"Which stage are you in now?" Victor immediately asked."Stage 4."Stage 4? Victor was stunned that Chris' illness was already that serious. He had never noticed that something was wrong with him before.How could Chris be diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer all of a sudden?Victor's uncle had passed away because of liver cancer. He was lamenting how men could still die because of disease no matter what kind of hardships they had gone through in life.Liver cancer didn't sound like a severe illness under modern medical practices. Yet, each patient was so different that their survival rates actually depended on their body conditions."This is why you proposed a divorce with Kathryn, right?"Victor believed that Chris had only come across the fact that Kathryn was Krista's daughter at this point. Everyone familiar with Chris knew that he was a person who knew how to distinguish between right and wrong.Considering Chris' typical approach to resolving issues, Victor believed that
A misdiagnosis would spell serious trouble for the hospital, especially with Harborlean in its current state. Chris likely wouldn't settle for a mere hospital apology.Chris immediately made an internal call. The call was being picked up instantly. "Mr. Albert.""Ask the hospital to notify the specialists immediately. I want a follow-up now.""What? But the hospital said that you could just visit tomorrow—""Right now!" Chris growled with anger.Tara had no idea what was going on. Her mind went blank as Chris yelled at her. Nonetheless, she promptly replied, "Alright, I'll notify the hospital to arrange the follow-up immediately."Chris was so infuriated that he smashed the phone.Victor's lips involuntarily twitched, and he couldn't help but question the diagnosis further. It seemed quite likely that it was a misdiagnosis, given that Chris hadn't collapsed, even in the midst of his fury.He was certain that the hospital was in big trouble....Tara, Victor, and Chris arriv
Victor's body trembled upon hearing Chris' words. He chased after Chris. Just as Chris was about to get into his car, Victor grabbed his arm."Uh, what are you going to do with the hospital?"Chris paused. He turned back and glanced coldly at Victor. Victor looked upset. "I-I'm sorry …"His apology made Chris recall that the hospital was one of the Glenns' properties. Surprisingly, it was established by Victor, who seemed entirely unrelated to the medical field.Chris' face darkened even more when he remembered that the hospital was under Victor's name. He snapped, "Look at the doctors you've hired. They're a bunch of useless rubbish!"Chris was on the verge of exploding. "I …" Victor had no idea what was happening, but Chris was facing a big problem. Chris had no idea where Kathryn was now.After some contemplation, Victor said, "I owe you an explanation." Victor cursed the doctor who had carried out the medical checkup for Chris.It was an entirely unacceptable mistake
Kathryn had planned to go to Cloudrean when she left Sunshine Bay that day. Yet, she noticed that Chris' men had arrived at the airport before she could board the plane.If it weren't for Lloyd, who happened to be on his way to Leinegon for a business trip, Chris' men would have brought her back that day.Chris had told her that he would never see her again. Kathryn thought that her departure must be what he wanted. She couldn't understand why he was searching for her. Kathryn couldn't help but suspect that Chris was attempting to take her child away from her. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her vision blurred as she sniffled at the distressing thought.Lloyd promptly asked her, "Why are you crying again?" Kathryn had been crying a lot for the past few days. She was genuinely aggrieved by how Chris had treated her before she left.Kathryn turned away. She remained silent. She looked extremely resentful.Lloyd sighed. He placed the breakfast he had bought on the table and walk
However, Lloyd thought it didn't seem like Chris had lost interest in Kathryn.If he were bored of her, Kathryn's departure would have been something Chris wanted. Why would Chris be searching for her now?Besides, Lloyd had the feeling that Chris wasn't the only one who was looking for Kathryn. He was informed that there had been three groups of people looking for Kathryn. He wondered if there was something serious going on."Did you say Chris is looking for you because he wants your child?" Lloyd asked puzzledly.Kathryn nodded. "Yeah, I guess. He said he'll never see me again when he said that he wanted a divorce."Lloyd was surprised that Chris had said something like that. Did he hate Kathryn that much? He was speechless with Chris' actions.Yet, he didn't really care why Chris wanted a divorce with Kathryn. He recollected how ruthless Chris was to him back then. There was a sense of satisfaction in him, knowing that Chris was so anxious to find Kathryn.His lips bloomed in
Kathryn didn't care about the remark Lloyd made about her. She repeated, "Give me your bank account number.""You're really paying me back the money?""Of course." Kathryn nodded seriously.Lloyd touched his nose. He suddenly realized that he had been narrow-minded over the years. Perhaps he had underestimated Kathryn's determination as a woman.He thought her personality wasn't likable as she was such a crybaby. Yet, unlike her seemingly soft nature, she had such an unyielding character in reality. "Alright, then."Lloyd eventually gave her his bank account number since Kathryn had insisted. Kathryn transferred the 30 thousand dollars to him instantly. She was aware that the money belonged to Tally. Yet, she would rather owe Tally the money than Lloyd.She had heard rumors about Lloyd when she was still working with Chris. She believed that it was necessary to stay away from someone like him.Lloyd noticed that Kathryn had really transferred 30 thousand dollars to his bank
Lloyd finally understood why the management was offering a shop lot to Kathryn, as there was no doubt her skills would attract tourists."So, you're planning to stay at Brookside Town?"Kathryn nodded. "Yeah.""Well, are you aware of how many people are looking for you right now?" Kathryn was terrified at the thought of Chris searching for her, fearing he might try to take her child away. However, she remained unaware that it wasn't just Chris who was looking for her. The Glenns and the Hunts were also on her trail.Lloyd knew that there were two more groups involved in this search. He assumed one of them was connected to Lewis, but he had no clue about the identity of the other group.In any case, Lloyd noticed that things were getting difficult for him to deal with now. He believed Kathryn shouldn't stay in Brookside Town any longer if she truly wanted to hide from Chris.Kathryn frowned as she heard what Lloyd said. "Looking for me?""Chris isn't the only one looking for
Kathryn was certain that she had to find a safe place to stay."Are you sure you can handle it?" Lloyd found it hard to believe Kathryn's words. After all, he had witnessed her gentle and delicate nature. Despite her strong and unwavering personality, Kathryn remained a delicate and vulnerable woman in Lloyd's eyes. He doubted her readiness to confront the challenges ahead.Yet, Kathryn nodded. "Of course. I can do it."Her words were resolute and filled with confidence as she spoke, marking the moment when Lloyd first grasped the strength of a mother's influence.After breakfast, Lloyd hurried out to meet his client. Kathryn, on the other hand, was packing up her belongings.Aware that Chris' associates would soon reach Brookside Town, she realized the urgency of her departure. She was determined not to allow Chris the opportunity to take her child from her under any circumstances.…Kathryn had no idea that there were so many people looking for her. She was tense again aft
