Sylvia looked at Taryn, who was crying. It took her a long time to come back to herself. "Miss Maskelyne... But... You are Franklin's sister. How can you be a couple?"
Taryn wiped her tears and smiled mockingly, "Miss Andrew, I suppose you don't know it yet. Franklin isn't my parent's child. He is adopted. We don't share the same blood."
The day before, Sylvia had just known that she was not Otto's daughter. And now, she was told that Franklin was not his parents' child either.
Sylvia was overwhelmed.
So, Taryn fell in love with her adopted brother...
But one can't force love, whether to, or not to.
Obviously, Franklin had always seen her as a sister.
"I am sorry, Miss Maskelyne. But I can't agree. I don't want to part with Franklin and he is not an object to be given. He is a person and I need to respect him. To him, you have always been a sister, right?"
Taryn's face changed when she heard Sylvia's words. Tears once again welled up in her eyes. She grabbed Sylvia's hand. Under Sylvia's shocked and astonished gaze, Taryn knelt.
"Miss Andrews, I didn't want to meddle in your relationship with Franklin. But I'm literally dying. There is no cure for my heart disease. You may meet a better person in the future, but I'm different... I have no one but Franklin!"
Sylvia was taken aback by Taryn's actions.
She wanted to help Taryn up, but she heard Taryn say, "I will kneel until you agree."
"Miss Maskelyne, I think you've watched too many dramas?" For the sake of Franklin, Sylvia looked at Taryn's face and said patiently, "I suggest you read books when you're bored."
"Besides, if Franklin chooses you, I will leave immediately. So, you should ask Franklin, not me!"
Sylvia was so indifferent.
Taryn had no tricks left, yet this woman still turned her down.
Her face suddenly became very awful, "Miss Andrews, are you that cruel? Do you want me to kneel until my last breath?"
"I am sorry for your heart disease. I can help you find a doctor. But for the rest, I can't help." Sylvia had been in a very bad mood recently. She didn't want to bother herself with a psycho like Taryn. So, she grabbed her bag, passed Taryn, who was kneeling in front of her and walked directly towards the door.
"Kneel for as long as you like. I won't be the audience of your show."
...
Franklin had just finished the meeting. As soon as he stepped out of the conference room, his phone rang.
It was Taryn's number.
"Excuse me, is it Mr. Maskelyne?"
It was an unfamiliar voice. Franklin frowned. "What happened?"
"I'm a doctor of Lilypad General Hospital. Something happened to Miss Maskelyne. Please come here as soon as possible."
Franklin's big hand holding the phone suddenly tightened, and his voice became gloomy, "What did you say?"
"Miss Maskelyne suffered a serious heart attack. The doctors are trying their best to save her. She is still in a dangerous situation."
Franklin hung up the phone, and before Jasper realized something was wrong, he heard the man order, "Go to Lilypad General Hospital."
In the ward.
Taryn lay in the emergency room, dying.
Franklin rushed in like crazy.
"Taryn! How are you?"
He held Taryn's hand and felt the warmth drained from her body.
He could feel that she was dying.
