The World of Beasts: She's Got Their Hearts novel Chapter 121

"But there are so many distressed males. How many pints of blood is that going to take? This isn't happening. We're going back now, and we're going to put this freaking research behind us!" Finlay grabbed Analise's hand and turned around, intending to leave.

"Finlay!" Analise snapped. "This is my decision."

He immediately stiffened and gave her a surprised look. "Ana, you can't put yourself on the line just because you want to save the others."

"I know that." Analise stood on her toes and leaned close to Finlay's ear. "Have you forgotten that I'm not an ordinary pure human female?"

"But…" He trailed off. Of course, he understood what she meant. Pursing his lips, he glanced at Gideon. "Can we trust him? What if he's so focused on saving lives that he puts you in danger?"

"I'm a female, silly." Analise curled her finger and tapped his head. "I know you're worried about me. Relax. We know what's at stake."

"Well, are you really going to sleep with him tonight? Are you going to leave me alone?" Finlay felt a little sorry for himself when he recalled how Gideon taunted him.

"I am. Because I've already promised him." Analise nodded.

"Fine."

Analise followed Gideon downstairs and to the lab. She also checked on Clarice and saw how the latter was doing.

It was definitely possible to save Clarice. There was something in Reward Store that could substitute for her parts, but it was very costly.

Analise was a little conflicted about the whole deal. Firstly, she couldn't afford to buy the replacement part, but there was another reason holding her back. She wasn't sure if Clarice was worth the trouble.

She might not have been a businesswoman, but she did have her fair share of time in the industry. Self-interest would always come first whenever she was dealing with someone she didn't know or wasn't very close to.

"Clarice's situation is rather unique. You can think of it as her being in a vegetative state now. We need to find something suitable to swap out the glossy black chip in her chest," Gideon said when he saw Analise looking at Clarice.
