The butler replied, "It is not Ms. Susan. It is the other Ms. Winchester, the one who had yet to return." It was Kathryn's annex.Emma heaved a sigh of relief. The worry on her face dissipated. However, Arthur's face darkened. "Put the fire out!""The fire is spreading really fast. We can't put it out at all. We've called the fire department already."Arthur staggered and jumped from the bed, ready to charge outside.Everything in the annex was something Charlotte had prepared for Kathryn. Arthur couldn't bear to see them burn before him.…Arnold was occupied in a meeting when Kathryn arrived at the hospital. She waited for two hours before she saw Arnold.Arnold said to her, "There are some complications from the donor.""What kind of complication?" Kathryn asked.Her heart leaped into her throat.Arnold explained, "The donor's mother is currently at a different hospital and is facing high medical expenses."Kathryn stayed silent."So, that person is willing to donate
As Kathryn mentioned that, Jessica sighed. "Kat, I've never thought it would be this difficult to leave the hospital once I've checked in." She thought it was just the flu when she first arrived at the hospital. Never did she imagine that stepping into the hospital would mean never stepping out again.When Kathryn heard the sadness in Jessica's tone, she gently held Jessica's hand.Before Kathryn could say anything, Jessica asked, "Any updates on the man?"Jessica was still persistent about finding that man.Despite her uncertain survival, Jessica remained steadfast in her quest to find the man Kelly could call "Dad".With a sound mind, Jessica had narrowed her focus to one thing she was confident about.Kathryn was stunned when Jessica brought the man up. She had been preoccupied at the hospital in the past few days. When she saw Tara today, she had forgotten to ask for updates about this man's whereabouts. She also hadn't received any reports from Tara to Chris."Tara didn
Jessica had no choice but to listen to Kathryn.Deep down, she harbored a genuine desire to live. Yet, the absence of visible hope was agonizing.After conversing with Jessica for a while, Kathryn left the hospital.The hospital had found a donor, and Arnold was actively tending to Jessica's health. The hope was for the operation to take place as swiftly as possible. They were fully aware that initiating the operation marked the beginning of another arduous battle.But if Jessica didn't go through with the operation, she would lose her life.…The news about the Winchester residence's fire had reached Benjamin's ear. Initially, he had no intention of returning home and remained emotionally distant from the Winchesters.However, his demeanor took a drastic turn upon learning that the building his mother had prepared for his sister had caught fire. He went home hastily.Upon arrival, all that met his eyes were ruins and billowing black smoke. It required no genius to conclude t
When Eliza made that statement, the atmosphere in the living hall grew colder than ever before.Susan's face lost all color as she stared at Eliza. Then, she looked at Benjamin. "She doesn't know what she's saying. Don't believe her, Benjamin. I didn't go to your sister's annex today. Plus, I wouldn't set it on fire even if I was there. I wouldn't," Susan insisted, a painful expression on her face. However, Benjamin was right. She was the one who set that annex on fire.All these years, that building was a brutal reminder of who she was. It reminded her that no matter how much she did, she would never amount to the daughter they longed to find.She was the one who had lived with this family all these years. She had worked hard to do so much for everyone. She didn't understand why they couldn't forget that long-lost girl.Every new year, they would visit that annex. Despite the love she received, she was never permitted to enter. It seemed her presence would taint the very air wit
Even so, Benjamin uttered coldly, "Call the cops."Eliza wasted no time in carrying out Benjamin's command and promptly dialed the police.Arthur trembled with anger, his already weakened body now feeling even more fragile. He grappled with the harsh reality of mortality, compelled to accept the cruelty it brought.However, he felt terrible witnessing his children tearing each other apart overnight."Are you trying to escalate this to a point of no return? Is that what will satisfy you?" "Yes!" Benjamin exhaled a mouthful of smoke, delivering the word with icy indifference. Arthur and Emma were left utterly speechless.Benjamin took another drag of the cigarette. Without waiting for their response, he continued, "Back in the day, you didn't care how messy things were. You didn't care about my mother's feelings either. Now you know what it feels like to have a chance of no turning back."Have you considered the consequences of everything that happened back then?"At this mome
Kathryn despised anyone who would speak for Susan. Nonetheless, she got out of the car.At this moment, Harlet was standing three feet away from the car, smoking. Sadness lingered in his frown. Kathryn glanced at her phone for the time. She didn't want him to waste too much of her time here.Harlet explained, "There was a fire at the Winchester residence tonight. It was your annex. Benjamin is blaming the whole thing on Susan."From the simple explanation, Kathryn could tell how chaotic it must have been at the Winchester residence tonight.She kept quiet.She understood the purpose of Harlet's visit to her. To no surprise, it was for Susan.If Susan were not at her wits' end, anyone who loved her would never appear before Kathryn.To Kathryn's surprise, she had an annex at the Winchester residence. She had no clue how massive the Winchester residence was. She had never been there before.However, among Chris' friends, Travis and Victor were the richest. So, she knew the Winc
Kathryn no longer wanted to engage with Harlet when she finished speaking. She turned around and got into the car.However, Harlet couldn't shake off the snippets of Kathryn's words that echoed in his mind. He was flabbergasted.Did she say he was disgusting?How dared she!Already unhappy that she didn't address him by name, Harlet was now appalled by her labeling him as disgusting.As Harlet stared at the car distancing from him, anger overcame him, and his head throbbed immensely.In the car, Kathryn looked at the trees fading outside the window. Her heart felt as cold as an iceberg.Although she didn't care much for this group of people, they still affected her mood.When she returned to Sunshine Bay, Chris was waiting for her in the dining room.When he saw her return, he stood up. "Didn't you call earlier? Why did you take so long to come back?"Considering the timing of her call, even if she didn't encounter any traffic lights, she should have arrived earlier.Kathryn
When Chris heard Kathryn's words, he was stunned."Can't you use the card I gave you?" Chris raised a brow, not understanding the reason for her awkwardness.Kathryn forgot about the card he gave her. Chris and Tally were the ones who paid for Jessica's medical expenses throughout the time. In general, she didn't worry about these things. So, she didn't know how much money she had available at the moment.When Chris saw her stunned expression, he knew she had forgotten about this. He patted her head and said helplessly, "Come on. What am I supposed to say in this situation?"Kathryn had used Tally's money like it was the most reasonable thing in the world. However, when it came to using his money, she still hadn't consciously acknowledged his role as her husband and support. She wasn't used to relying on him yet. Kathryn explained, "I thought I should tell you about it since it's a big sum of money."200,000 wasn't a small number for Kathryn. Moreover, she wasn't someone who s
