Chapter 1555:
For years, he had cultivated her with painstaking care—not to watch her stumble into a snare, but to empower
her to defy the hand of fate and forge her own destiny.
Sthings, however, seemed they were meant to happen.
No matter how circumstances shifted and turned, events appeared destined to follow their prescribed course.
Maybe this was meant to be.
Leland contemplated briefly before responding with measured words. “The white pieces withdraw while black
advances relentlessly, threatening to command the entire board.”
Any attempt to alter the current trajectory now risked collapsing everything they had built.
Carl exhaled heavily. “Perhaps | should finally accept what cannot be changed.”
After dinner, Corrine returned to her room.
The rapping of knuckles against the door broke her reverie moments later.
“Cin.”
The door swung open to reveal Rachel once again.

“Corrine, this is...” Rachel faltered, extending the medicine with uncertain hands. Remembering Nate's precise
instructions, she quickly amended, saying, “Remember to take your medicine on time.”
Corrine’s brow furrowed as she eyed the medicine on the table. “What is this?”
Rachel studied Corrine’s puzzled expression, her gaze flickering momentarily before she fabricated an air of
nonchalance. “The day before yesterday, you were burning with fever for an entire day,” she explained. “Nate
grew concerned about your unstable condition, so he taskedwith delivering this medicine. Make sure you
take it as prescribed.”
With that, Rachel pivoted toward the exit.
Intrigued by the vague explanation hovering in the air between them, Corrine called out, “Wait a minute!”

Rachel, having barely turned away, masked a knowing smile before responding, “What?”
“Do you mean he tended tofor a whole day while | was feverish?” Corrine’s lips pressed into a thin line,
unease rippling across her features.
Noticing Corrine’s curiosity finally breaking through her reserve, Rachel abandoned her pretense. “Nate
mentioned that after you were rescued that night, you developed a high fever. His worry kept him at your
bedside caring for you. He intended to provide the medicine himself after completing his business at the police
station, but your early departure forced him to entrust it to me, along with instructions for its timely
consumption. If there's nothing else, I'll head out now.”
Rachel observed Corrine’s expression before silently slipping away.
