Pandora had already heard from Claire about calling off the engagement. She squeezed Claire’s hand and smiled. “Go ahead and get it over with. The family the Jameses picked for you just isn’t right.”
She’d been worried her granddaughter might still have feelings for the guy. But now, seeing Claire so calm, Pandora felt relieved.
Claire headed to the hospital. The treatment plan was ready, but they needed the White family’s approval before moving forward.
Daniel, the patient, didn’t have any objections. When he found out that Pandora’s granddaughter was leading his case, he actually felt kind of proud.
“I don’t mind,” he said, grinning. “You could even use me as a test subject if you want. Experiments always work out eventually. I just hope whatever you learn helps more people someday.”
It was obvious Daniel didn’t have much hope for the treatment itself. Whether it worked or not, he didn’t care. He just wanted to see some progress, some breakthrough for the future. As for his own life, he felt like he’d already had enough.
But Claire saw things differently. She tried to reassure him. “Daniel, we’re not just taking a shot in the dark here. We have a real plan. Honestly, between us, I think I could heal you even if I was working alone. I’m good at this. You have to trust me.”
Daniel looked at her with a twinkle in his eye, almost like a mischievous kid. “I do trust you. You remind me of your grandmother when she was young.”
Claire grinned. “Just as pretty?”
He chuckled. “Just as confident. You’ve got that spark.”
