Chapter 689:
“Ms. Briggs, if there's nothing else, I'll need that medical consent form,” Lawrence said. “You can go after that—I
need to return to my patient.”
Freya dropped her gaze, pulling herself together. When she lifted her eyes again, they were calm.
She handed over the form, her voice even. “Letknow when his condition stabilizes.”
“He said he doesn’t want you involved,” Lawrence answered, his tone professional.
Freya met his gaze head-on. “One update, ten million.”
“I'm not that kind of guy.”
“A hundred million.”
“Deal.” Lawrence gave a cool smile. “Since you're just asking about my patient's condition, and not trying to
interfere... ask away.”
Freya nodded and turned to leave.
Lawrence called after her, “If you've got questions, just ask. I'll give you the full picture.”
For the right price, he would do anything.

heavy—burdened by emotions too tangled to name.
Freya sank onto the sofa, rubbing her brow.
Lost in the whirlwind of it all, she made up her mind.
She wouldn't walk away until Kristian was truly out of danger. She had to help him settle things with Lawrence.
Only then—only when all debts were cleared—could she step away in peace.
With her thoughts set, she rose to get ready for bed. Until Kristian recovered fully, he was safe in Lawrence's
hands. Even if something unexpected cup, Lawrence would manage it.

She saw this as a small repayment—for the life Kristian had once risked to save her.
While Freya was sorting through her thoughts, Lawrence was having a rougher night.
With the consent form in hand, he headed straight for his private facility, irritation simmering the whole drive.
