Chapter 76
When the Christensen family moved to Capital City. Hancock didn’t have the slightest clue about their background. He assumed they were another wealthy family of no particular note, so he spoke his mind without reservation.
“Perhaps Dr. Lyons doesn’t realize there’s always a bigger fish,” Karen’s voice carried a chill.
Hancock turned to look at Karen. “Well then, I wish you a speedy recovery and many more. years to come. But let me be frank. If you regret this decision and want to call me back, that opportunity won’t come.”
“Don’t worry. I never regret anything I say or do!”
“Very well, I’ll remember that! And you should remember your words today, too!” He couldn’t believe anyone else could cure her cold syndrome!
Karen would regret it in less than a month! But by then, her regret would be pointless!
With that, Hancock walked away.
Adah was beside herself with worry, about to chase after Hancock.
Karen gripped Adah’s hand. “Leave him be.”
Adah,sighed. “But Karen, your health…”
“I’m fine. We still have Ann,” Karen reassured her, patting Adah’s hand.
Adah had no choice but to let it go, although she had little faith in Anthea’s remedies. She planned to wait for Karen’s anger to subside before seeking out Hancock again.

Rebecca sat near the window at the coffee shop, seemingly waiting for someone, her gaze frequently drifting outside.
Before long, a young woman with a flawless makeup look approached, led by a server.
“Luna,” Rebecca greeted her with a smile.
“Sorry, I’m late,” Luna apologized.
“No big deal. We’re close. I ordered your favorite cappuccino and almond biscotti,” Rebecca said softly.

In Rebecca’s memories of her past life, Luna was a big shot.

name internationally!
So, after her rebirth, Rebecca wasted no time trying to make Luna her ally.
Rebecca had even saved Luna before, earning her deep trust.
After some small talk, Rebecca got to the point. “How are things with the Black family? Do you still need Anos?”
Luna hesitated before sharing the news about Anthea treating Tammie’s illness in the Black family.
Rebecca looked up in surprise. “Anthea? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
Since when did Anthea have medical skills? What was going on? Had Anthea truly changed?
Rebecca’s mind raced.
Luna nodded. “I’m sure it was Anthea. Here, this is the prescription she wrote. Can you check if there’s anything wrong with it?” Although Luna thought the prescription looked fine, she remained concerned. What if she missed something?
It was better to be cautious with these things.
Rebecca took the prescription and scanned it with her system.
A moment later, her face broke into a smile. “Relax,” she said, “this prescription is useless for Anos Syndrome.” She knew her concerns were unfounded. How could a nobody have medical expertise?
Anthea had been nothing but a waste of space in the Morris family. Back in that slum, she was still beneath Rebecca’s contempt.
Anthea was destined to be nothing more than a lowly mistress‘ offspring in this life.
