Chapter 404:
Meanwhile, Helena had returned to work at the station, just as Alden had hoped. When she checked in with Meredith, her usually stern supervisor couldn’t help but crack a smile. However, to encourage Helena, she quickly assumed a serious tone and stated, “It’s not enough just for you to be back. Your heart has to be in your work as well! If you’re still distracted by your husband’s health during the news broadcasts, one slip-up could cost you your anchor position p>
Helena nodded eagerly, assuring her she would stay focused.
That day’s news featured a special report on Star Wish Investments. The station had already decided on the direction of the piece, but Helena was the one who wrote all the content. She carefully outlined the recent troubles Star Wish Investments had endured—from Alden, the company’s leader, being involved in a car crash, to Dominick’s mishap at a Star Wish mall, and finally to the company’s vice president ending up in jail.
Helena didn’t shy away from the bad news. However, after covering these incidents, she made sure to highlight Alden’s strong leadership in managing the crises. After Dominick’s accident, Alden ensured the Lloyd family received fair compensation. He went on to create a foundation dedicated to public safety, aiming to help those injured in public areas.
Regarding Eleanino, Alden showed no favor. Instead, he held her responsible in a way that satisfied public opinion.
After narrating all these events, Helena gave an update on Alden’s situation. She said, “Now, after weathering a storm of negative press, Star Wish Investments is back on track and entering a new phase of rapid growth. As its CEO, Mr. Alden Wilson is in Corland, expanding into new markets and working to bring more quality investments to Cheson. Let’s look forward to his return and to Star Wish Investments reaching new milestones p>
During the broadcast, Helena remained calm and collected. She never showed any sign of personal feelings or emotions.
Meredith kept a close eye on her the whole time. When she saw Helena’s steady performance, she finally let out a deep sigh of relief. The usually serious supervisor was alone. At last, she allowed herself to smile, feeling satisfied with her work.
Alden and Helena stayed in contact, but Alden didn’t want to cause Helena any concern, and Helena didn’t want to burden Alden. So, while talking, they both steered clear of the one thing that mattered most—Alden’s hearing condition.
But how could Helena not be concerned? Every day, she checked the time difference with Corland, ensuring she called Leonino during his lunch break.

One day, Leonino received another call from Helena. He had just wrapped up a long seminar with several experts, worked non-stop for hours, and was now lying down on his bed, utterly drained. When he saw the call coming in, he couldn’t help but smile in resignation. When he answered the phone, his voice was rough from exhaustion. “Calling again about Alden p>
Helena sounded slightly awkward. “Sorry for bothering you every day p>
“It’s no trouble, but I’m buried in work…” Leonino glanced at the pile of case files beside his bed and let out a tired chuckle. “Why not just ask Alden yourself p>
Helena didn’t reply.
Leonino understood what was going through her mind. Letting out a deep sigh, he gave in and said, “You can stop worrying for now. Alden is eligible for surgery, and he’s doing fine p>
