Chapter 104: How long am I supposed to wait.


    Lindy''s voice cut through the silence, her patience wearing thin with each passing moment.


    He had the feeling that Colton wasn''t taking his illness seriously at all.


    Who knew how long it would take for the mysterious Hacker World to restart.


    In the meantime, you better start making contacts abroad.


    If I have another attack, it could cost me my life.


    Although the worst of the pain was over and he felt a little better, seeing Mny only fueled his dissatisfaction.


    Mny''s family was not supposed to have powerful connections abroad, yet Mny seemedpletely useless.


    Meanwhile, Allison - an orphan of all people - was proving to be much more resourceful.


    Mny could feel Lindy''s sharp gaze, who knew exactly what she was thinking.


    With a serene smile, Mny spoke, though her voice barely hid the frustration bubbling beneath the surface.


    Lindy, I have good news.


    My parents have cleared their schedules.


    They arrive today from abroad to help us organize the wedding.


    And they will bring carefully chosen gifts.


    His tone was sweet, but the underlying message was sharp.


    Unlike Allison, the easy-to-control orphan, Mny had the support of influential parents.


    Lindy''s expression hardened, then softened as she understood the meaning.


    Even if Mny didn''t outshine Allison in every way, having wealthy parents was a considerable advantage.


    In the continuous battles with lovers and rivals, a well-connected daughter-inw was a powerful asset.


    Ah, I see.


    That''s wonderful, Lindy said, softening her voice as she took Mny''s hand, her touch warm but calcted.


    I have been unwell and may have said things I shouldn''t have.


    You''ve already been through a lot.


    With the arrival of your parents, I can organize a wee dinner for them.


    It will be the perfect opportunity to finally meet my inws.


    He cast a quick nce at Colton, who seemed lost in thought, his attention wandering once again.


    I had to remind him what his priorities were.


    As for medicine, he continued, you and Mny don''t need to worry.


    I''ll have someone else take care of it.


    If necessary, I can always turn to Keanu''s contacts.


    Colton, you should focus on your future inws and finalizing wedding ns.


    His true motive, although unspoken, was clear.


    If Mny''s parents could be convinced to support them financially, it would be the perfect asset.


    Seeing that Colton was still distracted, probably thinking about Allison, Lindy nudged him lightly.


    What''s wrong? You''re already daydreaming about your inws.


    Coming out of his thoughts, Colton looked at Mny, who smiled at him.


    Thinking about their wedding should have filled him with emotion; After all, it was the dream he had dreamed of for years.


    However, as the day approached, I couldn''t shake a growing feeling of unease.


    Every time she thought about the future, Allison''s face appeared in her mind.


    If she were the old Allison, she wouldn''t have to worry about anything.


    But now, today''s Allison was colder, more distant than ever.


    Pushing those unsettling feelings aside, Colton kept a neutral expression.


    Of course.


    I''ll be sure to give you a warm wee.


    He reached out to brush a strand of hair behind Mny''s ear, and she leaned toward him and rested her head on his chest.


    From afar, they looked like the perfect couple.


    But beneath the surface, they were both ying their own game.
