Arthur’s P.O.V. (Continued)There was a short pause on Sapphire’s side, but it was already enough to send Pearl into a frenzy.“Uhhhh…. I don’t know why I am so nervous, sis? I mean, yeah, you two are Evan’s parents, but I am his aunt, too. He must like what I designed for him, right?” Summer asked nervously.My heart skipped a beat and Pearl went pale.“Mr. Froste.” Paul answered to me at the same time.“Find out where Pearl’s parents are. Secure their position now,” I instructed him sternly.“Your parents.” Pearl whispered.Whatever instruction that I had on my tongue died there instantly.I didn’t know what code language Summer and Pearl used to communicate with each other, but I believed what she was implying.My heart thudded hard against my ribcage in panic.Even if I resented them and hated them for what they did to Evan, they were still my parents.“Secure both mine and her parents. Now.” I almost yelled at Paul this time.“Why are you so nervous, huh? It’s not like this is th

Arthur’s P.O.V. (Continued)“And don’t forget about Neil Froste.” All the lines on my forehead straightened immediately.“What about him?” Victor questioned instantly, confusion evident in his voice.Pearl just lowered her lashes, her face turned slightly red, but I knew exactly what she felt in this moment.I tightened my grip on her fingers to comfort her.To assure her that I am still with her.Her lips still trembled.“I….. I beg your pardon, Mr. and Mrs. Froste, but I am a bit confused now?” Noah spoke awkwardly and in a low voice after a short pause.I looked at him coldly with a clenched jaw.He cleared his throat before speaking again, still cautious and awkwardness still evident in his voice.“I understand th…. that Dr. Oscar Harriett and Dr. Griffin used Mrs Pearl Froste’s blood for some kind of experiment because of some unknown reason, and later they used Mrs. Vera Froste and Master Evan to test an experimental drug.” He paused and looked at Victor who was looking at him w

Arthur’s P.O.V.“Even if we get the complete formula of this compound, the best team will still take at least two months to prepare the antidote.” Victor finished his report in a grim tone.My fingers were drumming softly on the armrest while listening to him.Pearl was also sitting stiffly beside me.“At first, we suspected that someone succeeded in giving Evan something that led to his present state, but his blood analysis showed no rise in some specific parameters.” Noah spoke this time, his tone serious.There was a short silence in the room.I didn’t know what to say to them.And I was sure that Pearl was also in the same state.“After discussing with Dr. Beckham, I have changed a few medications. He said that he will be here by tomorrow evening, and he also asked to run some more tests.” Noah added further in the same tone.I took a shaky breath and lowered my eyelashes, feeling so helpless that I wanted to destroy the whole world if my son can’t be saved.What grudge they had a

Pearl’s P.O.V. (Continued)Theo and his friends, associated with the Harriett family, had watched me grow up.So, comforting me in this state came naturally from Theo.That was also the reason that I didn’t mind him touching my shoulder.It was like a fatherly touch.I just sniffed while bobbing my head slightly.Sometimes, showing weakness is also a strategy.“Yes, Pearl. The circumstances in which you married Arthur, we understand.” Yohan said to me in a very serious tone.I only bobbed my head and sniffed slightly before looking up.They both gave me a sympathetic look before Theo released my shoulder.I slowly moved towards the car and started walking at a slow and steady pace.My shoulders were still tensed.I knew that they were still watching me.My phone started ringing in my palm.I looked at the screen and saw it was Arthur.I took the call but didn’t increase my pace.“How did it go?” He asked me calmly.“I gave him two hours almost fifteen minutes ago,” I told him in a low

Pearl’s P.O.V. (Continued)I didn’t know much about these kinds of medicinal and clinical stuff, but the grimness in Victor’s voice was enough to stop my heart beating for a few seconds.“Mrs. Froste,” Willow called me hurriedly and grabbed my arm when I staggered a little on my feet.“I am okay,” I mumbled, keeping myself steady on my feet.We entered the elevator when the door opened in front of us.“What did you get?” Noah asked after a short silence of a few seconds.Victor didn’t answer immediately, and at the distance between him and the camera, subtle movements in his body weren’t easy to capture.So, I just waited anxiously for his response.“It…. It won’t be easy to prepare the antidote in a short span of a few days or weeks.” The second those words left Victor’s mouth, I felt the cramped space of the elevator closing on me.My vision blurred instantly.Not easy to prepare the antidote….The phrase replayed like a broken record in my ears.Griffin had no antidote.My ears sta

Pearl’s P.O.V. (Continued)The room was quiet for a while.The low hum of the air conditioner was the only thing disturbing the suffocating silence.I let this silence press Oscar more.“Calm down, Pearl. We …. We understand your turmoil, but you can’t let your emotions cloud your judgment," Raphael Harrison, the planning director and also one of the shareholders of the institute, said to me in a low and cautious voice.“You guys can’t understand what I am going through, Mr. Harrison,” I spoke in a dangerously low voice, my gaze still locked on Oscar.“Calm down, Pearl,” Mr. Gilbert asked me this time, a hint of request evident in his voice.I scoffed and looked around at everyone.They had grim expressions on their faces, too.Their concern wasn't born out of compassion. It was born out of fear for their own interests. Not from the fact that the institute was used to run illegal research, and some innocent lives were sacrificed in the process.“The one who is battling against death i
