Christopher sat upright the moment the call got through.


    "Sir..."


    "It must be midnight there, Mr. Iverson. Why aren''t you in bed yet?"


    The person who answered the call was rice.


    Christopher was surprised. "Ms. Amaryllis?"


    "It''s morning here in Meridan. He is a guest at the Reeds'' ce and doesn''t have time to take your call."


    rice''s perky voice bore disdain. "You can just let me know what you want to say, and I''ll ry the message."


    Christopher frowned and clenched his fists.


    Despite serving the man tirelessly for so many years, Christopher still felt a void within him and an invisible barrier between himself and the man. He doubted whether the man even regarded him as a confidant.


    Yet rice managed to gain the man''s trust in a short amount of time. She could even take his personal calls.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    The man, wise and strong as he was, lost himself to a woman.


    "If there''s nothing you want to talk about, I should get back to him, Mr. Iverson." rice had no patience for Christopher.


    "I have given the medicine to Ms. Thompson, and she has epted it.”


    "Oh, that''s great. Congrattions. Ms. Thompson epted something of yours for once." rice mocked.


    Christopher seemed hesitant. "There''s nothing wrong with the drug, right?"


    "Hahaha. Are you doubting him, Mr. Iverson?"


    ????


    rice sneered, "Do you think he has nothing better to do? He only stepped in because you asked. Otherwise, Be would''ve gotten together with Justin a long time ago and had more children than they could count. You wouldn''t stand a chance to win her.


    "Oh, I forgot. Justin had his way with Be, and she lost her uterus. She can''t give birth anymore. Hahaha."


    Christopher''s clenched fist shook violently. "Show some respect, Ms. Amaryllis. Be is the love of my life. She has never upset you."


    "How do you know she never upset me?" rice''s voice turned menacing.


    "What?"


    "Haha. I''m just kidding. The drug will work wonders on Wyatt, even better than the Larsons'' developed drug. You have nothing to worry about.


    Once he gets better, the let


    will be grateful to you. You can''te on strong to Be.


    to take things slow. Shte


    it and change her attitude once you help save her father."


    rice hung up before Christopher could say anything.


    Christopher hid his pale face in the darkness, biting his lip until it bled.


    The morning soon arrived.


    Upon learning the truth, none of the Thompsons could sleep. They kept by Wyatt''s side, their eyes bloodshot from theck of rest.


    Celeste, Sasha, and Amelia came to the hospital with breakfast, but no one had the appetite to eat. They sat there, waiting for the test results.


    In Justin''s jacket, Be sat still on the chair for hours on end. She did not slouch in the slightest.


    Justin textedn and Ryan to see if


    they had other ways to tackle the issue. He only enlisted help from someone he trusted due to the severity of the matter.


    All Justin could do was keep Bepany and hold her cold hand tightly in his grasp.
