MIRO
My brows furrowed as I stared at him. “I already have Healer Kwan on it.”
“Healer Kwan can’t do anything for you. This is high level Alchemy. I am a scientist. Let me help you.”
“Why?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest. “Not that I don’t appreciate the gesture, but why are you helping?”
Mr. Cresswell sighed and looked down at the event going on. “Without Theon, Ryn will fail. I simply want to level the playing field.”
Could this be a test? “I never said I was on Ryn’s side. I just want my brother free.”
“Of course.” Mr. Cresswell replied. Then he laid a hand on my shoulder. “There is so much you don’t know and so much that I regret. I know you’re pretending with the Circle. I am too.” novelbin
My head snapped to him and he smiled. “It’s true Ryn is a threat to us all, including me and if Ryn eventually finds out who she is and comes for us all, I am hoping she will remember the good.”
I blinked at him. That’s why you’re encouraging her friendship with Sadie.”
“She wouldn’t want to kill her best friend’s parents, would she?”
Ifrowned. “Aunt Lydia is involved too?”
Mr. Cresswell for the first time looked bothered and weary. “Like I said earlier, there is much you don’t know. We all did terrible things and I wish I had done the right thing back then but I didn’t and If Ryn comes for me, she will be justified.”
Now, I am bothered. “What did you people do?”
Mr. Cresswell looked away, his hand leaving my shoulder. “I can’t say. We all swore an oath that day and it’s binding. Just follow the clues whenever you see them. You will find out the truth. In the meantime, Theon needs our help. We can’t let your father win.”
I sighed and nodded and after he left; I continued to watch Ryn until she entered the car with Sadie in the driver’s seat.
Whatever is going on shows that Ryn is not guilty, and my father and his cohorts are the ones responsible. I need to be there for her as well as for my brother. Now more than ever, Theon needs me. He’s been taking care of me all this while, and now it’s my turn.
I will find the antidote, but first Ryn needs to know what’s going on.
I pulled out my phone and sent her a text asking to meet at the first restaurant Theon took her. A few minutes later, she replied, asking if she could bring Sadie and I decided why not. The more the merrier.
“Is everything okay?” She asked after a while.
“Not really. Theon needs our help. All of our help.”
About an hour later, Ryn and Sadie showed up at the restaurant and, after ordering some food, I explained what’s happening to them.
knew I hated that woman.” Sadie scrunched up her nose.
Ryn remained expressionless, but I could see the anger burning in her eyes. “So what do we do? How can I help?”
Chapter 203.
I took a deep breath and exhaled. “You need to know it’s going to be quite risky.”

Ryn scoffed. “With what I have been through? You can call, ‘Risk my middle name. Besides, Prince Theon has put himself on the line for me countless times. It’s high time I return the favor.
I smiled, really glad I came through with the car for her. This time, I’m done being hostile to Ryn. Iff she helps me see this through, then I’ll stop fighting what I feel for her.
