Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 163

That night, countless souls lay awake.

The hospital was a given. Ursula's illness had taken a harsh turn, pain keeping her from even a moment's rest throughout the night.

Usually, Yorick and Jaxon would have been by her side, but tonight, unusually, neither had shown up. Only Cloudia was there with her.

In the dead of the night, Ursula's pain became unbearable. Turning over, she was met with the sight of her pillow covered in her own hair. Her heart clenched, and her eyes instantly reddened. Seeing this, Cloudia tried to offer comfort, "Once you're better, it'll all grow back."

Ursula sniffled, "Where's Rick?"

Her voice was frail as she spoke.

Cloudia replied, "He's got an important client he's meeting in Portis City. It's going to take some time."

This was what Imogen had told her. Yorick had to meet an important cooperative partner these days, a deal not yet secured. At this critical moment, they couldn't afford a single mistake. Cloudia had called Yorick, hoping he could find a way to help Tegan and Finley, given Ursula's pain.
