The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 316

Percival was driving Vivienne towards the city center

Noticing Viviennes low spirits, he gently asked, “Feeling down? Is it because of that person from earlier?”

What was her name? Miss Penny?

He had forgotten already

“No”

Vivienne stared out the window with a somber expression on her face

Indeed she was upset, but not because of Calista

Calista couldn’t stir am emotional response from her

Her frustration was due to the fact that despite the long duration of her research and having found the necessary cobra grass, the sturdy was still at a standınal

The CTO organization had begun to infiltrate her surroundings. If her pace in developing an antidote didn’t surpass GTO’s development of their poison, she feared that the organization would resort to more drastic meatums

She wasnt worried about herself but she had people she wanted to protect now

“You mentioned you had something to show me† Vivienne, not wanting to talk about it, changed the subject

On the way to the research facility. Percival sent her a message, hinting at some mysterious secret.

Relax. It’s something you’ll love once you see it

With a smile on his face. Percival looked at her affectionately and said, “Leave your worries behind for now”

Vivienne hummed in response. She somehow felt like a weight was lifted off her shoulders

She didn’t know why but Percival always somehow seemed to soothe her

“Sleep for a bit I’ll wake you when we arrive Upon seeing the fatigue etched on Vivienne’s face, Percival felt his heart ache

She was such a strong–willed giri, so she always kept her problems to herself

“Okay” Only when she was with Percival did Vivienne let down her guard. She closed her eyes and fell into a light sleep

Vivienne slept for half an hour in the car. When she woke, they had parked on top of a hill.
