At that moment, Jaxon's voice was devoid of any discernible emotion.

Lola chuckled darkly. "Even Yorick hasn't bothered to see her. Can't you see the writing on the wall?" Jaxon felt his breath catch.

Something had felt off even back then. And Yorick, who used to visit Ursula almost daily, hadn't shown up in over three days.

Seeing Jaxon remain silent, Lola pressed on, "Jaxon, you're just blind. Now drink up, my kid's future depends on you."

"You using me as a pawn?"

Lola shrugged, "What else? You think I'm into your blindness?"
