The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan
Chapter 422
Astrid fidgeted nervously beside Vivienne, apparently still wracked with guilt over the previous day’s events.
Vivienne, unfazed, glanced at Astrid with eyes as soft as a strawberry cheesecake and stood up.
Astrid halted her with a call, “Vivienne.”
Vivienne’s lips curved into a smile, her bright eyes flashing with disinterest. “What is it?”
Astrid rose and approached her, lifting her shirt.
On her slender waist was a hideous black scar.
A knife wound, poisoned.
Astrid clenched her fist. “I got this on a mission when I fell into the enemy’s trap. Now, I still suffer from the pain, especially when it rains, my whole body aches.
Vivienne, I’m not trying to gain your sympathy. I just want to tell you that we’ve sacrificed our lives to ensure that our organization can develop a defense against the biochemical weapons of rival nations.
So, on behalf of the organization and our country, I’m inviting you to join our fight!”
Vivienne’s gaze fell on the scar on Astrid’s waist.
It was clearly real.
She grasped Astrid’s wrist and felt for her pulse.
The poison had been lurking in her body for years; she, indeed, had suffered greatly.
Vivienne casually took out a life-saving pill and popped it into Astrid’s mouth. “This poison isn’t hard to cure. Just come to me once a day.”
After a pause, she added, “I’m quite interested in what you’ve said. I’ll give it a try.”
Astrid froze, surprised. “You mean you agree?”
Vivienne nodded slightly. “Yeah, but I’m out if your experiments don’t meet my standards.”
“Great. You’ll find our experiments fascinating,” Astrid said with a smile. “I’ll notify the organization and see when they can take you to the lab.”
With that, Astrid went into her room.
Looking at her door, Vivienne let a sly smile creep onto her face.
