Axel said, "Once you''ve had enough of this game, return it to me."


    Roza''s eyes wavered as she felt that the badge in her hand was particrly dazzling, resembling a star.


    Although Be and Justin had won the battle and were rejuvenated by the victory, their minds and spirits had been tense over the past few days. Once they rxed, they felt physical and mental fatigue. All they wanted was to head home swiftly and copse into bed for a peaceful night''s sleep.


    As soon as they got into the car, Justin''s phone rang.


    Be nced at it and saw that it was a call from Ryan. She couldn''t help but feel her heart tightening. "Justin, answer it quickly. I''m afraid something might have happened to Carrie!" Justin furrowed his brows slightly and answered, "Ryan, what''s wrong?"


    "Justin, are you with Be at the moment?" Ryan sounded really worried, and his voice was shaky. "Can you guyse over to my ce now? Carrie has been crying nonstop because of Shannon''s situation... I can''t really console her. I''m afraid she''ll fall sick if this continues! Can you pleasee by? She''s closest to Be. Maybe Be can helpfort her?"


    The couple hurriedly made their way to Ryan''s house. From a distance, they could see Yasmin already standing at the door, waiting patiently.


    "Yasmin, how is Carrie? And where''s Ryan?"


    Be and Justin hurried over to her, holding hands and looking concerned.


    Yasmin was usually calm and collected, but now she looked really worried. "Mr. Salvador, Ms. Thompson, you''re here atst... Young Madam''s not doing well. It seems like her illness has rpsed." Upon hearing the word "rpsed", it pained both of them deeply.


    "Young Madam used to listen to Young Master Hoffman the most, but even he couldn''t persuade her this time... I''m really afraid something will happen to her."


    Yasmin was visibly emotional, expressing real worry for her boss. "You guys don''t understand. The Young Master has done everything he can, but I''ve never seen him so worried and lost before." The more Be listened, the more distressed she felt. She hurried toward the vi.


    "Carrie! Carrie! Please stop crying... Don''t cry anymore!"

    Carrie was curled up in the corner of the living room, crouching on the ground with her hands tightly clenched She was trembling uncontrobly and sobbing inconsbly, her small face as as wax paper, and her once clear, doe-like eyes now swollen shut.

    Ryan crouched down in front of her, embracing her tightly. His dark shirt was rumpled, and there were stains of blood on his face from where she had inadvertently scratched him during her outburst. "Just please stop crying... I''ll do anything! Whatever it takes!"


    "Mom... I want to see my mom..." Carrie''s lips trembled, and her voice was hoarse.


    Ryan''s crimson eyes narrowed sharply. "No, that''s not possible."


    "Why not?! My mom is dying... Can''t I at least visit her before it''s toote? Can''t I?!" Carrie protested, pushing the man she deeply cared for away with all her might.


    "Shannon killed Justin''s mother. She''s a heartless murderer! Why would you even want to see someone like her?!"Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    Ryan''s eyes were bloodshot, and for the first time, he shouted at her with such intensity that even he didn''t expect it toe to this. "Has she ever looked after you when you were little? Has she ever treated you like her own daughter and cared for you?! Some people don''t deserve to be called mothers, even if they were the ones who gave birth to you!"


    "But... She''s dying!"
