A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession

Jasmine was getting more and more annoyed with Katelyn.

She thought Katelyn was so mean and she really regretted agreeing to help Katelyn.

Katelyn heard the ridicule in Jasmine's words and was about to explain when Jasmine stood up as if she wanted to see them off.

"Now that Marina's problem has been solved, you should leave as soon as possible. As you said, my granddaughter-in-law is quite petty. I'm afraid that if you stay here longer, she won't even come to visit me. Then it'll be a great loss for me," said Jasmine.

Katelyn knew she couldn't stay here any longer, and a flash of embarrassment crossed her face.

Although she had cursed Jasmine in her heart a thousand times, she still smiled reluctantly.

She pretended not to notice Jasmine's disgust towards her and said with false enthusiasm, "Since the matter has been settled, we won't bother you any longer. Jasmine, we'll leave now. On your birthday, I'll prepare a generous gift and thank you for your help."

After saying that, she left with Marina in disgrace.

Jasmine didn't even look at Katelyn from beginning to end.

David shook his head and sighed while saying, "I'm afraid your cousin is up to no good this time. We have to be careful with her in the future."

Jasmine frowned and ordered the servant to throw away the slippers they had just worn. Then, she said fretfully, "I was blinded by her yesterday. How dare she come to my house to clamor? I won't let her step into my home in the future."

At this time, Marina and Katelyn, who had just walked outside, were standing on the side of the road waiting for a taxi because they didn't have a car.

Before the taxi came, they saw a servant of the Sullivan family throw out slippers that they had just worn.

Marina was so angry that she stamped on the ground and said, "Grandma, what do they mean?"

She thought, 'They actually threw away the things we had touched before we went far, which clearly showed their disgust.

'This is so humiliating. They can do whatever they want just because they have money?'

Katelyn's hand on her crutch was also trembling. She had never been so insulted her whole life.

She was so offended.

If it weren't for that she needed to rely on the prominence of the Sullivan family, she would never be so humble.

Katelyn turned around to calm Marina down.

"Calm down. Don't let this affect our purpose of coming back," said Katelyn.

Under Katelyn's gaze, Marina gradually calmed down.

Marina thought, 'Yes, I still want to work in the Sullivan Group, so I can't turn against that old woman now.

'I still hope that I can pursue the person I like after gaining a firm foothold here.

'Calm down. I have to calm down.'

Then, they waited in the cold wind for nearly half an hour before a taxi arrived.

The two of them left in a mess.

Meanwhile, Cynthia came to the hospital again to check Anthony's condition.

Isabella brought Theodore over and happened to be talking with Anthony. Seeing Cynthia coming, she hurriedly got up and made room for her. Cynthia put down the things in her hands first. Instead of checking Anthony immediately, she reached out and picked up Theodore on the ground. "Little guy, do you still remember me?" Cynthia pressed her face close to Theodore's intimately and sniffed him.

This time, Theodore was probably mentally prepared so he didn't cry.

With Cynthia's movement, he even giggled and kept moving his little hands and feet.

Cynthia found such a cute child so irresistible, and she didn't want to let him go.

Isabella was also very happy. In fact, Theodore had been staying in the cabin and seldom contacted people outside, so he was a little shy with strangers.

He had never been so defenseless against someone that he had only met once before.

Cynthia teased Theodore for a while and then began today's examination and acupuncture.

Isabella watched and mentioned Anthony's condition yesterday, "Ms. Larson, his reaction was getting stronger and stronger yesterday. Is he about to wake up? Besides..." Then Isabella suddenly stopped.

Cynthia noticed Isabella had stopped. Cynthia raised her head curiously and saw Isabella's expression was a little awkward and Isabella's cheeks were flushing slightly. "What's wrong?" Cynthia asked confusedly.

Isabella knew that she couldn't hide anything from Cynthia at this point. After thinking for a while, she braced herself and said, "When I scrubbed his body yesterday, he was aroused, which has never happened before." After saying that, Isabella looked away and felt uncomfortable.

Cynthia blinked her eyes and realized what Isabella was talking about.

This kind of thing was normal for doctors, but Isabella's shyness made Cynthia a little embarrassed as well.

After all, they knew each other too well, and it was embarrassing to talk about this kind of thing publicly.

"If it happened suddenly yesterday, that's a good thing. It proves that his body is recovering. Maybe he'll wake up all of a sudden one day." Cynthia explained quickly and changed the topic, "I went to pick out a birthday gift for Liam's grandma with Queena yesterday, so I didn't come over."

"Ms. Larson, you don't have to explain it to me. I know Anthony's condition. You don't have to come here every day." Isabella was afraid to delay Cynthia's business.

Then Isabella thought of something. She took her bag and took out a box with a delicate combination lock. It took her a long time to open it.

Inside lay three black pills.

Isabella directly gave the box to Cynthia with pills in it.

At this time, Cynthia was putting away the silver needles. When she looked up, she saw the box and was confused.

"What is this?" asked Cynthia.

Isabella replied, "This is the secret pill of our Davis family. You must've heard about it before, Ms. Larson."

"What?" Cynthia was so surprised that she stood up directly. She carefully held the box in her hand and studied it.

"So this is the heirloom of your Davis family," said Cynthia.

When Cynthia was at the border, she heard from Delilah that this secret pill had contributed a lot to making the Davis family an old and well-known family of medicine.

It was developed by Isabella's great-grandfather, and it had remarkable effects except that it couldn't bring the dead back to life.

It could be said that as long as the patient had the slightest hope, the pill was able to turn the tide and bring the dying back to life, and there were even no side effects.

Although the patient couldn't be completely cured, the pill could buy time for the subsequent diagnosis and treatment.

At that time, it was known in medical circles as the Emergency Department's savior.

But such a good medicine disappeared in the big fire of that year, and no one was able to make it since then.

Thinking of this, Cynthia hated the man who set that fire to the core.

After admiring it, Cynthia wanted to return the box to Isabella.

But Isabella didn't accept it. She gently pushed Cynthia's hand back, shook her head, and said, "It's useless to leave this with me. I want you to have it. Consider it a thank-you gift for taking care of Anthony."
