"I have a meeting," he ignored my question as he walked away with his two bodyguards beside him.

I stayed seated, slightly massaging my head. I told myself I needed to find something... an answer, but instead, I found another question.

My fists clenched, my gaze darkening as I stared at the wall. I needed to find out why. I just prayed Evangeline's hands weren't affected-they were her greatest asset as a scientist. "Sapphire, hey."
