Chapter 28 Ava Awakens!

It's 5 PM in the afternoon at Houston's First Hospital. Ryder was extremely excited! Just a moment ago, he received news that his sister, Ava, had woken up. And now, he rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible.
Inside the VIP ward.
Ryder sat by Ava's bedside, his eyes red and teary.
"Brother, please don't cry. I... I'm fine now!" Ava weakly spoke, her face displaying a serene smile.
"Okay, okay! Big brother won't cry!" Ryder revealed a silly grin.
During this period, his emotions had been intertwined with Ava's. Now that Ava was confirmed to be fine, the anxiety in his heart finally subsided!
Ava glanced around the room, worried, as she asked, "Brother! This must be an expensive ward. It's all because of me that you're in trouble. I'm sure sister-in-law and aunt must be scolding you!"
Ryder lovingly patted Ava's head, "Don't worry, little sis. I have money now and don't have to care about what others think. As for you, just focus on recovering in peace. Once you're discharged, I'll treat you to a feast, take you out to play, and buy you whatever you like!"
Ava shook her head and obediently said, "I don't want anything. I just want to stay by your side!" These words made Ryder's heart ache. Throughout these years, his biggest regret was his treatment of his little sister.
Since their father's passing, Ava had come to the Johnson family with him when he married into the family. How many disdainful looks has Ava endured, how much suffering has she endured, she has not been spared either.
Even so, Ava has never complained! She considers Ryder to be an unshakable presence! Therefore, Ava's position is irreplaceable in Ryder's heart. He would do anything for her! The two of them continued talking for a long time, but Ryder was worried that Ava had just woken up and reminded her to rest early. He left the hospital room to allow her to do so.
In the corridor, Director Richard Gaiman approached.
"Director Gaiman, do you need something from me?" he asked.
Richard nodded, "Mr. Clark, it's like this. After your sister woke up, we performed a comprehensive examination and found some issues."
Ryder's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly asked, "What issues?"
Richard replied, "Your sister's injuries from the accident were quite severe. Although she has regained consciousness, there may be some lasting effects during her recovery. To put it plainly, she may be left with a disability."
Hearing this, Ryder felt his vision darken. Ava was in the prime of her youth, so beautiful and sensible. Ryder couldn't bear the thought of her being disabled.
"Director Gaiman, you must help. No matter how much it costs, I want to cure her!"
"Mr. Clark, please don't worry. Your sister's condition is treatable, but..." Richard paused. "However, our hospital and even the country's rehabilitation techniques are relatively outdated. To be on the safe side, I suggest sending your sister to England for treatment, where we can guarantee a complete recovery."
"No problem, I will go with her!"
"Mr. Clark, it would be better for you to stay in the country. Rest assured, coincidentally, our hospital has a postoperative rehabilitation learning program with England this time, and I will lead the team. Your sister can be accompanied by me and the team, so there is no need to worry about safety. We estimate that she will fully recover in a month or two. I have also consulted Chairman, and he agrees this is the best possible solution."
At that moment, Ryder's phone rang, it was Scott calling.
Ryder walked to a secluded area to answer the phone.
"Sir, I assume Director Gaiman has already informed you that Miss Ava needs to be sent to England for treatment!"
Ryder frowned. "Sending her abroad is not a problem, and I also want to go with her!"
Scott advised, "sir, you have just taken over the legacy left by your father, and the foundation is not yet stable. Now is not the time to leave. Besides, there is another reason for arranging Miss's treatment in England!"
"What do you mean?"
"With your current change in status, it is highly likely that the Jones family of New York will become aware of it. Given their attitude towards you, they may cause trouble. If anything were to happen to Miss Ava as a result..."
Ryder suddenly realized!
Yes, the Jones family of New York. They would always the indelible shadow of childhood. It's also the root of Ryder's unforgotten hatred!
Ryder had a premonition that one day in the future, he would definitely have a showdown with the Jones family! However, the Jones family is elusive! At present, he is far from being their match. So, he must take precautions.
While sending Ava overseas for treatment, he will stabilize everything in Houston. Only when he becomes stronger can he have peace of mind!
Taking a deep breath, Ryder nodded, "I understand. When do we leave?"
"I have arranged a private jet, tonight at 8 PM!"
"Good!"
...
Returning from the airport.
On the way, Ryder thought about how Ava showed reluctance when he sent her away, and he felt a sense of emptiness in his heart. Fortunately, he convinced Ava to receive treatment in England.
Accompanying them were not only Director Gaiman but also Scott, who personally escorted them. Therefore, Ryder wasn't worried about their safety.
He hoped that when Ava returned, she would go back to being cheerful and healthy as before! Since Ava had been discharged from the hospital, Ryder didn't need to stay there anymore and took a taxi home directly.
At this time, the Ernest family had just finished dinner. All three of them were in a good mood today. That's because Sarah received a call from her grandfather in the afternoon, saying that she should go and discuss the bidding qualification tomorrow.
This was a rare opportunity for Sarah. If she succeeded, she could smoothly secure the bidding! In the future, her status among the younger generation of the Johnson family would skyrocket, and of course, Ernest and his wife, as Sarah's parents, would be proud as well.
However, when Ryder came back and opened the door, Karen's face immediately turned dark on the sofa, "Who allowed you, a jinx, to come back? Get out, our family doesn't welcome you!"
Ryder remained silent.
Karen was about to explode, but Sarah quickly intervened, "Mom, stop it!"
She then gave Ryder a look, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and wash the dishes!"
"Okay!" Ryder went to tidy up the table and wash the dishes.
After finishing the dishes, Ryder started to mop the floor.
Previously, when he returned home from the construction site at night, these chores were all his responsibility. He knew the process like the back of his hand!
Karen sat cross-legged on the sofa, murmuring while watching TV, "Useless thing! Grandpa said today, three days from now, you must divorce Sarah. When the time comes, you better get as far away as possible, remember?"
Ryder nonchalantly replied, "I won't divorce unless Sarah says it herself!"
Karen ordered Sarah, "Girl, tell him that you will divorce in three days!"
Sarah frowned and said, "Mom! I already said it, we decide the fate of our marriage ourselves!"
Karen glared at her in anger, "You stubborn girl, you don't even know that Ryder...What kind of aphrodisiac did that useless person give you? And you're defending him! This divorce was ordered by Grandpa. Today, he finally gave you a chance to prove yourself! If you don't divorce, the three of us will have to face this asshole together and suffer!"
Sarah sighed and didn't respond. She glanced at Ryder and said, "Come to my bedroom, I have something to tell you."
