Chapter 1689:

“Kylee, don’t say that.” Carola’s voice softened, her heart aching. “Look around—our world is changing, and medicine has come a long way. HIV no longer means a death sentence. With consistent treatment and discipline, many never develop symptoms at all. Besides, your grandfather has already founded a research institute overseas. It’s filled with top medical minds dedicated to HIV research. Maybe someday, a cure won’t just be a dream. So please, Kylee, don’t give up. Hold onto hope. Do you hear me?”

Carola’s words stirred something in Kylee—an odd mix of warmth, gratitude, and a spark of surprise. At that very moment, her conviction deepened: under no circumstance could Carola discover her true identity. Because if the truth ever surfaced, everything she had now could vanish.
