Chapter 217 Not Many Years to Live

John, holding a freshly brewed hot coffee, walked over and saw this scene. His face changed immediately, hurriedly putting down the coffee cup and helping her to the couch. "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

John helped her sit down on the couch, and Aylin leaned back slightly, taking deep breaths for a while before she finally felt a little better.

She panted and rubbed her temples, "I don't know either, I just felt like this when I suddenly smelled the scent of sage.

Could it be that I haven't dealt with perfume ingredients for such a long time? But that shouldn't be the case..."

Aylin is highly skilled in perfume making; one could say she grew up immersed in various perfume ingredients. John had never seen her react so strongly to any perfume ingredient before. After a moment of contemplation, his expression grew increasingly worried. "Ms. Koch, could it be... the aftereffects of that explosion? Perhaps you should get yourself checked out again?" "It probably isn't."

Aylin shook her head, "In the past three years, I've occasionally had this headache when I'm tired. If I rest well, it's fine. It's probably because I've been under too much pressure lately."

Managing the company, investigating Hanson's case, and dealing with Gavyn who was as clingy as chewing gum, each matter was draining her energy.

John handed over the coffee cup, still feeling a bit uneasy, "Apart from the headache, are there any other unusual symptoms with Ms. Koch?"

Aylin lowered her eyes and fell silent for a moment before saying, "Yes."

"What else?" John became nervous.

"Recently, I've been having some really strange dreams that are quite baffling."

"Strange dream?"

John didn't expect Aylin to have this kind of trouble, and was momentarily stunned. "What exactly is this dream that's bothering you so much, Ms. Koch? I've read The Interpretation of Dreams before. Maybe if help you decipher your dream, your worries might be resolved."

Aylin lifted her coffee cup and took a sip, pondering, "In my dream, it seems like I had a close relationship with a man. He taught me things and addressed me affectionately. But I have no recollection of him, and I couldn't see his face clearly."

He was rendered speechless. John felt a bit out of his depth.

"As the saying goes, our thoughts during the day influence our dreams at night. Could it be that Ms. Koch had seen him before, but she just couldn't remember?" This was the only reasonable explanation he could think of.

Aylin shook her head, "No, I don't know him at all."

"Huh?" John was also puzzled, "Ms. Koch has never met this person, but she dreamt of them? That's really strange, isn't it?"

Just at this moment, Robert came to see Aylin with an exquisite paper bag in his hand. Hearing their conversation, he paused for a moment, and a hint of hidden complexity flashed in his eyes.

A moment later, he blinked and lowered his head, exhaling slowly, "I thought you had completely forgotten..."

Although Aylin explained that her headache was due to a troubled sleep caused by her dreams, John couldn't help but worry. He expressed his concern repeatedly, unable to completely set his mind at ease.

"Ms. Koch, please take good care of yourself. If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to tell me. Although I may not have many years left, I can still help ease your burdens. Seeing you like this truly breaks my heart."

"John, what nonsense are you talking about..."

Aylin raised her face and said, "Stop it, don't say things like you won't live for many more years-"

"Mr. Gardner!"

Before she could finish speaking, John interrupted her. He nodded toward something behind Aylin, and she turned her head to see Robert, who had quietly arrived at some point without them. noticing. "Robert? Why didn't you make a sound when you came in!" she exclaimed joyfully.

"It's not like I'm interrupting you guys just by watching you talk."

Robert and John nodded to each other, then flashed their signature mischievous grins as they strode over to Aylin. Handing her a paper bag, Robert said, "We passed by the Yves Saint Laurent counter and saw that they had just released their new spring and summer earrings collection. The blue sapphire is your favorite color, and the design is pretty nice too, so we got you a set.'

The five-digit priced earrings were described by him as if they were as cheap as buying a cabbage.

"Thank you, Robert!"

No girl would dislike a carefully chosen gift. Feeling remembered by someone is wonderful. Aylin's eyes crinkled with a smile, "Robert always keeps me in his thoughts."

"What does this even count for?"

Robert sat down on the couch, looking carefree and unrestrained, as if nothing unreasonable had just happened. "Aylin, you work so hard and always insist on doing everything yourself. Robert can't help you share the burden, so I bought you a little something to cheer you up.”

John came up and brewed coffee for the two of them.

Robert's eyes were drawn to the bottles and jars on the table, as well as the small porcelain plate. He exclaimed, "Oh! What made Aylin suddenly decide to make perfume today?"

"It's been a long time since I've done this, so I just wanted to give it a try," Aylin blinked her eyes playfully. "Besides, I should make one for Robert too."

Robert suddenly sat up straight, his eyes lighting up, "For me? Really?"

His excitement was beyond measure. Even if someone gifted him a limited edition SUV or even a luxury sports car, it might not compare to something handcrafted by Aylin herself.

Aylin smiled with her eyes narrowed, "Could it be anything else? I'll give you something to calm your nerves, you've been working hard lately.”

"Awesome!"

Robert raised his hands in excitement and quickly took out his phone, his fingers flying across the screen. "I have to show off to Willie, Harry, and the others. This is something Aylin made for me by hand... But wait, I need to show off in the group chat too!"

Before the sachets were even finished, Robert had already begun spreading the word far and wide.

Aylin held his hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Robert, I've just started preparing the materials."

"No worries, you do your thing, and I'll do mine. Let's keep them in suspense for now, and once it's done, we'll make them green with envy! Hahaha!"

Robert came from a wealthy family, and there was no shortage of precious treasures in his life. In fact, an ordinary sachet wouldn't even catch his eye. Aylin knew that the reason Robert cherished and treasured the sachet so much was that she had made it herself.

No matter when, there were always loved ones by her side. That warmth in her heart was the support that Aylin relied on to face all the storms and challenges in her life.

After sending the message, Robert casually opened Twitter and couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw what was on the screen.

He tutted.

"Aylin, come and have some fun first!"

"What?"
