Chapter 594: Everything's Gonna Be Okay!
The morning light streamed through the windows of the Starlight boardroom as Celestine stepped inside. The room was packed—board members, executives, lawyers, and reporters filled the seats, their eyes fixed on her. She had dressed carefully that morning, choosing a simple navy blazer and slacks, her hair pulled back, her expression calm but guarded.Jackson walked beside her, a quiet support. Jacqueline followed close behind. Together, they took their seats at the table.Marcus Webb rose from his chair. His face was drawn, his eyes tired, but his voice was steady."Dr. Hart, on behalf of the Starlight board, I want to formally apologize for the suspension of your research. We were wrong. The evidence has shown that you acted ethically, responsibly, and with the utmost care for your patients."Celestine's heart pounded; but she kept her expression neutral."We have reviewed all the evidence," Marcus continued, "and we have concluded that the allegations against you were fabricated by
Chapter 593: What If It All Goes Wrong?
Hailey and Andrew exchanged a glance, but neither spoke.Miles turned to face them, his ancient eyes sharp. "The veil between worlds is not a door that opens and closes at our whim. It is a wound. A scar on the fabric of reality. Every time we pull at it, every time we force it open, we risk tearing it further."He moved back to his chair, sinking into it heavily."The ritual I've described to you is not a summoning circle from a storybook. It is a surgical procedure on the skin of the world. And like any surgery, it carries the risk of infection, of complication, of death."Hailey's voice was steady, though her hands trembled. "We understand the risks.""Do you?" Miles leaned forward, his gaze intense. "Do you understand that the spirits you're trying to reach may not be the ones who answer? That something else—something older, something hungry—could slip through the tear you create?"Andrew's jaw tightened. "Miles, we've faced darkness before. We've fought things that would make mos
Chapter 592: Inviting The Unknown!
Peniel's eyes hardened. "You have a lot of faith in people who don't even know you're alive.""I have faith in Jackson Hart," Joanne said. "He's not like the rest of them. He doesn't give up."Peniel stood, his chair scraping against the floor. "We'll see."He walked to the ladder, pausing at the bottom."Your father is a fool," he said without turning around. "Aligning himself with the Harts won't save him. Just like believing in them won't save you."He climbed the ladder, pulling the trapdoor closed behind him.Joanne sat alone in the dim light, her heart pounding, her mind racing. She didn't know if Jackson Hart was really looking for her. She didn't know if her father had really allied with him.But she had to believe it. Belief was all she had left.She looked down at the tray of food, then picked up the bread and took a bite.She would need her strength for when rescue came.***Whitaker stood at the center of his office, his arms crossed, his jaw tight. He had been here for th
Chapter 591: The Contingency Plan!
The remote cabin was deep in the woods, accessible only by a winding dirt road that was nearly invisible to anyone who didn't know where to look. Peniel had purchased it years ago under a false identity, a contingency plan for exactly this kind of situation.Now, he and Linda sat in the dim light of a single kerosene lamp, watching the news coverage on a small battery-powered television. The hospital raids. The arrests. The press conference where Mrs. Morrison had confessed everything.Linda's hands trembled as she wrapped them around a cup of cold coffee. "They're everywhere. The police, the feds, the Harts. They're closing in."Peniel didn't look away from the screen. "Let them.""Let them?" Linda's voice rose. "Peniel, they have Keller. He'll talk. He'll tell them everything. The hospital administrators, the doctors, all of it. It's only a matter of time before someone leads them here."Peniel finally turned to face her, his expression calm, almost serene. "That's why we have conti
Chapter 590: The Hospital Raid!
Philip set down the remote, his heart aching for her.They watched in silence as Mrs. Morrison confessed to taking money, to allowing unauthorized treatments, to gambling with her daughter's life. Alicia's eyes filled with tears, but she did not look away.When Mrs. Morrison stepped back from the podium, weeping, Alicia's hand flew to her mouth."How could she?" Alicia whispered. "How could she do this to me?"Philip moved to her bedside, taking her hand. "She was scared, Alicia. She was manipulated.""That doesn't make it right." Alicia's voice cracked. "She trusted a stranger over Dr. Hart. She let someone poison me. She almost killed me."Philip had no words. He simply held her hand, his heart heavy.Alicia turned to look at him, her eyes red, her face wet with tears. "I heard everything. Every word. The treatments, the money, the lies. My mother was gambling with my life."Philip squeezed her hand. "She's trying to make it right now.""But what if it's too late? What if I never ge
Chapter 589: Unbelievable Bargain!
Celestine stood in the quiet consultation room, the medical files spread before her, her heart heavy with the weight of what she had discovered. Mrs. Morrison sat across from her, her hands clasped in her lap, her eyes red from crying, her face etched with guilt and exhaustion.Celestine took a deep breath. "I can help Alicia. I believe I can reverse the damage caused by those treatments. But I need something from you first."Mrs. Morrison looked up, Hope flickering in her eyes. "Anything. I'll do anything."Celestine met her gaze, her expression firm but not unkind. "I need you to come out publicly. I need you to make an open confession that you were an accomplice with Linda Cresp in sabotaging my treatments and feeding your daughter therapies that were harmful to her health."Mrs. Morrison's face went pale. "Publicly? You want me to—""I want the truth to be known," Celestine interrupted gently. "Linda has been manipulating everyone—patients, families, the media. She's turned people
