Likeanaging mother hent protecting her chicks until her final breath, it was profoundly moving
Bradley and Evan felt a pang of guilt. They had never shielded Sierra like this before.
Even an outsider could show such devotion,yetthey, who called themselves family, had never done the same.
Bradley exhaled slowly and said, “I’ll find a way to bring those doctors here.”
it was the only thing he could do now.
Evan, added, “The lab is ready. I’ll take her there tomorrow.”
Let’s go back first,”
Only after speaking did Bradley glance at Denise. He finally noticed how pale she looked, and an inexplicable irritation welled up within him,
For the first time, he felt a trace of resentment toward his sister.
If Denise weren’t so frail, they wouldn’t have constantly put her first while overlooking Sierra.
He averted his gaze and stepped into the car first.
In the hospital room. Sierra held Lily tightly. She didn’t cry, but her eyes were rimmed with red.
Lily’s words today had moved her deeply.Thosewords made her realize that she wasn’t entirely alone in this world. Lily cherished her, and shewasloved.
This only strengthened her resolve to develop the medicine as quickly as possible. She released Lily andsaid, “Grandma, don’t worry. From now on, we’ll all be fine. Trust me.”
Lily patted her hand. “Alright! I’m still waiting for you to find a husband. I want to see you become a mother.”
Asshe spoke, she was alreadymakingplans in her heart.
Seeing Lily in good spirits, Sierra felt reassured. They chatted for awhile longer before Sierra finallystood

She touched her forehead. It was burning again. Since she was already at the hospital, she decided to grab some medicine. Butjustassheturned to go, athoughtstruck her. She hesitated for a moment, thenpivotedand headed straight for Lily’s attendingdoctor’soffice.
When she emerged, her expression was grin.
She hadn’t expected Lily’s condition to be this dire. The cells in her body were deteriorating at analarmingrate. She could no longer perceive temperature at all.
BothtimesSierrahad visited recently, she had beenrunningahigh fever.Today, shehadembraced Lily for hours, yet Lily hadn’t noticed a thing.
It wasn’t that Lilywasunobservant. She had simply lost the ability to feel it.
Panic clawedatSierra’s heart.
Will I really make it in time?
The medical report in her hands had already been crumpled into a tight ball. Without another word, she turned andstrodeout of the hospital.
In the lab, Sierra worked tirelessly, running experiments and recordingdata.She was utterly consumed, pushing herself to go.

Time became meaningless until the lab door swung open, and Shane stepped inside.
“Are you trying to kill yourself in here?”
The lab supervisor had been the one to call him, telling him that Sierra had been locked inside for two days without

Hearing Shane’s voice, Sierra instinctively turned her head. But the moment she moved, her vision swam, and everything

When she regained consciousness, she was lying in a hospital bed. As she stirred, a voice as chilling as ice cut through the adence

Serra froze. Her eyes darted to the sofa, where Shane sat, head lowered, phone in hand, fingers moving swiftly across the

way. Then, he rose and strode to her bedside, looking down at her with cold disdain
I thought you were smarter than I thought. How are you still this reckless? Did you think dying would fix anything?”
Who wants to dir! That’s the last thing I want!
Sierra scowled internally but remained silent.
As if he had read her thoughts, Shane let out a sharp scoff.
“You don’t want to die, yet you went an entire day with a high fever, without food or water? If I had beenaminute later, you’d be a corpse by now. Or was this some twisted way to spite me?”
Sierra lowered her gaze, refusing to respond. She wasn’t foolish enough to sacrifice her life just to getbackat him.
The room fell into a tense silenceasthey stared each other down. Neither spoke.
After a long moment, Shane seemed to lose interest. He turned toward the door but halted just before stepping out. As if remembering something, he glanced back and said, “Oh, right. That guy, Jonathan, seems really concerned about you. He called you quite a few times whileyouwere unconscious.”
The moment he finishedspeaking, he noticed the slightest flinch from Sierra.

With that, Shane turned and walkedout.
Sierra reached for her phone. As expected, her screenwasfilled with missed calls, most of them from Jonathan.
