NovelOnlineFlora gently bandaged Nina's wound and stood up, saying, "The poison in her system is pretty complex. I can't detoxify her right now; I can only ease the symptoms for the tbeing. If I'm right, as Nina grows older, the poison will make her sleep longer and longer until she never wakes up again." Eremained silent, which was as good as agreeing.
The lab planned to use this poison to control Nina and, through her, the entire Washington family. They'd only hand over the antidote if the family stayed in line.

His gaze shifted from Flora to Connor, with a meaningful look. "I heard from the others that you had a fiancée, and I didn't believe it. Turns out it's true." And to think, he'd spoiled her so much.
He's truly fallen for her.
But...
Elio's eyes darkened. "But, Connor, what about your mom...?" "She doesn't need to know." Connor's voice turned colder, and even Flora felt the sudden chill from him.

Connor recognized most of them. People like Rafael, Louie, and Howell-he'd seen them several times and could call them familiar. The others, though not close, were well-known in their circles.
He looked at Flora, his gaze deepening. These were the top dogs ere of Club 257 Flora's position in Club 257 was even higher than he'd imagined. "Whoa, having dinner, huh? We really cat the right time."
Crimson plopped down next to Flora without hesitation, and Louie anch Rafael also took then seats. The other execs exchanged glances and quietly sat down. What's there to be afraid of? No matter how intimidating Connor was, he was now their club president's fiancé. Crimson picked up the fork Flora had been using, about to dig in when Flora slapped her hand away.
