Goodbye, My Love

On hearing that, Marina’s frown deepened as she prodded, “Then hasten.

Mrs. Bryant requires it.”

She stressed the identity of Mrs. Bryant deliberately to signal to these doctors that despite she and Laura Losing their power, they still belonged to the Bryant family. She was oblivious to the fact that her words bore a deeper implication in their minds.

Reech moved closer to her. He pitched his voice lower, ingratiating himself, “Miss Bryant, I’ll ensure someone attends to it promptly! You see, I’m extending a favor today. Could you possibly vouch for me at the Bryant Group in the future, maybe even aiding in advancing my position?”

This was the inaugural instance when someone approached Marina concerning the Bryant Group matters, sparking a sense of pride within her. Post the illegitimate child incident, it appeared as though everyone now perceived her as the true powerhouse of the Bryant Group.

Even the residual resentment from the shareholders’ meeting with Marco had somewhat evaporated.

Marina maintained her composure and offered a cryptic smile. “Rest assured, Dr. Akinson. With your assistance today, once I reclaim control of the Bryant Group, I will certainly address this matter for you.”

Reech’s elation soared, and he continued to heap praises on Marina, making her feel as if she were on top of the world.

Concurrently, the other doctors in the laboratory displayed no shock

They continued their tasks, unperturbed by the unfolding events. It was evident that this wasn’t Reech’s first stint at such behavior.

Utilizing the title of Mrs. Bryant, Marina wielded her clout, and the hospital accorded her respect, giving her case precedence and extending special treatment. Within a few hours, the paternity test results were at hand.

Reech, eager to flaunt his authority in Marina’s presence, feigned solemnity as he questioned his subordinate, “Have the results been finalized? What are the findings?” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The intern shifted his gaze between Marina and Reech, confusion evident in his expression. Regardless, he shook his head and responded,

“Director, these two individuals do not share a blood relationship.”

His demeanor suggested that the outcome was anticipated. Marina’s face was a picture of elation. She yanked the test report from the intern’s grasp without even perusing it, satisfied with the outcome, and promptly exited the hospital.

Once Marina had departed, the intern was left in utter bewilderment. He mumbled, puzzled, “Director, Mrs. Bryant is significantly advanced in age. Why would she require a paternity test? Is it possible for her to conceive an illegitimate child at this age?”

He was interrupted mid-sentence by a firm slap on his head from Reech.

“Your comprehension is lacking! When it comes to matters of the influential, it’s best to keep your nose out!”

Despite sharing similar doubts, Reech refrained from voicing them. To him, the matters of the rich and powerful held little significance compared to the effortless wealth and prestige he enjoyed.

Recalling Marina’s surreptitious visit today, Reech opted for extra caution. He summoned the intern closer and murmured, “Avoid circulating rumors about today’s events, and, by the way, the cost of this

test will be deducted from your salary.”

The intern’s eyes bulged, his face flaming in indignation.

Nevertheless, he bit his tongue, silently seething as he watched Reech saunter away nonchalantly, hands folded behind his back.

Elsewhere, Marina, jubilant, clutched the test report and prepared to return to the Bryant villa.
