Olivia and Mason had pasta together. The meal definitely warmed them up.
"Feeling better now? Otherwise, you can have another bowl of pasta." She smiled.
He caressed her head. "Your way of comforting is quite distinctive."
"Neither Ms Heath nor you wanted that to happen. Now that things turned out this way, there's no use thinking about it anymore. Don't let it take a toll on your health."
He didn't say a word about it, but she was clever enough to figure it out.
"You're not only good at treating people. Would you like to work for me?" Mason offered sincerely.
Olivia shook her head. "I think there's more freedom to move around places. I might leave once you recover. I should prepare your medications. I bet Ms. Heath is ready too."
Mason watched her leave. Her maturity rendered it difficult for him to let her go.
She was a rare prodigy!
A group of people entered Krystal's room, where she was crying while more marks adorned Yale's face.
Tatiana and Linus wore long faces as they didn't say a word.
Linus didn't like Yale to begin with. Besides, he had yet to get to the bottom of the assassination case.
If the culprit was either Ethan or Yale, Linus' guess was more inclined to Yale.
Linus would never let Yale become his brother-in-law, but Krystal's deed might make that impossible.
Linus, the solemn man, stared at the two wordlessly.
Tatiana shared the same notion. She started thinking about her decision.
"Who's asking you to do that? I—"
Before she finished, a maid rushed over and whispered in Mason's ear, "The Kingstons are here."
It seemed like Yale had called over his family, worried that the Heath family might cover up the incident.
Krystal slammed the table. "You called your family over? Just what are you up to?"
His back was straight, and he wore a sincere expression. "I called my father as soon as the incident happened. We'll take responsibility for it. I bet he's here to propose a marriage."
Tatiana's expression was cold. "To propose a marriage? Or to force a marriage?"
"I don't quite get that, Mrs. Heath. I shouldn't keep quiet about it when Krystal has given her first to me, should I? I'm an honest man," he countered.
