"Sir..." "It must be midnight there, Mr. Iverson. Why aren't you in bed yet?" The person who answered the call was Clarice.
Christopher was surprised. "Ms. Amaryllis?" "It's morning here in Meridan. He is a guest at the Reeds' place and doesn't have tto take your call.” Clarice's perky voice bore disdain. "You can just letknow what you want to say, and I'll relay the message." Christopher frowned and clenched his fists.

"I have given the medicine to Ms. Thompson, and she has accepted it." "Oh, that's great. Congratulations. Ms. Thompson accepted something of yours for once." Clarice mocked.

"What?" "Haha. I'm just kidding. The drug will et work wonders on Wyatt, even better than the Larsons' developed drug. You have nothing to worry about. Once he gets better, the Thompsons will be grateful to you. You can't con strong to Bella. You need to take things slow. Ste it and change her attitude once you help save her father."
