"There's no risk of infection as long as he's not with me. He'll have a happy and fulfilling family in the future, with adorable and healthy children."Evan sneered. "Everyone has the right to choose their own future. Your intention may seem good, but it's actually selfish.""Selfish? How am I selfish? I'm doing this for him!" Paige looked at him in astonishment."You claim you're doing it for him, but you've never considered his mood and wishes," Evan said with a sneer.Paige sniggered. "Is he willing to live with me, surrounded by medicine for the rest of his life? Will he endure his family's opposition for me and choose me at all times? Can he guarantee that we won't argue because of this issue once we're together?"Evan replied, "Firstly, your illness is not a result of your own actions. Alex is aware of that, so he won't argue with you. In fact, he will take care of you because of it."You may ask him in person for the other two questions. He is determined and willing to do
Evan went along with her. "No."Alex remained silent for a brief moment before finally speaking up. "Please tell me if you have any information about her.""Hmm.""Also, how's your situation there? When... are you coming back?" Alex took a deep breath, composing himself."A few more days. I can't be sure of the time to leave yet," Evan replied."Evan... frankly... Caroline..."The mention of Caroline tightened Evan's chest with anxiety. He sensed something was amiss with Alex's hesitation.Frowning, Evan asked, "What's going on with Carol?"Alex gnashed his teeth. "Nothing. It's just that if you don't come back, you might not be able to appease her in the future."Evan's expression turned solemn. "I will apologize to her properly, but she won't take my call nor reply to my text."Alex remarked, "I would ignore you, too."Evan was rendered speechless."Alright, I'm going inside now!" Alex said."Hmm."After ending the call, Evan found himself preoccupied with thoughts of C
Alan glanced at his phone and answered the incoming call."Mr. Hendrix! Last night, I successfully breached the opposing party's firewall and stumbled upon a confidential document!" Alan declared in Ylesirese.Hector's expression darkened as he retorted, "How dare you take matters into your own hands without my orders?!"Alan hesitated for a moment before responding. "Mr. Hendrix, I just want to help."Seating himself on the sofa, Hector asked, "What kind of confidential document is it?""It's about brain-machine interface technology! Worried about potential tracking, I withdrew after a brief examination," Alan explained."Brain-machine interface? Have you seen this document before?" Hector asked."No, this is the first time! I checked, and obtaining a patent for it is highly challenging, Mr. Hendrix. MK is the sole company working on this technology! Acquiring it would be highly beneficial for you!" Alan exclaimed.Hector acknowledged, "Indeed."As the echoes of his voice fad
Axel fixated on the man's photo and the accompanying information. "Alan Jay?""Who's this? Is he the mastermind?" Tyler shared Axel's bewilderment."Is the foreigner the mastermind? I doubt it," Axel expressed skepticism.Tyler instructed Axel, "Call him and check if he knows Alan Jay while I continue going through the files."Axel understood who Tyler was referring to and swiftly dialed Evan's number.-Meanwhile, Evan had just arrived at the company.Rowan informed him that they had successfully traced the opposing party's location.As he entered the IT department, Evan's phone rang. He hesitated for a moment before picking up Axel's call."Axel," Evan said while walking into the department.Axel asked, "Daddy, do you know someone by the name of Alan Jay?""Mr. Jordan!"A man called out to Evan just as Axel's voice faded.Evan's attention shifted to Rowan. "What's the situation?""We've located the precise spot. We planned to extract information from his computer, but i
Upon hearing Yuliana's remark, Evan immediately instructed Rowan, "Get Reuben to find this person!"Rowan promptly replied, "Yes, sir!"Yuliana said, "There's something else. Elvira is acquainted with Scott! I've confirmed that Elvira was the woman leaving Scott's place. They were speaking Spanish, and I couldn't understand their conversation."She then added, "She addressed Scott as 'boss'."Yuliana murmured in realization, "Does that mean Scott is likely to be Mr. Hendrix?"Anxiously, she continued, "Hold on, I can see Elvira!"The crowd held their breaths.Tyler asked, "Where are you?"Yuliana lowered her voice. "I'm in an old apartment opposite Alan's residence."Tyler reacted with a twitch of his lips, asking, "How did you get in there?"Peeking out from behind the curtain, Yuliana explained, "I'll tell you next time. Elvira is not bringing any food this time…"Evan instructed, "Wait there, and I'll get Reuben to send someone over immediately. You may leave when the peo
Evan and the two children stood in shock upon hearing the voice.Yuliana, in an old woman's voice, exclaimed, "Fine then! Why are you still messing around with women at your age? How did those women seduce you?"Switching to an old man's voice, she continued. "Stop slandering me when you don't even have the evidence!""Don't think that I haven't seen it! People are talking about it, and I hear it!""You're impossible!""How dare you still flirt around at your age, you old geezer! I'm telling your so— daughter!"Elvira stopped outside after hearing the quarrel. She pondered for a moment and grabbed her phone to check the resident's information. After reading it, she felt relieved—the apartment belonged to an old married couple indeed.She turned and walked downstairs, convinced that everything was fine.Yuliana was relieved that Elvira was leaving.Yuliana breathed out in relief. "All is well, she's gone. I met the family before, or else I would have exposed myself."The two c
"What is it? Can I see?" Kenny asked.Tyler nodded.Unable to grasp their conversation, Liora sat on the sofa to enjoy the cake Kenny had bought.Kenny and Neil positioned themselves on both sides of the bed, attentively listening to the children's explanations while glancing at the laptop.Tyler and Axel then presented their findings and recounted the incident witnessed by Yuliana.Upon finishing, Neil and Kenny wore displeased expressions."If that is the case, Scott is definitely Mr. Hendrix!" Kenny exclaimed.Axel countered, "We don't have any evidence, Uncle Kenny.""What evidence do you need? Elvira addressed him as 'boss'! In fact, Yuliana found Elvira leaving Scott's place in the middle of the night!" Kenny was livid."That's true. Yulia sent me the voice recording of their conversation. It's highly possible that Mr. Hendrix is Scott!" Neil's gaze was solemn.Neil promptly called Yuliana, thinking, 'Since she listened to Alan and Elvira's conversation, there must be s
Liora pursed her lips tightly and looked at Neil with concern. "Are you sure you want to go?""Yes," Neil replied firmly.Kenny echoed Neil's sentiment. "Yes. We have to go and resolve the issue among us!"Liora glanced at the deepening dark cloud on Kenny's forehead again, wondering what it was. She was anxious as she didn't know how else to make them believe her."Then you must protect yourselves well," Liora reminded them.Kenny and Neil nodded before leaving the ward in search of Scott.Once the door was closed, Tyler frowned and looked at Liora. "Did you find something wrong, Lia?"After a brief trance, Liora nodded. "Yeah. There's a voice inside my head asking me to make them stay.""Are you tired?" Axel asked. "You didn't rest much these two days. Maybe Mommy's accident has affected you. Would you like me to play with you a bit?""Ugh… okay," Liora agreed.-Neil and Kenny got into a car in the hospital parking lot, and Kenny called Scott.It rang for a long while be
