Chapter 333 The Unspoken Doubt 

Quinn froze. She clearly hadn’t expected Johnathan to send her away. Her lips parted slightly, but no words came out for a long time

Sierra thought she was going to break down, but surprisingly, Quinn stayed calm. After a moment, she forced a faint smile

Thank you. You’ve thought of everything. I’m sorry for all the trouble I’ve caused you lately. Don’t worry, Hll get better 

soon

Seeing that forced smile on her face, even Sierra couldn’t help feeling a little sorry for her. But Johnathan remained unmoved

You don’t owe me an apology,” he said coolly, You owe it to yourself. Throwing your life away for a man like thisyou’re an 

idiot.” 

Sierra immediately reached out and tugged at his arm, trying to stop him. That was way too harsh. She was afraid Quinn would take it too hard

But Quinn stayed calm. In fact, she even looked a little remorseful

You’re right, Johnathan.” 

At that point, Sierra didn’t know what to say anymore. She finally understoodQuinn was a textbook case of sister complex

It didn’t matter what Johnathan said or did. To her, he could do no wrong

Especially after what she’d gone through in her last marriage 

Johnathan, on the other hand, seemed used to this side of her, Without skipping a beat, he began talking about Dora’s 

arrangements

I’ll pick her up on the weekends and take her to visit you. If you don’t want her to suffer, then get better quickly. Quinn, she’s your responsibility.” 

Quinn bit her lip and gave a firm nod. I know.” 

She looked at Dora, but the little girl didn’t look back at her. Instead, she looked straight at Sierra, eyes full of reluctance

She might’ve been young, but she could understand enough. She knew she was about to be sent away

Sierra didn’t have Johnathan’s emotional detachmentespecially when it came to Dora. The guilt hit her hard. But there was no way she could keep Dora with her every day. She had her own responsibilities, and she couldn’t let Dora sit in the security office all day 

Dora, there’ll be other kids at the new school. You’ll make friends. I’ll come pick you up Friday night, okay? I’ll get you a new watch, and I’ll call you every evening, alright?” 

Dora didn’t say a word. She just held out her pinky

Sierra froze for a moment, then hooked her own pinky around Dora’s. It’s a promise.” 

Sierra was completely focused on Dora. She didn’t notice the sudden shift in Quinn’s expressionthe malice in her eyes

But Johnathan did

He instinctively looked over at Quinn

Her eyes didn’t show any hatredonly guilt and sorrow, as if she couldn’t forgive herself for what she’d done to her daughter

Chapter 333 The Unspoken Doubt 

Finished 

But who had it come from

By the time everything was settled with Quinn and Dora, night had fallen. Sierra let out a long breath. She felt exhausted- and Johnathan hadn’t slept at all the night before

She wanted to ask what medication he’d given Quinn to suppress her symptoms, but when she saw the dark circles under his eyes, she held back

They grabbed a quick bite and went to bed

The next morning, on the way to campus, Sierra finally found her moment

What medicine did you give Quinn? Her symptoms were completely suppressed.” 

It’s not something you can buy.” 

Johnathan didn’t elaborate. He just said, It’s powerful, but it comes with side effects.” 

If Quinn’s condition hadn’t been that serious, he wouldn’t have used it

Hearing it wasn’t on the market made Sierra’s heart skip a beat. She still asked, Did you make it yourself?” 

Yeah. It was something I worked on for fun a while back. It’s got flaws, thoughthat’s why it can’t go public.” 

Johnathan answered casually

Sierra pressed her lips together. How do you know it’s flawed?” 

Johnathan gave her a surprised glance, frowning slightly

-Because I tested it, obviously. Isn’t that how it works? Sierra, what’s wrong with you?” 

They were both in this field. They knew not every research project saw the light of day. Plenty of drugs were developed but scrapped. Some failed with lab rats. Others didn’t make it past clinical trials

And clinical trials alone could take over a year

Sierra’s own work on her grandmother’s medication had been the same way. Even with Johnathan speeding up the proces 

they still hadn’t made it in time

That drug still wasn’t fully approved. It was still in the clinical phase 

Of course Sierra knew all this. She couldn’t believe how shaken she’d become

Why had a few of Shane’s words made her start doubting Johnathan
