Albert did not even dare to switch on his phone. As long as
Sophia''s incident did not die down, various news outlets would rampantly call his phone whenever it
was on.
Even their housemaid said she saw a few suspicious people near where they were staying when she
took out the trash early in the morning.
Hylda held a bowl of yogurt as she stood at the study''s door. Then, she gently knocked on the door
twice. After hearing Albert''s voice from the room, she opened the door and went inside.
"Have something to eat, Albert," she said as she ced the yogurt on the table.
She said lowly, "You barely sleptst night and are still busy the entire day today. Eat something before
you continue; don''t let yourself fall sick."
Albert looked annoyed, "There are still so many deposits that haven''t been covered; how could I be in
the mood to eat right now?
"Albert, the matter about money isn''t urgent; it''s only temporary. What''s important at the moment, isn''t
this," Hylda paused. She softly said, ''I just received news from the hospital. Rainee seems to be
conscious."

Albert paled, "What did you say?"
To make Albert decide soon, Hylda exaggerated Rainee''s situation.
Albert had a fearful and doubtful expression, "Are you sure? The doctor clearly said the chances are
extremely low."
‘Just because the chances are extremely low, it doesn''t mean she won''t regain consciousness, ''
thought Hylda.
She lowered her voice, "Albert, once she regains consciousness, some things can no longer be hidden.
If Ste learns about what happened back then, it''ll be more than just losing some money."
Albert was so shocked and petrified, "Then, what should we do?"
Hylda looked at his hopeless state.
‘How did I fall for a good-for-nothing like him back then?'' she thought repeatedly.
Hylda suppressed the disgust she felt within and said in alow voice, "Albert, Ste longer has any
consideration for your feelings; she won''t care about the father-and-daughter rtionship between you
two. After Rainee discovered those loopholes, we covered them so Ste might not have crucial
evidence and couldn''t threaten you. However, conversely, we can counter-pressure her with Rainee''s
hospital bills that we have been shouldering all this time. Since she doesn''t care about her father and
daughter rtionship with you anymore, we no longer have to show her any mercy."
She paused momentarily before continuing slowly, "It''s time we stop paying for her hospital bills."
After Hylda and Albert married, he handed the matter of paying Rainee''s hospital bills to her. She
wished the woman would never regain consciousness, so she would constantly put off paying for the
hospital bills and only pay when she could no longer dy it. Right now, she was really d about this
decision of hers.
‘Based on my calction, Rainee''s ount should be out of money now. If Ste uses the Kane
family''s money to pay Rainee''s hospital bills, someone will naturally do something without the need for
us to make a move" she thought.
Albert was still a little indecisive. He pursed his lips for a long time before finally saying, "The doctor''s
already said she doesn''t have long to live; is there a need for us to take things to this extent?" Hylda''s
voice turned icy.
"If she regains consciousness, we''re both done for! Albert, think of the things she did to you! Think of
Ste! Can you live with what she did?"
Albert''s expression changed. He finally decided, "Alright. Go and do it, then."
Hylda walked out of the study and immediately made a call. In Alodale, Coco stared at the four white
walls around her. She frowned, "Didn''t you say we''re going to y? Why are we at the hospital again?"
The hospital staff was helping her change into a gown while
Keegan stood at the side.
"You can go out and y after this surgery," he said coolly. Coco pouted.
"That was what you said thest time I got surgery. In the end, I was still in the hospital when I woke
up."
Keegan said, "This is thest surgery."
