Jessica was still unconscious. Kathryn's heart ached when she saw Jessica's pale face. Kathryn was instructing the maids something at the ward's doorway when Arnold finished checking Jessica's condition and came out of the ward.She reminded the maids to forbid Krista into Jessica's ward no matter what happened. Even though Krista appeared to be under control at the moment, none of them could predict what she might secretly convey to Jessica, given her devious nature.Nora had taken note of what Kathryn had said. "Don't worry, Mrs. Albert. She won't be entering the ward anymore."She used to think it didn't matter as long as Krista didn't cause any harm to Jessica. She hadn't expected that Krista was such an odious person. She was surprised by what she had done.Kathryn nodded when she heard Nora's reply. "In any case, you have to stop her from entering the ward ever again.""Alright. I'll take note of it." Nora nodded.Arnold sighed when he noticed that Kathryn was being so de
Kathryn looked blank as she nodded. "I have no idea about it. How did you find out? You …"She found it difficult to continue what she intended to say.How did things turn out like this? She couldn't believe that Jessica was Krista's daughter."Is it confirmed?" Kathryn couldn't help but ask after pondering for a moment.Chris had mentioned to her before that the results of her DNA test with Krista were also positive. She didn't expect that things would be this bad.They didn't have the time to confirm the matter back then because of Jessica's illness. What Arnold had told her now wasn't what she had expected."It is confirmed, of course. There's nothing fake about it. What is it? I thought everyone who came for the matchmaking was your family and relatives, weren't they?"Kathryn was speechless. She was unable to think of anything at the moment.It sounded ridiculous that Jessica was Krista's daughter. Yet, since Arnold had said so, it was confirmed."Is Krista aware of this,
Kathryn couldn't bear it any longer. She pushed the ward door open forcefully. The door slammed open with a loud bang, echoing throughout the floor.Krista and Savanna had been feeling pleased with themselves. They were stunned by Kathryn's sudden appearance.Krista's face instantly darkened when she saw Kathryn. She instinctively hid the bottle of drugs behind her.She was furious that Kathryn had been eavesdropping. She was worried as Phineas was still in Byron's hands. She felt herself going crazy. Both Krista and Savanna looked embarrassed. They didn't expect that Kathryn would overhear their conversation.Kathryn was trembling with anger. "Stop hiding it. I've heard it. I've seen it as well. Krista Preston, how could you be so vicious?"As Krista thought, Kathryn had indeed overheard their conversation. Krista took a deep breath, attempting to remain calm. "You're such an uneducated brat. You can't even hide your contemptibility despite being Mrs. Albert. I can't believ
Kathryn was still attempting to kick Krista even though the security guards had pulled them apart. She was furious with how vicious Krista was. She wanted to rip her to shreds.Kathryn was a mother as well. She loved her own child so much. She couldn't understand how Krista could be so malicious.Krista was no longer part of the Alberts, and Franco also had a new mistress. She wouldn't be able to return to the Alberts even if she had succeeded in killing Jessica. The Albert Manor had become a place which she could only dream of returning.Kathryn couldn't understand why Krista was still behaving like that."Kathryn Michaels, I will never let go of you! I will never forgive you!" Krista shouted hysterically.Byron could hear the chaos from a distance as he arrived. He was stunned when he noticed that Kathryn and Krista had gotten into a fight as he approached the scene.After all, Kathryn had been urging him to wait until Jessica had completed her surgery before deciding to do any
Krista wouldn't dare to let something like that be shown to Byron. She refused to give it to Kathryn, no matter what.Yet, Kathryn was so strong that Krista couldn't resist her strength at all.Kathryn had forcibly snatched the bottle of drugs away from Krista's hand as she struggled. She then handed it to Arnold. "Dr. Burton, I told you she didn't deserve a chance for redemption when you suggested it, right?"You should've believed me! You were right about having faith in each other. But this woman right here isn't human at all!"Krista instinctively glanced at Byron when Arnold took the bottle of drugs from Kathyrn. Her face went paler.Byron cast a sullen glance at her, a look that filled her with fear. "What medicine is this? What will happen if my sister's surgery is carried out after she had this?" Kathryn asked.The instructions on the bottle were written in a foreign language. Kathryn couldn't understand foreign languages like this at all. Arnold, however, was able to
Yesterday's incident must have completely broken Jessica's spirit, as she still hadn't regained consciousness.Kathryn kept wiping her tears as she sat beside Jessica's bed. There was no doubt that Jessica's condition wasn't well.Krista had never taken a close look at Jessica's face. She wondered why she suddenly had a suffocated feeling as she looked at her right now.The paleness of Jessia's face gave Krista a feeling that she might pass away at any second. Krista could hardly breathe. She felt suffocated.Kathryn, who was inside the ward, was also upset."Come on, Jessica, wake up," Kathryn pleaded desperately, her distress evident in her voice. She couldn't understand why Krista could be so ruthless. How could she?Kathryn's heart was aching. She felt bad for Jessica. She was concerned about Kelly as well.How could Krista do something like that when Kelly was her own granddaughter?...Byron was at Arnold's office at the moment. As he examined the comparison of the c
Kathryn was extremely enraged at the moment.However, Chris couldn't fathom Krista appearing deceitful when she sought to reconcile with Kathryn back then. The sacrifices made, particularly handing over Baydem Group—an asset she had adamantly clung to—seemed too significant for mere pretense."Yeah. Dr. Burton said that he had mentioned it to her more than once. I'm sure she knew about it long ago."Chris fell silent. Had Arnold told her about it?In light of the new information, Chris was baffled as to why Krista would still harm Jessica if she were aware of their relationship.From Chris' point of view, he was sure that Krista had been sincere when she treated Kathryn nicely back then. Savanna's attitude had been apparent as well."What about Savanna, then?"Kathryn's anger flared as she spoke about Savanna. "It was Savanna, that witch, who got the drugs for Krista. She urged Krista to consume the drugs before Jessica's surgery, intending to kill Jessica." She was frightened
Krista was troubled. She refused to believe that Jessica was her daughter, but there was also a voice in her head urging her to figure out the matter.Her life seemed devastated enough, even though she hadn't unraveled the truth yet. What could she do if Jessica was truly her daughter?She was once again overwhelmed by the regret she used to harbor toward Kathryn—emotions that she despised.Byron noticed how lost Krista looked when he came to find her. Krista felt suffocated when she saw Byron.Remaining silent, Byron handed her some documents directly. Though not the result of a DNA test, the data on the papers unequivocally stated that Jessica was undoubtedly Krista's daughter.Krista took the documents from him but couldn't comprehend what was written on them. "Dr. Burton learned that Jessica is your daughter from the data obtained here. You can conduct another DNA test with Jessica or take the documents to other hospitals for verification. The results will undoubtedly b
