?<strong>Chapter 1002:</strong>


    Carrie quickly tugged at his arm. “Luca, please, don’t talk like that. You need to be around for a long, long time. Let’s not speak of such dark things.”


    Arion, taking a thoughtful sip of water, interjected, “In my opinion, we might be better off not stirring things up. This isn’t a trivial matter. For Kelsey, Carrie is more than just family; she’s a potential lifesaver. We don’t fully understand the severity of her condition. Carrie could be herst hope.”


    Reece followed up on that thought. “Exactly, if Kelsey’s situation is as dire as it sounds, it could spell trouble for all of us.”


    Luca mmed his hand down on the table, his expression turning stormy. “How dare they?”


    Carrie gently grabbed Luca’s arm and shook it.


    Before she could utter a word, Luca faced her with a grave expression. “Carrie, what’s your opinion? You’re entitled to a stake in the Hinks family. The Morrison family might not need their riches, but if you desire it, we’re behind you to im what’s rightfully yours. Alternatively, if you question Kelsey’s sincerity and don’t want any connection with her family, I will make sure this test stays confidential.”


    After pondering briefly, Carrie exchanged looks with Arion. “Arion has a point; avoiding trouble is best. Let’s act as if today’s test didn’t happen. My grandmother was merely a gentle old woman from a humble town, not an heiress from the Hinks family.”


    Kody gave a reassuring nod. “Dad, Carrie, I’ve got this covered.”


    Kody fabricated a DNA match between a deceased person’s biological sample and the blood sample from the gynecologist. Although it appeared straightforward, the operation demanded meticulous attention; every detail and timeline needed perfect alignment. The Hinks family was vignt. Any minor slip could unravel the n.


    Kelsey and Jacob were utterly shocked by the convincingly detailed evidence Kody presented. Their expressions shifted from disbelief to a resigned sadness.


    They had never thought their newfound hope would be cut off so abruptly.


    Facing the realities of life and death, even the bravest find themselves desperate to cling to life.

    Despite their immense wealth and power, the Hinks family felt utterly helpless against the ravages of disease and mortality.


    Kelsey attempted a brave face, telling Kody, “I apologize for my embarrassing disy, Mr. Morrison. Perhaps I’m just cursed. My mother left when I was young, and then this bizarre illness struck me. Just as there was hope for a cure, myst living rtive died.”


    Jacob squeezed her hand. “That’s not true. You have me.”


    Kody, devoid of empathy for Kelsey, thought about how Carrie might have been exploited by the Hinks family had it not been for the Morrison family. He offered a polite constion. “Ms. Hinks, don’t be too hard on yourself. Modern medicine hase a long way. I can introduce you to some leading hematologists.”


    Despite her fatigue, Kelsey managed a weak smile and nodded politely. “Thank you, Mr. Morrison. That’s very kind.”
