Meanwhile, at the door of the ICU.

Katie stared at the phone in her hand as she squeezed it out of frustration. How could Mitchel be so cold and ruthless? Didn't he have an iota of humanity in him?

Katie closed her eyes for a moment and placed a hand on her forehead.

There wasn't much time left for her.

At that moment, Abel, Katie's bodyguard, appeared.

Seeing him, Katie asked, "Has the medicine been taken care of?"

Abel nodded and whispered, "Yes, all taken care of. No one will be able to find out that the root cause of Mr. Glyn's heart attack was his intake of the wrong medication."

Hearing this, Katie smiled weakly and nodded. To induce complications in her father, she had earlier instructed Abel to give her father a medication that was in contradiction to what he had been prescribed by the doctor.

Of course, if there had been another way for Katie to achieve what she wanted, she wouldn't have carried out such a drastic measure.

All she needed was for her father to remain in a coma for at least another half month. That should be enough time for her to achieve her goals.

Though she knew that what she did would surely damage her father's physical functions, she wasn't that concerned. After all, her father was going to kick the bucket someday. And the sooner he died, the sooner she could take his place.

By harming her father's health, Katie had bought herself a meager half month. But she was confident that in that short space of time, she would be able to marry Mitchel.

Feeling displeased, Katie wanted to lighten up her mood. Pushing the door to the VIP Lounge open, she gestured at Abel to follow her in, which he did.

Luxurious and beaming with splendor, the lounge was indeed high-end.

Katie walked up to a chair, sat on it, and studied Abel as a queen would study her subject. "Kneel and please me," she commanded imperiously.

Hearing this, Abel's eyes twitched slightly, but he didn't blink. He walked up to Katie and neatly prostrated himself.

At this moment, he could feel his spirits lighting up. He had never felt so alive.

Abel had been born and brought up on the Dark Island, and Katie's father had parted with a huge sum of money to secure Abel, assigning him as Katie's protector.

Katie's father knew the loyalty of the Dark Island's assassins was deep-rooted. Their loyalty to their master was for a lifetime.

However, Katie's father couldn't have foreseen that the bodyguard he personally selected for Katie would be the one to give him lethal medication. He had underestimated the degree of how loyal the Dark Island's assassins were.
