If she was going to die, he would die right alongside her.
It was only then that a young Maeve realized she might have made an unforgivable, catastrophic mistake.
Any drug on the market had to undergo rigorous testing and government approval.
Recklessly feeding an untested formula to her mother—what if there was a terrible Backlash later? Had she doomed her own mother?
But crying about it didn't change anything.
Under her father's iron-fisted command, she had no choice but to give Julian the exact same pill.
And so, years later, her parents looked like the bizarre miracles sitting before them.
Julian, who was in the prime of his life at the time, hadn't planned on handing the reins to Titus so early.
But as he grew younger by the day, he knew staying in power would paint a massive target on his daughter's back.
So he retired from the business world and took his wife far away.
Andres listened to the story in sheer amazement.
He also felt a mix of frustration and amusement at his wife's habit of turning people into guinea pigs.
"Well, it seems your experiment was a complete success."
Ten years had passed, and Julian and Serenity had preserved their youth, exactly as Maeve had intended.
Maeve gave a dry laugh.
"I'm still not sure if it's a success. They've looked like this for over six years now."
"I can't guarantee if they'll stay like this in a few years, or if they'll keep getting younger."
"Or if..."
She didn't dare say the rest out loud. She didn't even want to think about it.
She was terrified that her parents' lives might be cut short because of her childhood foolishness.
Andres pulled her into his arms, gently rubbing her back.
