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.

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.
