Pearl’s P.O.V. (Continued)She blinked while looking at me with a frozen expression.“You said that you had no choice but to take the money and feed poison to Evan. That was your choice instead of going to Arthur or Jack, Cara. You could have hinted to Victor in other ways, but you did nothing to let any of them learn about Evan’s condition, and if I am not wrong, you always told them that Evan is in good health and doing well,” I continued in the same way, but I couldn’t keep my cool in the end.She lowered her head again; her lips quivered, but nothing came out of her mouth.I took a deep breath and then slowly straightened my back.“Where is that medicine or whatever stuff you mixed with his food and drink?” I asked her in a cold tone.She didn’t answer, but I didn’t show any impatience.She had no defense, and to be honest, I wasn’t here to hear her defense or her side of the story.I am not a saint.Evan is my family now, and she hurt my family.End of the discussion.I looked at

Arthur’s P.O.V.Every muffled sound coming from the bathroom was like a sharp prick of a needle into my heart.Pearl was so used to hiding her despair that she still covered her cries under the sharp sound of running water.She was completely different from Vera.Vera was expressive.She never bottled up her frustration, anger, or hurt.Especially with me, her way of lashing out with those wide eyes, complaining with tearful eyes, looking pitiful, and tearful silence showing her grievance….Vera shared a loving, peaceful, and glorious life with me.But with Pearl…We shared heartbreak, betrayal, and the constant fear of losing Evan at any time.Our union was a compromise with the situation.She shared my exhaustion, burden, and despair.Evan isn’t her burden.Yet, she is present in every second of his life now.What my parents did isn’t her mess to deal with.Yet, she is with me at every step.And where am I in the troubles of her life?I had spent all this time trying to save Evan, w

Arthur’s P.O.V.“After Cara’s confession, we did a deep analysis of his blood, and yes, some of the levels aren’t that high to be noticed in regular tests,” Victor explained while looking at the tablet screen with Evan’s reports.I didn’t understand those numbers and what they actually meant.All I knew was that Cara fed poison to my son, and the whole medical team here failed to find the traces in his blood before.“I know what you are thinking, Arthur, and trust me that I am angrier than you,” Victor spoke further, irritation and anger evident in his voice, but this wasn’t going to change the fact that my son was losing his life.“These parameters showed that the traces of unknown compounds in his blood, but their amount is still not life-threatening.” He continued in a grim tone.“Not life-threatening?” I asked him sarcastically.“Then why is he still like this, Victor?” I asked him in a raised voice.He looked at me with a grim expression.I scoffed and looked back at the screen.

Pearl’s P.O.V.“What a surprise, Pearl?” I looked at my uncle coldly when he greeted me excitedly after entering his office.“Yeah, it’s a surprise…… Griffin.” I replied, tilting my head a little.Griffin Harriett, my uncle and the CEO, and the lead researcher of the BrightLight Medical Research Institute, the person who was the real manipulator behind the scenes, smiled so brightly as if he had seen a treasure, not his niece.“You look radiant, honey. It seems that the marriage really did a number on you.” He remarked while taking a chair in front of me.I was sitting on the single couch with a magazine on my lap.I didn’t know what a fashion magazine was doing in his office, but I wasn’t here to discuss his taste in magazines.“So, what brings you here today?” he asked me with the same smile, sitting comfortably.“What do you think?” I asked him with a faint smile, putting the magazine on the side table.He furrowed his brow, looking at me in confusion.“I am sure that you already k

Arthur’s P.O.V.The walls seemed to close in on me after Paul finished speaking.Evan was playing with his toys on the bed, unaware of the cruelty of the world around him.I couldn’t even change the expression on my face because it could scare Evan.When all I wanted was to destroy everything and tear apart each of them who played with our lives like we meant nothing.Everything that happened in my life from the day I married Vera was nothing but a beautifully crafted lie.Their greed killed Vera, and now it was eating Evan from the inside.And for what?For power?For greed?For an obsession that should never have existed?They killed their daughter for something that they still don’t know if they will be able to achieve or not.Every breath scraped through my chest like broken glass.I wanted to clutch my chest.But I didn’t.I couldn’t.Not in front of Evan.Paul and Collin were still standing at the other side of the single sofa.But my attention was nowhere.My mind was exploding
