"Dad!"
Adrian's face lit up as he quickly stepped up to the bedside.
"Cough, cough..." Karter had just woken up, still a bit out of it. "Why is everyone here...?"
"You just fainted from coughing up blood. Thank goodness for Ms. Abbey, or who knows what might have happened!" A chorus of relatives chimed in, even mentioning how Adrian almost got him killed by insisting Flora treat him!
"You really need to rein Adrian in, bringing all sorts of bad influences around, nearly getting you hurt. If it weren't for Ms. Abbey being here by chance..."
"Alright, enough," Karter interrupted, his head pounding from their chatter. "Ms. Abbey, thank you for saving me. I owe you a huge debt, and one day, the Reyes family will repay you generously."
"My head's killing me, so if you could all leave for now. Ryan, you stay."
"Yes," Ryan replied.
The room cleared out.
"Did you see that girl, Flora?" Karter asked once everyone had left.
The group had been putting Flora down, but Karter hadn't paid them any mind, finding them annoying instead.
"I did," Ryan responded excitedly. "Sir, Miss Flora really does look a lot like Alan!"
Outside, Abbey was talking with the Reyes family staff about continuing Karter's treatment. She was confident she could do an even better job than Flora!
Little did Abbey know, danger was just around the corner.
...
Meanwhile, Connor and the others arrived at the Falcone residence.
Amanda had been waiting, peeking out from the upstairs window. When she finally saw Connor's car pull up, she rushed downstairs. But, not wanting to seem too eager, she settled onto the living room couch, picked up a book, and pretended to read.
