Chapter 1543


    Sasha smirked, watching Lina leave before making her way to the hospital’s rear entrance. The area


    was deserted. She calmly wore her mask and arrived punctually for her meeting with Kasey.


    The cafe adjacent to the hospital was tranquil, with Kasey already seated by a window. Spotting Sasha,


    she waved enthusiastically.


    Sunlight poured through the window, casting an unusual gleam on Sasha’s golden mask, which


    seemed to dazzle Kasey.


    “Sasha…” Kasey began hesitantly, “When can we do thepatibility test?”


    Sasha leaned back with a faint smile. Behind her mask, her eyes sparkled with a chilly shrewdness.


    “The timing for the test is up to you.”


    “You…”


    “I’ve mentioned it before. I need to see the money first. Otherwise, I have no reason to help a child who


    isn’t connected to me in any way.”


    “Sasha!” Kasey’s emotions started to show. “How can you say N has no connection to you? She’s


    Elijah’s daughter!”


    Sasha grinned. “But I don’t carry the Chrissst name.”


    Kasey was stunned, her mind nk. Sasha didn’t have the Chrissst name, and she clearly wanted


    that recognition.


    “I understand these conditions might be hard to ept.” Sasha nonchntly yed with her nails. “But


    think about it. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. And I know you might consider it extortion if the


    compatibility test proves I’m not a match…


    “But!” Sasha rose, her all-ck attire radiating an icy aura even in the bright daylight. “I’m already doing


    you a favor by agreeing to be tested. Shouldn’t you offer somepensation? Even if I’m not a match,


    it’s time to make amends for what the Chrisses owe me after leaving me in the cold all these years!”


    Kasey turned pale, took a deep breath, and fought to steady her trembling shoulders. After a lengthy


    silence, she slowly retrieved a card from her pocket and slid it toward Sasha.


    “Sasha Harding… No, Sasha Chriss…” Kasey locked eyes with her, her eyes welling up. “You’re my


    daughter’sst hope. Regardless of the conditions, I agree.”


    Sasha nced at the card on the table but didn’t move.


    Kasey’s voice quivered. “There’s 700,000 dors in the card. That’s what we agreed upon. So, please,


    no matter what, conduct thepatibility test… If it’s sessful, I can give you everything I have!”


    Sasha slowly picked up the card, feeling its warmth like a burning ember. She epted it without


    hesitation. “We could’ve avoided a lot of trouble if you’d done this earlier, don’t you think?”


    Kasey closed her eyes and opened them, her lips tightly pressed.


    Sasha stood and patted Kasey’s shoulder, gesturing for her to leave together.


    They quickly reached the hospital.


    Sasha signed thepatibility test consent form, and the doctor promised to arrange it soon.


    Kasey breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Sasha’s signature.


    “Sasha…” Kasey took hold of her arm. “Since you’re here,e with me to see N. It’s a chance for


    you to bond with her in advance.”


    Sasha hesitated briefly but nodded in agreement. When they entered the ward, they found Elijah


    feeding N.


    As Sasha walked in, N fixed her gaze on her. Suddenly, the room felt heavy, suffused with an


    inexplicable sense of tension.


    “What brings you here?” Elijah frowned, casting a questioning look at Kasey, who avoided eye contact.


    He quickly understood the situation but remained silent, focusing on Sasha.

    “Are you here to see N?” he finally asked.
