After a brief silence on the phone, Clarissa said to Kathryn, “Pedro is yours, and he will always be yours. I never said I wanted to take him away, and I don’t have the authority to do so.”
Once an all-purpose assistant is assigned to the head of the family or their successor, only the master they serve can decide their fate.
Clarissa continued, “I want to talk to Pedro. Have him come to the company. I’m still here.”
Kathryn, wary, asked, “Mom, what do you want to talk to Pedro about? Shouldn’t you tell me first before telling him?”
“Kathryn, don’t you trust me? I’m your mother. Would I harm you? Pedro is yours and will always be yours. I have no power to change that. If you don’t want him to come to me, I’ll go to the hospital and talk to him alone. But if I do that, I might get upset and do something you won’t like. You have two choices.”
Kathryn sighed and said, “I’ll tell him. But Mom, please send Dad and my brothers back. I don’t need them to take care of me.”
Kathryn could leave the hospital in a couple of days. She was almost fully recovered. It was Pedro who insisted she stay for a few extra days to rest.
Besides, the conflict between the Farrell family and Wiltspoon had settled.
Leaving the hospital would put Kathryn in an uncomfortable position, caught between both sides.
Pedro, caring for her, didn’t want her to face that stress just yet.
Clarissa asked, “Do you not want their care, or are you afraid they’ll drug you?”

The readers' comments on the novel: Married at First Sight (Serenity and Zachary)
Please use the English names as it is difficult to read and connect....
I am very greatful of your hard work in translating the novel in English, is there any chance you could use the character’s name in English please, it’s hard to follow the story with Chinese names. Thanks...
Please use correct names and watch the repeating of pages....
Thank you for the story, its going on well, however the changing of names somehow makes it difficult to follow. Even learning the new ones that you have tried to match, it is extremely difficult to follow and enjoy the drama while trying to go back to rechecking who we are talking about. The title is still Married at first sight (Serenity and Zachary) but they no longer exist in the whole picture. You created a dynamic community which I am sure everyone felt they lived and travelled with. We appreciate all the effort and your insight. I am very grateful for this novel is very captivating....
Please continue using Zachary,. Serenity,Duncan, Liberty etc . You jumped 30 updates and changed names where I'm unable to follow the story and losing interest. This is a great disservice to your loyal readers....
Changing names ruins the whole story. Whoever heard of such a thing....
Please use the old names, the new names are too confusing...

Yangyang = Sonny; Uncle Lu = Duncan; Liberty=Liberty; Haitong/Tongtong = serenity ; Zhan Yin= Zachary; Ning Siqi= Cameron Sister Carrie;...
