Felix truly hadn't expected Carol to show up at the hospital, and his expression turned chilly as he approached the bedside, pulling

"Stop crying, okay?"

Listina's eyes simmered with resentment, especially since she was the one confined to the hospital bed, while that woman got to

see Felix every day.

"Felix, why don't you quit that job you have with her? I can't stand it if she comes here again. I'm feeling so messed up inside, filled

with doubts I can't shake off."

"Okay, don't overthink it."

Listina's lips curved, and her tears stopped just as quickly as they had come.

"Listina, the doctor's coming tomorrow. You'll need to cooperate with the check-up and get your strength back. Otherwise, the

"What are the odds?"

Panic flashed across Listina's face. Those were not the high odds she had hoped for; she couldn't bear the thought of leaving Felix
