Markus saw how relentlessly Tally stomped him down. He was practically a few feet under the ground by now.Markus' breath quickened. "Okay, just you wait, Tally! You won't be this ruthless any longer.Tally scowled and said nothing. Ruthless?She needed to be ruthless to someone like him.Tally developed this instinct over time—she had to be ruthless toward this man.Tally stared at Markus, who was at a loss for words in anger. She didn't want to entertain him anymore and left with Irina.When they exited the Albert Group, Irina tugged on Tally's sleeve. She looked confused. Tally stopped in her tracks and looked at her. "What's up?""I don't think you said it right earlier.""What do you mean?" Tally didn't understand.She said a lot of things to that bastard, Markus. Where did she misspoke?Irina coughed dryly. "A successful insult is to call the other person a bitch, not calling yourself a bitch."Tally was rendered speechless.Needless to say, Markus gained nothing fr
Concurrently, the word "wife" triggered Markus. He glared at Chris as he suppressed the rage in his heart.Men were different after they got married.Markus was livid but couldn't unleash it in front of Chris.Eventually, he left unwillingly.They exited the Albert Group. Henry followed behind him, terrified. "Are we letting this slide?"Letting it slide?This piece of land had always been considered in the Skyline Group's planning. Chris knew this fact, too.Plus, he didn't say he wouldn't sell it to the Skyline Group.So, Markus was certain the deal was sealed with Byron's visit.He never expected such a turn of events!They considered everything. Yet, they never considered that Chris' wife was Tally's best friend.They never thought Chris would spoil Kathryn this much."Hmph, let it slide!"Markus scoffed. Mockery riddled his tone.Henry's heart was practically at his throat when he heard his tone. What was the meaning of this?…Someone was more upset than Markus.
Benjamin didn't spare his tone.The results he showed them stated Kathryn was Krista's daughter.The report he retrieved said otherwise. There was no room for error since Chris gave the sample to them.So, someone must have tampered with the results.Benjamin was befuddled.He lost his mood to think about anything else. What was the point of his persistence if Kathryn and Krista's DNA matched?Yet, there was a missing piece—who in the Winchester family tampered with the results?Wouldn't they wish to have their sister home safely?"Travis, I have a feeling that something is off. Chris must be hiding something from us!"Travis listened intently."He hesitated when he said Kathryn was Krista's daughter. Why would he hesitate if it was the truth?"Things were more complicated than it seemed.Yet, it didn't take long for Benjamin to piece the puzzle together.Chris' attitude indicated that Kathryn was somehow related to the Winchester family.Plus, the sample was from Kathryn
Byron wanted to meet Markus at his office when he returned to the company in the afternoon. However, Markus was not around.He wanted to vent the anger he had held in for a long time. Yet, there was no outlet to do so.When Jonathan walked into his office, he could sense that something was off. "Did you look for me?"Byron asked, "Do you have the psychologist's number? The one that is treating Jessica's daughter.""I do." Jonathan nodded.They were the ones who arranged for the psychologist. They definitely had his number.It would make sense if he asked about Jessica. Now, he was concerned for her daughter too.What was going through his mind?Shouldn't he prioritize the piece of land in Flourean?He knew Markus was the reason the Johnson Group snatched the land away.Markus was away because he wanted to get that piece of land back.Getting it back wasn't a sure win. They knew handling Tally's tantrum was no easy feat.Byron massaged his aching temple. He said, "Check how
"Mom, you're awake. How do you feel? Do you feel any discomfort?"Kelly bombarded Jessica with a series of questions when she noticed Jessica was awake.Jessica's eyes glistened instantly as she heard Kelly choking on her tears. "Why are you crying? Don't cry, darling.""Mom!" Kelly's tears streamed down her face profusely.She had never seen Kelly cry like this.Kathryn saw what happened and quickly enveloped the little girl in a hug. "It's alright, Kelly. Everything is fine.""What happened to me?" Jessica saw that Kathryn was still there.Jessica was clueless as to how long she had been out for."You had a persistent high fever. Do you feel any discomfort?" Kathryn asked with concern."I feel weak," Jessica said frailly.Other than that, she didn't feel any other symptoms.To her, this frail feeling was undoubtedly the symptom of the common cold.Kathryn nodded. "You don't have to think about anything now. Get good sleep, will you?""Please take good care of Kelly for t
The doctor saw how lost Kathryn was and pointed at a few items on the report.Then, he said to her, "The current test results show that these indexes are higher than average. We suspect that the patient has acute leukemia."Kathryn was rendered speechless. She was mindblown. Her pupils constricted as she looked at the doctor. Her face gradually drained of color.Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something. Yet, no words came out of her mouth.Acute leukemia?Kathryn knew fairly well how detrimental this disease was. This disease was frightening and fatal.Why Jessica, of all people?She looked at the doctor as she felt her throat closing in. "Leukemia?""Yes. You need to allow the patient to go through more comprehensive checks. Then, we can discuss what the appropriate treatment is for her."Kathryn shuddered at that response.The doctor suggested a more comprehensive check and treatment plan. These were familiar yet terrifying to hear.The doctor said the same thi
Byron looked at Jonathan, who walked in from his cubicle. "Have you called Jessica this afternoon?""I have not." Jonathan shook his head.Was it urgent?He looked at how gradually sullen Byron's face turned. He thought it wasn't an urgent matter. Now, he was shaken.Then again, Byron expected everything he said to be done as soon as possible. He set high standards for work efficiency.Byron didn't wait for Jonathan to explain himself. He scolded, "Check what is happening with Jessica now."Jonathan was rendered speechless.Was it that urgent?He nodded immediately. "I'll do it right now."Then, he turned around and left.Byron was left alone. His heart felt incredibly tense. The feeling felt strange to him. This frustrated him.…Meanwhile, Kathryn leaned against the hospital's wall. Her face was ashen. The hand that held her phone trembled profusely.Her face was full of tears. She looked helpless.When Chris rushed over, he saw how devastated she was. He quickened his
Chris and Kathryn were perplexed at Byron's arrival.Chris asked him, "Byron, what are you doing here?"He only told Byron about Jessica's situation when he was on his way here. Why did Byron appear at the hospital of all places?As a fellow man, Chris saw through Byron's intentions.He instinctively looked at Kathryn.Yet, she was consumed by her sadness. She didn't bother to care why Byron was at the hospital.She assumed Byron had come to visit someone.Byron replied, "I'm here to see a friend."Chris was rendered speechless. A friend? Pfft!He nodded without saying anything else. "We have an urgent situation to handle, so we'll be going now."Then, he left with Kathryn.Byron's face darkened when he heard how urgent the situation was.Jessica was in the hospital ward. She felt much better after her fever had subsided.She was awake when Kathryn came back."You're still here, Kat.""Yeah, I went to see the doctor for the results." Kathryn held her wavering emotions in
