The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1008

“When I saw your tiny hands and feet growing inside me, I just couldn’t do it. I couldn’t go through with it. So I decided to have you, no matter what.”

“Then why didn’t you take the antidote after I was born?” Charlotte’s voice was gentle, her lips pressed together.

Nora’s eyes filled with tears, her voice thick with pain and guilt. “Because I knew the gene mutation could be passed down. I wanted to save the antidote for you, make sure everything was ready for you. I just… never thought…”

She never thought the antidote she risked everything to protect would end up never being used on Lottie.

Charlotte’s eyes turned cold as she remembered The Main Family.

“So when you realized I hadn’t taken the antidote, you didn’t tell me. You planned to go to the Isle of Veil, make a deal with the people at the genetics lab?” Charlotte’s voice was low. She had already figured out Nora’s plan.

Lottie was too sharp for secrets.

“The antidote was lost a long time ago.” Nora nodded, her voice rough. “Only the genetics lab on the Isle of Veil is still researching it. No one else even knows it exists.”

That meant the research lab was the only place that could possibly have the antidote.

“Lottie, the antidote might be lost, but it’s out there, in someone’s hands.” Nora looked straight at Charlotte, her tone serious. “Those people at the lab want test subjects. They’d find a way to get the antidote to me… and then…”

“You’d trade yourself for it?” Charlotte asked quietly.

Nora stayed silent.

“And after you got the antidote, you’d kill yourself so they couldn’t find out why the gene mutation happened, right?”

Still, Nora didn’t say a word.

In front of Lottie, all her secrets and plans fell apart.

Charlotte frowned, but there was a hint of a smile—resigned, maybe a little sad.

She had guessed everything right.
