A smile briefly bloomed across Luciana’s face, only to dissolve into tears. Despite everything, she felt comforted knowing that Mitchel’s legacy lived on in Janey.
Seeing Luciana upset, the driver asked, “Ma’am, should we follow?”
Luciana, wiping her tears, answered, “No.” Raegan was taking great care of Janey, and Luciana felt she shouldn’t interfere.
Luciana quickly instructed, “To the police station.”
Luciana felt compelled to personally check the updates of Katie’s case. The Glyn family held a lot of sway, and Katie had managed to find a legal loophole that kept her from being directly involved. It was likely Katie would be released soon.
However, Luciana was determined not to let Katie get away so easily.
Katie was detained for at least 48 hours.
As they drove, Luciana broke the silence. “Does Katie’s bodyguard have any other family members?”
The driver answered, “We’re currently checking on that, ma‘am. It appears he has a mentor who is almost like a father to him.”
“Locate him,” Luciana commanded sharply.
“Yes, ma’am,” the driver promptly replied.
Luciana turned her gaze toward the window, her mind burdened with worry. She held onto a slender hope, believing in Raegan’s firm conviction that somehow, Mitchel was still fighting for his Life.
Meanwhile, in the sterile confines of a biological laboratory, a striking man lay unconscious on a spotless hospital bed. His complexion was ghostly pale, his lips a dull gray.
A person in sterile clothes watched over him, concern marking his face as he turned to a female doctor. “Is there really nothing more we can do?” The voice carried an edge of desperation.
The female doctor shook her head. “We weren’t quick enough,” she lamented. “His body was already poisoned, and the cold has intensified the poison’s effects after a day and night in the ocean.”

“Intensified?” Luis looked puzzled. “I thought there was a month before the first critical phase?”
The doctor replied with a sigh, “There’s no more time. If he doesn’t regain consciousness soon, he might complete the first treatment phase in his sleep.”
Luis paled at the doctor’s words. Grasping the doctor’s arm tightly, his legs almost gave out beneath him. The doctor steadied him before he could fall.
“Please, stay strong,” the doctor cautioned.
Luis’ plea was desperate. “Please, do something. He’s just made amends with his desired one. They’ve only just begun to enjoy better days. He can’t die now.”
“Luis…” The doctor’s expression softened. Having known Luis for years, she was aware he seldom sought favors. Yet, for his friend, Luis pled like this.
“You know me. If I had no intention of saving him, I wouldn’t have let you bring him to my lab,” the doctor said. “As researchers, we’re drawn to such unique cases. I would’ve pursued this even without your urging. But for now…
The doctor paused, a serious tone taking over. “All we can do is wait for him to wake up before we can continue with the research.”
A glimmer of hope sparked in Luis’ eyes. There was still a chance.
