CHAPTER 93
It was just past 6 PM when Sean arrived at the Springfield estate.Evening light bathed the mansion in gold, casting long shadows across the pristine driveway. The house looked just as he remembered—grand and quiet.The sky had deepened into indigo as Sean stepped out of the taxi, hands tucked into his coat pockets. Garden lights glowed softly, and the fountain murmured in the stillness.The air was cold, but it didn’t faze him.Rosalind was waiting.She stood by the fountain, calm and distant, her long hair loosely tied back. Her hand was still wrapped in a neat white bandage that stood out against her lavender sweater. Her lips parted slightly when she saw him approaching, but she didn’t speak.Sean saw her.He noted the bandage, the clarity in her eyes, and the way she stood firm. She wasn’t pale or frail. She looked… fine.So he kept walking.Didn’t stop.Didn’t speak.Didn’t look again.He brushed past her like she wasn’t even there.“Wow,” Rosalind said sharply, spinning around.
CHAPTER 92
"YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!" Director Hale screamed as the officers dragged her out of the building, her voice shrill and wild with rage. "You think this ends here, Sean? You think this is over?! Timothy’s still out there! He’ll come for me! He’ll find me! I’m not done!"Sean stood calmly at the top of the steps outside the lab, watching her with quiet indifference. Hands in his pockets, wind brushing his hair, eyes unreadable.He tilted his head slightly and said, “Good luck with that.”She snarled, struggling against the officers. “You smug little—”"That's enough," one of the officers snapped, jerking her forward. "You have the right to remain silent. I suggest you start using it." But she wasn’t done. Not yet.Even as they pulled her toward the police van, her voice carried. "He’s going to get me out! You hear me? I’ll be out before morning!"The scientists who had been speaking to her just moments before stood frozen, shocked to see her being taken away. They didn’t need anyone to exp
CHAPTER 91
Sean had wanted to leave earlier. He’d already cut his time with Liana short once to help Rosalind, and now he wanted to return to her and finish the game they'd started—complete their outing properly. But Nova’s offer gave him pause.The more labs he had access to, the more likely he was to stumble across rare medicinal research that might help him find a cure for his sister.Still, being able to use a lab without access to the actual research made no sense to him. He was about to refuse the offer, but Nova spoke up first.She stepped closer, lowering her voice just enough to make it clear she wasn’t bluffing. “We both know you’re not the type to care about titles or credit. But you’ve been chasing answers. Our research might help you find them. You want to know what they’re really using that formula for? What else has been buried under classified folders? Stay. Help us. And I’ll make sure you get access to everything.”Sean’s jaw tightened slightly. He didn’t speak right away. He gl
CHAPTER 90
"Like you asked, we didn’t tell anyone what happened when we went to find the hacker," Nova said as she stepped into the room, her expression serious.She had just returned from outside, where she’d spoken with the researchers.Now she stood in the room with Sean and Abrill. Sean sat on the sofa, not far from the bed where Abrill lay, a tablet in his hand.At the sound of Nova’s voice, he looked up from the screen to meet her gaze.Nova’s eyes flicked briefly to Abrill, then back to Sean. The way he sat near her—the way his attention kept drifting toward the bed—was there something going on between them? Something private?She hadn’t seen Sean this still, this watchful, around anyone before. If they were secretly dating... well, that wouldn’t be such a bad thing. Abrill could use someone steady. Someone who—"Has Director Hale done anything yet?" Sean asked suddenly, cutting off her thoughts.Nova blinked. She hadn’t expected that to be the first thing he’d ask."Not yet," she replied.
CHAPTER 89
Sean stepped into view, dragging a dazed-looking Timothy by the collar. His boots echoed against the floor as he strode forward, expression unreadable.He slowed when he noticed Nova and Wren crouched over Abrill. They were whispering—urgent, tense. He couldn’t make out the words from a distance, but the moment his voice cut through the room, they both flinched.That made him pause.Why were they acting like that?He took another step, frowning. “What’s going on?”Wren immediately stood up, waving her hands. “Sean—wait! You can’t be in here right now—”Nova stepped in front of him. “Seriously, turn around. Now. You’re making it worse.”His brows arched. He had no idea why they were speaking to him like that. He couldn’t even think of what he had made worse. The only thing that came to mind was Abrill.Sean frowned. “What are you two hiding? What’s wrong with Abrill?” He tried to step past them, eyes narrowing. “Why is she burning up? Did the antidote fail?”“She’s fine,” Wren said quic
CHAPTER 88
The mask hit the ground with a soft clink. Sean’s eyes locked onto the face beneath it.Pale. Sweating. Gaunt.The man looked like he’d seen a ghost. Now that his mask had been pulled off, he held his breath, refusing to inhale even a wisp of the green gas curling faintly in the air.Sean released his grip. The man dropped to his knees, still refusing to breathe. His cheeks puffed out, veins bulging in his neck, as if sheer willpower could keep the formula from entering his lungs.Sean didn’t move. Arms folded, expression unreadable, he simply watched.Seconds passed. Then more.The man’s lips quivered. His eyes watered. His face turned red… then purple.Still, Sean waited.If the man was choosing to hold his breath, then fine. Sean would let him. He was curious now—how long could he actually hold it?Thirty seconds. Forty.Then—Gasp!The hacker’s body finally gave out. He collapsed to the floor, sucking in a ragged breath through clenched teeth—And froze.His eyes went wide with fear.
