Not one to take things seriously, Arnold rarely showed his stern side. Hence, Bella and Justin were taken aback.
"I can run laboratory tests on the drug. Christopher isn't an idiot. He wouldn't bring poison to visit his soulmate's father unless he lost it." Arnold folded his arms and shook his head, clicking his tongue.

He realized that Arnold had turned to the dark side.
When Arnold first returned to the country, the worst thing he could do was swear. Now, he was a smooth operator.
Though she had tears in her eyes, Bella remained stubborn. "Even if the medicine can help, I don't want anything from Christopher!" Panicking, Arnold blurted, "We should at least try. What if the medicine works?" Justin was clear-headed enough to pick up social cues. He asked, "What do you mean, Dr. Larson? I thought Wyatt had survived the critical window.

It reveals a worsening of limb and motor impairments over the past two years. While the Larson family's drug helps manage the symptoms, it doesn't address the underlying cause." Mila hung her head low in dejection as despair washed over her.
She was a proud woman, always achieving the best in every little thing she did. However, she could not relieve the love of her life from an illness.
Mila tried everything but was met with little success. She hoped that she could take the pain for him.
"Besides, Chairman Thompson has been in a coma for three days since the operation. This is the longest the's been unconscious. If he doesn't wake up in the next two days, we might be looking at a bigger problem." Arnold dropped quite a bombshell.
Asher, the oldest and most level-headed, lost color in his face while Axel slumped against the wall in shock.
Despite not seeing has hor Wyatt as his father, Drew found himself drawn to a dark corner, where he wiped away his tears with his back to everyone.
"How did this happen? I thought he was fine... What changed?" Bella's eyes widened hysterically.
