Maridona could not explain the strange pounding in her chest on their way to her father's personal laboratory. They have been on the road for two hours already.
She carried her child while Jacoben sat beside her at the back and Victor at the front.
"I don't feel good about this," she whispered.
Jacoben gave her a worried look. "Will you be okay?"
She nodded. "I have to be. I hope Lanz is all right. I feel guilty for getting him involved."
Her husband did not answer with a dark expression on his face. It made her more anxious. What happened to their best friend?
Jacoben looked outside the car's window before turning to her again. "Are you familiar with the lab we're going to?"
She nodded while glancing outside. The surroundings have become familiar. "Actually, we're almost there," she added.
A few minutes later, the car pulled over. They entered a small cabin in the forest where a secret laboratory lay beneath it.
