Chapter 629

Quentin stood by the hospital bed, staring blankly at the pale face before him, unable to tear his eyes away for a long time.

He'd always told himself he hated her, so why did he feel this pang of sadness now?

Without a word, Quentin slipped out of the room and sank onto a bench beside Hastings.

While the three of them sat in heavy silence, Kali's mood was anything but somber. The moment she confirmed Citrine was really dead, a sly smile curved her lips, her eyes sparkling with delight.

Jeanette replied almost instantly: "Are you serious?”

Kali's fingers trembled with glee as she typed back: "Of course. Come to Crestwood Medical Research Center right now and see for yourself."
