Catlin was so furious that her vision blurred with rage. If it weren’t for Olivia’s current condition, she would’ve given Stephanie a piece of her mind.

But now, in this moment, she couldn’t waste any more time arguing over the phone.

Taking a deep breath, her voice was cold with barely controlled anger. “Where are you? I’m coming to see you.”

“What do you want to see me for?” came Stephanie’s curt reply.

Catlin gritted her teeth, swallowing her fury. “We need to have a serious talk.”

Olivia’s condition was deteriorating by the minute. Catlin wanted to resolve things with Stephanie face–to–face–give her what she wanted, just to get Dr. Pierce to come back as soon as possible.

At this point, she was ready to give in to anything, but Stephanie… she wasn’t even interested in negotiating.

“I’ve got nothing to say to you, and everything that needed to be said has been said,” Stephanie answered coldly.

“Mrs. Hart, I’m done with the Hart family. I don’t need a mother like you, either. It’s better if we just pretend we never existed to each other.”

Without a second thought, Stephanie slammed the phone down.

The words hit Catlin like a slap to the face. Her hands trembled, and her face flushed with anger.

Stephanie’s answer echoed in her mind, each word sharper than the last.

“What’s wrong with her? No matter how much hatred there is, why does it always have to be now?” Catlin, on the tears, spoke through gritted teeth to Tyler.
