The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 649

Charles sat at Charlie's bedside, his heart twisting with pain as he watched his daughter suffer.

Her face was pale, twisted in agony, and every soft moan felt like a blade carving into him. In his hand, he clutched a tiny, dark red pill he'd found hidden in a secret compartment of Luna's jewelry box. The pill was no bigger than a grain of rice, and his fingertips were cold as ice.

If he gave Charlie the pill, it would take her pain away.

But he couldn't trust Luna.

With all the malice she'd shown to Eve and Charlie, there was no way he believed she actually wanted to save Charlie.

"Charles, did you get the antidote?" Andrew's voice broke the silence. He'd rushed in all the way from the capital, ignoring his own exhaustion to join the estate's medical team, working nonstop to help find a way to save Charlie.

The moment he heard Charles was back, he'd come out of the lab in a hurry.

"Yes," Charles replied.

But he didn't do what Luna expected. He didn't give the pill to Charlie. Instead, he handed it to Andrew.

"Andrew, analyze it now. I want the most accurate results, no mistakes."

There was a sharp urgency in Charles's voice that allowed no argument.

Andrew had always trusted Charles's judgment and wasted no time. He grabbed the pill and hurried to the lab with Francis and the rest of the medical team, firing up the best equipment and running the tests at top speed.

It didn't take long to get the results-but what they found sent a chill through the
