Chapter 12

Author: Wheat Grain
Matt's words hit Serena like a blow. Her head snapped up. "What did you say? Erica's in the ICU? Since when?"

Matt looked helpless. "Ms. Quinn, I've told you several times over the past few days. You've been staying by Mr. Black's side and wouldn't even respond to anyone who tried to talk to you. The hospital declared her condition critical last night!"

Serena staggered back in shock. She turned to look at Jonas' body. "Have him taken to the funeral home's cold storage. We'll hold the funeral

    Serena and Erica were forced onto a plane. Hours later, they were locked inside a low, thatched hut, guarded every day by armed security personnel. They had no freedom except to do the hardest manual labor in exchange for a little oatmeal.Serena stared at the endless sands outside the window, her heart filled with despair. She finally understood that Jonas would never forgive her. The silent imprisonment was more painful than death itself.Erica curled up in the corner of the hut, her mental state completely shattered. She kept mumbling like she was talking in her sleep, "Daddy, I was wrong. Please come back and take me away now. Daddy, I feel terrible…"Her eyes were blank. Sometimes she laughed hysterically. Other times, she curled up and screamed. The wicked, haughty little girl she once was had been driven mad by the harsh reality.Serena watched her, feeling her heart break.The ten-day grace period given by the system would be up soon.Just as she had once locked Jonas up

    Jonas had just finished a video conference when his phone vibrated urgently. When he saw the call was from George's preschool teacher, his heart sank, and he answered immediately."Mr. Black, please come over now. A woman showed up with a girl, claiming to be George's mother and sister. She tried to take him away by force."The teacher's anxious voice came through the phone, and Jonas' expression instantly turned icy.She had to be talking about Serena and Erica.Jonas rushed over to the preschool in his car. From a distance, he saw a police car parked outside the gates as officers questioned people about what had happened.The police had arrested Serena and Erica and put them in the back of the car for attempting to break into the school and take George away, while the teacher held George in her arms tightly.When George saw Jonas, he immediately pulled himself free and ran into his father's arms, crying. "Daddy!"Jonas pulled him into a hug, his body trembling.Serena and Eri

    Erica's stomach rumbled with hunger. She tugged on Serena's sleeve. "Mommy, Daddy really doesn't want us anymore."Serena stared in the direction the car had disappeared. "Your dad is just angry. I'll find a way to get him to forgive me."Over the next few days, Serena and Erica wandered around Black Corporation building like two lost souls. They tried every possible way to get close to Jonas. Serena even considered forcing her way inside, but the bodyguards stopped her every time.And Jonas no longer gave them another glance, treating them as if they didn't exist.For the past few days, they had been freezing and starving. When they got too hungry, they even rummaged through trash cans for food. In no time, they had gone from living like royalty to living like beggars.Then, on the fifth day, a robotic voice suddenly sounded in their heads."Only five days left to complete the mission. If you fail to earn Jonas' forgiveness, your souls will be erased."Serena jolted as if she'd

    The security guards moved forward and roughly pushed them out."What are you doing? Let me go!" Serena snapped, but the security guards ignored her.Erica stumbled from the shove and nearly fell."Where did these lunatics come from? Showing up here in prison uniforms and hospital gowns, trying to scam people?" The head of security grumbled into his walkie-talkie. "Get lost now, or I'll call the cops and have you arrested."Serena immediately shielded Erica behind her. She shouted, "Jonas, come out here and see me!"The passersby stopped and took out their phones, pointing them at Serena and Erica."Are they shooting some kind of drama? Her prison uniform looks so real.""This woman is quite pretty, but why do I feel like she's not very smart?"Unwilling to give up, Serena waited outside, hoping to catch sight of Jonas again.Erica followed her and whispered, "Mommy, what should we do? Does Daddy really not want us anymore?"Serena didn't answer. Jonas was right in front of he

    Serena opened her eyes in an endless void. She reached for her neck. There were no rope marks, and her skin was smooth and unharmed.Beside her, Erica lifted her head and gasped for air, her face full of fear. "Mommy, I'm not dead?"The cold robotic voice rang out once again."You're already dead, but your lingering attachment to Jonas triggered this mission. You have ten days to seek Jonas' forgiveness. If you succeed, you'll be reborn on the day you went to the small town to look for a heart donor. If you fail, your souls will be erased, and you'll never be reincarnated. Do you accept?"Serena abruptly stood up.To the day she went to the small town to find a heart donor? That was before she met Henry, before George died, and before Jonas jumped into the sea. It wasn't too late yet."I accept. As long as I can see him, I'll agree to anything."Erica also put her fear aside and rose to her feet. "I accept too. As long as I can see Daddy, I'll do anything.""Mission accepted.

    Serena looked down at the screen."Quinn Corporation Chairwoman Accused of Covering Up for Quack Doctor Who Caused Patient's Death!""Shocking Scandal! Recording of Jonas Black Released After His Death, Exposing His Wife and Her Lover's Murder and Fraud!"Serena opened one of the videos, and Jonas' cool, detached voice came through the speaker."Henry, you only graduated from middle school. You only became an attending physician because you had connections through Serena and had her falsify your résumé. A year ago, you did surgery on a patient without authorization, even though you had no medical experience at all, and ended up killing him…"A flood of angry comments filled the screen below the video."Serena is a heartless bitch! She drove her own husband to his death and covered for a murderer!""Boycott Quinn Corporation! These two deserve to die!"Panic was written all over Matt's face. "Mr. Black sent the evidence to the press and the police. Public opinion is completely o
