Chapter 162 Could All Those Things Possibly Be Fakes
A wave of realization washed over Aurelia.
It suddenly occurred to her that in her past life, it was indeed at this time that she had been involved in a car accident.
However, due to her absence, it was Luna who ended up in the car accident instead.
Although she had been reincarnated, many things had changed due to her actions. However, the car accident was an event she couldn’t avoid.
Listening to the silence from Aurelia on the other end of the phone, Gideon spoke again. “No matter how upset you are, no matter how much you resent us, you must come now! The person lying in the operating room is your mother! Do you hear me? You must come!”
It seemed like someone had snatched the cellphone over.
Aaron’s voice came through. “Aurelia, we’re not lying to you. The situation is truly dire right now. Mom has been in the operating room for an hour, and we still don’t know the specifics. She is covered in blood from the accident, her condition is really bad. So, regardless of how much you despise us, you need to come to the hospital right now.”
By this point, Aurelia had already snapped back to reality from her reverie.
Her expression was aloof as she responded with a single word. “Fine.”
At the hospital.
The lights in the operating room remained on.
Several individuals of the Leedon family were already waiting outside the operating room.
They appeared to be consumed with anxiety, each of them fixated on the operating room.
Gideon’s face remained ashen, the issues at the company had already drained him mentally and physically. To his dismay, things just went from bad to worse.
How on earth did the car accident happen out of nowhere?
Judging by the doctor’s expression, it seemed the injuries were quite severe.
“Mom will definitely be okay, Dad, don’t worry. Mom will surely be all right.” Melanie, although frightened to the core, still remembered her role as the obedient daughter, and tenderly reassured Gideon.
A car accident…
Please don’t get too seriously hurt, or else you will become a burden to us.
Melanie thought uneasily to herself.

Gideon’s expression softened slightly. Comparing his two daughters, it was clear who was superior. When it came down to it, Melanie was always the one who stood out.

Observing from the side, Aaron saw how understanding and considerate Melanie was, a gentle warmth flickered in his eyes.
“Did the police manage to apprehend the driver?” Spencer suddenly recalled.
He was seething with rage, wishing he could personally deal with the driver himself.
It was absolutely infuriating. How dare the driver bang his mother?
Looking rather worn out, Benjamin nodded. “He’s under arrest, don’t worry, he won’t escape.”
Spencer turned his gaze toward Aaron again. “Did Aurelia really agree to come over during the call just now? It’s been several minutes already, why hasn’t she arrived? Where on earth is she living that she can’t make it here in half a day? There shouldn’t be any traffic at this hour.”
“Just wait a little longer,” Aaron said, somewhat helplessly.
Spencer began to grumble, “She can come or not, does she really think we want her here? Just because she has our Leedon family’s blood in her veins, who does she think she is? Having a sister like her is just plain bad luck!”
At this point, Aurelia had already arrived.
She leaned against the corner, listening to the complaints from the Leedon family members. directed at her. A sarcastic smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.
“Enough,” Gideon scolded angrily. “Hold your tongue. Your mother is in the operating room and we have no idea what’s happening. This is no time for your complaints.”
At that time, he found what he was hearing extremely irritating.
Whenever Aurelia, that troublesome girl, came to mind, it always left a sense of unease.
Spencer could only keep silent.
Melanie’s eyes darted around before she settled down next to Spencer. In a soft voice, she said, “Aurelia should be arriving soon.”
“Who cares?” Spencer rolled his
eyes.
After letting out a sigh, Melanie moved to Aaron’s side. “Aaron, don’t worry about mom.”
ח
“Indeed, Mom will certainly be fine.” Aaron assured, his gaze on Melanie filled with tenderness.
Aurelia walked over.
Upon seeing Aurelia, the expressions of everyone present changed instantly.

genuinely indifferent and unresponsive toward them.

The warmth she once showed them was now replaced by a stark indifference.
Aurelia cast her gaze over the few people before her, briefly glancing at the operating room.
She had come with the sole intention of seeing what Luna looked like after the car accident. In her previous life, she had been paralyzed from a high–level spinal injury. Without her protection in this life, she was curious to see what would become of Luna. She was eager to see it with her own eyes.
“You finally decided to show up!” Spencer remarked with a cold huff.
“Just wait here, your mom is still in surgery,” Gideon said in a cold tone.
Aurelia hummed in agreement, then found a spot and sat down.
Compared to their complexions, Aurelia appeared to be in a good mood, yet her expression was subtly detached, leaving one to wonder what she was thinking.
Melanie knew that her video was in Aurelia’s possession, so she felt somewhat uneasy and didn’t dare to stir up any trouble at this time.
Benjamin took a seat beside Aurelia, his face less haughty than before. “I heard something about you,” he began, “They say you’re quite skilled at restoring antiques, even capable of distinguishing between real and fake ones. Is this information accurate?”
Initially, he didn’t believe it. In their presence, Aurelia had never claimed to be skilled at these things.
After she returned to the Leedon family, they all seemed indifferent to her, barely showing any
concern.
No one knew what her hobbies and interests were.
Looking back, whenever their family planned to buy some antique vases for decoration, she would voice her opinions. However, no one paid any heed to her suggestions.
Everyone thought she was just talking nonsense.
They would continue shopping as usual. The thought that many of the items they had previously purchased for the residence were not bought as she had instructed made Aaron’s heart skip a beat.
Could it be that all those things were counterfeits?
Immediately, Gideon turned his gaze toward Aurelia, his eyes sharp as knives. “Is what Benjamin said true?”
Melanie bit her lip.
“Does it matter to you whether it’s true or false? I don’t recall you being so curious before.” Aurelia retorted with a half–smile.

Among the Leedon family, the people she detested the most were none other than Spencer and Benjamin.
At times, Benjamin couldn’t even compare to Spencer.
After all, Spencer’s flaws were only skin–deep.
Benjamin, as á person, was particularly adept at scheming.
Driven solely by personal gain.
“Of course it matters, I’m your older brother!” Benjamin’s tone turned serious as he reminded. her coldly.
Aurelia chuckled. “What kind of ‘older brother‘ are you? The kind who plans to hand me over to warm someone else’s bed?”
In her past life, she was bedridden, and he didn’t even cast a glance her way. Occasionally, when he passed by the hallway, he would comment, “What is that smell? It’s disgusting.”
She was bedridden, unable to care for herself. Bedsores had formed on her body, and her inability to move resulted in a loss of control over her bodily functions. The Leedon family, including the servants, neglected her. Could there be no odor?
Having survived a car accident, Luna saw her as a burden, let alone what others might think of her.
Benjamin’s brow furrowed, his expression turning icy, “If you could do something for the Leedon family, it would be your honor. After all, you’ve never done anything for the family. I’ve never regretted this matter, and there’s no need for you to resent me because of it.”
“Really, you talk as if you’ve done something for me,” Aurelia sneered. “Officially, I have no connection to any of you, and even our blood ties aren’t that significant. It’s best if you mind your own business.”

Upon hearing this, Benjamin’s face darkened.
“Do you even know what you’re talking about?” Benjamin asked, his tone ominously cold.

Gritting his teeth, Spencer fixed his gaze on Aurelia. “Blood ties aren’t that important? Then how were you born? Aurelia, you’re going too far!”
Upon hearing this, Aurelia stood up, slung her bag over her shoulder, and prepared to leave. Before she left, she left a message. “If there’s anything, just text me. No need to call.”
She dreaded hearing them speak, fearing it would make her feel nauseous.
She had only taken a few steps before she was stopped. “Hold it right there!”
Aurelia turned to look at Gideon, who had called out to her.
“Sit down and wait,” Gideon said brusquely. “Your mother hasn’t come out of the operating room yet. What do you think you’re doing by leaving now?”
With a cool curve of her lips, Aurelia glanced at the time. “This surgery is unlikely to be over quickly. If you expect me to sit here and listen to your high–handedness, twisting the truth, you’d better show some sincerity. At the very least, offer up a few million for me to wait around, otherwise, keep your mouths shut.”
Somehow, they had gotten the wrong impression, as if they were the center of the world, with everyone else revolving around them.
They took shamelessness and disgrace to an absolute extreme.
“Aurelia, why do you always bring up money when we’re family?” Melanie couldn’t help but voice
out
The underlying message clearly indicated that Aurelia was excessively greedy for wealth.
“Indeed, Benjamin and Spencer acted impulsively just now.” Aaron hastily intervened, playing the peacemaker. “Your mother’s accident has left them distressed. Don’t hold it against them.”
Benjamin’s lips were tightly pressed together, as if he was holding back some kind of emotion.
Under Gideon’s watchful gaze, Spencer had no choice but to hold his tongue. He simply couldn’t stand the way Aurelia was currently disregarding them.
Why should they be disregarded?
Melanie only had eyes for them.
Indeed, it was impossible to compare one person to another, the differences were just too vast.
Gideon added, “Let’s discuss whatever matters you have after your mom comes out of the
