Mila snapped back to reality, took a deep breath, and finally made up her mind. "Aunt Jade, could you helpfind a divorce lawyer?" Jade was taken aback, a little surprised. "Can't you find one yourself?" "It's not that," Mila hedged. "It's just that since I'm divorcing Lysander, I worry that a regular lawyer might not be enough. I want to hire someone with more reputation and skill, but it's hard forto get in touch with them..." Mila avoided the real reason.
She couldn't tell Aunt Jade that Lysander was using his influence and money to make it impossible for her to find a lawyer. If Aunt Jade knew, with her personality, she'd definitely march over to the Montgomery family and cause a scene. If that happened, it would be impossible to keep this from her mother-in-law.

"Alright, I have a professional legal team at the Kingsford branch of Splendid. I'll arrange for them to assist you. You can discuss any issues with them," Jade agreed without hesitation.
Mila was overjoyed, expecting just one lawyer but getting an entire team! She hugged her aunt tightly, her spirits lifted. "Thank you, Aunt Jade!" "Off with you-it's only when you need my help that you remember to be sweet," Jade teased, her wrinkled face lighting up with a satisfied smile.
They chatted for a while, and soon they arrived at the Metropolitan Hospital.
Before coming, Jade's secretary, Sophie, had already contacted the hospital and arranged for VIP access, allowing for a comprehensive health checkup at any time.
As they stepped out of the car and headed towards the hospital, the sound of an ambulance siren pierced the air, creating a commotion at the entrance.
The ambulance's flashing lights stood out starkly against the night.
The vehicle stopped, and several doctors quickly exited, pushing a stretcher towards the emergency room. On the stretcher lay an unconscious, tall young man.
A distraught, middle-aged woman followed closely, tears streaming down her face. Mila caught sight of this scene and paused, a look of confusion crossing her face. Why did that crying woman's back seem so familiar?
"Mila, what are you daydreaming about?" Aunt Jade called from a few steps ahead, snapping Mila back to attention. She hurried to catch up, pushing the ambulance incident out of her mind. The VIP channel was efficient, and the paperwork was quickly completed.
