From Sneers to Cheers Anthea's Ascent novel Chapter 76

When the Christensen family moved to Capital City, Hancock didn't have the slightest clue about their background. He assumed they were another wealthy family of no particular note, so he spoke his mind without reservation.

"Perhaps Dr. Lyons doesn't realize there's always a bigger fish," Karen's voice carried a chill.

Hancock turned to look at Karen. "Well then, I wish you a speedy recovery and many more years to come. But let me be frank. If you regret this decision and want to call me back, that opportunity won't come."

"Don't worry. I never regret anything I say or do!"

"Very well, I'll remember that! And you should remember your words today, too!" He couldn't believe anyone else could cure her cold syndrome!

Karen would regret it in less than a month! But by then, her regret would be pointless!

With that, Hancock walked away.

Adah was beside herself with worry, about to chase after Hancock.

Karen gripped Adah's hand. "Leave him be."

Adah sighed. "But Karen, your health..."

"I'm fine. We still have Ann," Karen reassured her, patting Adah's hand.

Adah had no choice but to let it go, although she had little faith in Anthea's remedies. She planned to wait for Karen's anger to subside before seeking out Hancock again.

Rebecca sat near the window at the coffee shop, seemingly waiting for someone, her gaze frequently drifting outside.

Before long, a young woman with a flawless makeup look approached, led by a server.

"Luna," Rebecca greeted her with a smile.

"Sorry, I'm late," Luna apologized.
