Chapter 98

Author: Your Candy
Maya looked at Harry with pain in her eyes, then at Isolde. Her fingers twisted tightly into the corner of her clothes. After a long pause, she finally spoke, her voice hoarse. "Ms. Vancrest… could you… please also give him a pill?"

In the end, years of marriage and deeply rooted weakness made it impossible for her to truly harden her heart.

Isolde let out a quiet sigh. She had never truly intended to let him die. The punishment had been delivered, and that was enough.

She turned to Bruce, a questioning look in her eyes. "Bruce…"

Bruce had already taken a pill from the bag he carried and handed it over.

Maya hurried forward and clenched the pill tightly in her palm.

At the sight of this, Harry immediately recovered his arrogant air and urged her impatiently, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring the medicine over so I can take it. Always dragging your feet. When I get better, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

Maya shrank back by reflex.

Isolde's brows knit d

    The auction began.Everyone in attendance had passed the first round of financial screening before entering the final stage.Every person present was either immensely wealthy or extraordinarily powerful. Some had even brought their entire fortunes, wagering everything for a single chance to stay alive.The moment the auction opened, bids skyrocketed, and the competition turned vicious.As the price continued to surge, those who could not keep up were eliminated one after another.In the end, only two buyers remained, locked in a fierce standoff.The price had already climbed to a jaw-dropping figure of approximately 645,000,000 dollars.Isolde felt her scalp go numb as she listened. It was an astronomical number.Even for the sake of saving a life, the price was outrageously high. Even if she won, she doubted she would dare to accept it.She instinctively grabbed Bruce's wrist as he was about to raise his paddle. "Bruce, why don't… we forget it? That's too much money. How coul

    Bruce let an almost imperceptible smile flicker through his eyes. "I'm not offended."The reply left Isolde unsure how to respond.She forced an awkward smile and turned to get into the car.Once inside, she immediately contacted the colleagues still trapped at Nightfall. She told them she was on her way and instructed everyone to evacuate to a safe location and avoid any contact with her.After making the arrangements, she drew a deep breath to steady herself, ready to head to the company and work at full throttle. But when she lifted her head to look out the window, she realized the route was wrong."Wait, isn't this the wrong way? I'm going to Nightfall.""It's correct," Bruce replied calmly.Isolde turned to him in shock. "You're not taking me to Nightfall? Didn't you say you understood me, Bruce? Did you lie to me?"Bruce did not answer directly. Instead, he handed her a black invitation card with a weighty, refined texture.Gold-stamped lettering declared its significanc

    Marshall truly had her best interests at heart.Isolde met his gaze, her eyes clear and resolute. "Marshall, I'm not some saint meant to sacrifice herself to save the world. I'm not that great. I just happen to have this ability, and in my final moments, I want to do what I can and finish the core algorithm for the bionic robot."At the very least, it can save many other people. This is something within my power. It's only a little harder, and it's worth it. When I'm gone, I want to know that my life wasn't lived in vain.""But your body can't handle work at that intensity," Marshall said. "That isn't just a little tiring. You'll be in unbearable pain.""Isolde, come with me." A cold, low voice cut through the argument.Bruce stood in the doorway, dressed in a white protective suit. Behind the transparent face shield, fatigue gathered between his brows. The man who was always impeccably groomed now showed a faint shadow of stubble along his jaw.Even so, his commanding presence r

    Isolde had no idea how long she had been unconscious. When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the ceiling of Marshall's master bedroom.She was still here. 'Then the person who had held me as I drifted in and out of consciousness was…'She instinctively reached to the side, but as far as she could see, there was only the strawberry bear clutched in her arms.Isolde froze, her mind slow to catch up. 'So during those muddled, half-aware moments, no one had actually been holding me.'That sense of reassurance had been nothing more than an illusion.A faint, indescribable sense of loss swept through her chest."Isolde, you're awake?" Marshall walked in with a basin of water, exhaustion and worry plain on his face.He dipped a towel and gently wiped her forehead and the palms of her hands. "Your fever's gone. How do you feel?"'So Marshall has been taking care of me all this time,' she thought."No wonder I feel so clear-headed." Isolde sat up and was surprised to fin

    Isolde lost all strength at once and collapsed in the entryway. She lay on the cold floor and stared at the door, releasing a shallow breath of relief.At least she had bought Joan and the others a slim chance of hope. Joan and the others were not as seriously ill as she was. With medicine, they might still have a chance to survive.Isolde had assumed Bruce would send a fully protected subordinate to deliver the medicine. She never imagined that a little more than ten minutes later, Bruce himself would appear.He wore a white protective suit and stood in the doorway, backlit, like a savior descending in person.Isolde's consciousness wavered. She looked at him in a daze and thought she must be hallucinating. "Am I about to die… How ridiculous. The one I see before dying isn't my great-grandma. It's Bruce…""Isolde, I really want to strangle you," Bruce said through clenched teeth.Despite his words, he strode forward at once, bent down, and lifted her into his arms. His movements
