Chapter 297 End of a Dream

Michael sighed. He was already out of options.

“What about the corneal donation?” Elyse suggested. “How did he find out about that case? A lot of people saw that in Quill Town’s hospital. It shouldn’t have been easy to find anything.”

“Leo’s powerful. He can find out anything he wants.” Michael was really scared now. He no longer wanted to go against Leo. “We should just turn ourselves in. If he finds out what we’re up to, he’s going to kill us.” That was the best deal on the table at that moment.
