Newell froze, his whole body suddenly wrapped in a cold, sharp tension. He turned to face Damaris, and the emptiness in his eyes darkened until they were stormy and threatening.
“Newell, why are you looking at me like that?” Damaris stiffened, confusion flickering in her eyes as she clenched her fingers tighter. She had never seen her gentle son look at her this way. What had she said to make him snap?
Newell didn’t answer. He just stared at her, silent for a long time, then finally parted his lips. His voice was low and icy. “Stop thinking about the bracelet. You can’t afford to mess with them.”
Them? Did he mean Charlotte and Anthony?
“But your illness…” Damaris frowned, hesitating before she added, “If you don’t get the cure, you won’t last much longer.”
“If I don’t, then I don’t. When you sent me to that lab, didn’t you already imagine this ending?” Newell’s anger was barely contained, his words cutting and cold.
Whether he lived or died, it meant nothing to her. If it mattered at all, it was only because losing a genetically mutated subject would mess up her experiment.
Damaris went quiet, her eyes growing red and glassy.
“That’s enough.” Newell couldn’t stand to look at her like this. He turned away, his voice flat but unshakable. “I’ll say this one last time. Leave Charlotte alone. If you don’t, you’ll have to deal with the consequences yourself.”
He didn’t wait for a response. Newell got into the car, leaned back, and shut his eyes, sounding exhausted. “Drive.”
“But Ms. Damaris is still outside…” the driver said carefully.
