Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 85

Clara’s POV:

Clara studied the man’s movement as he continued to ramble and write. Every time he

would write an equation; he would pause in frustration and erase it. It was as if he were trying to figure out the right balance. As she grew closer to the board, Clara realized she’d recognized what type of medicinal equations these were.

Cancer treatments.

The man was trying to create the perfect equations for cancer treatments. Some of the patterns she actually recognized; it was the early stages of her mother’s work. Suddenly, Clara recognized who the frustrated man was at the board.

Ethan Taylor.

Without thinking, Clara blurted out what was wrong with the equation.

“Artasium.”

Startled, Ethan swiftly spun his head around to see Clara standing before him. His eyes darkened and his brows furrowed as he stared at her.

‘What is she doing here?‘

Before he could ask why she was there, Ethan realized she may have figured out what was wrong with his formula.

“What did you say?”

Clara instantly blushed! She hadn’t meant to interfere. Holding up her hands in defense, she began to explain.

“I’m so sorry! I wasn’t trying to be rude or interfere-”

Ethan immediately cut her off.

“Clara I don’t care about that! What did you just say?”

Startled, Clara walked up to the board standing directly next to Ethan.

“What you’re missing in your formula and why it seems as though no matter what you’ll need radiation. It’s artasium. It’s a mineral that was invented last year by the bio company

Min–Bright.”

Ethan was very familiar with Min–Bright. It was an advanced mineral and herbal bio- company. The company worked directly with the world’s global space program collecting minerals and herbs from uninhabited planets and asteroids. Many medicinal

breakthroughs happened due to their research and collections.

Ethan looked at Clara in slight shock. Clearing his throat, he began to speak.

“So, you’re saying this artasium mineral is what you added for your formula to complete the treatment?”

Still staring at the board, Clara didn’t immediately answer. Her face scrunched up. The equation formulas Ethan was using was some of her mother’s early work. The formulas were a little outdated, her mother had perfected many of these formulas in her later

years.

“Where did you get these equations from?”

“Your mother.”

Clara looked at Ethan with a puzzled expression. Letting out a light chuckle.

“No, I know ‘where‘ you got it from‘. It’s just…these are pretty old. She perfected many of these equations later on.”

“Is that right?”

Ethan looked at Clara with a passive smile.

“Is that why you were able to create a cure?”

Clara’s smile was that of someone proud.

“Yup. I was able to expand and advance my mother’s work. Filling in the codes where she either left off or left open. Even in death I still have her with me.”

Ethan looked at Clara with a compassionate look. He could see the love and sullen sadness in her eyes as she thought of her mother. Without realizing it, Ethan gently grabbed Clara’s hand. Startled, her eyes shot up at him.

“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean-”

Clara blushed.

“That’s okay. I’m sure my face gave away more than I intended. Thank you.”

Ethan let out a light chuckle. Turning to Clara, his face became serious. It was time he told her everything.

“Clara, I think now is the time I explain why I’m so interested in you.”

Clara gave Ethan an impassive expression. She’d been wondering about this since the say she learned about the gala and even before from her previous life. The question constantly burned.

‘What exactly did Ethan Taylor need for her?‘
