202. Who Is On The Line?
Hearing what Olga said, Mrs. Brett chuckled softly. She had not expected such words from Olga, but since they had already been spoken, she felt obliged to respond.She shook her head slowly, then lifted her gaze to meet Olga’s eyes. Her voice was calm, clear, and deliberate as she spoke.“You have misunderstood my words, Olga. What I said was not meant in the way you are taking it. It was simply a word of advice. I made that utterance not because I wished for it to happen, but so your daughter would be careful and understand what her actions could lead to. I did not wish her death, nor would I ever wish such a thing upon her. I am not the kind of person who makes such wishes.”She paused briefly, then continued, her tone firm but composed.“So I am curious, what exactly do you want me to say? I have already given an example of what I want your daughter to be fully aware of. If she is truly as intelligent as she claims to be, then she should be able to gain at least a little wisdom fro
201. Confronted!
Chloe fell silent. Words abandoned her, leaving her unsure of what to say or how to react. Aria had caught her completely off guard. Never had she imagined Aria would speak with such authority, or stand so boldly, or even dare to grab her hand like this.She tried to pull free, but Aria’s grip remained firm. Their eyes locked. In Aria’s stare, Chloe saw raw anger burning beneath the surface, mixed with a fierce determination. It was the kind of look that warned of consequences, the kind that made Chloe feel as though a slap would follow if the right thing was not done.Aria refused to let go.Panic and pride collided in Chloe’s chest. Without thinking, she snapped a warning, her voice sharp and trembling at the same time.“Let go of me!”Yet Aria remained adamant, refusing to loosen her grip. Chloe repeated herself, her voice rising with irritation.“I said let go! You wouldn’t want us to start another fight here, right?”Despite the warning, Aria did not release her. Her fingers stay

Everyone stared in awe, their eyes fixed on Mrs. Brett, all of them waiting to see what she would do next.Would she really do what they expected? Would she obey Chloe and take back the blessing?Many already believed she would. After all, Chloe had clearly reminded her of the promise she made earlier.As these thoughts lingered in the air, Mrs. Brett stepped forward. She blinked slowly at Chloe, her gaze sharp and unreadable.“You repeated that?” she asked calmly. “That I should take back my blessing, yes?”Chloe nodded without hesitation, her chin lifted proudly.“Yes. Take it back. Take back your damn blessing. Wasn’t that what you promised to do earlier if I did what you asked?” she snapped. “Now that I’ve played my part, how about you go ahead and play yours?”At that moment, Mrs. Brett burst into laughter.It came suddenly and loudly, cutting through the silence like a blade. Did she really hear that right?Chloe wanted her to take back the blessing she had given to Tyler and Ar

“That’s not even supposed to be a question, Mr. Leonard,” the doctor said firmly.Previously, Zack had asked where they could find a good Divine Doctor, and that was the doctor’s immediate response.“In my eighteen years as a medical doctor and surgeon, I’ve met many people. Many patients like your mother who couldn’t be saved medically but survived through the help of a Divine Doctor. The doctor continued. “Getting one is not easy, though. Only your money and influence will count. But seeing the kind of person you are, Mr. Leonard, a rich man with plenty of connections, a Divine Doctor shouldn’t be a problem for you.”Zack agreed. The doctor was right.He was an influential man, and normally, getting a Divine Doctor wouldn’t be difficult for him.He had even worked with many of them in the past, but all the ones he knew lived outside the country.They were international Asian Divine Doctors, none from Sarto.That was the exact reason he asked where he could find one.

Zack couldn’t believe what he was hearing.His mother had developed End-Stage Dilated Cardiomyopathy.But how?

Those were strictly designed to protect against heart diseases. Yet right now, the doctor was telling him she had Dilated Cardiomyopathy.He stared at the doctor, disbelief tightening his jaw.“Are you sure of what you’re saying, Doc?” Zack asked, needing confirmation. “My mother has no reason to be sick to the point of having only two days left. She has been on an Elixir of Life and strong medications that have kept her fit for years. So why now? Why DCM?”The doctor adjusted his glasses. “Some medical terms can be quite confusing, Mr. Leonard,” he replied calmly. “But what you must understand is that some medicines are not life-assuring.
