“\ihat about me then?"

Annis had appeared at the door.

Alick had made up his mind to be with Annis. Though she wasn't Cathy's biological child, she was her adoptive daughter, and Alick knew he had to discuss his relationship with Annis with Isaac.

He called Annis over.

"Mr. Johnston, Annis has been looking after me all this while. I want to be with her. You won't object, will you?" Alick posed the question.

Before Isaac could answer, Annis swiftly said, "He's not my birth sibling. I'm adopted. I'm not a biological child of my mother. So, he's not a hurdle. If we wish, we can be a pair."

Alick was aware that Annis was Cathy's adopted girl, unrelated to Isaac.

Her ties were just with Cathy.

Regardless, clarity was necessary.

After all, Cathy was Isaac's mother.

Yet, before Alick could articulate his thoughts, Isaac declared, “Your romantic liaison doesn't concern me."

In line with what Annis stated, she was only Cathy's adopted child.

How did that relate to him?

Holding Camila close, he turned to Alick, “With your recovery, it's our turn to head back."

"I'll be heading to the office tomorrow," Alick stated.

Isaac registered his words but chose not to respond. He exited the room, taking Camila with him.

"Is your day packed?" Camila inquired.

Isaac queried, "What's the matter?"

"I have to discuss something with you," stated Camila.

"The recent breakthrough in the medication development was possible because of Harrell's immense help. I thought of hosting a dinner for everyone who has been supportive. If you can squeeze in some time, I'd be happy to have you."
