Kitty married into the ke family, leaning on her husband''s influential


    background, unlike Austin, who seemed to overthink everything. After all, it was clear the ke family had more clout than the Cunningham family.


    The Cunningham family wasn''t solely Austin''s domain; there were several cousins involved in the family business, making conflicts inevitable. The stronger your position, the more say you had in family matters.


    So, Austin was particrly courteous to Kitty and showed great affection towards her daughter, Yara.


    "By the way, how''s Yara doingtely? Still busy?" Austin asked, shifting the conversation.


    Mentioning her daughter brought a glow to Kitty''s face. "She never has a day to rest. If she''s not helping her mentor solve tough problems, she''s buried in her cultural studies. She''s been so busy she hasn''t even been home recently."


    Austin nodded. "Being busy is good; she has a bright future ahead."


    Kitty smiled and hummed in agreement. Then, she remembered something urgent and pulled out Donald''s medical report from her bag. "Dr. Keller is truly remarkable. After taking his medication, Dad''s health indicators have almost stabilized. We should be able to find a matching bone marrow donor within these two months."


    Austin nced at the medical report and let out a sigh of relief. "We owe a lot to Yara; without her, we might not have been able to get Dr. Keller to treat Donald."


    What mattered more was that Dr. Keller was also willing to build a connection with him.


    "The main thing now is to find a suitable bone marrow donor," Kitty said quietly.


    "I know," Austin''s gaze hardened before he continued, "Once I''m done with my current tasks, I''ll personally go and ask our elder sister toe back."


    Kitty looked at him, understanding the significance behind his words but chose not to say more.


    Meanwhile, on the other side of town,


    As was reportingst night''s events to Grady. Grady had been traveling back and forth recently and had only just returned to Riverdale. He fiddled with the wooden beads on his wrist as he listened to As''s report, his expression growing colder than usual.


    As cautiously observed Grady and coughed before adding, "Luckily, the young miss wasn''t harmed. I took her to school today, and she seemed as usual, probably not hurt."


    Grady gave him a sharp look. "How can you be so sure the young miss hasn''t been emotionally affected?"


    It''smon for people to pretend everything''s fine on the surface.


    As was momentarily speechless, eventually muttering, "I don''t think the young miss is the type to have poor psychological resilience."


    "Do you think you know her better than she knows herself?" Grady, irritated, grabbed a box of tissues from the desk and threw it at him.


    As didn''t dodge, letting the tissues hit his shoulder harmlessly, thinking to himself how Grady was just envious of his close rtionship with the young miss, yet disguising it under the guise of concern.


    "Should I bring that Song guy over to give him a lesson in psychological resilience?" As pondered, having been tempted to do so sincest night but held back because of Debra.


    Grady red at As. "What''s this talk of bringing people over? We''re in a civilized society; watch yournguage."


    As immediately grasped the implication, nodding solemnly. "Right, right, my mistake. We should invite him over for a lesson in the philosophy of life. After all, he''s Debra''s brother. It''s essential to enhance one''s personal integrity."


    Grady''s lips twitched in annoyance.
