Word on the street was that Karan really took Tyler, her stepson, to heart. Hackett once went off the
deep end, calling Tyler a good–for–nothing, refusing to hold a big funeral for him. But Karan and
Hackett had a knock–down–drag–out over this. She insisted, no matter how bad Tyler’s rep was, he

In the end, Hackett caved and let Karan take charge of the funeral. Those who came to pay respects at
the Howell family said Karan was prostrate before Tyler’s picture, crying her eyes out so much she
almost passed out, and had to be supported by the Howell family. The word got around that Karan was
a hell of a good stepmom and Tyler was an ungrateful stepson.-

any way.
Observing Liana’s behavior, Eleanor and Hailey chose not to probe further. They assured her that they

acknowledged their offer and encouraged them to focus on their own responsibilities.
Eleanor had her designs to work on, and Hailey was busy running a nightclub. Both of them were
swamped with their own tasks, and Liana didn’t want to cause any additional inconvenience for them
after all the trouble she had already caused.
After giving the injection, Liana bent down to comfort the child with a smile while discreetly
administering the shot.

She leaned against the wall, waiting for her mood to stabilize, when a doctor walked by.
“Dr. Terrill, are you okay?”
Liana had been keeping busy, whether it was neurosurgery or internal medicine, she’d lend a hand
wherever needed. Now she was even in pediatrics, making people wonder if Dr. Terrill was setting an
example, or numbing herself with work.
“I’m fine.”
Liana waved him off, telling him to go about his business, then forced her tired body back to Will’s
room.
