Catlin hurried to catch up with Chris.
Seeing her approach. Chris was somewhat surprised. “Mrs. Ashford, why are you here?”
Catlin took a moment to steady her breath.
“Chris, tell me, are you here because of Stephanie?”
Chris stared at the phone, his face turning ashen.
Kevin lowered his head silently. Clearly, this matter was related to her.
For sreason, the question made him uncomfortable, especially the way she mentioned Stephanie.

He recalled that Catlin always called Olivia by Ollie, yet Stephanie-her own daughter-was referred to so distantly.
And Stephanie her biological daughter!
For the first time, Chris clearly saw the distinction Catlin made between the two.
At that moment, he suddenly understood why Stephanie had always harbored such resentment toward the Hart
family.
Kevin was also taken aback. He didn’t expect Catlin to ask such a question. Stephanie was her biological
daughter after all.
Just two years ago, the Hart family had even tried to arrange a match between her and Mr. Giovanni.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow, what was this attitude?
Chris narrowed his eyes slightly. “Did Olivia send you?”
Thinking of what Olivia had said over the phone, he found her behavior almost childish.
He had been running around nonstop while she was undergoing treatment. Now his company was facing big
problems keeping him away from the hospital.
And Catlin had cto question him, which annoyed Chris.
Catlin hesitated, her breath stilled. “No, it’s not that. | just...”
Faced with Chris‘ stern gaze, she faltered.
“Well, it’s just... You know, Olivia is sick. She's very vulnerable right now.”
“She knows you and Stephanie are both in Mount Spring, and she won't even take her medicine.”
Chris’ expression darkened. “What?”
Hearing that Olivia was refusing to take her medication, his concern grew.
Noticing the flicker of worry in his eyes, Catlin pressed on. “You know, she relies on you a lot.”
“If she were in a better state, she might be more rational, but right now, she’s fighting a battle between life and
death.”
Thinking of Olivia's condition, Catlin felt a pang of sorrow.
Chris seeing her distress, felt his irritation fade.

Without hesitation, he pulled out his phone and called Olivia.
Olivia answered quickly, her voice weak. “Chris.”
“Why didn’t you take your medicine properly?”
His tone was stern, but there was an undeniable undercurrent of concern.
Hearing his voice, Olivia's emotions overflowed. She burst into tears, feeling grievance.
Chris sighed, troubled. “The company has been really busy lately. Can you be good for me?”
“I thought you didn’t care aboutanymore,” she whispered. “You went to Mount Spring... and so did
Stephanie.”
Chris stared at the phone, his face turning ashen.
The mention of Stephanie only irritated Chris further.
Still, he patiently reassured her. “The company has been really busy these past few days. Take care of yourself,
okay?”
The Lucano family had already signed a contract with Jackson.
Even Fred's intervention hadn't changed the situation. Chris knew the challenges the Ashford Group would face
next.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe simply didn’t have the tto be at the hospital.
After comforting her for a while, he quickly ended the call.
Catlin, who had been standing by, noticed that although Chris‘ attitude had softened, his patience wasn’t what it
used to be. Chris glanced at Catlin.
-Catlin hesitated before asking, “You really didn’t chere because of Stephanie?”
Perhaps in her anxiety, she had spoken without thinking.
The moment the words left her lips, Chris face darkened.
He shot her a cold, piercing look before turning to leave.
Catlin instinctively stepped forward. “Chris, I...”
However, Chris was already fed up. “What you should be most concerned about right now is the Hart Group.”
