?Chapter 1133:


    A small smile formed on Katie’s lips. So she had misunderstood. Brendon had no intention of betraying Ynda. Ynda had always treated her well. She was determined to stand by Ynda and wouldn’t let anyone hurt her.


    At the hospital, Brendon pushed open the door quietly and walked into the ward. The caregiver nced up, and he motioned for them to step out for a bit. Brendon sat gently on the edge of the bed. “Ynda, are you still awake?” he asked softly.


    “Mmm,” Ynda murmured as she sat up and wrapped her arms around him. “After everything you’ve done for me today, how could I sleep now? Thank you, Brendon… You’re too good to me.”


    She had watched his livestream—he had pleaded for King to treat her for hours. His devotion touched her and made her waver a bit over her ploy. But that feeling didn’tst long. There was nothing wrong with her ambition to climb higher. Brendon was loyal now, sure, but what aboutter? He had once entertained the notion of reconciling with Christina. She wasn’t naive enough to believe his feelings for her would never change again.


    Suddenly, Brendon’s phone buzzed. He answered quickly. On the other end was a voice—t, mechanical—impossible to tell if it belonged to a man or a woman. “If you can pray on the highest peak in Dorfield for nine days straight, King will extend your wife’s life.”<fn76b2> Checktest chapters at FιndNovel</fn76b2>


    Brendon’s eyes widened. “Wait—what? Are you serious?”


    “Very. The news will be made public tomorrow. Just wait for the announcement.”


    “Alright! I’ll go right away! I just hope King keeps their word.”


    “Of course. But remember—this only extends her life. It won’t cure her.”


    Brendon hesitated for half a second and then nodded. “Understood.”


    He hung up, heart racing—shock, relief, hope, all at once. Ynda really had a chance. King’s willingness to extend her life was a good start. A full cure would surely follow in time.


    Ynda’s ears pricked up the second she heard Brendon mention King. A spark of joy flickered through her chest. Could his n actually work? Did this mean King had agreed to help her? She forced herself to tamp down her excitement, keeping her tone calm as she asked softly, “Brendon… you mentioned King just now. Does that mean you’ve actually convinced King?”

    “With persistencees reward,” Brendon said, almost bursting with excitement. “King has agreed—to extend your life.”


    “Extend?” Ynda’s brows drew together, a ripple of disappointment running through her. “Not a full cure?”


    What good was just extending instead of a full cure? Wouldn’t she still be stuck with the same pain?


    “Ynda, think about it,” Brendon coaxed gently. “King already agreed to step in. Maybe one day, if in a good mood, King will actually cure you.”


    Ynda turned his words over in her mind and thought he had a point. She pressed, “There must be some price. What does King ask for in return?”
