Chapter 198
Geneva quickly said to me, "Jta is showing signs of waking up. I''m at the hospital with Janice!"
"Really?" I eximed excitedly, "That''s great news!"
"That''s why I''m here with Janice at the hospital. I''m worried about her condition," Geneva stated
seriously. "Although things look promising, we can''t be sure when she''ll wake up. We''re just waiting for
Jan''s order, but I''m not sure what he''s hesitating about."
She knew the reason I called and lowered her voice. "I can''t push him anymore."
"I suspect someone is interfering with his decision," I said confidently.
"You mean, something to do with the kid?" Geneva asked.
"It might be. I have a feeling Marissa is being manipted," I replied, feeling a bit uneasy. "But I can''t
figure out why someone would want to hinder the growth of Medsafe Liyah Inc. It doesn''t make sense."
"What did the police say?" Geneva asked.
"They''ve limited my movements, but I feel like there''s more to it. They haven''t asked me any probing
questions," I aired my doubts.
"We''ll just have to wait then. The kid is missing and that''s a fact," Genevaforted me. "It''s been over
40 hours, we should hear something soon."
I nodded and asked, "Should I go to the hospital with Catherine? Do we need to stay overnight?"
"It''s too soon to tell, we''ll discuss itter tonight. The point is that Jta is waking up, and Janice is
really worried."
"Oh, when''s the deadline for the verification?" I asked Geneva before hanging up.
"Tonight is the deadline, and negotiations start tomorrow," Geneva replied.
"So soon?" I was taken aback. I hadn''t expected today to be the deadline.
I couldn''t tell what Jan had decided before he left just now.
"The inspection team''s schedule was moved up. Twopanies have already finished the process, so
everything was expedited," Geneva sounded helpless. "We can''t make any more moves now."
"I understand."
I hung up and stood up nervously, pacing around, trying to figure out what Jan was hesitating about.
Catherine noticed my distress and cautiously suggested, "Should we try to push him a bit more?"
"No, we shouldn''t startle him," I said firmly. "Something doesn''t feel right."
"What do you mean?" Catherine asked, "The kid?"
I shook my head, unable to express my feelings.
After dinner, I asked Catherine to go to the hospital to check on Jta. Janice has been very
supportive and helpful throughout this ordeal, despite being pregnant. Now that she needed help, I
couldn''t just do nothing.

Catherine looked at me worriedly, "Are you sure you''re okay? I should stay with you. It''s not like Jta
will wake up right away."
"You should still visit. Besides, Hannah''s here with me," I reassured her. "Staring at each other isn''t
going to help. We''ll just have to see what happens."
"I''ll be back soon then. If there''s no problem, I''lle back straight away," Catherine said, and then
reminded Hannah of a few things before hurriedly leaving.
My heart was in my throat at this point.
The office had closed for the day, but there was still no news. I knew Jan hadn''t made a decision yet
because I would get a notification on my phone if there was a deposit in the ount.
I was clinging to the hope that we still had until 10 a.m. tomorrow.
Everything hade to this point. If Jan gave the order to proceed with the overseas negotiations,
he would close all loopholes, and then there would be no turning back. But as the minutes ticked by,
everything was calm, and there was no sign of Jan returning.
I clutched my phone, pacing back and forth, unable to face the reality that all our ns might be for
naught.
How Jan and I would face each other in the future, and whether I could recover the assets he had
moved, were all uncertain.
The scariest part was that I couldn''t influence his decision at this time, and I had no idea how many
secrets were hidden behind all this.
