Joy couldn't hold back her tears. Her eyes reddened as she looked at Allison. "Ms. Allison... if Peyton really..."
Before she could finish, Allison cut her off immediately. "No! Peyton will be fine!"
Joy choked up, pressing her lips tightly together to hold back the tears.
Allison was distracted the entire afternoon. She took a moment to make a phone call.
"Still no match for the bone marrow?"
The person on the other end replied, "Ms. Allison, we're doing everything we can to find a match. We'll notify you

Joshua looked at her with concern. "Allie, is there something on your mind?"

The warmth of his hand gave Allison a sense of comfort.
"Okay." She tucked away her worries, a small smile on her lips. Joshua truly could help with this. She wasn't short

After parking, he entered the villa's main hall when Thomas' call cthrough.
"Sir, we have a lead. I'm outside now. May | cin to report?"
"Cin."
Thomas entered, wrapped in the cold night air. Joshua poured a cup of warm water and sat on the sofa with a
stern gaze. "Speak."
Thomas kept his head down, cautiously glancing at Joshua. "The people who took Sue are connected to Chris."
At the mention of that name, Joshua's eyes sharpened. "Chris?"
Thomas nodded nervously.
