At the hospital, Rosalynn was sitting on a bench in front of the emergency room, waiting for Barlow's operation to finish.

Soon, Karina came.

"Rosalynn."

Rosalynn gave Karina a once-over. Seeing Karina was fine, she stood up and hugged her.

"Karina."

Rosalynn's eyes were once again filled with tears. At this moment, all thoughts of Brian or Barlow left her. All she wanted was to hug her best friend.

Karina ran a gentle hand down her back.

"I'm so glad you're okay.

What happened to Barlow? Is he alright?"

Rosalynn pulled away and straightened, her movements slow and heavy.

“He sustained heavy injuries from a stone that hit his head. He was having difficulty breathing when he was brought to the hospital.

Right now, the doctors are still operating on him, but I don't know what the situation is like."

Barlow was badly injured!

Blood drained from Karina's face, turning her complexion white as a sheet. Despite her visible worry, she forced a smile and feigned calmness.

"As the saying goes, only the good die young. He's a bastard. He'll be fine."

Rosalynn nodded.

"Yeah."

The two gripped each other's hands like a lifeline, unable to say anything else.

After a long moment, Karina spoke.

“Rosalynn, there's something you should know about Kennedi. Do you know that she is the daughter of the former head of Sun Group?"
