"Emily.""Yeah?""You don't have to worry about this, okay?" Chris' distress was palpable in his voice. He clearly understood how his younger sister had become like this. In her early years, she had been a pure and guileless girl. It had been years since she last smiled. Chris yearned to cosset and love his sister like any other loving brother would. But Emily wouldn't smile or even ask for anything. She would keep her agony to herself and never show it to anyone.Her concealed pain remained a misery to everyone, as did her intentions.

Kathryn's mood was about to improve, but her expression suddenly stiffened."What a despicable person," she thought, "Couldn't he just let me be in a good mood for longer?"She didn't even have the mood to eat after he mentioned the medical check-up.Chris asked, "What is it?""Nothing." Kathryn's mood immediately soured. She was having rapid mood swings. Chris knew the reason. He smiled. "The check-up is good for your body.""I know. It's for our own good."That type of concern was the last thing she needed.Kathryn wanted to phone Tally, but Chris was always with her. She had no chance to do it. She didn't even know what she should do.It was 1:00 pm. The lunch break had just ended.When they returned to the company, the medical team had already arrived. They were collecting samples from the staff members for the check-up.Kathryn rushed to her secret spot when she had the chance. She phoned Tally immediately."Tally, what should I do now?

If Markus hadn't found out about the truth, who knows how long they'd keep trying to hide it?Chris smiled when he thought of Kathryn's nervous attitude around him. "That brat …"Markus was rendered speechless, pondering, "That brat? Is Chris nicknaming Kathryn now? Is it meant to be derogatory?" He was grateful Kathryn was the mystery woman.

Markus nodded."Forget about her for now," Chris said. He really had no plans to tell Kathryn for now.Markus nodded. "Got it!" Either way, Chris knew the truth, so his job was done. As for what the man had planned … Markus was about to leave when Chris spoke again. "Find out which hospital she's going to tomorrow. Then, bribe the doctor to tell her …""To tel

Cara smiled even more as she watched Kathryn's confused look. She assumed Chris had probably liked Kathryn for her cluelessness. "Mr. Chris phoned ahead for tonight's dinner. Everything here is a favorite dish of yours," she added.Kathryn was puzzled when she found out that Chris had asked Cara to make her favorite dishes. She pondered if he really was that kind. Kathryn couldn't believe it. After all, she was very aware of what Chris used to be like."Alright, go get Mr. Chris to eat," Cara said."Okay. I'll take this out for you." Kathryn grabbed a plate and headed outside. When she got to the living room, Chris was making a call on the couch.

"Don't do that," he said, then took the plate from her.Kathryn looked at Chris in disbelief and shock. Was he … caring about her? She refused to believe that. Chri

Whenever Grace thought about what the family was going through, she remembered Mia being the cause of it all. Why would she even want to see her right now?It was her fault Amelia was like this."I'm sorry, Aunt Grace. I was wrong," Mia sobbed pitifully. She didn't want to stay at a motel. She'd called her mother, but she said she was remarrying, so Mia couldn't go back for now.Mia had been planning to ask for money, but her mother had hung up before she could even finish her sentence. Her mother had always been unreliable. Why else would she have needed to rely on the Millers? Now that Grace was hellbent on kicking her out, she had nowhere to go."You were wrong? This mess isn't something you can fix just by saying that!""I know, I know," Mia said in agony. "Please forgive me, Aunt Grace. I swear, I won't do it again."The Millers had already been through enough as it was, so Grace didn't react nicely at all when she saw Mia crying. "Enough already! What are you crying for
