"Let''s just go ahead with the surgery. We can''t count on Ste," Jaxon stated without hesitation.


    If Tegan and Finley can''t make it, then what''s at risk can''t be saved, like Urs''s health.


    They had been trying to get Tegan back just to save her uterus. But now, when it was a matter of life and death, obviously, life mattered more.


    As for Ste, he had realized that damn girl just didn''t care about them at all. Moreover, she seemed to wish Urs gone.


    Cloudia sighed, "It''s no use."


    "What do you mean?"


    "The doctor told me the spread has been severe these past few days, and they reckon it''s already past the optimal time for surgery. They''re trying to manage it, but the risk of this surgery is incredibly high. They might not be able to keep her alive through it. If we had operated sooner, maybe, but now it''s toote."


    In the end, it boiled down to getting Finley and Tegan involved.


    Jaxon protested, "It''s only been a few days, hasn''t it?"


    Just a few days!


    How could that be toote?


    Cloudia sighed, "To ordinary people, time flies, but for cancer patients, it''s always a matter of life and death."


    These few days could mean a lifetime for them. Especially since Urs had a couple of other critical conditions.


    Jaxon''s breathing became unsteady again.


    Cloudia continued, "What do we do now? Ste tricked me. She said if I signed the disownment agreement, she''d make Finley and Tegane back. She didn''t keep her word."


    Mentioning Ste only intensified Cloudia''s anger.


    "She tricked you?"


    Jaxon''s breathing became even more unsteady. He knew his mother had copsed here, so he rushed over, initially to confront Ste. Instead, he ended up getting punched twice by her. The cold wind made him feel a chill between his teeth. Cloudia''s voice was filled with sorrow, "She tricked me into signing, saying once I did, Tegan and Finley would return to treat Urs."


    Jaxon was aware of this. He had


    even wondered why his mother


    hadn''t Gigned immediately,


    considering Urs''s health was at


    stake.


    wn


    It turned out, whether she signed or not, Ste had no intention of involving Finley and Tegan in Urs''s treatment.


    Jaxon fumed, "That''s outrageous. I''m going to find her!"


    In his frustration, he turned to head back to confront Ste.


    However, just as he hung up, he remembered the menacing man in Ste''s office. If he went back now...


    Thinking about another conflict, Jaxon clenched his fists, his whole body trembling with anger.


    His phone vibrated again, this time it was a call from ise Larkin.


    Before Jaxon could speak, ise said, "Get to the office now."


    "What''s wrong?"


    "Something bad happened," ise''s tone was serious on the other end.


    That seriousness made Jaxon feel uneasy. After hanging up and ncing at the entrance of the


    Orient Nexus Building, h


    not to go after Ste.


    Meanwhile, Ste in her office waspletely dumbfounded.


    She instinctively tried to snatch the velvet box from Ronald''s hands, but it was toote.


    Ronald smoothly dodged and had already opened it.


    He nced at therge diamond ring inside the box and then looked solemnly at Ste, "Star, what''s this?"


    His tone was gentle. Yet, it made Ste''s heart shiver, and she began to stutter, "Ronald, don''t get it wrong, that thing, I tell you, the person who sent it is crazy, absolutely crazy!"


    Jeremy said it was an apology gift, and she was baffled when she opened it.


    Who sent arge diamond ring as an apology gift? This was just nuts!
