"Stage two kidney failure," the doctor informed them after running a series of tests on Samus."Charles, please come to Lucas Hospital," Deborah told him over the phone. Charles was sleeping when the call came. He pulled his phone from the bedside drawer and answered, seeing it was Deborah. He leaped out of his massive, Italian-imported bed."Lucas Hospital! Why do I have to come there? I hope Grandfather is alright?" Charles asked, concerned."It's not Grandfather, it's Samus," Deborah said, crying. She wanted Charles to come so the hospital could examine him too, to see if he had the same kidney problem. At this point, Deborah suspected Samus might have drunk the poison. That would explain the sudden internal organ failure."Grandfather, you also drank some wine at the party. I just hope yours wasn't poisoned too," Deborah cried out. Walter shook his head "No."A few minutes later, Charles arrived at the hospital. "Where can I find you, Deborah?" he called her."Laboratory section,"

Quincy found it very hard to focus at work. Ever since Samus became critically ill, Quincy went to work every day but barely concentrated."Why not take a few weeks' break, sir?" his secretary, Pauline, asked him one morning. She had noticed his repeated mistakes. In the last few days, he had signed the wrong documents and used incorrect figures many times. Pauline, his personal secretary, kept correcting the errors. At first, she thought they were normal mistakes, but when they became constant, she felt she needed to talk to her boss."Why did you suggest I take a break from work, Pauline?" Quincy asked her. He wasn't aware of how serious his mistakes had become."Sir, there have been too many wrong numbers recently, and also wrong signatures," she replied. Quincy looked worried.Pauline brought him the files showing all the mistakes he had made in just one week. She had corrected most of them herself and consulted Scot on others. Quincy looked through the digital files and was amazed

Quincy rushed into the room with Khloe, and indeed, Ashley was not there. They dashed back out to the living room, but Phillip was also gone. How he managed to get into the room and take the little girl without anyone knowing remained a mystery. They had all been seated in the living room moments before, with Phillip standing there, threatening chaos unless Sophia went home with him.A few minutes later, Quincy was hitting Phillip hard across the face. He had spotted him carrying Ashley and hiding in the garage.Quincy wasn't worried that anything serious would happen to Ashley. He knew Phillip wouldn't do more than carry her to another corner of the house. He never feared that Phillip would kidnap or hurt her—not because Phillip wouldn't have the desire, but because Quincy knew Phillip wouldn't succeed.Quincy pulled Phillip up and was about to hit him even harder when he suddenly felt compassion for him; Phillip was his only brother. Somehow, Quincy understood that Phillip was easily

"Samus, you just have to calm down and go with the flow. Just do the registry wedding tomorrow," Deborah tried to persuade Samus to marry Sophia the next day.This whole situation felt very strange to Samus. He clearly remembered how much Sophia liked Scot when they were at the Stones’ house. He couldn't believe she had suddenly stopped loving Scot and now wanted to marry him instead."Samus, just agree to the marriage tomorrow. It took a lot of effort for me to convince Sophia to marry you," Deborah said, and then she quickly left the room.Usually, it was easy for Deborah to get Samus to do what she wanted. But lately, Samus had become very stubborn.It took Lord Walter stepping in to finally convince Samus to marry Sophia. Sophia herself was completely under the influence of the drugs her parents had given her, so she just stared blankly without saying a word.The wedding was small, with only family members attending: Philip, Coco, Deborah, and Lord Walter."Samus, you need to treat

"Grandfather, Sophia is suffering from memory loss. It was caused by Coco and Philip," Deborah told Lord Walter.Lord Walter was holding a glass of water, and the shock of the news made the glass slip from his hand and shatter on the floor."Grandfather, don't panic. I have everything handled," Deborah said. Smiling, she moved behind him and sat down next to him.Lord Walter just kept staring at her, waiting for her to explain her plan."Grandfather, as long as Samus is alive, Sophia will stay his loving wife without causing any trouble," Deborah said, smiling. "Samus will get all the love he deserves from the one woman he loves," she finished with a laugh."She is Quincy Stone's niece. You need to be very careful," Lord Walter warned. "I suggest you don't get involved with the drug issue. Let her parents handle that while we benefit from it," Lord Walter insisted."Her parents are so reckless. Philip doesn't even know the drug's name or the dose they gave her," Deborah replied."Call
