Ave Carlisle returned to her country to discuss cooperation intentions with a business partner about her private hospital and didn't plan to stay in River State for long, so she didn't contact anyone.
She was just discussing cooperation issues with that business partner when she received a call from France. Not wanting to disturb the partner, she stepped out of the private room to take the call but unexpectedly witnessed the chaotic scene on the stairs.
She saw Flynn Taylor, and she saw the elderly woman in Flynn Taylor's arms.
For a moment, she stood in shock in front of the private room door.
Then, she noticed the attire of the crowd on the stairs: black clothes, black skirts, white flowers...
Was this a funeral?
Who died?
After a few thoughts spun through her mind, she told the person on the phone to 'talk later' and then hung up, hastening towards the stairs.
