However, Florence, sensing Jonathan’s intent to disconnect, hastily interjected. “Mr. Lawson, please don’t hang up yet. I have something important to discuss
Jonathar semained silent, his brows furrowed, holding the phone.
He had never encountered someone as persistently bothersome as Florence and was far from fond of her repeated overtures. If not for her status as the Shelton Family heiress, he would have ceased giving her any regard
“I would like to invite Mr. Lawson to my brother’s funeral. I hope you won’t refuse,” she proposed.
Jonathan’s frown deepened.
He wanted nothing to do with the Shelton Family, despite their significant standing in Northland, capable of swaying both lawful and unlawful realms.
Considering Florence’s dubious intentions, he simply stated, “I will need to consider it.”
Florence, detecting his reluctance, didn’t press further and ended the call after light banter.ng this, Florence didn’t push him further, joked a bit, and then hung up the phone.
Aware of the funeral in three days, he saw no need to rush a decision and went to rest in his office suite.
Meanwhile. Angela, having safely arrived at the Northland outskirts, promptly informed Jonathan and then slept until late at night, when she received his response.
up late working.
Waking early the next day, she noticed the time of his message and, suspecting he was up called him before her test.
Their brief conversation was filled with mutual care, leaving a faint smile on their lips post–call. Angela handed her phone to Oliver before entering the test site with Yaxley, feeling slightly nervous.
“Relax. Yaxley comforted as they approached their separate test stations.
Angela, stabilizing her emotions, methodically proceeded through the test, exhaling in relief only after completing the final step.
On the other side, Fanny skipped school to visit Christopher, knowing where he lived but shocked by his battered appearance at the door.
“What happened to your face. Christopher?” she exclaimed, catching the unprepared Christopher off guard.
Without a mask, given his facial injuries, he had taken leave from school to recover at home, not expecting Fanny’s visit.
With no place to hide his condition, he reluctantly let her in, saying, “Don’t worry, Fanny, I’ll explain
slowly.”
Although he said he would tell her slowly, he was actually very anxious and didn’t know how to say it.

Facing Fanny eyes full of concern, he felt the same heartache.
Fanny said, “Christopher, take your time.”
She choked up, tears welling in her eyes as she looked at Christopher.
Recalling the despicable woman Florence, Christopher informed Fanny of what happened last night, but he did not mention Jane and Harley.
Upon learning that Christopher had been beaten at the bar, Fanny suddenly asked, “Christopher, why were you at the bar?”
Christopher had not mentioned Jane and Harley before, so he awkwardly didn’t know whether to bring it
up
Seeing his dilemma, Fanny immediately said, “Christopher, if you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t.” “Sorry, Fanny, but don’t worry, you’re the only one in my heart,” Christopher assured, skirting further explanation. His focus was on maintaining Jane’s help in finding a kidney donor.
He had informed Michael of his promising interaction with Jane and her positive perception of him..
Pleased with his tact, Michael, in a good mood, noncommittally agreed to help when Christopher hinted about a friend needing a kidney transplant.
Though the commitment seemed perfunctory, he knew his father would keep an eye out.
Fanny frowned unconsciously upon hearing his words.
Recalling the numerous tests she underwent at the hospital the previous day, she felt physically fine but couldn’t shake a sense of unease, suspecting something might be wrong with her health.
Seeing Christopher in such a state only added to her worries.
Just as she was about to speak, her brother Joseph’s call came through.
“Fanny! Mom’s awake.”
Joseph’s voice, brimming with unhidden joy, conveyed the news.
Scarlet had awakened!
Fanny burst into tears of joy. “Really?”
Christopher, overhearing Joseph’s words, felt more surprised than joyful.
Urgency gripped Fanny, and after ending the call, she hurried to leave for the hospital.
“Christopher, Ineed to see my mom at the hospital,” she said while rushing out.
Considering his battered appearance, Christopher suppressed his desire to accompany her and replied, “Fanny, I won’t go now. I’ll visit your mother another day.”
Understanding his condition, she reassured him. “Christopher, you rest at home. I’ll visit mom and come

back to take care of you later.”
Her offer was more out of politeness, knowing Christopher’s likely refusal.

”
Indeed, Christopher, appreciating her concern, simply said, “We’ll talk about it later. Go see your mother first,” and saw her out.
Meanwhile, at Jonathan’s company.
Florence, flanked by several bodyguards, entered the building and headed straight for the elevators.
“Miss, may I ask who you are looking for?” the receptionist approached, attempting to intercept her.
Florence’s bodyguards swiftly moved to block the receptionist, prompting the company’s security staff to
intervene.
As the bodyguards seemed ready to force their way through, Florence clapped her hands, signaling them to stop, then casually stated, “I’m here to see Mr. Lawson.”
Bolstered by the presence of security, the receptionist gathered the courage to inquire, “Do you have an appointment, miss?”
“Appointment?” Florence laughed lightly. “I. Florence Shelton, don’t need appointments to meet people.”
With a glance to her bodyguard, they were about to confront the security when the receptionist intervaned, “Please calm down; I’ll contact Mr. Lawson for you.”
Florence, smirking, ordered her men to stand down, saying, “Tell Mr. Lawson, Florence Shelton is here.”
She wouldn’t have chosen this approach if her calls to Jonathan had gone through. Impatient by nature, she disliked waiting
