For over thirty years, Adah had been a part of the Christensen family, fostering a bond with Karen that was as deep as any that exists between a mother and daughter.
Hearing such words, Adah felt a pang of distress, her eyes uncontrollably brimming with tears. "Karen, you will get better, I know it. You have to!"
Gripping Adah's hand tightly, Karen pleaded, "So, Adah, let me try it, okay? What if it works?"
Seeing Karen in such a state, Adah couldn't bear to refuse her again and nodded. "Okay, you can try it for a few days, but let’s make it clear now. If anything seems off, we'll stop the treatment immediately."
Finally giving in, Karen's face lit up with the joy of a three-year-old. "Don't worry, Adah. Ann's got an amazing touch! She's going to cure me!"
"Who's Ann?" Adah blinked in confusion.
Karen explained, "Ann's my future granddaughter-in-law!"
"That young lady is Ann?" Adah asked for clarification.
Karen nodded in confirmation.
When Hancock heard that Karen had decided to abandon his treatment for some unproven remedy, he was so livid he was practically blowing steam out of his ears. After all, he was a renowned physician in Cloudcrest! Could some nobody upstage his fame and expertise?
Had Karen lost her wits?
Hancock rushed to the Christensen family’s grand villa and retrieved the medical kit he had stored there.
Witnessing this, the butler quickly summoned Adah. Since their arrival in Cloudcrest, Hancock had been in charge of Karen's care.
Upon hearing the news, Adah rushed over promptly. "Dr. Lyons, what's going on? Why are you packing up all of a sudden?"
