Victor pondered briefly after hearing Tally raising her voice. After a pause, he nodded. "I believe Markus truly did save us since he was adamant about it." Tally was speechless. She couldn't believe it. It would be truly unfortunate of her if that were the case."But it was because I called the police in the first place. How would he have found us if I hadn't?" Tally was reluctant to acknowledge that Markus had saved their lives. Her annoyance was palpable, a departure from her usual demeanor.Victor sighed. "Of course, of course. Whatever you say.""I will not be grateful to him or repay him for what he had done." Tally sounded extremely determined about it."Alright, anything you say." Victor knew it was best not to dispute his fiancée's stance in her current infuriated state. He understood that trying to reason with an angry woman was a futile endeavor.In Tally's eyes, Markus had become her enemy, and she expressed her grievances against him. On the other hand, Markus
Henry hadn't forgotten what Markus had said when Randall ended up in the hospital because of the latter. The fact that Markus seemed oblivious to why Tally harbored such strong resentment toward him was beyond belief.A throbbing headache accompanied Henry's contemplation of the situation.Upon hearing Henry's words, Markus shot him a look filled with disdain."Ms. Johnson was profoundly affected by it at that time," Henry stated calmly, trying to keep his composure. He aimed to prompt Markus to reflect on his actions. Surprisingly, Markus did calm down. His silence carried a depth of contemplation. Nobody knew what he was thinking.After a brief pause, just when Henry began to think Markus might drop the matter, he asked, "Are you suggesting she's still angry with me because of that?" Henry was momentarily taken aback. He sensed a glimmer of hope, surprised that Markus had finally grasped the situation. Considering Markus' recent behavior, Henry had doubted whether he woul
Markus snapped, "That woman doesn't give a hoot about her life. Am I supposed to let her ruin herself instead?"Henry was taken aback. Based on Markus' words, it seemed he intended to storm into Victor's ward and take Tally back. If that was the case, he had to stop Markus from making such a rash move. "H-Hold on a second. You can't go there.""Let go of me.""Mr. Byron said you have to stay calm no matter what happens, or you might lose your life." Henry was on the brink of tears.Before leaving Harborlean, Byron repeatedly emphasized that Henry had to ensure Markus' safety, implying that Markus should avoid provoking Victor. Henry was certain that going to Victor's ward now would spell doom for Markus. However, Markus had lost his mind, and Henry couldn't stop him. Markus rushed toward Victor's ward. Victor and Tally were talking to each other when he entered. They were holding hands, looking incredibly intimate.The scene triggered Markus' nerves instantly. His eyes were
Markus' breaths grew heavier. Tally, too, was taken aback. She recognized the sound. It was the same sound she had heard in the mountains the day before. Surprise washed over her as she realized Victor was armed. Anxiety set in as she met Victor's dangerous gaze. "V-Victor, calm down!""Are you now aware of how dangerous he is? Are you still determined to be with someone like him?" Markus spoke defiantly, seemingly unafraid of the imminent threat.Henry and Tally exchanged speechless glances, treating Markus as if he were a fool. Markus provoking Victor at this critical moment would only further irritate him. It wouldn't do him any good. Henry was utterly dumbfounded. Tally quickly said, "Hurry up and take him away! Are you going to let him die right here?"Henry immediately snapped back to reality and hurried toward Markus. "Mr. Hunt, I think we should leave.""Tally Johnson!" Markus gritted his teeth and growled, his tone and gaze suggesting a desire to tear Tally apart.
Tally replied, "It is. It's so painful."Tally was injured, yet Markus had treated her so roughly. Unable to fathom his odious behavior, Tally's frustration and resentment grew. "Stop moving around, okay?""How would I dare to move?" Tally's slight movements triggered intense pain. Her fury toward Markus even led her to contemplate slapping him. She believed that encountering someone like Markus would test even the patience of a mild-mannered woman. His actions had undeniably crossed a line.Once the doctor and nurse exited the ward, Tally turned to Victor. "Did you really intend to take his life just now?"Even though some time had passed, the memory still shook her, causing a noticeable tremble in her voice.Victor shook his head. "I'm not that reckless. I might've done it if it were in the past."Things were different now, after all. A person's attitude and behavior would truly change when they finally had someone they cared for.Tally felt relieved upon hearing that. She
Tally immediately answered the call, only to find Kathryn speaking anxiously on the other end. "Tally, where are you? Are you okay?" It seemed that Kathryn had found out what had happened to her. Tally's heart felt warm at Kathryn's evident worry, grateful that Kathryn cared about her. It seemed her efforts in caring for Kathryn hadn't gone unnoticed.Tally took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry. I'm okay.""How did you run into wolves? Did you get attacked by them? Are you injured?"Tally wasn't able to interject. "You must get an injection as well. Don't underestimate the viruses that the wild animals carry." Kathryn fired off a barrage of questions before Tally could elaborate.Tally was moved. "I told you I'm alright. Don't worry, okay?"Aware of Kathryn's preoccupation with Jessica's situation in the past few days, Tally hesitated to share her predicament upon waking up. To her surprise, Kathryn had found out."R-Really?""Why are you doubting me? Will I ever lie t
Tally had been so worried for Kathryn back then. Now that everything was fine, she didn't have to worry anymore.Kathryn said, "Yes, I can finally breathe. What happened terrified me."Waiting for suitable bone marrow was an agonizing experience. Jessica's condition was unstable. Kathryn felt troubled, especially when there were complications.Tally said, "Nothing else matters now. It's a good thing we found a suitable bone marrow."Kathryn hummed in acknowledgment. They continued chatting for a while before hanging up.Victor looked at Tally and asked, "Was that Kathryn on the phone?"Tally answered, "Yes, they've found a suitable bone marrow for Jessica. Now, she can finally relax."Tally saw how scrawny Kathryn was previously. She was worried Kathryn would collapse due to the troubles concerning Jessica. Now, she didn't need to worry about that anymore.Victor said, "Is the bone marrow from Krista?""Yes." Tally nodded.Victor added, "What a coincidence."Kathryn's moth
Both Krista and Kathryn remained oblivious to the doctor's surprise. They walked past him and headed toward the elevator without realizing his reaction.However, the doctor couldn't understand why they were leaving.Nevertheless, such aloof behavior was not uncommon among affluent families. No one could compel anyone to care if the sentiment wasn't naturally present.Kathryn followed Krista downstairs and watched her as she got into the car. "You can go back upstairs," Krista said."Okay.""Take good care of yourself. If it's hard to manage, I will bring food for both of you.""You don't need to trouble yourself. It's too much work." Kathryn shook her head.Krista replied, "Not at all. I insist. It's not healthy eating takeout all the time."Kathryn was rendered speechless.Krista didn't wait for Kathryn's reply. She closed the car door and left. She didn't want to hear Kathryn turning her down. She wished to serve Kathryn the best in the world on a silver platter. She wante
