ira’s /ibiPOV/i/bbi: /i/b

Sophie began to look around the room as everyoneughed at her.

i“/iiTaylor /iiwas /iiright/i, ishe /iiis /imediocrei./i”

Anna looked on in horror. Ethan turned to the crowd, bringing the attention back to

ra.

“You iall /iiwanted /iproof ithat /iira /iicreated /iia /iicure/i. iAllow /iime /iito /iiintroduce /iiyou /iiall /iito someone/i.”

Ethan Signaled for his sister Maria to take the stage. The crowd looked on in suspense. Who was this mystery girl and what did she have to do with the proof.

Ethan made his way back to the stage.

i“/iiAllow /iime /iito /iiintroduce /iiyou /iiall /iito /iimy /iibaby /iisister/ii, /iiMaria /iiTaylor/ii.” /i

Maria smiled brightly at her brother and ra. Bowing her head, she addressed the

crowd.

“Hello ieveryone/i. As imy /iibrother /iisaid/ii, /iiI’m /iihis /ii16 /iiyear /iiold /iilittle /iisister /iiMaria/ii, /iand up iuntil /iNovember ofst iyear/ii, /iiI /iihad /iistage /iifour /iiLeukemia/ii./ii” /i

Maria turned to ra, tears in her eyes.

i“I /iwas saved iby /iithis /iiangel/ii. /iira /iiRouleau/ii./ii” /i

The crowd went wild, gasps and questions poured through. Many cheering her own and praising. Suddenly, Jameson stepped back towards the stage.

i“/iiThat’s /iimpossiblei! /iThere’s ino /iiway /iira /icould ihave /icreated a cure for cancer andpleted a itrial/ii! /iiShe /idoesn’t ihave /iiany /iof iher /icredentials, which means if she did, it was done illegallyi! /iiI /iidemand /iithe /imedical board immediately intervene and shut down iETP/ii!! /iiThey /iiare /iallowing iillegal /iitesting/ii!!/ii” /i

The crowd went silent, if what Jameson said was true, the medical board would have no choice. Ethan looked at ra with amusement, smiling back at the man she loved, ra gave an approved nod.

i“/iiI /ican assure everyone; no imedical /iiws /iihave /iibeen /iibroken/i.i” /i

“Bullshit! You just said my daughter created a cure and then used it on a person!”

Ethan rolled his eyes and signaled for Owen. Walking towards the stage, Owen smiled

brightly at ra and Ethan while handing him the paperwork from their contracts.

“iLast /iiyear/ii, /iiwhen /iiI /iicame /iito /iira /ifor ihelp/ii, /iiI /iihad /iievery /iiintention /iion waiting /ifor iher /iito /iigraduate /iiand /iireceive /iiher /iicredentials /iias /iiI /iiknew /iithat /iiwas /iithe /iionly /iiway /iishe /iicould /iilegally /iiplete /iithe /iitrials/ii./ii” /i

Ethan paused for a moment while looking at his little sister and then ra.

“But ira /iihad a /iifear/ii. /iiThe /iifear /iithat my little /iisister /iimay /iinot /iihave /iiover /iithree years /iito /iiwait/i. iThe /iifear /iithat /iiall /iiof /iiher /iihard /iiwork /iiwould /iibe /iiin /iivain /iiif /iishe /iicouldn’t/ii. /iiSo/ii, /iishe /iidid /iisomething /iithat /iino /iione/ii, /iinot /iieven /iime /iiwould /iihave /iiever expected/i.i” /ifn938b Official source is f?ndnovel/fn938b

The crowd was so quiet you could hear a feather drop. Everyone waited to hear what

ra did in order toplete the trials.

“Signed iher /iiresearch /iiover /ito ime /iiin /iiorder /iito /iiplete /iithe /iitrials/ii./ii” /i

GASPS!!!!!!!

Someone from the crowd stood up in disbelief.

“Wait!! iAre /iiyou /iitelling /iime /iishe /iiallowed /iiyou /ito own iher /iiresearch /iijust /iso she could save your

sister!!!”

Ethan smiled.

i“/iiThat /iiis /iiexactly /iiwhat /iiI /iam isaying/i. iSo/ii, /iiyou /isee, ishe’s /iinot /iliar, ishe’s /inot fraudi, /iishe’s /inot a icriminal/i. iShe’s /ia sainti. /iBecause ishe /iiwanted /ito help me so much, ishe /iirisked /iithe /iipossibility /iiof /iilosing /iiher /iiown /iiresearch /iijust /iso ishe /icould isave /iiMaria/i. iShe /iitrusted /ime that muchi./ii” /i

Light sobs began to pour through the crowd. Many couldn’t believe it. ra Rouleau was a pure saint.

i“/iiHow /iiselfless/i.”

Someone said through sobs.

i“/iiA /itrue hero, iCaroline /iwould ibe /iso iproud/ii./ii” /i

Jameson and Jason stood in shock. Not only had ra created two cures, but she also signed one of them over to Ethan Taylor. Filled with rage, Jameson began to yell.

i“/iira/ii!! /iiHow /iicould /iiyou /iido /iisomething /iiso /iistupid! /iiYou /iisigned /iiyou /iiresearch /iiover /ito iETP/ii!!! /iHow icould /iiyou/ii!! /iI’m iyour /iifather/ii! /iiThat /iiresearch /iishould /iihave /iigone /iito /iiJGP/ii!/ii” /i

Jameson was practically foaming at the mouse. Jason chimed in.

“iHonestly /iira/ii, /iihow /iitreacherous /iicould /iiyou /iibe/i. iYou /iisigned /iiyour /iiresearch /iiover /iito /iisomeone /iiyou /iidon’t /iieven /iiknow /iiinstead /iiof /iiyour /iifather /iior /iifiancé/i! iHe /iiknow /iihas /iithe /iiright /iito /iisteal-/i”

ra stared directly at Jason. The nerve of him talking about trust.

“iTell /iime /iisomething /iiJason/ii, /iiwhich /iione /iiof you /iifound /iimy /iijournal /iifirst/ii? /iYoui? /iiMy /iifather/i? Sophiei?/ii” /i
