Cedric sank back into his chair, shock written all over his face. “Are you saying that the moment that chip was inserted into my brother’s brain, he was doomed?”

The doctors remained silent in the face of his questioning, which only fueled Cedric’s sudden eruption of rage. “I don’t care! You are doctors-the best money can buy for the Laurence family-and you will remove that chip and save my brother!”
