“Mr. Lambert, you...” Lawrence let the words trail off intentionally.
Ellis, already familiar with Lawrence's reputation, didn’t flinch.
“We're here to see Kristian Shaw. Is now a good time?”
“Of course. But Kristian’s still in a fragile state, so you'll have to observe him through the glass. No entering the
room,” Lawrence said, his voice calm and matter-of-fact.
“Alright,” Ellis responded.
A few moments later, Lawrence led the pair down a corridor that looked like something straight out of a science
fiction flick. They passed through two layers of security doors before reaching Kristian’s room. Lawrence tapped
a switch on the wall, and a wide panel of the wall slid aside to reveal a large window.
Kristian looked more or less the same.
His complexion wasn’t as ghostly as before, but it still lacked any real color. His eyes were shut tight, sunken

help with during his treatment, just say the word. I'll handle it.”
“What about the expenses?” Lawrence asked.
“Ill take care of it,” Freya replied.
“Perfect.” Lawrence was clearly satisfied. “I admire generous people.”
“Don’t tell Kristian about this,” she instructed firmly.
Since Kristian didn’t want any more ties to her, there was no reason for him to know. Once he was back on his
feet, they could walk their separate paths without a backward glance.
Lawrence was already rubbing his hands together in his mind at the thought of the cash rolling in. “Of course.”
