to reality.
Monica glanced at Maggie, offering an awkward smile. “I’m not feeling too well, so I don’t really want anything like that. I’ll just have some water p>
Monica was particularly conscious of her figure and typically avoided eating anything before bed. Drinking sugary juice at that time was completely off-limits for her. Additionally, she made sure to avoid drinking too much water before bed, as it often led to swelling the following morning.

“Alright,” Maggie replied.
Maggie had the servants prepare a room for Monica on the first floor. Given that her leg was still injured and not fully healed, it would be inconvenient for her to climb up and down the stairs. For now, the ground floor was the most practical option.
Monica couldn’t help but feel a twinge of dissatisfaction with Maggie’s arrangement. She had hoped to stay closer to Austin, to be near him, but this sleeping arrangement kept her at a distance.
However, Monica wasn’t in a rush. She knew that with enough time and effort, Austin would eventually notice her and the subtle ways she tried to get closer to him.
At that moment, the doorbell rang, cutting through Monica’s thoughts and jolting her back to reality once more. Monica wondered who could be visiting Austin at such a late hour.
Maggie suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “Could it be Yelena?” The servant opened the door to reveal the guest, and indeed, it was Yelena.
As soon as Monica laid eyes on Yelena, her expression darkened. She forced a smile and said, “Yelena, I didn’t expect you, a girl, to have the courage to be out so late. It’s not exactly safe, you know.” Monica feigned concern for Yelena, but Yelena paid no heed to her words. She clearly understood the hidden meaning behind Monica’s words.
Yelena calmly replied, “The neighborhood is very safe. What do I have to be afraid of?” She then handed Lena to Maggie, saying, “I heard you were missing Lena, so I brought her back p>
Maggie’s face immediately lit up at the sight of the kitten. She chuckled softly and said, “That’s incredible. Lena is actually willing to stay in your arms. Usually, no one else can get near her at home. If anyone gets too close, she hisses at them. She’s quite territorial p>
