Chapter 292

Jennifer forced a bitter smile. "Look at that, cold-hearted William," she muttered. She was supposed to be the one married to William, but Christina had swooped in and taken her place!

She was filled with hatred!

William and Christina left with their child, but soon after, a massive fire broke out at the steel mill.

This was William's doing. He wanted Jennifer to die cleanly, ensuring she could never appear before him again!

However, they hadn't anticipated that after they left, Casey would quickly arrive, pick up Jennifer, feed her a small pill, and administer acupuncture.

He held Jennifer close. "Jennifer, you're too foolish. How could you take such a risky move?"

Jennifer smiled bitterly. "Because I love him..."

Meanwhile, Christina took the child to the hospital.

Joseph personally examined the child, finding no abnormalities.

But Jennifer's words still echoed in Christina's mind.

Christina was frantic. "Joseph, please, you have to check again. I can't let anything happen to Harper!"

No matter the cost, Harper couldn't be harmed!

Joseph was doing everything he could to examine Harper.

There were still no abnormalities until Harper woke up and vehemently rejected Christina. "Get away from me! You're not my mom! Where's my mom? I want my mom!"

This was heartbreaking for Christina.

Her beloved daughter didn't remember her!

Not just her, but William too!

Harper was rejecting both of them. "I don't know you! Stay away from me! Don't come near me!"

This was devastating for them. Harper's leukemia hadn't even been cured yet, and now this was happening. It was like tearing Christina's heart apart.

William was deeply hurt, but he knew he had to be stronger than Christina.

He comforted Christina. "Christina, don't be afraid. As long as we persist and work together, we can bring Harper back to her senses."

Joseph even suggested, "Given Harper's current condition, she needs treatment. Since she's rejecting you, why not hire a nanny?"

Given their situation, hiring a nanny was the most reliable option.

Christina wanted to care for Harper herself, but since Harper was rejecting her, this was the only solution.

Meanwhile, Jennifer was being rescued by Casey, and everything was going according to plan.

Casey transformed Jennifer, giving her a new identity as Thora White, the youngest daughter of the White Family, and she returned to Stargate City.

Casey used the best medication, but her recovery period was supposed to be half a month.

Jennifer was anxious. "Half a month is too long! I need to be back in Stargate City within five days!"

"Jennifer, that's impossible. Everything takes time..."

"I don't want to hear that, Casey. You're the best medical researcher, right? You know so many people and have achieved so much! This should be a piece of cake for you!"

Jennifer interrupted Casey before he could finish.

Jennifer's agitation made her look somewhat ferocious.

Casey felt sorry for her. "Don't get so worked up. It's bad for your health. I'll help you. I'll do everything as you say."

Casey not only felt sorry for her but also loved her, willing to do anything for her, even if it meant risking his own life.

For the next five days, Jennifer endured a grueling regimen of medications and injections.

Her body fought against the drugs, and some reactions nearly killed her. But she pushed through it all with one thought in mind: she had to return to William under a new identity!

During these five days, Christina and William were desperately searching for a nanny but had no luck.

Until the seventh day.

Joseph, as Harper's attending physician, took Harper for a walk. Harper saw a woman in a white dress approaching and immediately ran up to her.

"Mommy!"

Joseph quickly ran over. "Harper, you've got the wrong person. This isn't your mom!"

"No, I didn't get it wrong. She is my mommy!" Harper clung to the woman and refused to let go, leaving Joseph helpless.

Until Christina and William arrived.

They couldn't let their daughter cling to a stranger and call her mommy, nor could they let Harper affect others.

Christina wanted to forcibly take Harper away.

Unexpectedly, the woman squatted down and gently stroked Harper's head. "Sweetie, you've got the wrong person. I'm not your mommy."

"No, you are!"

Harper was stubborn.

The woman had no choice. "Okay, I am. But can you listen to mommy and let go of me first?"

"Okay."

Harper obediently complied.

This scene surprised Christina and William, but it pained Christina even more.

Her well-behaved, closest daughter was calling someone else mommy and being so intimate with her!

Unexpectedly, Harper followed the woman.

Christina had an idea. Why not let this woman take care of Harper first, and then she could slowly build a relationship with Harper?

For Harper's sake, she approached the woman.

The woman was startled. "I just arrived in this city to reunite with my family. I'm not even married yet. Asking me to take care of your daughter might not be appropriate. I still need to get married in the future."

"You can stay at my place. As long as you don't go out, no one will know." Christina's mind was solely focused on Harper, not considering the consequences.

William secretly took a photo of the woman and investigated her, discovering that she was Thora White, the youngest daughter of the White Family, recently brought back from the countryside.

Her background was clean.

So, William shared Christina's idea and even proposed, "It's not free to take care of Harper. I'll pay you one billion dollars."

Thora secretly sneered. She hadn't expected William and Christina to go to such lengths for Harper!

But then again, how could she pass up such a good opportunity?

So, Thora was invited into William's mansion to take care of Harper, and the White Family was also supported by William.

However, William remained cautious, having someone secretly observe Thora.

For over half a month, Thora showed no abnormalities. Under her care, Harper gradually returned to her lively self.

Thora even facilitated interactions between Christina and Harper, becoming good friends with Christina.

But Christina never expected that her newly made friend would eventually cause a rift because of a photo, a shocking revelation that left Christina unable to react for a long time.
