His Last Hope Is The Woman He Destroyed

Synopsis

Claire Thompson forgot to clean one test tube, so the new team leader, Sophie Carter, threatened to remove her from the national project and demanded all her preliminary data. After Claire refused without hesitation, she went to the hospital and saw Nathan Harmon. He hadn't been home in nearly a month. Nathan wore a long black coat, casually spinning his wristwatch, his tone brooking no argument. He sighed, "Claire, you're not following my instructions anymore. "It's only some trivial data. What difference would it make to hand it over? Are you really willing to risk your sister's life for it?" Claire's sister, Zoya Thompson, lay quietly on the hospital bed, her eyes closed and her face pale. Zoya lay motionless on the bed, eyes shut, face ghost-white. She had cancer, and a costly machine was the only thing keeping her alive. But Nathan's men were already holding the plug. One word from him, and they'd pull it. He was being so cruel to Zoya because Sophie wanted the data. Claire's hands clenched into fists, her nails biting into her palms until it hurt. Those files in her hands mattered. Sophie was new. Fine. But Nathan? He knew exactly what those files were worth.
