my desperation is different

Arthur’s P.O.V. (Continued)It was clear that Neil didn’t understand a word of what Victor said.“Explain in plain English, Victor.” He grumbled, his expression turned a bit darker in the process.Victor looked at him blankly for two seconds before nodding in response.“I mean to say that changes in your genes are a bit stronger than Jack's and closer to Pearl’s profile,” Victor explained it in a different way.For several seconds, Neil didn't move.He stared at the papers in his hands as though they had suddenly become something dangerous.I watched his expression carefully.“A…… and ho… how is this going to help Evan?” Neil asked, stammering a little, but it made me raise my brows.I hadn’t expected to be sensing fear in his tone.He was afraid.In other words, Victor told him that the mutation in his genes is a bit stronger than Jack's.It should have given him some sort of relief.At least he was better than Jack in a weird aspect, but instead he was scared.“The reason Griffin ch

don't want to forgive them

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

everyone has choices

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

her assumptions

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

weighing all options

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

a new hope

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

she is acting mysterious

Arthur’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

her pain

Pearl’s P.O.V.“Usually, the medical staff discard the umbilical cord with the placenta as biomedical waste after the delivery if the parents don’t give consent to preserve the cord. So, even if you agree to donate the umbilical cord of your child to them, there is no harm to anyone.” The OB of the female patient who was about to give birth explained this to both of them.The woman was in immense pain, but I still insisted on having this meeting in her presence so that she wouldn’t panic after giving birth if she notices anything unusual.She was in so much pain that I couldn’t concentrate on what the doctor was explaining to them.The contractions in her stomach almost made her faint in front of me.Until that moment, I had been thinking about the umbilical cord as a medical sample. Something that could be collected after the delivery and transported to the lab for further testing, ensuring that the blood can save Evan.But watching her fight through every contraction made me realise

praying for her

Pearl’s P.O.V. (Continued)“Yeah… she… she…. Is in pain.” I answered in a shaky and hoarse voice.My heart was still thudding hard against my ribcage, but I wrapped my hands around my belly protectively.“Calm down. You are okay," Arthur said to me in a comforting tone, but his body was stiff.I didn’t look at anyone else as the mother’s painful scream was still ringing in my ears.My vision was blurred, and I was praying for a less painful delivery for her.I prayed for the child to be born safely and that it would end quickly for her.Right now, I wasn’t Pearl Nickelson but just a woman who was also pregnant and wanted another woman to have a safe delivery.I was just a woman…..Arthur didn’t say a word further but tightened his grip around my body.The man started pacing while rubbing his palms furiously; his eyes didn’t leave the closed door of the labour room.We didn’t hear a word coming from inside, but my mind was still replaying the same scene of her screaming in pain.No won

her reason was right

Arthur’s P.O.V.I had commanded a vast boardroom filled with vipers and wolves hiding under human skins.I fought battles and passed through the shower of bullets but never felt as anxious or scared as I felt when I was standing in that labour room.She wasn’t the first woman going through that intense pain and surely will not be the last one, but that muffled scream shook me to the core.Mr. Stanley blabbered all the time about the delivery of their first baby and how he fainted after the child popped out of his wife’s body.In other circumstances, it would be funny to hear, but I just trembled once.Vera must have gone through the same pain while giving birth to Evan.And Pearl would go through the same pain.When Pearl stumbled out of the labour room, I caught her safely.I was sure that Mr. Stanley and the nurses who brought Pearl out thought that I saved her from falling, but only I knew that I desperately wanted to hug her.I wanted to feel her safe in my embrace.She was startl
