MasukArthur’s P.O.V. (Continued)She didn’t explain, but for the first time, I wanted her to explain.Because this was not only related to our safety, but it was also about Evan’s life.One mistake, and we could lose this chance to find a way to keep him alive.“It doesn’t matter where we go after leaving the mansion. They will follow us everywhere.” She spoke softly while walking steadily beside me.“Even if we dodge them here, they will find a way to find us or our route.” My jaw hardened, but I listened to her explanation, processing every word.“So, let them follow us.” She glanced at me, a faint smile creeping on her lips, but that didn’t reach her eyes.“I beg your pardon, Mr. Froste, but what Mrs. Froste said is logical,” Paul said to me in a low and cautious voice.I was about to glare at Paul when I noticed the corners of Pearl’s mouth crooked.I sighed and rubbed my forehead, feeling frustrated, but my gut feelings said that I should trust Pearl.She would never do anything to hu
Arthur’s P.O.V. (Continued)“When is the nearest?” Victor asked him hurriedly.“The lady is already in the labour room,” Noah told him, moving the tablet in his hand towards Victor.Victor immediately took the tablet and started moving his fingers on the screen.I felt Pearl’s hand on mine.She was anxious, but I didn’t look in her direction.“Both parents have the same blood type as Master Evan. This is the best part. Above all, they have no history of any chronic or genetic disease.” Noah continued, but my anxiety increased.My heart was now thudding hard against my ribcage.“But are they willing to let us use the umbilical cord?” I asked them. I was trying to stay calm, but my voice still shook slightly.Noah looked at me with a weak smile.“I talked to both parents this morning and explained to them why we need the umbilical cord.” I took a deep breath and looked at Pearl.“I am going with you.” She said to me as if she already knew what I wanted to do.“I will stay with Evan.” Su
Arthur’s P.O.V. (Continued)The relief washed over me.The moment she mentioned fetal cord blood, my mind had gone straight to our unborn child.I had been so terrified of losing one child that I had forgotten Pearl was desperately trying to save another.I admitted that I misunderstood that she wanted to use our unborn child’s cord blood to save Evan, but after listening to her, I was glad that she was just weighing all the options now.She didn’t want us to be out of the options in the end.“And we shouldn’t ignore the fact that the cord blood of our child may not provide the desired effect that they have been anticipating all this time.” She added, and I arched my brow.She wasn’t wrong.No one can give assurance about this.She cupped my face and gently stroked my jawline with the pad of her thumb.The calmness in her gaze completely hid her own worry and pain, but I still felt it.“Griffin and Oscar made them believe that a child born from me with the Froste blood can provide a c
Arthur’s P.O.V.“You called for us?” Pearl asked me in a concerned tone while entering Evan’s room with Summer.I didn’t answer her as I was still stroking Evan’s head.He still had hair, but they were coming out frequently.I was even scared of patting his head now.“Neil agreed to go through the tests,” Victor told them in a serious tone.“And Dad?” Summer asked anxiously.I slowly moved my gaze in their direction.Pearl had an expressionless face while Summer looked anxious.Pearl was still walking towards the bed.“How is he now?” she asked me in a concerned, low voice.Still looking calm, as if she already knew the outcome of the meeting with Derek and Neil.“Sleeping,” I answered her calmly, but my voice felt hollow to me.She stopped on the other side of the bed and gently sat down at the edge of the bed.“I also want to go through the tests.” I heard Summer when Pearl was about to say something.“You?” I looked at Summer in confusion.“Why not? My father and I have the same bl
Pearl’s P.O.V. (Continued)I tightened my grip on her, feeling the weight and cruelty of her words.I couldn’t say a word of comfort.Because for the first time in my life, I didn't have one.Summer wasn't crying because she had discovered that our parents had lied to us.She was crying because she had started questioning whether the love she had received from them had ever been love at all.And that was a question I couldn't answer for her.I couldn't even answer it for myself.They would have aborted Summer at that time if it weren’t for Graham, just because she was a girl.I blinked harder to back off my tears.Summer needed the strength of her elder sister, not these tears.“You know what, sis?” she said further, her voice cracked, filled with bitterness.“You have been useful to them in every way – your intelligence, composure, you….. your blood, but me?” The word pierced my heart again.“I…. I was nothing b… but a freebie, but a burdensome freebie came with that boy.” The whimpe
Pearl’s P.O.V.“The attack has damaged the renovation, and it will take a few more days to finish it again.” Summer still looked pissed, but I knew my sister better.She was talking about everything but not what happened in the meeting or that brother of ours.“I am so pissed that I can shoot them once again. They ruined my hard work, sis. You don’t know how hopeful I was when I prepared that room for Evan.”I continued smiling, peeling the apple for her while listening to her rant.“But you are sure that the police will not arrest me for shooting them?” She still asked me in a low and worried tone, looking at me with a timid and innocent look.“As if you are feeling guilty for shooting them?” I asked her teasingly.She pouted innocently but then grinned wickedly.I shook my head and started cutting small pieces of apple for her.She was still resting, not because she was sick.But because she wanted me to take care of her.But I knew that she was avoiding meeting with everyone outsid
Arthur’s P.O.V.“She is still in Josh’s apartment?” I asked Paul while exiting the car.“Yes, Mr. Froste,” he replied to me in a low voice.I took a deep breath and went to the other elevator. Every penthouse had its designated elevator, and there were two common elevators for the lower floors.Luc
Pearl’s P.O.V. (Continued)No one answered immediately.And that silence—“The doctors suggested another option,” Aunt Sofia said, her voice barely above a whisper now.My heart was pounding so loudly that it drowned out everything else.“What option?” I asked in a whisper.Her grip on Evan tighten
Pearl’s P.O.V.“How is he?” I asked my father anxiously when he entered my room with a grim and exhausted expression.I didn’t know why they all stopped me from going with Jack to the hospital. I was feeling trapped, and this feeling was suffocating me. My parents went to the hospital with Jack and
Pearl’s P.O.V.“Jack will not be able to take his hands off you tonight, Pearl. You look stunning.” My younger sister, Sapphire, gushed while looking at me through the mirror.I blushed while looking at the bride in the mirror. The smile on my lips widened a little. The light green color of the gow
