When Sierra appeared, Johnathan had just opened his mouth to speak–only for a teardrop to fall from Sierra’s face and land softly on his.

“Don’t cry. I just fell asleep, that’s all.”

Johnathan raised a hand and gently wiped away her tears.

The moment the drug was injected into his body, his condition improved drastically. The fever broke, and even the pain in his body faded.

But Sierra knew this wouldn’t last.

Whether it was Shane or the person who gave Shane the drug, there was no chance they would hand over the real antidote. Whoever it was had likely calculated the timing, worried that Johnathan wouldn’t survive much longer, and delivered a dose just early enough to keep him alive.

It wasn’t a cure–only a temporary suppression.

Time was precious. Sierra couldn’t afford to waste a second. Now that she had the drug, she wanted to analyze its composition further.

But before she could leave, Johnathan reached out and grabbed her hand.

“Where did the drug come from?”

He asked, already guessing the answer. As skilled as Sierra was, there was no way she could’ve come up with a solution in just a few days.

Johnathan was smart. It didn’t take much for him to piece things together.

“Did they contact you? What did you promise them?”

He sounded anxious.

“It was Shane. He gave me the drug.”

Sierra didn’t try to hide it. Whether it was Johnathan or the Wynn family, both had far more power and reach than she did. There was no need to keep it a secret.
