The Billionaire's Last Obsession series 257 Summary Laura returned to her room feeling overwhelmed and emotional. She found an old photo album and, flipping through it quickly, stopped at a picture of two young girls whose resemblance struck her deeply. Tearfully, she whispered a question about Catherine's true identity, revealing her inner turmoil and longing for answers. Meanwhile, Lillian accompanied Geo to a highly secure facility. They were met with strict security as they ascended to a guarded ward.
Along the way, Lillian unexpectedly encountered Fawks, a man she knew slightly, which caused a tense moment between Geo and Fawks. Despite this, Geo led Lillian inside to meet the medical team attending to a critical patient. Inside the ward, the doctors paused their work as Geo and Lillian arrived. Dr. Jorge greeted them warmly, showing unusual respect toward Lillian, who was soon introduced as the new person in charge. Lillian immediately examined the patient, a man in grave condition with bluish skin and supported by a ventilator.
She discovered horrifying clusters of insect eggs and larvae in his blood vessels, a terrifying and unprecedented case. Lillian explained that the parasites likely entered through wounds sustained in combat, possibly from contact with a "death soldier." The medical staff reacted with shock and disbelief. Taking control, Lillian ordered preparations for a complex and urgent procedure involving blood bags, scalpels, and buckets of ice, signaling the seriousness of the situation and her determination to confront it head-on.
Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 257: Conspiracy Laura returned to her room, her mind weighed down by a storm of thoughts. From the lowest shelf of her cabinet, she carefully retrieved an old photo album, its worn cover hinting at the memories within. She flipped through the pages with quick, almost desperate motions until she paused, her breath catching as tears began to spill down her cheeks. Her finger lingered over the image of two young girls, their smiles frozen in time. A soft whisper escaped her lips, trembling with emotion. "The resemblance... it's striking.
Catherine... please, tell me-is she really your daughter?" Later that afternoon, Lillian accompanied Geo to a highly secured facility. The sleek black car came to a halt before an imposing building, its glass facade reflecting the gray sky. As they stepped out, attendants hurried forward, opening the doors with practiced efficiency. Lillian followed closely behind Geo as they made their way directly to the fifth floor. A contingent of staff and armed guards flanked them, maintaining a tight formation.
When the elevator doors slid open, the guards stationed there immediately snapped to attention, their voices respectful and sharp. "Mr. Geo." He responded with a curt nod, his expression unreadable. The group proceeded down a sterile corridor toward a heavily guarded ward. Several soldiers stood watch, their eyes scanning the visitors carefully. One of the guards stepped forward, relief evident in his voice. "Mr. Geo, you've arrived at last." Leaning heavily on his cane, Geo's face was set in a grim mask. His voice lowered as he asked, "Any news yet?" "Not at this time. Dr.

Jorge is already here, along with some senior researchers," the soldier replied. Geo tightened his grip on the cane, then turned to Lillian. "Come on, girl. Let's see for ourselves." Only then did the guards notice the slender figure beside him-a young woman dressed in black sportswear, her baseball cap pulled low to cast a shadow over half her face. "Lillian?" a voice called out hesitantly, as if seeking confirmation. She lifted her head and glanced over. The man standing before her was tall and imposing in full military attire, his sharp features made even more severe by the uniform.
Fate, it seemed, had brought them together again. "Fawks. It's been a long time." It was indeed Fawks. Even Lillian hadn't expected to encounter him here. Geo frowned, puzzled. "So you know him?" Lillian offered a faint smile and nodded. "Yes, but only slightly. We've met twice." Geo shot Fawks a sharp, warning glance before turning back to Lillian. "Not well is better. That boy's no saint." With that, he led Lillian into the ward. Fawks stood frozen for a moment, caught off guard by the exchange. What was that supposed to mean? Still, he hurried after them.
Inside the room, doctors busied themselves around a patient lying on a hospital bed. The moment they spotted Mr. Geo, they immediately set aside their instruments. Dr. Jorge stepped forward to greet him, but when his eyes fell on the girl beside Geo, recognition sparked. A warm smile spread across his face. "Ms. Harrington. I didn't expect Mr. Geo to bring you, but now that you're here, I feel more at ease." Lillian returned the smile politely. "Dr. Jorge, it's been some time." The other doctors exchanged puzzled glances.
Jorge's reputation in the medical community was legendary, yet he spoke to this young woman with an unusual deference. Just then, a middle-aged man wearing a white coat approached. His square jaw and stern demeanor gave him the air of a strict academic. "Dr. Jorge, who is this?" Chuckling, Jorge introduced them. "This is Lillian. Don't let her youth deceive you-her expertise far exceeds mine." Then, turning to Lillian, he added, "And this is Dr. Morris, dean of Kingston General." Once introductions were complete, Geo spoke with authority. "She's in charge now.
Whatever she requires, I expect full cooperation from all of you." Without hesitation, Lillian stepped forward to examine the patient. The man's face was tinged a bluish hue, his breathing supported by a ventilator. Deep sunken eye sockets gave him a gaunt, almost ghostly appearance. One glance was enough for Lillian to see the horror beneath the surface-the man's blood vessels were infested with clusters of insect eggs, some already hatched, larvae writhing through his veins. It was the first time she had come across such a case. Though she had suspected it, a chill ran down her spine.
From the side, Jorge asked cautiously, "Well?" Her brow furrowed in concentration. "It's complicated. The parasites have already embedded themselves in several major blood vessels." "Parasites?" Geo's voice was sharp with surprise. Lillian nodded firmly. "They entered through his wounds-most likely during combat, when he came into contact with the blood of a death soldier." Gasps of disbelief rippled through the surrounding staff. Her tone shifted to brisk command as she issued instructions. "Prepare blood bags and scalpels.
Also, bring four buckets filled with ice immediately." Conclusion The chapter closes on a poignant note, with Laura's quiet moment of vulnerability revealing the deep emotional currents that run beneath the surface of the unfolding drama.
