Goodbye, My Love

Chapter 1327



With the strand of hair securely in her possession, Marina’s spirits soared. She finally examined Carl, the assistant who had perpetually lingered in Marco’s shadow.

Carl was indeed attractive. Boasting well-chiseled facial features and a well-proportioned physique, he surpassed many of the heirs of the wealthy families she was acquainted with.

A notion flashed through Marina’s mind. She seized Carl’s hand, leaning in with a flirtatious gesture. “Mr. Dixon, I appreciate your assistance this time. If you continue to serve me in the future…”

But the instant she approached closer, Carl deftly sidestepped her, his eyes reflecting a hint of terror. He cleared his throat, attempting to regain his composure.

“Miss Bryant, my presence here is only temporary. I’m heavily engaged with work at the company and need to return immediately. If Marco grows suspicious, we risk exposure, which could have catastrophic consequences.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Marina nodded in agreement, completely oblivious to Carl’s deception.

She hastily implored him to Leave.

Subsequently, she retrieved the strand of hair Carl had given her, sealed within a specimen bag, and scrutinized it under the sunlight.

The longer she Looked, the greater her satisfaction and euphoria grew.

This single strand of hair was the gateway to the lavish lifestyle she and Laura aspired to.

Stealing a glance at the time, Marina sprang into action. She flagged down a taxi and proceeded directly to one of the hospitals under the

Bryant family’s jurisdiction for a paternity test.

Upon arrival at the hospital, Marina quickly navigated to the laboratory. Her focus was laser-sharp, intent on getting the paternity test conducted as swiftly as possible, entirely ignorant of Loraine, who coincidentally emerged from a nearby office.

As Loraine’s gaze landed on a hurried figure, a sense of recognition enveloped her. She took a second glance and confirmed that it was, indeed, Marina.

What could possibly bring Marina to the hospital? And why the rush?

Loraine didn’t have the leisure to mull over it as a doctor appeared behind her, bearing a medical report. The doctor offered a smile, saying, “Miss Torres, your grandfather’s post-operative status has stabilized, and from now on, he simply needs ample rest.”

Relief washed over Loraine. Ever since Aldo was discharged from the hospital, he seemed to be faring well, reminiscent of his former self.

Yet, Loraine knew that Aldo was inherently stoic and might be downplaying any discomfort he experienced. Her concern was incessant.

When she had shared her worries with Marco, he had suggested this hospital for a follow-up examination.

This hospital, part of the Bryant family’s holdings, had transitioned into something akin to a private institution, notably famous for its exceptional nursing care.

Initially, Aldo was hesitant to visit a hospital affiliated with the

Bryant name. It was only after Loraine’s persistent coaxing that he consented to undergo the examination here.

Seeing the report, which showed all parameters within normal Limits, with the doctor pointing out minor issues that Aldo had previously overlooked, and with recommendations for Lifestyle alterations and care instructions, Loraine finally found solace.
