Despite Byron's cold demeanor, he was skilled at controlling his emotions.

Throughout the years, few had seen him smile. Yet, this consistent coldness provided a sense of accustomed stability.

Suddenly, this emotional fluctuation raised questions in Markus' mind about what could have caused such a disturbance.

Upon hearing Markus' voice, Byron gave him a mere glance.

Markus continued, "You scolded several people just now. Is something wrong with the company?"

"It's rare to see you caring about the company. I thought you were only focused on dealing with the Johnson Group," Byron replied sarcastically.

Markus fell silent. His expression soured when speaking of the Johnson Group.

Tally hadn't shown up again since the night before last when she had sought him out. Did she genuinely believe that Victor could resolve her problems this time?

Markus didn't want to delve into the topic of Tally. He glanced at Byron and asked, "Why were you investigating Kelly last night? What's the m

    After breakfast, the psychiatrist arranged by Byron the previous night arrived at the hospital.Jessica wasn't allowed to remain in the ward as the psychiatrist spent nearly an hour talking to Kelly. When the psychiatrist finally emerged, his expression bore a grave seriousness.Witnessing the psychiatrist's somber expression, Jessica's heart raced with worry. She cautiously approached him and inquired, "Doctor, how is my daughter?"The psychiatrist sighed and met her gaze. Then, he said, "Let's discuss Kelly's condition in my office." Jessica nodded. She instructed the nursing assistant not to leave before following the psychiatrist to his office. The psychiatrist was a man in his thirties. After glancing at Jessica, he said, "You should be aware of where the problem lies, right?""Yes, I know," Jessica nodded. After spending about an hour talking to Kelly, the psychiatrist concluded that all the issues seemed to revolve around Jessica. When the psychiatrist glanced at her

She faced immense pressure and pain, yet she had no choice but to grit her teeth and bear it.When Kathryn arrived in the morning, she found Jessica embracing Kelly, who was crying. Although Kelly had been asleep when Kathryn visited the previous night, she was now awake. Her eyes filled with misty tears.Kathryn felt a pang in her heart as she approached. "Why are you crying again?" Upon hearing Kathryn's voice, Jessica and Kelly reluctantly separated. Jessica's eyes filled with worry as she glanced at Kathryn's protruding belly. "Did you come alone?""No." Kathryn shook her head. Chris expressed his intentions to go to the office, but Kathryn remained concerned about Jessica and Kelly. Consequently, he chose to accompany Kathryn to their visit. Chris was uneasy about leaving her alone, mainly since they had office commitments later in the day.Jessica nodded understandingly. "

    Chris didn't think much of Kathryn's need to use the restroom. He had a phone call coming in, so he let go of her hand and casually said, "Please go ahead."Unaware of Kathryn's unusual behavior, he turned around to answer the call.Kathryn was breathing heavily. Then, she lowered her head and discovered that her pants were already wet. She had even created a puddle on the floor! For a brief moment, her mind went blank as she tried to hold it in, but it proved impossible. The floor echoed with a dripping sound.Overwhelmed with embarrassment, Kathryn wished she could simply disappear from the scene.After Chris ended his call, he turned around and found Kathryn still standing there. He asked softly, "Why haven't you gone yet? Can't you find the restroom?"Feeling intensely embarrassed, Kathryn's eyes welled up. She looked at Chris, her voice choking as she confessed, "I-I wet my pants!"Her teary-eyed appearance took him aback. When he saw the water on the floor, his heart sank

    "It's not as painful as I expected," Kathryn replied. The pain she felt didn't match the excruciating descriptions she had read about in books. Could childbirth be less painful than anticipated?Soon, the doctor approached to examine Kathryn. They noted that her cervix was only dilated by less than one inch.They inquired about her discomfort, with the doctor offering reassurance that the intense pain would likely come later.Chris inquired, "Is there any way to make her more comfortable during the delivery?" He had extensively studied videos and books, hoping to spare Kathryn from unnecessary suffering.The doctor found Chris' question slightly awkward but replied, "It's improbable for there to be no pain at all. However, we'll do our best to alleviate Mrs. Albert's discomfort.""Why don't you consider a C-section?" Chris suggested with a dark expression. A few days ago, he had carefully compared the delivery options and felt that Kathryn might not be able to endure the pain

    The surprising turn of events took Benjamin aback, as his actions had been quite peculiar. Chris, who had never been fond of him, seemed determined to keep him away from Kathryn.Under Chris' watchful and critical eye, Benjamin awkwardly attempted to explain himself by saying, "Aren't I just trying to help you? I was concerned you might be overwhelmed!"However, that statement came across as absurd, prompting Chris to sneer, "I wasn't aware we were that close. Why would you worry about me being overwhelmed?"The audacity of Benjamin's concerns about Chris being too busy was genuinely astonishing.Benjamin was desperate, his back drenched in cold sweat. He wanted to clarify Kathryn's identity as soon as possible. This was because Arthur's health was deteriorating, and the persistent desire to find the child weighed heavily on his mind.Kathryn's sudden exclamation caused Chris' face to darken further. He snapped, "Leave immediately, or don't blame me for being rude!"With that,

    Kathryn sniffled while saying, "Pinching myself helps me reduce some pain!"She claimed it was to alleviate the pain, but in reality, it served as a way to divert her focus from the unbearable stomach cramps. Pinching her arm provided a distraction.Chris watched her arms turn red from her pinches, feeling incredibly distressed. How could this be happening? She was giving birth, yet she was hurting herself all over ...In desperation, Chris blurted out a shocking and nonsensical statement, stunning everyone in the room. "Can't we just not have the baby?"All the doctors were left speechless. This was childbirth; it wasn't something he could just decide not to do, as if it were some other task. Was he seriously suggesting they could just choose not to give birth?Frank was also present, and he hurried forward. "Mr. Albert, please try not to get too anxious. The child must be born."This statement only intensified Chris' frantic state.He was beginning to regret it all. Why hadn

    Since her return to Harborlean, Krista couldn't shake the thought of finding Kathryn, yet the fear of facing her loomed large.Every time she contemplated reaching out, the memory of Kathryn's fearful expression haunted her.Now, upon learning that Kathryn was in the hospital and ready to give birth, Krista felt an overwhelming sense of urgency and confusion.Understanding her concerns, Savanna suggested, "Maybe you should go and check on her. Even if you don't enter the ward, waiting outside might give you peace of mind."Krista nodded, instructing someone to bring down the baby and maternity supplies she had prepared.The baby clothes she purchased had all appropriately been sterilized. Regardless of their necessity, she wanted to bring them along.Upon arriving at the hospital, Kathryn had already been taken to the delivery room.Outside the delivery room, Chris and the medical team from Sunshine Bay waited anxiously.

    Now, the Winchesters wanted to extend their reach to Kathryn. Well, even if it cost Krista's life, she would tear these people apart. Benjamin's breath grew heavy. This situation now had spiraled out of control. He glanced at Chris, who spoke chillingly, "Not leaving?"The relationship between Krista and Chris used to be explosively volatile. Now, seeing them united, nobody dared to utter a word."I'm not leaving!" With those words, Benjamin defiantly sat on a row of iron chairs against the wall.Everybody was speechless after hearing this. Why wouldn't Benjamin leave? What did he have to do with this situation?In truth, Benjamin was worried about Kathryn, even though nothing about her identity was confirmed yet. He had a hunch that the marks on Kathryn's neck matched the location his mother mentioned years ago.Unbeknownst to him, his reluctance to leave was perceived as an act of defiance by everyone present.

He looked like he wanted to eat me alive." Tally couldn't help but laugh.Victor reached for her hand as they sat down on the couch together. "Were you scared?" he asked.As Tally sat down, she casually looked back and noticed a framed photograph on Victor's desk.Out of curiosity, she picked it up and examined it. But with just one glance, she froze in surprise."When... when was this taken?" she asked. Her shock was evident as she turned to Victor.The picture was taken back when they were at Beverly Peak, during his hospital stay after being bitten by a wolf.She remembered looking after him until she herself fell asleep.In the picture, her eyes were closed, her expression peaceful.Victor

    What made it even more absurd was that Elijah bought into it, too.Tally couldn't believe Elijah couldn't see through Markus' façade. He actually bought into Markus' excuse that his behavior was all because of her.And now he was acting like he'd rather die than leave her."Fucking hell," Tally muttered inwardly. She wondered who came up with this messed-up plan for Markus.Clearly, Tally couldn't quite grasp how Markus' mental state could deteriorate like this. However, given his history of going insane, this outrageous plan didn't seem entirely implausible.He was perfectly fine when he was with Albert Group, so how did he end up like this back at Skyline Group?Tally just couldn't figure it out.Elijah shot her a sharp look, gritting his teeth as he said, "You, leave!"Zane hesitated, saying, "Sir, but…""Just let her leave!" Elijah insisted.Elijah's words were punctuated by short, hurried breaths.Tally nodded, saying, "Mr. Hunt Senior, you're indeed the more rational o

    Elijah and Zane glanced at each other. Then, their stares turned sharper as they both fixed their eyes on Tally.Tally swallowed nervously. "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?""You're not even married to Victor, so why are you calling yourself a married woman?" Elijah snapped, his anger evident.Tally remained silent.Observing Elijah's furious expression, she nonchalantly rummaged through her bag, retrieving the marriage certificate and wedding invitation.Then, she handed them over to Zane.Zane took the documents and swiftly flipped them open. His eyes widened in disbelief as he read through them.He promptly handed both documents over to Elijah.As Elijah took them and examined them, his expression darkened significantly upon seeing Tally and Victor's marriage certificate.He was shocked when he saw that their wedding date was today, along with the printed timestamp.In that instant, Elijah's breathing grew heavier.He glared at Tally with an

    Tally was completely baffled by what was happening."I've been straightforward about my feelings for him," Tally complained under her breath.From her perspective, if something were to happen to Markus now, she shouldn't be blamed solely for her decision to get married. Victor nodded, saying, "Yeah, I know."Victor had always been aware of this. By now, Markus had become such a puzzle that Victor couldn't quite figure him out.Considering how clear Tally had always been about her feelings toward Markus, it was puzzling how he got himself involved in this mess.This time, Victor didn't accompany Tally to the Hunt Residence. He believed she could handle the Hunt family on her own.The atmosphere at the Hunt residence was incredibly tense at the moment.The moment Tally stepped inside, she could practically feel the frost coming off Elijah. His gaze seemed to pierce right through her.Zane's tone was far from pleasant as he said, "Um, take a look at this."With that, he passed

    Tally was pretty happy a moment ago. But now, she was all worked up talking about the Hunts.Earlier on the road, Tally filled Victor in on the phone call she received from the Hunt residence.Victor's lips twitched as he heard the news. "So Markus left a suicide note and vanished?""Exactly. Can you believe the trouble he's stirring up now?" Tally shook her head incredulously.Tally was utterly exasperated with Markus by now. It had been a while since this whole thing started.She had to admit, these days had been incredibly "fulfilling" for her. It was so fulfilling that it almost left her reeling.And it wasn't just Tally struggling to keep up. Even Victor had been taken aback by how things were unfolding.He shot Tally a look of disbelief. "So you're going to the Hunt residence now?""Yeah, I'm going. I want those Hunts to know that I'm officially yours. Let's see if they have more shameless tricks up their sleeves."When it came to describing the Hunts, Tally summed it up

    Tally was beginning to see where Markus got his persistent nature from. It ran in the family. It was as the saying went—like father, like son.No sooner had she ended the call, the phone rang again.Tally took a deep breath, reminding herself that today was supposed to be a happy day, not one filled with annoyance.But dealing with these people…After giving it some thought, she hesitantly answered, "Zane!""Ms. Johnson, you might want to come over to the Hunt residence."Tally asked, "What's going on now?"She was almost out of patience with these people.Zane explained, "Mr. Markus left behind a suicide note."Tally's expression froze in disbelief.A suicide note? Tally couldn't comprehend what was happening. She wondered if Markus was pulling another one of his stunts.It had only been less than an hour since Elijah arranged his marriage, and now he went ahead and left a suicide note."Where is he?" Tally raised an eyebrow.With everything happening so quickly, it all f

    Looking at her identification papers, Tally let out a sigh of relief.Fortunately, Tally had some knowledge of her father's habits. Otherwise, guessing the password for the safe, which belonged to her comatose father, would have been a daunting task.When Irina called, Tally answered, "Hey, Irina.""Guess what? Markus is engaged!""What?" Tally was shocked.Irina shared her surprise."This time, it seems Mr. Hunt Senior might genuinely have it out for you. We haven't even made a move, and suddenly they're announcing Markus and Sarah's engagement.""Sarah?" Tally was even more surprised.It was only today that they found out who had been secretly admiring Markus. Before they could even step in, Elijah had taken the initiative.It seemed like all these years, Elijah appeared unconcerned, but he actually knew everything.But if he was dead set on hating her, then so be it. Tally couldn't care less.On the other hand, if Elijah truly desired for her and Markus to be together all

    Elijah said, "Very well, then."Thinking about his troublesome son, Elijah wondered how he hadn't noticed Markus' extremity in his romantic pursuits before.Elijah was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath.Giving Markus a fierce look, he tried to hold back. Despite that, he couldn't resist putting in one final word, "No matter how much you want to be with Tally, I won't allow it."This time, there was no room for negotiation.At Elijah's words, Markus' eyes turned cold. "I'm afraid you have no say in this.""You..." Elijah's breath hitched as he heard Markus' retort. In a fit of rage, he grabbed a teacup and hurled it toward him.At that moment, Elijah felt an overwhelming urge to lash out at Markus.Elijah insisted, "Regardless of your decision, you and Sarah are officially engaged starting today."His tone was unusually firm.At this point, Elijah wasn't asking for Markus' opinion. He was simply informing him.Regarding Tally becoming Elijah's daughter-in-law, Elijah

    Kathryn was confused when Jessica suddenly shoved her into the car and promptly closed the door. With her hand still gripping the door handle, Kathryn looked up at Jessica and suggested, "Uh, how about dinner tonight?"Upon hearing Kathryn's dinner suggestion, Jessica paused before nodding and responding, "Let's talk about it later. I'll give you a call."Jessica seemed really busy, and Kathryn could tell from the way she talked that she was in a rush.Kathryn couldn't help but feel for Jessica as she watched her close the car door and hurried off toward the nearby office building, waving goodbye as she went.Kathryn found herself wondering who Jessica was in such a rush to meet.Kathryn couldn't resist stealing a glance back as the car pulled away.
