Undoubtedly, the message was from Kane.

Gregory snatched the phone from my hands and dialed back immediately.

-No answer.

I took my phone back and stepped out to the balcony to call Pearl.

Hearing my voice, Pearl seemed rather upset, even surprised, "Jane, you're still alive..." Her voice trailed off, "What do you want calling me?" Pretending ignorance.

I didn't have the patience for beating around the bush, so I got straight to the point: "Pearl, I know you want to fight for Dorothy's share of the Myers family estate. Fine, I agree. Everything that Ramona leftin her will, I'm willing to give to Dorothy. Is that satisfactory?" "Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Pearl sounded pleased, leisurely saying, "Are you negotiating with me, or... begging me?" I glanced through the sliding glass door at my grandmother, sleeping peacefully, and suppressed my anger, "Take it as you will. Right now, I just need the antidote. If something really happens to Ramona, it won't be good for you either, right?" They were always afraid that if Ramona regained her sanity, she would bringback into the Myers fold. But actually harming Ramona and risking her life was a step they dared not take.

After all, they were afraid of the possibility that the Myers estate would end up in my hands as per Ramona's will. Indeed, they could use the antidote to blackmail me, but if Ramona were to suffer because we couldn't administer the antidote in time, they should be more afraid than I am.

It's just that I can't afford to gamble.

In the end, it's about who's more ruthless.

Pearl chuckled lightly, "Have you thought this through? The Myers estate might not be what it was a few years ago, but to the vast majority, it's still an unreachable status. Are you really okay with giving up your inheritance and your place in the Myers family?" I replied coldly, "Whether I'm okay with it doesn't matter, does it? Cut the crap. If you're worried I'll change my mind, I can sign a contract, in black and white. The condition is the antidote in exchange." Truth be told, if it weren't for Ramona, whether or not I returned to the Myers family didn't matter much to me.

"Are you sure?" She sounded incredulous.

I barely hesitated, checking the time. "It's seven now. Bring the antidote and the contract to the hospital by ten, and I'll be waiting. Is that okay?" Pearl readily agreed, confidently saying, "Of course, no problem." After hanging up and returning to the hospital room, Gregory looked at me, already guessing what I had done.

"She agreed?" he asked.

"Yes, she did." I nodded.

Of course, she would agree. After all their elaborate schemes, this was exactly what they wanted.

While I had been on the phone, Herbert and Abdul had already left.

Bella pulled a wet wipe from her bag to clean my arm, which had somehow gotten dirty in the abandoned factory, and suggested Wcern, "Lethandle this, okay?" "No need." Having cto an agreement with Pearl, I felt relieved and smiled at Bella, "She and Victor must be the last people you want to see, right? It's better for you to stay out of sight, out of mind." I couldn't completely detach myself from this situation, since Ramona was my grandmother.

But Bella could stay out of it. If it was back possible, why drag her back into this nauseating relationship with Pearl and Victor, forcing her to relive past betrayals? Bella was worried. "But you..." "I'll be okay." I glanced at Gregory, saying, "Gregory is here to help me, and besides, I've already made arrangements with Pearl. She'll be bringing the antidote over ater."

Seeing my resolve, Bella didn't push m further, only insisting that Knot overexent myself. After Ivy brought dinner and we had eaten together, Bella finally left.

In the vast hospital room, only my grandmother, Gregory, and I remained.

With a solution to our problems in sight, I relaxed and opened my arms to Gregory, Gregory, hug?" X
