Chapter 55: Frozen Frame
Giselle Frost didn't know the first thing about medicine—she was almost entirely ignorant on the subject—but she knew Serena Blackwood inside and out.
Elias's father's illness might genuinely need a world-class medical team, but Serena would never actually arrange one. Elias simply wasn't worth that kind of investment to her. The real danger was far simpler: all Serena had to do was lie about either the severity of the condition or whether the team had ever been secured, and she could keep Elias on a leash for next to nothing.
Yet after the way he had turned her down time and again, Giselle knew that even if she laid out the truth, he wouldn't believe a word. Besides, this was all still just her suspicion…
The silence stretched between them, heavy and unbroken.
Giselle finally spoke, her voice flat. "I'll help you."
"I can get a medical team capable of treating your father."
