Chapter 599
“Dr. Lowe, you can’t be too emotional in this line of work,” Magnus taunted
Emmanuel after swiftly dodging his fist. Then, he courteously extended a
hand toward Laura. “Ms. Laura, please come with me!”
“Of course.”
As Laura gently wrapped her arm around his, she sent a covert glance
toward Emmanuel before she left. Emmanuel, who managed to discern her
meaningful look, waited for the crowd to leave before he hastily removed all
of the cameras in the room.
Then, he called out softly, “Claudette! Claudette!”
In the next moment, Claudette slowly peeled her eyes open, mumbling under
her breath with a pained expression, “My hand…”
Hearing that, Emmanuel hastily examined her hand, only to realize that three
of her left fingers had been fractured by Magnus‘ grip.

A murderous intent reignited within him, and he even regretted not taking
Magnus‘ life in the hall earlier.
“Emmanuel, don’t be angry! We don’t have much time left… Can you hold my
hand while we talk?” A lovely yet sorrowful smile bloomed on her face.
Emmanuel quickly clasped her hands, and they were cold to the touch.
Although her cardiac surgery was a success, it was impossible for her to fully
recover in such a short amount of time, so her limbs were completely devoid
of any warmth.
“How warm…”
Claudette was finally content–this was why she had come back to life.
“Claudette, did you know that Magnus might not want you to survive? You’re
in great danger now!” Knowing that they were running out of time, Emmanuel
hurriedly informed her of his grave discovery.
“Yeah, I know…” There was no trace of fear in her eyes, and she even went on
to tell him something he found difficult to believe. “I even know that the
person he wanted to murder the most that night wasn’t Mackenzie, nor was it
you… It was me…”
Emmanuel’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief. That night, he had
witnessed for himself how Magnus‘ eyes had been overflowing with love for
Claudette. Had he misunderstood, or was it possible for Magnus to feign such
an expression?
“Claudette, why would he want to end your life? You’re the woman he loves!”
“Yeah, he really does like me… But, his affection isn’t pure…”

After Claudette went through the miraculous revival, her eyes now gleamed
with profound wisdom, as if she could witness things that were beyond their
world. With a grave smile, she continued, “He is a remarkably intelligent man,
and he is drawn to the strange and the unusual. Only things that are odd are
able to draw his interest, and I just happen to be a woman like that…”

“Ever since I was born, my body has been different from everyone else. I
heard that it’s because my aunt, Felicity, brought something back that
affected my mother’s body.”
“It may sound strange, but I believe it to be true. What about you, Dr. Lowe?”
she questioned, wanting to hear his opinion.
She believes in me! However, Emmanuel did not have an answer. It was his
first time seeing someone as strange as Claudette, and he was only just
finding out the reason behind her odd condition today.
“What exactly did Felicity bring back to the Lenoir family?” he asked.
“I didn’t dare to say it before, but now that you’re married to Mackenzie, I can
probably tell you, right? I think it’s an incomplete energy product that was
invented by the Quillen family called Heart of the Sun!”
I knew it!
