483 Chapter 482
Austin furrowed his brows and looked at Party A’s full company name on the contract, feeling he might have read it wrong.
He rubbed his eyes and looked again.
Typically, when they purchased drugs from a scientific research institute, the Gill Group was always Party A, but at this moment, the other party’s contract stated that Party A was not the Gill family, but-
Watson Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
This name sounded somewhat unfamiliar.
Yet it also felt familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Austin pondered for a moment with furrowed brows but still couldn’t remember where he had seen it, so he simply frowned and turned to Keira. “Keera, we are the buyers, and you are the sellers. By rights, we should be Party A.”
But Keira replied, “I’m sorry, our pharmaceutical research institute has always been party A when it comes to selling drugs.”
483 Chapter 482
Austin immediately wanted to say something but was scolded by Lady Gill. “Austin, don’t be disrespectful to
Miss Olsen!”
Austin just pouted and turned his head away with a grumble.
Keira had achieved her goal, and besides, Nara was no longer in critical condition, and when she would wake up was merely a matter of time.
Keira decided not to stay there with the mother and son. She greeted Matias and then left the hospital.
Austin couldn’t help but complain to Lady Gill as soon as she left. “Mom! Look at how demanding she is! In all of Clance’s pharmaceutical companies, aside from Nora Research Institute, no company dares to act as Party A when working with us!”
Lady Gill glared at him. “Are you not going to repay her for saving your sister?!”
Austin was speechless.
Only then did he reluctantly lower his gaze and, after a long while, said, “I’ll have someone stamp the contract tomorrow and send it to her.”

“Good.”
After Lady Gill said that, she kept her gaze on the ICU.
She wasn’t concerned about the contract; she only hoped her daughter would wake up sooner.
Noticing Lady Gill’s gaze, Austin couldn’t help but look
toward the ICU ward.
He stared at that door, his expression gradually becoming lost and hesitant until it ultimately became helpless and bewildered.
He knew his sister’s plight today wasn’t all Jackson’s
fault.
He was more to blame.
Assaulting Jackson was merely an attempt to vent his feelings of powerlessness.
Yes, powerlessness.
At this moment, he finally understood what the Crera proverb “karma goes full circle” and “good and evil will come back around” really meant.
He had grown up in the Gill family, and because his sister was snatched away, his mother’s affection for
483 Chapter 482
him became double as if to make up for the lost share of his sister.
He was spoiled to the point of losing control and lived in a daze all these years.
Having had enough of the life of luxury, he found it unstimulating, so he always sought something exciting to feel that he was still alive.
That was why he bragged about sleeping with Mary…
That was why he took joy in bullying others, watching them unable to fight back.
Even when pushing Nara to jump off the building, he was still feeling impatient!
How could he treat a girl like that?!
He shouldn’t have treated her that way, even if she
wasn’t his sister!
Austin gazed at Nara on the hospital bed regretfully. Suddenly, his legs gave way, and he knelt in front of the ICU ward.
Lady Gill’s fingers tightened, but she didn’t stop him.
Matias stared fiercely at them; he thought Austin
483 Chapter 482
should kneel and atone for his previous actions!
If it weren’t for Austin’s indulgence or the Gill family’s protection, Jackson couldn’t have pushed his sister to this extreme.
The culprits who drove his sister to jump from the building weren’t just Jackson. Lady Gill and Austin weren’t innocent either!
All three of them were murderers!
Matias clenched his fists and suddenly charged forward, striking Austin’s back with his stick again. “Get out! Nara refuses to wake up. I’m sure she doesn’t want to see you! Both of you, get out! Don’t stay here!”
Austin dared not fight back and knelt silently. He bowed his head without speaking.
With every blow from Matias’s stick, he would tremble slightly. After the fifth strike, he uncontrollably dodged backward.
Matias kept hitting. “Get out! If you stay here, my sister won’t wake up!”
Upon hearing this, Austin was slightly stunned.
Matias then turned to Lady Gill. “And you, get out with
483 Chapter 482
him!”
Lady Gill’s face was tense, her eyes welling up. “Fine, we’ll leave.”
Lady Gill wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Austin also stood up, staggering as he followed Lady Gill.
Neither spoke as they left the corridor, and they sat on the bench around the corner.
Lady Gill didn’t plan to leave, and neither did Austin.
Nara didn’t want to see or hear them speak, so they kept their distance… but they couldn’t ignore Nara.
She was their daughter and sister, the one they had been searching for seventeen years…
Austin hung his head, then suddenly looked at Lady Gill. “Mom, do you think…”
He choked up before finishing his sentence, and then, after some time, he spoke again. “Do you think my sister will still acknowledge us?”
Lady Gill pursed her lips, unsure of what to say…
483 Chapter 482
Silence fell between them for a moment.
Suddenly, Austin started crying, not knowing how long he cried before raising his head. “Mom, you’re right. Keera saved my sister’s life. It’s not just a contract. Even if we gave her the entire Gill family, I would have no complaints!”
Lady Gill sighed.
While they were talking, the butler rushed over, panting. “Madam, Sir, something terrible has happened!”
“What’s wrong?”
Lady Gill asked sharply.
The butler caught his breath. “We just got inside information that a force overseas has issued a ban
against us and is planning to acquire us at a very price!”
Lady Gill stood up abruptly. “What?”
low
Austin was stunned. “How could this be? Who have we
offended recently?”
