Sasha smirked, watching Lina leave before making her way to the hospital's rear entrance. The area was deserted.
She calmly wore her mask and arrived punctually for her meeting with Kasey.
The cafe adjacent to the hospital was tranquil, with Kasey already seated by a window. Spotting Sasha, she waved
enthusiastically.
Sunlight poured through the window, casting an unusual gleam on Sasha's golden mask, which seemed to dazzle
Kasey.
"Sasha..." Kasey began hesitantly, "When can we do the compatibility test?"
Sasha leaned back with a faint smile. Behind her mask, her eyes sparkled with a chilly shrewdness. "The timing for
the test is up to you."
"You..."

connected to me in any way."
"Sasha!" Kasey's emotions started to show. "How can you say Nala has no connection to you? She's Elijah's
daughter!"
Sasha grinned. "But I don't carry the Chriss last name."
Kasey was stunned, her mind blank. Sasha didn't have the Chriss last name, and she clearly wanted that
recognition.
"I understand these conditions might be hard to accept." Sasha nonchalantly played with her nails. "But think about
it. There's no such thing as a free lunch. And I know you might consider it extortion if the compatibility test proves
I'm not a match...
"But!" Sasha rose, her all-black attire radiating an icy aura even in the bright daylight. "I'm already doing you a
favor by agreeing to be tested. Shouldn't you offer some compensation? Even if I'm not a match, it's time to make
amends for what the Chrisses owe me after leaving me in the cold all these years!"
Kasey turned pale, took a deep breath, and fought to steady her trembling shoulders. After a lengthy silence, she
slowly retrieved a card from her pocket and slid it toward Sasha.
"Sasha Harding... No, Sasha Chriss..." Kasey locked eyes with her, her eyes welling up. "You're my daughter's last
hope. Regardless of the conditions, I agree."
Sasha glanced at the card on the table but didn't move.
Kasey's voice quivered. "There's 700,000 dollars in the card. That's what we agreed upon. So, please, no matter
what, conduct the compatibility test... If it's successful, I can give you everything I have!"
Sasha slowly picked up the card, feeling its warmth like a burning ember. She accepted it without hesitation. "We
could've avoided a lot of trouble if you'd done this earlier, don't you think?" Kasey closed her eyes and opened

them, her lips tightly pressed.
Sasha stood and patted Kasey's shoulder, gesturing for her to leave together.
They quickly reached the hospital.
Sasha signed the compatibility test consent form, and the doctor promised to arrange it soon.
Kasey breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Sasha's signature.
"Sasha..." Kasey took hold of her arm. "Since you're here, come with me to see Nala. It's a chance for you to bond
with her in advance."
Sasha hesitated briefly but nodded in agreement. When they entered the ward, they found Elijah feeding Nala.
As Sasha walked in, Nala fixed her gaze on her. Suddenly, the room felt heavy, suffused with an inexplicable sense
of tension.
"What brings you here?" Elijah frowned, casting a questioning look at Kasey, who avoided eye contact.
He quickly understood the situation but remained silent, focusing on Sasha.
"Are you here to see Nala?" he finally asked.
