"When did Mr. York arrive?" Kathryn asked.

Hayden replied, "He got here not long ago. We heard you were in the hospital, so he came with us to see you."

Zachary had told Serenity he was going on a business trip, but he had actually come to Jensburg. He planned to return to Wiltspoon only after assessing the situation in Jensburg and discussing the next steps with Liberty. It would take just two or three days. He couldn't stay too long, fearing Serenity might replace out.

Kathryn smiled, "Mr. York is very considerate."

Strictly speaking, Kathryn was a few years younger than Zachary, but since she was Serenity's aunt, she was Zachary's elder. Zachary should call her aunt. It's customary for the younger generation to visit their elders out of respect, even if everyone knows the underlying reasons.

If Kathryn hadn't tipped off Liberty, the people in Wiltspoon wouldn't be so friendly to her. Even if they were, they would remain wary of her. Kathryn understood this; if she were in their shoes, she wouldn't handle things as well as the people in Wiltspoon.

"Then I'll wait for you," Kathryn said.

"Okay, see you later," Hayden replied, ending the call.

Kathryn turned to Pedro, "Let's eat quickly. Miss Queen and the others are on their way to the hospital. Did you know Zachary is here?"

Pedro responded, "I heard about it just now. Mr. York keeps a low profile when he arrives; I didn't want to worry you."

Kathryn was silent for a moment,

then said, "Although my mom hasn't made any moves, the more people from Wiltspoon come, the more nervous and worried I become After all, she's my biological mother. I still hope she's well, but..."

Killing must be paid for with a life. Her mom had killed her aunt's family and didn't even spare her aunt. To climb to the top, her hands were stained with blood. After reaching the top, she didn't treat her family well, causing dissatisfaction among everyone. Even though forty or fifty years had passed, the previous events might not sentence her mom to death, but they could ruin her reputation. Kathryn wasn't on the same page as her mom and worried that when the day of reckoning came, her mom, who had been

strong all her life, might choose an

extreme way out.

Pedro said, "What is destined to happen will happen, and you can't escape it."

"I want to make amends for my

mom, but it doesn't work. She

doesn't want to make amends just

want her to replace peace," Kathryn sighed again. "Let it be. I've done my best as a daughter."

"Let's eat," she added, as Hayden and the others were coming, and Kathryn wouldn't be able to eat once they arrived.
