Chapter 216:
“Please, Alexander, just pick up already—it’s important!”
Typically, Katrina's urgencies revolved around Joyce. Anything less seemed to barely stir her.
His phone rang yet again, and this time, Alexander couldn't ignore it.
He answered, barely getting a word out before Katrina's anxious voice spilled through.
“Alexander, I'm terribly sorry to call so late, but I'm really at my wit’s end. | need your help.”
“What's going on?”
Katrina's response was a flood of tears, her voice cracking with emotion.
“Alexander, Joyce had a prenatal check-up today, and the doctor fears there might be complications with the
baby’s heart. They said it might need immediate surgery after birth to survive!”
Her voice broke as she continued, the sobs shaking her.

Joyce, my sweet daughter. If she’s taken from me, | don’t think I'd have the strength to keep living this wretched
life!”
Alexander was hardly in the mood to entertain Katrina's theatrics. He went straight to the point, his voice cutting
through the tension.
“Just tellwhat you want from me!”
Katrina paused, her tears momentarily forgotten as she considered her plea.

What she truly desired was for Alexander to intervene in Joyce's predicament. The blame, in her eyes, lay
squarely with Daniela. If not for her, Joyce would have been Alexander's wife by now, uniting their families and
sparing her this torment.
Fueled by a resolute desire to see Daniela held responsible, Katrina implored, “Alexander, your group operates a
healthcare company, doesn’t it? Could you possibly find out if there's a top specialist capable of performing such
a surgery? Or maybe there's a way to treat the baby without surgery? It’s heartbreaking to think of the baby
facing a lifetof medication after surgery.” Alexander fell silent, absorbing her words.
Thoughts of Daniela flickered through his mind, along with Dreamscape’s cutting-edge medical solutions.
Typically, such innovations would need official approval, clinical trials, and extensive marketing—a process
spanning at least a year.
But twas a luxury the child did not have.
A sliver of hope emerged as he considered whether Daniela might be persuaded to grant an exception for Joyce.
When Alexander confided in Richard, his response was fierce and immediate.
“Stay out of it, Alexander! This mess isn’t worth ruining yourself over! Daniela has completely severed ties with
the Harper family. What business is it of yours to interfere? Think about it—if they mend fences and Daniela ends
up backed by the Harpers, given our past run-ins with Katrina, do you seriously believe she’d make peace with
us? And what about Joyce? How will you face...”
The more Richard pondered the situation, the more his disapproval grew.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Just let Daniela and the Harpers go their separate ways! Offering help is generous, but choosing not to is your
decision. Nobody can fault you for that. Listen carefully, Alexander, don’t even think about getting involved in
that mess! You don’t need to sort this out. Leave it to me,” Richard insisted, his voice laden with concern that
Alexander might be too compassionate for his own good. Daniela was a treasure too valuable to let slip into
anyone else’s hands.
With a firm resolve, Richard muttered, “I'll call Katrina myself. Why the hell are you always dragged into their
mess? You're not even family! They're just using you like a damn tool!”
