When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I looked at Jared and forced a smile. “See? If you think this isn’t enough of a reason for me to hate him, I can tell you more. He’s like a brother to you, so I can understand why you feel the need to defend him, Dr. Crest. Perhaps to you, I merely lost a child, and no matter how you think about it, it just doesn’t seem like such a big deal. Well, I’m sorry to say this, but this is how I am.

After leaving the hospital with Marcus, he sighed with a contemplative gaze. “John really went over the top this time. It’ll be difficult for you to do anything from now on. There’s no doubt that the Moore family will have their guard up.”

My breath caught in my throat as I looked out of the window, struggling to breathe through the pain in my chest. “Mm, I don’t. Send it to John. Tell him to hack it into Rebecca’s phone discreetly. If possible, do it at midnight.”

He nodded and drove for a while before changing the subject. “Is there any news about the AI project?”
