Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 100

Another piece titled "Radiant Beauty" showcased even more exquisite

craftsmanship than "Vita Aeterna," but unfortunately, it remained unfinished. It was on the brink of completion when, mysteriously, the embroiderer ceased her work a

Sean speculated that perhaps an unforeseen tragedy befell the embroiderer; otherwise, why abandon such a masterpiece?

Sean snapped back to reality. He glanced at the Silk Stitch Embroidery peony on his chest, then at Claire in his arms.

If her embroidery skills were exceptional, perhaps she could finish "Radiant Beauty." That way, it could be a delightful surprise for his grandmother's birthday this year.

Sean carried Claire into the car, immediately noticing something was amiss. She seemed drugged. Without hesitation, he instructed, "To the hospital."
