“The news is sealed, hut our people will find a way to get it out.”
Shown thought for a moment
“Keep an eye on the cruise ships, and fights coming in from overseas. It’s probably going to take about three days to bring in the expens.”
This theaning was clea

“Gein, do you think I’m cruel?”
Shown still wore his usual carefree smile, but when he looked at temu, be onsciously tightened las grip
Gemma had been thinking about the whole “amputation” thing when he asked out of the blue, and for a second, she just froze. She didn’t even have time to think before answering, almost instinctively.
“Why would it’s simple–if you kill someone, you pay with your life, if you owe money, you pay it back. Fair enough, right?”
Shawn’s smile grew wanner.
He’d noted Gemma had been quiet and figured she might be uncomfortable with his approach.
But no, Genama was just straightforward.
He liked her more now!
He mudged Casus’s anm. “Gem, you’ve got a great penonlay.”
Cassius responded immediately, “What’s that got to do with you?”
*!!!?!?“Shawn blinked in confusion.

keeping it to himself.
Gemma went to work as usual. During her break, she headed to the hospital library to find sou Brian showed up, also looking for books for his thesis, and when he saw her, his eyes lit up
he ended He had planned to confess to her last time they are together, but Marcas had interrupted, so The past couple of days, his father had suddenly had a change of heart and urged him to go after Gemma Even though he was now in control of the Read family, there were still some who weren’t fully on board. Now that his dad had stepped in to back him up, he felt like he had to focus all his attention on winning Gemma over.
He couldn’t help but feel a litle flattered.
“Gemma, what are you looking for!”
Gemma shook the heavy books in her hand, smiling a little helplessly.
“Just grabbing whatever. These aren’t available on the market, so I have to borrow them and see if they help, though I’m not sure they will.”
Brian helped her check out the books, clearly surprised.
“Not effective? Your new miracle drug took the Read family to a whole new level”
“You’re just pushing yourself too hard.”
“Is something going on!”
His tone was gentle, almost like an old friend trying to make her feel at ease.
It made Gemma want to open up about her inner struggles.
“I want to make a detox pill that’s also toxic.”
Bran immediately guessed the purpose. “Custom made!”
He’d been brushing up on pharmaceutical knowledge lately.
He knew one method was to fight poison with poison
Gemma nodded. “If you come across any pharmaceutical books, let me know.”
“No problem, I’ve got a few senior experts at my research institute with some mare collections. I’ll ask around.”
He paused.
This expression shifting slightly as he gathered his courage.

“How about this after work. Til take you straight to ask them. If we find what you need, great. If not, they’re senior researchers in the field. You could exchange ideas with them.”
Gemma that it was a good idea.
“Brisis is that tom umich rouble?”
Brian smiled warmly. “Not at all. I’d love to learn more from you. You won’t think I’m in the way, right?”
Gemma quickly waved her hand. “No, having you armand to bounce ideas off would be great. You’d never be in the
“Alright, it’s settled then. I’ll pick you up after work.”
Gemma returned to her office.
As soon
she reached the door, she overleed mes uemby gossiping
“Who’s the person in the VIP room! There are bodyguards at the dour.”
“Are you kidding” That’s the young master of the Ravens Eunily. He’s Mr. Casshis’s little brother”
“Willam, right‘ The so–called gul killer.” I’ve got to see him”.
“Don’t, he’s injured and in a foul mood.”
“That’s strange. People like him usually go to private hospitals. Why is he here?”
“Word is, he’s bere because he heard there’s a miracle doctor.”
Someone laughed.
“Yeah, he’s got a lamb to lose. Even a miracle worker couldn’t help with that.”
Thom ́’t be so sure. Mr. Gray, didn’t he almost die, but then he pulled through?”
So, the Raven family is here because of Dr. Kelestiner
“Maybe, bun Dr. Kelestine specializes in cardiology and neurology. A limb amputation is probably more in the hands of the department heads.”
“Alright, alright, back to work!”
The chalter shopped abruptly.
Gemma, however, lingered by the door, deep in thought. She logged into the hospital system.
Immediately, she sent a message to Cassius
Cassius replied simply: “Tll pick you up after work.”
Gemma knew he was just worried about her safety.
But she’d already agreed to go with Brian.
“No need. I’ll go to Read’s Group after work.”
Cassius didn’t respond.
Probably busy, she thought.
She wasn’t bothered by it, washed her hands, and went to check on her patients.
As she was finishing up, she bumped into Pamela.
“Is it really you?”
Pamela could never forget that face.
All the snakes she had raised were gone because of this person.
“Heh, so you’re the doctor here.”
She glanced at Gemma’s name tag
“Gemma‘ What a terrible name.
With no Derick or Casalus around, Pamela didn’t even try to hide her true feelings.
She was clearly furious, and her words came out as vicious as ever.
Gemma didn’t get angry, though. Instead, she looked at Pamela with a touch of sympathy.
und William’s hospitalization details.
“So, you think you can do whatever you want just because you’ve got a screw loose! You’ve just opened up a whole new perspective for me!”
“Cassius has been removed. Do you think anyone’s going to protect you now? Do you believe I can get you fired right this
Pamela’s anger surged.
Gemma stared, shocked.
She couldn’t understand. Pamela was supposed to be the lady of the Raven family. Didn’t she do background checks on her enemies first?
Pamela thought Gemma was intimidated.
