Chapter 64Lucien POV…I carefully carried the unconscious Camilla and laid her on the bed. We were already in the city but she was yet to wake up.I called Liam to take a look at her because I did not trust any doctor apart from him.As for Marcus, he was tied up and thrown in the house basement. I was planning to deal with him after Camilla wakes up.I looked at the frowning Liam who was checking on Camilla and had a bad feeling in my heart.“What is wrong with her?” I inquired.“From my observation and diagnosis, she was placed under some modified UV light and it weakened her wolf, almost killing her. She is too weak now and she will need some time to recover!” Liam said and the anger in my heart surged again.Because of me, she has been injured many times. What frustrated me is that, I could only watch as she wallows away in pain without doing anything. I wanted to use my healing power but Liam said that it will do more harm than good. She has to initiate her own healing; only the
Chapter 65Lucien POV…I left the basement and returned to the master bedroom. Camila was still sleeping and Liam was trying to draw her blood.“That won’t help!” I spoke. When I saw such a long needle pierce her frail arm, I felt like it was my heart being pierced.“Have you found out anything?” Liam asked and shiny light flashed across his face. He could not hide the expectation on his face.“Things are a lot more complicated than I thought but I think that you have found yourself a test subject!” I said and I saw him frown.“What test subject? What do you mean?” he asked.“There is a living test subject that you can work with, maybe it might speed up your progress. It is someone who has already been exposed to the damn light!” I spoke.“You mean Camilla?”My body released a ruthless aura when I heard him, “don’t even think about it!” I said in a taciturn voice.“Who then?”“Marcus!” I uttered the name through gritted teeth.“You mean he has already been exposed to the modified UV l
Chapter 66Lucien POV…The following morning…After talking to Liam and hearing that the has been up the whole night with his team and has made a lot of progress, I could finally give a relieved sigh. How I wished that I was also a doctor so then I can help them speed up the process!Since they were progressing well and he even assured me that there will be some positive news after a few days, I felt that it was about time I officially took over the office. Although I wanted Camilla to be by my side when I am sworn in, I guess that I have to wrong her again since I cannot make her wake up now!After what happened last night on the Internet, I am sure that no one will have any objections to me being sworn in as mayor. My innocence has been proved and the apologetic messages filled my messenger to the brim.Lenox and everyone who was behind him had their reputation flashed down the drain and their families and business were on the verge of collapsing.As for the Crawford corporation, I
Chapter 67 Lenox POV… I looked at the trending news and I knew that everything was over. There was nothing I could do. Although Martin, Thompson and the Moore family were also in the limelight, the damage caused on them was very little. I tried calling them but I realized that all their phones were switched off. I definitely knew that I had already been turned into the scapegoat. But how can I fall alone? They are the ones who made me do everything that I did. How can I watch my family fall apart while they enjoy their lives? I had just taken my car keys when Dylan entered my office panting. “What is it?” I asked with a frown on my face. “Outside… outside…!” “What is outside?” “The company has been surrounded by the reporters and they are causing commotion outside. They are demanding that you go outside!” Dylan said. “How did they come here so fast?” I asked. When I came in the morning, it was very quiet, how comes the company has been surrounded by the reporters? “The news
Chapter 68Lenox POV…When we finally broke through the crowd and left the company, I heaved a huge sigh of relief. This is something that I have never experienced in my life and I still have some lingering fear in my heart.I wonder what could have happened if they had managed to force me out of the car. Maybe I would have joined my father in the hospital.“Where to?” the driver asked.I contemplated for a while before answering that question. I was planning to go and see Elisa and his father, but now that my father has been admitted and my mother was not in the right condition, I did not know what to do for a moment.Should I go and visit my father first in the hospital, or my mother who is trapped in the house? But my sister said that our home is surrounded by the reporters, and from my almost near-death experience just now, I don’t think that it is a good idea to go to my family home.That will be another suicide mission and I am not ready to die yet, especially without a clear pi
Chapter 69Lenox POV…I looked at my withered father being taken to the intensive care unit and I felt even more guilty. My father has always been in robust health and I have never seen him this weak!His eyes were closed and his face was pale without blood. I followed the nurse all the way to the intensive care unit but I was not allowed to enter. I could only watch through the glasses as different machines were connected to his body.It is only now that I realize how stupid I have been. I should have resisted the old foxes with their tempting offer, now look at what I have done to my parents and my whole pack!After dad was taken care of in the ICU, I finally had time to go and look for my mom. I don’t know how I am going to face her and if I will have an answer to any of the questions, she is going to ask me.“Bro, don’t worry. I am sure that our parents will understand. What we have to do now is find the culprit who is trying to tarnish our reputation!” Emily said and I only stare
Chapter 70Lenox POV…After reading through the report, I returned it to where it was without missing a bit. I don’t know why Elisa hasn’t told me anything up to now when she is already two months pregnant. It can’t be that she has also found out about it just recently.I waited for a while longer before I heard footsteps outside the room and I knew that she was coming. I sat up straight and waited to give her a surprise.She entered the room, and as expected, she was surprised to see me. I saw shock, panic and fear flash through her eyes briefly and I wondered what it meant.I saw her gaze move towards the drawer that was having the pregnancy report for a second before she looked back at me.Her reaction gave me a bad feeling and I felt that something was not right.“You… why are you here?” she asked, and her flustered expression only made me more suspicious!Why does it feel like she is very much surprised to see me in her room? it is not the first time I am coming here unannounced
Chapter 71Lenox POV…I sat on the leather chair in the study room without saying anything. The air was stifling and it gave off a heavy feeling.“What brought you here?” Martin broke the ice and asked in an emotionless voice.I looked at him as if I was seeing him for the very first time since I was born. He has aged just in a few hours and even his ruthless aura has dwindled a little.“don’t you guys think that you have gone overboard with your words and actions? Don’t you think that the three of you owe me an explanation!” I said through gritted teeth.I was really trying my best to not go up and just strangle him to death. My parents were battling for their lives in the hospital, but they are here pretending like everything that is going on has nothing to do with them?Aren’t they very pretentious? Hah, should I help them contend for an Oscar!“I don’t understand what you are talking about!” and he even has the guts to tell me this, the audacity!“Hah, Martin don’t get me started.
