Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1543

Sasha smirked, watching Lina leave before making her way to the hospital's rear entrance. The area was deserted. She calmly wore her mask and arrived punctually for her meeting with Kasey.

The cafe adjacent to the hospital was tranquil, with Kasey already seated by a window. Spotting Sasha, she waved enthusiastically.

Sunlight poured through the window, casting an unusual gleam on Sasha's golden mask, which seemed to dazzle Kasey.

"Sasha..." Kasey began hesitantly, "When can we do the compatibility test?"

Sasha leaned back with a faint smile. Behind her mask, her eyes sparkled with a chilly shrewdness. "The timing for the test is up to you."

"You..."

"I've mentioned it before. I need to see the money first. Otherwise, I have no reason to help a child who isn't connected to me in any way."

"Sasha!" Kasey's emotions started to show. "How can you say Nala has no connection to you? She's Elijah's daughter!"

Sasha grinned. "But I don't carry the Chriss last name."

Kasey was stunned, her mind blank. Sasha didn't have the Chriss last name, and she clearly wanted that recognition.

"I understand these conditions might be hard to accept." Sasha nonchalantly played with her nails. "But think about it. There's no such thing as a free lunch. And I know you might consider it extortion if the compatibility test proves I'm not a match...

"But!" Sasha rose, her all-black attire radiating an icy aura even in the bright daylight. "I'm already doing you a favor by agreeing to be tested. Shouldn't you offer some compensation? Even if I'm not a match, it's time to make amends for what the Chrisses owe me after leaving me in the cold all these years!"

Kasey turned pale, took a deep breath, and fought to steady her trembling shoulders. After a lengthy silence, she slowly retrieved a card from her pocket and slid it toward Sasha.

"Sasha Harding... No, Sasha Chriss…" Kasey locked eyes with her, her eyes welling up. "You're my daughter's last hope. Regardless of the conditions, I agree."
