A tremor ran through Serenity as she gazed at Clark." Dad... really made her go through so much?"
One was her biological mother.
One was her dad.
Serenity actually knew well who she leaned toward in her heart.
Clark kept his gaze on her as he nodded slowly. "I wouldn't joke about this. You heard how much agony your mother was in when she died."
There was a sense of emptiness and loss in Serenity's eyes.
Faye's wails before her death still resounded in her ears.
The woman loathed her. She did not even want to take a glimpse at her. Yet, that was her mother. Her dad did do that to her...
Serenity was still in disbelief, but it seemed that she must no longer stay in denial.
"Serenity, don't doubt my words." Clark sounded calm. "I've already arranged the route of our departure. As long as you follow what I say and do it, we can leave safe and sound. If you don't, I can guarantee that I have my ways to let the Wrights suspect you and see you as the culprit of all that has happened. By then, death is the only thing that awaits you. Life or death, I believe that you already have your decision."
Serenity looked at him numbly. "What... do you want m e to do?"
A flash of callousness gleamed in Clark's eyes as he dragged out a sack from under the table. Some red potions lay quietly inside.
"What are these?" Serenity asked.
Clark picked up a potion and stroked it like he was caressing his beloved. He spoke in a low tone. "No one knows that when I studied in the States back then, I was an apprentice of a famous chemist. I'm talented i n it, learning decades worth of knowledge from him within just a few years. After that, I continued studying in the field secretly. The Errol Virus is my greatest creation of these years. With it, I control plenty of people for my manipulation. But now that D r. Yale is going into the Boreal Forest, the Errol Virus will hardly maintain its threat when he comes back..."
Serenity’s gaze flickered. Suddenly, she cried out in alarm, "Hold on! You're saying... the poison that Susie's gotten previously was this Errol Virus you're talking about?"
"That's right." Clark nodded with a wash of frustration. "I just didn't expect her to be so lucky and find someone who could neutralize the virus."
"Since it's useless now, why are you taking them out?”
Serenity asked.
"Also, the number of the Errol Virus vials here is just nice. Careful not to crush them. It used to be better. I had enough ingredients and kept some stock. I thought that I wouldn’t have to worry about the ingredients' supply, and I wasted the Errol Virus away too easily. The ingredients to make this virus shrunk largely in recent years and are almost extinct now. The ones you're holding are the very last," said Clark.
"I know." Serenity held the bag containing the potions in a quiver.
Clark watched her and nodded in satisfaction. "I'll wait for your good news then, Serenity. Your mother will be proud of you when you kill the Wrights."
Clark cleared the scene of any evidence of their exchange after he spoke and opened the door.
"I hope to see you before eight," he said and left.
While keeping her eyes on his retreating back, a wash of hopelessness tinted Serenity's gaze.
Clark did not return to the Wrights’ after that. He went into a car and headed to a vacant place. A jet was already waiting there.
After boarding the jet, Clark switched on a surveillance device. He had just installed it an hour ago in a relatively secluded spot, so the Wrights did not notice it yet.
"Serenity, good girl, don't disappoint me." The screen showed the Wrights' living room. A dark, murky look loomed in the bottom of Clark's gaze.
