Chapter 616
"Are you upset, Chris?" Cyrus questioned.
"Absolutely not. I'm fine with it as long as you spare my children," Chris replied.
"Your children didn't engage in poison, so of course, I won't trouble them. Take your son with you and get lost. Jessie, you stay."

Cyrus stared at her hand, which was riddled with wounds. "I'm going to treat your hand. Otherwise, you'll end up crippled."
A wave of sorrow suddenly flooded through Jessie as she glanced at the dire state of her family. They were her loved ones, yet they ended up this way. Why would her hand matter now?
