The moment Catlin saw Chris, she couldn’t hold back her frustration and anguish. “Chris, Olivia is in so much pain.

Chris had replaced Olivia’s entire medical team with his own people, some of the best specialists in the field.

Perhaps it was because of Allison and Macro’s reputation, but Carlin couldn’t shake the feeling that if these two doctors joined Olivia’s treatment, they could at least ease some of her suffering.

It didn’t matter whether the chances were high or not. Even if it was just to make the process less agonizing for Olivia, Catlin would take it.

So every time she saw Olivia writhing in pain, she became even more determined to have Macro and Allison involved in her

treatment.

Chris frowned, exhaling slightly in frustration. “I know.”

‘How could she not be in pain? With everything she’s suffering from, it’s impossible for her not to feel it, he wondered.

Catlin pleaded, “You have to get Macro and Allison on board. I’m really worried, Chris. I’m scared Olivia won’t make it through another bout of this pain.”

Every time she saw Olivia enduring the agony, she truly feared she wouldn’t survive it.

Chris replied, “Even if Macro and Allison step in, their treatment plan wouldn’t be much different”

In his mind. Olivia’s condition was already so severe; there was no way she wouldn’t be in pain.

“No, they’re better than that. They have the skills and the reputation. I know they can make it easier for her.” Catlin insisted. “Chris, I’m begging you, find a way. I know you can. Stephanie is heartless. No matter what I say, she refuses to budge.”

Stephanie’s stubbornness was utterly maddening

Chris froze for a moment. The second he heard Stephanie’s name, a shadow flickered in his eyes.

Catlin kept talking, but Chris no longer heard a word.

“Chris Chris!“Noticing his lack of response, Catlin frowned and looked at him; sure enough, he was completely lost in thought

She called his name a few more times before Chris finally snapped back to reality.

“You have to figure out a way to bring Allison and Macro back for her surgery,” she urged. “You know Olivia’s body can’t take the current treatment. It’s unbearable for her.”

Her voice broke slightly as she spoke, overwhelmed by emotion.

Chris sighed. “Okay, I got it. I’ll go check on Olivia first.”
