Chapter 268
Mike did a paternity test, and Sandra was indeed his daughter. Ever since then, he had been searching for any trace of her mother, but it was as if she had vanished.
Having been close with Mike, Stephan even tried to help him search, yet no leads had surfaced.
"I see." Felicia sighed, feeling sympathetic. No wonder Sandra would call every woman she saw "mom". Kids were perceptive, and especially at an age when they started to recognize people, she would naturally want her mother. Stephan suddenly leaned closer. "Do you like kids?"
She was speechless.
At that moment, a realization struck her, and she shot up from the sofa.
However, her movement was too abrupt, and with the exhaustion from yesterday, her leg cramped, sending her stumbling right back-straight into his waiting arms.
He chuckled. "You initiated that."
She was speechless and quickly left.
Seeing she was going out, Kenneth immediately went to bring the car around. As she waited, she overheard a conversation behind the garden.
It was two bodyguards talking.
One of them said, "Mr. Russell got so angry last night that he seized the Lawson family's largest mine and an oil field."
"I know, right? Only Mike had the sense that pleading with Mr. Russell wouldn't work and instead sought help from Ms. Fuller. Otherwise, the Lawson family's newly acquired gold shares would've been lost too!" "Yeah, but because of this, word about Mr. Russell being in Khogend might get out."
"Well, it's inevitable. The walls have ears. We'll just have to double the patrol and security around the estate from now on to be safe."
The voices grew faint as the two moved on.
The car pulled up.
Felicia got in, feeling a subtle shift
within. She knew the Lawson family's apology was due to
Stephan. Without him, there was no way they would be making such a
hefty "offering".
But knowing it and overhearing it firsthand were two different things, especially since Stephan's location was revealed because of her.
She hoped this wouldn't have any negative consequences for him.
But she reassured herself that it shouldn't he had plenty of skilled people around, and his abilities were formidable. Not to mention his powerful background-who would dare mess with him?
She would be better off worrying about herself.
When she exited the car, her first stop was the pharmacy. She wasn't about to leave anything to chance.
After swallowing the pill with water, she felt relieved and headed toward Archer Street to check on her two clinics.
Coincidentally, when she arrived, Harvey was just entering Harmony Medical Center.
As soon as he saw her, he bristled, acting every bit like a cocky rooster ready for a fight.
"What? Still not giving up? How dare you come back? Brat, just seeing you brings bad luck!" he yelled as if he owned the entire street.
Felicia ignored him, crossing the street and entering the clinic.
This clinic was called "Union Clinic
while the one next door was "Mercy
Clinic Inside, both were
deserted and depressingly empty.
Harmony Medical Center's fame was unbeatable. Anyone with a choice went there rather than here.
But now, both "Union Clinic" and "Mercy Clinic" belonged to her.
