That was why Kathryn hadn't brought Kelly to the hospital for the past few days.Kathryn glanced at Kelly, who was calmly having her meal when she heard Jessica telling her that she wanted to see Kelly. "Alright, I'll bring her there later."Kathryn hung up the call shortly after.Kelly was looking at her, eyes filled with hope. Kathryn knew Kelly had wanted to follow her to the hospital for the past few days. She ruffled her hair and said, "Kelly, your mommy has to stay at the hospital. Do you get it?""Don't worry, Aunt Kathryn. I won't say anything that'll make mommy worry again." Kelly was also aware that what happened last time had made Jessica so anxious that she nearly insisted on being discharged from the hospital.Kathryn was pleased. She nodded. "You're a good girl."Chris also felt that Kelly was a well-behaved and sensible child as he looked at how she behaved.He still remembered how Emily behaved when she was a child. He always thought children would be naughty and
The nursing assistants were tactful enough to leave the ward directly as they saw Kathryn come in. Kathryn thought perhaps they were disgusted by Jessica's vomit. They didn't even clean away the vomit inside the trash can. It was being left in front of the hospital bed.There was a bitterness in Kathryn's heart as she looked at the scene. She placed Kelly on the ground and said, "Kelly, can you talk to your mommy for a while?""Aunt Kathryn, I'll do it," Kelly said sensibly as she noticed that Kathryn intended to change the trash bag. Kathryn had no idea whether Kelly had seen the expressions of the nursing assistants just now. Her heart was aching as she saw how Kelly was behaving.She ruffled Kelly's hair. "I'll do it. You hadn't seen your mommy for days. Your mommy misses you."Jessica was looking at Kathryn as she quickly tidied up the ward. The trash can wasn't the only spot that was filthy. The entire ward was extremely messy today.It has always been crucial for a pat
"But I feel like my life seems to be reaching its limit every time I have my treatment. I have the feeling that I won't be able to leave this hospital alive. Kathryn, do you understand this feeling?"Jessica's eyes were filled with despair as she looked toward Kathryn while she spoke.She truly wanted to live. She wanted to leave the hospital alive. She believed that the sunshine outside the hospital must be very wonderful at the moment.Yet, the sunshine seemed grayish to her as she looked outside the window from the hospital. It was a completely different feeling. Jessica felt that it was the difference between dying and being alive."I want to enjoy the golden sunshine. I want to go to places with Kelly." Jessica was willing to stay anywhere besides the hospital as long as she could be together with Kelly.Kathryn was suffering as she heard what Jessica had said. She felt suffocated. She took a few deep breaths and said with difficulty, "Are you aware that you won't have mu
Kathryn intended to visit Jessica's doctor as she came out of her ward. Yet, she surprisingly overheard the two nursing assistants talking to each other when she was in the restroom. "I can't believe how generous Mrs. Preston was. She's got a point, you know. She's going to die, after all.""I know, right? And that sister of hers, I don't think the Alberts truly accept her even though she's the lady of the family. Things would probably be worse for her if Mr. Albert doesn't like her anymore one day.""Yeah. I guess we should just do what Mrs. Preston says at the moment. She's dying, after all. They can't blame us for that."The nursing assistants were secretly discussing it.Kathryn was infuriated as she listened to them inside the restroom partition. Her heart was burning with rage.She immediately came out from the partition, pushing the door open with a loud bang.Before the nursing assistants could realize what was happening, she grabbed each of them with her hands and forc
Kathryn was too busy to think about it too much. She left the restroom hurriedly after exchanging pleasantries with Jonathan.Jonathan watched her as she left the restroom and sent the video he had just recorded to Byron immediately after. He then texted him, "Someone in this hospital wants Ms. Jessica to die."The conversation immediately fell silent when Jonathan sent the message.Byron had arrived at the Albert Group at the moment. Chris had even delayed his meeting for an hour when he saw that Byron had come to the company.Yet, Byron had been smoking incessantly ever since he entered his office. It seemed that he had no intention of telling Chris about the purpose of his visit."Byron?"Byron immediately snapped back to reality as Chris called him. He took a last drag of his cigarette and looked toward Chris. He wanted to say something but eventually bit his tongue and remained silent.Chris suddenly recollected that Byron had once visited him before, claiming he wanted to
Chris finally knew what to expect.Byron lit up another cigarette and took an intense drag of it. Chris only looked at him calmly. He didn't say a word.None of them said anything before Byron finally left.Tara entered Chris' office hurriedly. "Mr. Albert, the copy of the recording footage we have been repairing was stolen.""Yeah, I know.""Y-You knew?" Tara was surprised.The footage was stolen just when the repair was about to finish. Undoubtedly, someone was secretly preventing them from continuing their investigation. Tara thought it meant that the man that night knew they were investigating it and was reluctant to let them figure out who he was."Yeah," Chris replied. He was sure that it was undoubtedly Byron who had done it.Byron clearly knew Chris would further investigate it once he discovered that the recording footage was stolen, so he had decided to admit it to him directly."What should we …" Tara couldn't hide her confusion as she looked toward Chris, who didn'
Kathryn was so infuriated that she was trembling with anger. "You're such a despicable woman. You'll be punished for what you've done.""Punish? You should be punished instead for taking something that doesn't belong to you, and I'll be the one who'll be giving you the punishment you deserve." Krista sneered.Kathryn's breathing deepened.Before she could say anything, Krista continued, "Kathryn, I have to say you're a really brave person. Yet, I have to remind you that it's less likely that Jessica would be able to survive."She's not able to withstand much torment now. You should ask Chris to return the Baydem Group to me if you want her to live."Krista was fierce as she spoke. She sounded like a person's life was nothing to her.She was willing to kill to get what she wanted. She looked like she didn't care if someone really died in front of her.Kathryn's chest was heaving intensely as she looked toward her. "The Baydem Group doesn't belong to me. It doesn't belong to you e
Kathryn had no idea how she had come out of Krista's villa.Her tense body instantly relaxed the moment she received Tally's phone call. She cried like a baby on the phone.Tally's heart missed a beat as she heard Kathryn cry. "Where are you?""I just came out from Krista's place.""Come to my apartment now, okay?""Okay."Tally didn't intend to meet Kathryn in a couple of days. Yet, she had no other choice as Kathryn was crying like that.Kathryn arrived at Tally's place half an hour later with a tear-streaked face. Tally embraced her in her arms. "Alright. It's not a big deal. It's not worth it for you to cry like this.""She's going too far!" Kathryn burst into tears."She's not a nice person. It's normal for her to go too far." Tally reassured her by patting her back with her hand.Kathryn was sniffling.Tally hobbled as she led Kathryn toward the couch. It was then that Kathryn realized that something was wrong with her walking posture."What's wrong with your leg?"
