Kira was so partial to Otto that she couldn't differentiate right from wrong. Sylvia didn't doubt at all that Kira would sacrifice herself for Otto.
Sylvia suddenly felt exhausted.
She put down the knife and handed Kira a credit card. "The money in it can support you for the rest of your life, grandma. I might..."
She wanted to tell Kira that she might not have much time left.
But so what if she told Kira?
It wouldn't solve anything.
"I don't want your money! I want your father back!" Kira said angrily with tears, "Sibbie, why can't you just get him out?"
"I just can't." Sylvia sighed and put the credit card on the table, "Grandma, I have paid the care worker five years' salary. She would take care of you after you are discharged from the hospital."
It was as if she was giving her last words.
Kira wiped her tears and asked in confusion, "Five years? Why? I can take care of myself after leaving the hospital. Besides, I have you taking care of me since your dad's away, right?"
"It's not that I don't want to take care of you, grandma. I couldn't anymore." Sylvia felt distressed. Back then, when Otto was around, Kira insisted on staying with him no matter how she persuaded her to move out.
Now that Otto was in jail, Kira thought of her granddaughter.
Otto had been torturing her but she was still so kind to her.
Sylvia wanted to live with Kira, but she had been poisoned. She had a virus and Rejuvenator inside her body.
She might die any time soon. She'd rather keep Kira in the dark, thinking that she was still alive, just not around.
Sylvia said goodbye to Kira after saying the words.
However, right after she left, there was a ruthless expression on Kira's face. "What an ungrateful little bastard! I had been taking care of her after her mother died and my efforts have all gone to waste. I should have left her to die back then!"
When the nurse walked in and saw the look on her face, she was scared.
When she looked at Kira again, she had returned to the kind old lady. "Miss, when can I leave the hospital?"
"In about a week, ma'am." The nurse put the tray down and thought she must have seen it wrong.
In the research room of Longevity Pharmaceuticals, Logan sat there on the sofa, feeling tired. He had been working on developing the medicine non-stop for days.
But it had gone nowhere.
Rejuvenator was a tricky poison.
And even after he had found the ingredients that made it, he failed to make the antidote.
He had tried a lot of ways but none of them worked.
The eight researchers were all exhausted from days of work.
Just as he was about to take a nap, footsteps came.
Logan frowned and looked over. He saw a man walking in.
He was in a black suit and with his hands in his pockets. He had the presence of a king.
Logan looked over his shoulders.
What was wrong?
Franklin always showed up with a dozen bodyguards.
But he came alone today and didn't even bring Jasper.
Was he here to kill him or beat him up?
