Chapter 1122:
Her eyes widened in shock, her mind struggling to process what she had just heard.
Holley’s breath caught in her throat as she took in the scene before her—Kylee sobbing uncontrollably, Baker
standing beside her with a grim expression. Her heart clenched. What Kylee had just said must be true.
She had always known Kylee was at risk of infection, but still, she had held onto a sliver of hope, believing that
maybe Kylee wouldn't be infected. After all, Belinda had defied the odds—she wasn’t infected. Belinda’s latest
blood test had cback negative. If Belinda could get through the matter unharmed, why couldn't Kylee?
But reality had delivered a cruel blow.
“Mom, it’s over for me! I'm completely ruined!” Kylee’s cries were filled with despair. “I'm infected with an
incurable disease—what kind of future do | have? What am | supposed to do now?”

The thought of it sent her spiraling into hopelessness.
Holley’s head shook violently. “No! This can’t be happening! There must be a solution! Carola—she’ll figure
something out! And she’ll make those people pay for what they've done to you!”
At the mention of Carola, Kylee’s grief twisted into anger. “Don’t talk about her! She won't avenge me!” she
snapped, her eyes burning with rage. “You know what she told me? She actually said that things between
Belinda andare settled now. That | should just let it go!”
A cold laugh escaped her lips. “What a joke! That woman is not my mother! | refuse to acknowledge a mother
like that!”
“What?” Holley’s expression darkened with fury. “She really said that?”

Kylee nodded.
Holley clenched her fists, her jaw tightening with determination. “Then forget her! | will get justice for you!”
A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes as her face hardened with resolve.
Sniffling, Kylee gripped Holley’s hand. “Mom, | knew | could count on you!”
“Don’t worry. | will help you get back at those people,” Holley assured her, her voice unwavering.
“Don’t be reckless.” Baker finally spoke, his deep voice cutting through the tense atmosphere. His gaze was
heavy as he looked at the mother and daughter. “We've already suffered enough because of rash decisions.”
Holley met his eyes. “I know, Baker. Trust me—I’ll be cautious this time. Ill be patient. I'll make sure we strike
when the tis right.”
Baker studied her carefully before exhaling. “Then | won't say more.”

Kylee didn’t linger much longer. After a brief goodbye, she left.
Once she was gone, Holley turned to Baker. Only then did her tears finally spill over, streaming down her face.
“Baker, we have to do something. We have to make them suffer for what they did to our daughter!”
Baker's face was grim. “You think | don’t feel the spain?” he said, his voice low. “It’s tearingapart
inside! But listen to me, Holley—you can’t afford another reckless mistake. Not this time. If you act rashly again,
there will be no repairing things between you and Belinda. And Mr. Clark... He won't be merciful next time. We
can’t afford to be on the receiving end of his revenge!”
Holley nodded, wiping at her tears. “I know, Baker. This time, | won't act unless I'm absolutely sure | will
succeed.” She had learned her lesson.
“Good,” Baker said, his tension easing slightly.
“By the way,” Holley continued, her voice lowering, “I ctoday because there's something you need to know.
You know Sarai, right?”
