Willow carefully tucked her copy into her handbag, feeling instantly relieved.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Beatrice stared at the contract in her hands, her eyes fixed on Willow's elegant handwriting, her hands shaking with rage!
She had only intended to scare the girl into backing down and apologizing. She never expected Willow to be so stubborn and actually sign it!
Ridiculous!
Who did she think she was? A highly sought-after attending physician like Adelina? She actually dared to throw a temper tantrum!
She wanted to see where Willow could possibly go after leaving the Landon family!
Beatrice angrily shoved the contract into a drawer and slammed it shut.

During the last hour of Asher's observation period, he developed a mild fever. Willow and Adelina immediately gave him a full checkup and found nothing abnormal. The observation period was basically over.

Willow watched him quietly. He showed no signs of waking up. It seemed he wouldn't be able to hear what she wanted to say.
It didn't matter. Whether he heard it or not, the outcome wouldn't change.
Willow averted her gaze and walked out of the room.
The Shaw family members had returned and were waiting outside.
