Chapter 726


    Chapter 726 Save Her Yourself


    “If I were alone here today, I wouldn''t refuse to save this child. However, I have guests at my house. I


    can''t risk putting them in danger.” With that said, Cassidy told Curtis, “Close the door.”


    “Cassidy, you don''t know what the entire situation is. What you saw was true, but you don''t understand


    what was going on. It''s all your own spections.” Fernando attempted to exin. Yet, Cassidy didn''t


    give him any chance to justify it further.


    “How do you exin Mr. Lambert''s death, then?” Cassidy scoffed before continuing, “Mr. Lambert''s


    daughter-inw visited Yuna''s mansion before. I saw her inject something into the daughter-inw''s


    body. There was something in the syringe, but I couldn''t tell what it was. Fernando, if you want to save


    the child, just do it yourself.”


    With that, Cassidy turned and went into the house.


    Yasmin stood beside Curtis and lifted her head to look at him. She pleaded in a tearful voice, “Curtis,


    please save Yuna. If you save her, I promise I''ll keep an eye on her and not let her listen to that person


    anymore.”


    Rayna stood on the balcony. Seeing that Curtis was about to shut the door, she spoke. “Curtis, let that


    child in.”

    “Rayna, this is Cassidy''s ce. Both of us don''t have the right to do so.” Curtis merely raised his eyes


    and nced at Rayna before quickening his action of closing the door.


    Yasmin watched the door close in front of her and burst into tears.


    Yet, Curtis merely nced at Yasmin withoutforting her and turned to head back to the living room.


    Rayna spun around and walked straight to Cassidy''s bedroom, only to find that thetter''s door was


    shut tight when she arrived.


    Rayna stood there and raised her hand, wanting to knock on the door. However, she didn''t do so even


    after lifting her hand for a long while.


    Then came James'' voice from behind her, saying, “Rayna, what Cassidy did was right.”


    Hearing that, Rayna looked at James in puzzlement. He handed his phone to her, and there was an


    image sent to him by Vance. It was an autopsy report of the cook''s dead father-inw.


    Rayna pointed at the part circled in red on the autopsy report and asked, “What does this mean?”


    “This is a type of hormone that our body creates, and it''s above average. I don''t really know about the


    details, but Vance told me if this hormone went above the average, it would send an elderly into shock.”


    While James was exining, he switched the interface to show a chart that stated all hormones


    created by the human body. “You can take a look at this. If you can''t understand this, you can let those


    at Glory look at it. Since Glory researches and develops skincare products, they will understand the


    contents of this chart better.”


    Rayna lowered her head to look at the data spread on the phone—which was about the distribution of


    hormones and cells—and nodded. “Send this to me. I''ll have a look.”


    James agreed before continuing, “I''m not sure if Curtis has mentioned this to you before. When he


    suspected there was something wrong with the Serekos, I did some digging online and found that a


    company called Zeller Group was getting into the skincare industry as well. I don''t know if this is just a


    coincidence or if it was nned all along. About Fernando Zeller and Mr. Zeller...”


    “Are you saying that someone is extracting skincare products and testing them on humans?” Rayna


    asked calmly.


    “We can''t rule out that possibility. Otherwise, this will be too much of a coincidence.” James nodded.


    “ording to Vance, something was discovered in Mr. Lambert''s skin. It was something that could


    destroy the cells in the deep skinyer and awaken something in the skin. However, that thing isn''t


    really active.”


    “James, do you know anyone who researches nts?” Rayna nced at the door that was tightly shut


    before pulling James to the corner at the opposite end. “Secretly get a nt and some soil samples


    from here out and have someone conduct research on them.”


    “All right. Leave it to me.” James nodded in agreement.


    While the siblings were discussing the matter, Curtis walked toward them. “Fernando has left with the


    child.”


    Rayna nodded. After turning around to nce at Cassidy''s door again, she said, “Curtis, you should


    arrange for someone to protect Cassidy. I''m quite worried about her.”


    They couldn''t be certain if Andrew was doing what they assumed he was. All Rayna knew was that, as


    of right now, Cassidy seemed to be in a dangerous situation.


    “Okay, I got it.” Curtis was no fool. Now that the situation had progressed to such a state, he had


    roughly figured things out.


    Luckily, his suspicion was right. The thing inside Rayna''s body wasn''t a parasite. After hearing the


    conversation between Cassidy and Fernando, Curtis was absolutely sure.


    However, there was something that he was still worried about. Just now, when he touched Yuna, he


    could feel the coldness on her body. If it wasn''t because he could still hear her breathing, he would


    have assumed that she was dead.


    Curtis held Rayna''s hand and felt the warmth on her body. Gradually, he felt himself calming down. Yet,


    he was still worried.


    Just as Curtis and Rayna were about to return to their bedroom, they saw Yasmining downstairs,


    her eyes reddened and swollen because of all the crying.


    Rayna wanted tofort Yasmin. However, her heart lurched when she saw the little girl staring at


    them with swollen eyes as if Curtis and Rayna were her enemies. “Yasmin—”


    “This is all your fault! This is all because of you! If it weren''t for you, Ms. Cassidy would save Yuna!”


    Yasmin yelled at Rayna. While she wasining loudly, she kept looking at Cassidy''s door. “Liars!


    You''re all liars!”


    “Yasmin, there''s more to this than what meets the eye.” Rayna went forward and tried to reason with


    Yasmin. Unexpectedly, thetter shoved her arm away and shouted, “She''s clearly doing something


    bad! But you''re still trying to trick me!”


    Upon hearing that, Rayna was rendered speechless. She turned around and nced at Curtis, who


    had a dark expression on his face. She didn''t know how tofort Yasmin at all.


    Just when she was utterly lost on how to handle the situation, Cassidy opened the door and walked


    out. “Yasmin, why are you throwing such a big tantrum?”


    “Ms. Cassidy, you''re a liar! You''re a big fat liar!” Yasmin screeched at the top of her lungs at Cassidy.


    p!


    A crisp p sounded in the corridor outside of the bedroom.


    Shock and disbelief were written on Rayna''s face as she looked at Cassidy, who had a grim


    expression. Rayna stepped forward and grabbed Cassidy''s hand. “Cassidy, how could you hit her?”


    “Am I supposed to dote on her instead of hitting her?” Cassidy turned around and nced at Rayna


    indifferently. “Yasmin, don''t think that I don''t know you''re the one who let Yuna in when she came here


    the second time.”


    Yasmin was still upset before she heard Cassidy''s words. Upon hearing that, however, her angry


    expression was reced by sheer panic.


    “Since I can adopt you, I can also abandon you. Don''t test my limits,” Cassidy warned Yasmin in an icy


    tone. “If you want Yuna, you can find her yourself and stay in that mansion with her to be


    someone''s test subject. No one''s stopping you. However, if you''re trying to harm others, I''ll be the first


    one to punish you.”


    “Cassidy...” Cassidy''s cold remarks caused Rayna to break out in a cold sweat. “Yasmin is still a child.”


    “Even if she''s a child, she''s already ten. She should understand how to distinguish between right and


    wrong,” Cassidy said coldly and looked at Yasmin sternly. “Yuna is someone who likes to pretend and


    is always pretending to be pitiful and innocent. She''s way more capable than you, Yasmin.”


    When Rayna—who had been standing at the side—heard Cassidy''s words, she asked, “Are you saying


    that the child was just faking it?”


    After shooting Rayna a nce, Cassidy was just about to reply. Instead, Curtis spoke. “I don''t think she


    was faking it. When I touched the child and checked her temperature just now, she felt cold. But she


    was still breathing.”


    Curtis'' remarks stunned Cassidy and Rayna. Meanwhile, tears rolled down Yasmin''s cheeks again


    when she heard Curtis'' words.


    “Really?” Cassidy inquired Curtis.


    “Mm-hmm. It''s real,” Curtis responded nonchntly. “There''s a wound on the child''s waist. It seems like


    she was hurt by a knife.”


    “Why didn''t you say so just now?” Rayna looked at Curtis with her brows furrowed. She seemed to be


    reprimanding him.


    Curtis was unperturbed and only shifted his gaze toward Cassidy. “The wound isn''t deep. I think Mr.


    Zeller is capable of handling it.”


    Cassidy raised her eyes and nced at Curtis before nodding calmly. “Fernando''s adept at medicine.


    He can save her.”


    “That''s good.” Rayna felt the guilt within her being soothed after Cassidy admitted it herself.
