Chapter 1413: Chapter 1385 Knowing Father is Sick (First Update) Chapter 1413: Chapter 1385 Knowing Father is Sick (First Update) The reason he let it slide was, presumably, because he had carefully weighed the pros and cons. Mario Yuno only won so much, and if he had handed it over, Kiara might have thrown a fit. To miss an opportunity similar to an undercover operation where he could interact with various people would make gathering intelligence much harder in the future.

Besides, consider the cost of hiring Yuzo Joel, whereas hiring Kiara… was free. He had played his cards well.

“Look, we had agreed to have dinner together, and now it’s all fallen through. See, Wendy is upset too,” Kiara complained.

“Mind your enlightenment!”

Kiara pulled a face at him, so sanctimonious!

When they arrived at their destination, Kiara followed Mario into the building. It was the same Captain who had welcomed them last time. Seeing Kiara not eating ice cream but holding her child instead didn’t seem to elicit any particular reaction from him; he probably got used to it.

“Where’s the person?” Kiara asked.

“In the Interrogation Room. He hasn’t said a word since we caught him. His Boss has already hired a lawyer, so time is of the essence and the task is urgent. Thank you for your trouble, Dr. Clark.”

Kiara handed her child to Mario Yuno and entered the Interrogation Room herself.

Around her neck, she still had a pill given by Yuzo Joel, the kind that could induce a hypnotic state in a short time. Kiara originally wanted to resolve the situation quickly but was reluctant to use her last pill. Seeing that there was no urgent need for time, she decided to use her negotiation skills to gradually wear down the suspect.

Mario Yuno waited Outside with Wendy. Wendy was well-behaved as long as one of her parents was with her, and she didn’t seem uncomfortable with the place. The adorable child attracted the attention of many staff members. Wendy wasn’t afraid of these uniformed individuals, but she maintained her cool expression in front of strangers, just like when she was outside with her father.

Kiara’s talk took a bit longer this time. She wanted to use this opportunity to test what she had learned recently. It took almost 3 hours before she came out, but she looked very troubled.

Mario Yuno, holding the now-sleeping Wendy, greeted her.

“Did you encounter some tricky issues?”

Kiara nodded and then shook her head; this was not the place to talk.

“I’ve said everything that needed to be said, and the details are recorded by the police who followed me in. The rest can be left to them.”

If it wasn’t work-related, then why did his daughter-in-law look like this?

Mario Yuno suppressed the questions in his heart, and they both left together.

“Are you hungry? Shall I take you for some late-night food?” Mario Yuno asked.

Kiara shook her head, “I don’t feel like eating.”

She felt completely disheartened as if there was a gaping hole in her heart. She learned something very serious from the suspect’s mouth; so serious that Mrs. Kiara felt light on her feet as if stepping on cotton, ready to faint at any moment.

From her unusual demeanor, Mario Yuno too sensed an oppressive feeling as if a storm cloud was bearing down upon the city, and he looked at her with questioning eyes.

Kiara paused for a moment before speaking gravely.

“My father might… really be sick.”

“Huh?” How did an interrogation of a suspect lead to Yuzo Joel?

“What that person said… his other objective for coming here was to find my father and tamper with his regular medication to create the illusion of an accidental death.”

This was probably a situation even Yuzo Joel hadn’t anticipated.

The suspect was an international assassin, whom Mario Yuno and his team had been searching for. Yuzo Joel had happened to spot him in the crowd and sold Mario Yuno a favor, intending for Mario to have less work and more time to spend with his wife and child.

But she hadn’t expected to accidentally find out during an interrogation that this person’s target was actually Yuzo Joel!

“Your dad is sick?” Mario Yuno remembered that last time Yuzo Joel faked illness to scare Kiara, and because of that incident, Kiara was almost listed as a ‘do not contact’ person.

After Yuzo Joel and Kiara recognized each other, their relationship had been steadily improving, but the actual time they spent together was not much. Every time she saw him, he was always laughing and joking around; he didn’t seem like he was sick at all.

“It’s… a rare cardiovascular disease with an incidence of one in a million. Currently, there’s no specific cure, only maintenance treatments, and it will lead to heart failure in the later stages.”

Kiara’s eyes were empty when she spoke.

She still couldn’t bear to associate such cruel words with Yuzo Joel.

She had been separated from him for nearly half her life and had gone through so much just to recognize him again. Just as their relationship was gradually improving, she learned this news; it was like a blow to the head, leaving Kiara completely unable to recover.

“Are you sure he’s telling the truth? Is there a possibility he’s lying?” Mario Yuno tried to guide her towards a more hopeful perspective.

Kiara now also hoped that the person was lying. She suddenly thought of the medicine called “brain-damaged pills” that Yuzo Joel wanted to take previously in the hospital.

Could it be… that the medicine was real?

“You don’t understand the situation yet, and worrying isn’t helping. Let’s figure it out first,” Mario Yuno could only comfort Kiara this way.

Kiara’s face was ashen. After saying all that, she sat with a vacant look in her eyes, silent, which made Mario Yuno feel heartache, but he couldn’t feel sad for her.

The journey of a daughter-in-law searching for her father was so long. When the clouds finally parted to reveal the sun, sudden bad news hit. It was an indescribably complex feeling.

Kiara couldn’t eat dinner at all. It was only when Mario Yuno used the excuse of Wendy needing to be fed that he managed to coax her into eating a bowl of porridge. When she got home, she went straight to the computer desk, turned it on, and began searching for information.

Mother Yuno, who had been waiting on the sofa for their return, put down the novel. She had wanted to settle the account with the youngest about the scribbles on her book, but she was startled by the somber faces of Mario Yuno and Kiara.

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

Having settled Wendy, Mario Yuno returned to the living room and asked Mother Yuno in a low voice.

“Mom, have you ever heard of this disease?” He mentioned a string of complex medical terms.

“Oh, that,” Mother Yuno exclaimed, “that’s a rare disease, an incurable chronic condition. There are more female patients than males. What happened, does someone have this disease?”

“It’s… one of our friends.”

“This is very rare. Last year, our hospital treated a patient with this condition, and it was very painful. The treatment fee for this disease is especially expensive, shockingly so, and most families can’t afford it–if your friend’s condition is serious, do they need donations or something?”

“Money isn’t the problem, the issue is…”

It was the fact it was incurable that truly terrified Mario Yuno.

Money, beyond a certain point, is just a bunch of numbers. Even a world-renowned authority with the power to influence greatly cannot escape birth, aging, sickness, and death. No amount of money can buy health, and that is truly terrifying.

Mario Yuno looked worriedly towards the closed door, thinking about the stormy emotions that Kiara must be experiencing right now.

He felt agonized on her behalf, yet he was unable to take that pain for her.

Kiara sat in front of the computer, flipping through page after page. She kept her composure at first, but after going around in circles, her eyes started to redden bit by bit. Why was it all so cruel?
