“Don’t talk.”
Charlotte shot him a look, her voice calm but leaving no room for argument.
Anthony clamped his lips shut. Silence filled the room.
Charlotte gently pressed her fingers to his wrist and closed her eyes, focusing hard on his pulse. After a few minutes, she let go, stood up, and headed for the bathroom. “Sit here and wait for me.”
Anthony caught the look on her face and hesitated for a moment, then followed her anyway.
He pushed the door open and came face to face with Charlotte’s pale cheeks and red, watery eyes. She looked so heartbreakingly fragile.
The sight hit Anthony right in the chest. He pulled her into his arms, worry etched across his face. “What’s wrong? Are you in pain?”
Charlotte just stared at him, silent, her gaze searching his.
“I’ll call a doctor.” Anthony was rattled by her quiet. As he turned to leave, Charlotte’s hand shot out and grabbed his.
“When did you take the mutagenic agent?”
Her voice was rough and tired, like she was using up the last of her strength.
“Lottie...” Anthony froze, panic flickering across his face. He’d meant to tell her eventually, but she’d already figured it out.
“Before I went to the Isle of Veil.” He answered, trying to sound steady, trying to keep her calm. “Once the antidote is ready and we start the clinical tests, you—”
“Does it hurt?”
