The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1254

“What do you mean?”

Anthony’s face was tense, like he’d already decided which knee to kneel on first if things went south.

“Lottie only knows the pathogen has been developed. She hasn’t had a chance to learn about the specific symptoms yet.”

Dr. David took a deep breath, glancing through the glass at Charlotte, who was busy with her work. He kept his voice low. “The pathogen doesn’t actually do anything until it triggers the gene mutation. Before that, there are no symptoms at all. Nothing to find, nothing to test.”

If Charlotte had found out, she would have stepped in for sure.

All the pain Anthony had been through would have been pointless.

“When will the pathogen actually work?”

After listening to Dr. David, Anthony finally loosened his grip, his voice rough. “I can’t keep this from her much longer.”

Charlotte was too sharp.

“About a week.”

Dr. David had crunched the numbers and continued, “The research team just sent an update. With the bracelet’s help, the cure is ahead of schedule by a whole month. If nothing goes wrong, it should be ready by the end of the month.”

Maybe even sooner.

“The end of the month?”

Anthony’s dark eyes stayed locked on Charlotte as he thought about it.

That was still over twenty days away.

“How long will the clinical trials take once the cure is injected?” Anthony asked right away.

“Fifteen days.”

Fifteen days. That worked.

If everything went as planned, Lottie could get the safe version of the cure at the start of next month.

“Anthony…”

Remembering Mr. Churchill, who had the same gene mutation, Dr. David asked, “Why not let Mr. Churchill try the cure first?”

“We’re still looking into his background.”

Anthony’s eyes narrowed, his expression unreadable. “He might be Newell’s illegitimate son.”

The resemblance was just too strong.
