Chapter 202
Calvin skimmed through the list of Leoโs deeds. The items included fake meds, organ harvesting, blood draws, and experimental procedures, all dressed up as treatments for him.
Calvinโs eyes went wide in disbelief. How could heโฆ I thought he was just a little selfish. This is way beyond selfishness now. If this ever gets out, I'll be the one everyone spits on.
He made others think that I would stop at nothing to cure my legs, even sacrificing others' livesโฆ Calvin thought, gasping for breath.
Heโd trusted Leo more than anyone, and now he realized Leo had been skimming, switching, and selling off his meds. No wonder my leg never got any better all these years.
Calvin lowered his head in defeat, eyes blazing with anger and hatred for his own blindness, for letting a wolf into his home. He had no one to blame but himself.
โSienna, I misjudged him. Iโm sorry, this is all on me."
The Z5 serum was a token of Siennaโs goodwill, yet heโฆ thought Calvin.
โUncle, this really isnโt your fault. The one to blame is Leo. Heโs cold-blooded and scheming. You donโt need to carry the weight of his crimes. What matters now is making sure Leo pays for what heโs done. Whether you want to call the police or not, thatโs entirely up to you,โ Sienna said.
Her words were gentle yet carried a quiet strength, striking straight to the heart.
Calvin couldnโt let a scumbag like Leo get away with this. He nodded, determination in his eyes. โIโm calling the police, Sienna. He has to pay for what heโs done. By the way, Josef said he was going to find Leo and get the Z5 serum back, but Iโm sure he didnโt succeed.โ
Siennaโs lashes fluttered as she stood up and glanced back. A man in a suit, about thirty years old, was walking over.
โUncle, I actually have something to take care of over there, so Iโll stop by and let Josef know on the way. You just rest. Donโt worry about the Z5 serum. This doctor is someone I trust, and heโs here for you. Iโve brought you a new dose of the Z5 serum, so let him give you the injection. Once your body is ready for surgery, Iโll personally make all the arrangements,โ Sienna said.
Calvin didnโt know how to thank Sienna. He wanted to say he was sorry for troubling her so much, but Sienna just patted his shoulder.
She gave him a gentle smile. โUncle, this was also my motherโs last wish. She always hated that things turned so hostile between you all. But honestly, no one was really to blame back then. You were all just doing what you thought was right. So please, donโt beat yourself up over it. My mom had already forgiven you long ago. She just never got the chance to say it. There are a few letters among her belongings that we couldnโt open. Theyโre probably meant for you. Iโll have someone bring them over later.โ
As Sienna finished speaking, she felt as if a huge weight had finally been lifted from her heart. These were words she should have spoken ten years ago.
After Sienna left, Calvin was left alone, sobbing like a child.
Sienna took the file on Leo, her features icy and her demeanor detached. Her gaze landed on Leoโs photo, a dangerous glint flashing inโฆ
โGo find Josef first. Heโs probably in trouble,โ she said.
With the deal about to go down, Leo was bound to get desperate.
Siennaโs guess was spot on. Josef really was in trouble.
He had just dropped off the Z5 serum at the testing center when Leo suddenly showed up, saying he needed Josefโs help with something.
Josef let his guard down and didnโt see it coming. Leo hit him from behind with something hard, knocking him out cold. In a daze, Josef vaguely felt himself being hauled into a car, then a sharp sting in his arm. Someone was injecting something into him.
