Chapter 991: Chapter 991

Brian’s response held understanding.

“No need to blame yourself.

It was an unforeseen event.

You bear no fault.

”

His voice exuded an air of tranquility, though I couldn’t help but notice that Brian steadfastly avoided meeting Caleb’s gaze.

I thought of something, and I probed, “I heard from Melany that after your recovery, you declined legal counsel or visitors.

What prompted this decision?”

Brian’s head dropped in shame.

“I’ve committed a grave sin, and there’s no need for legal representation.

I’ll be subjected to the pack’s judgment and will accept the penalties I deserve.

”

Caleb’s face contorted with seriousness, his words pointed.

“Brian, lift your head and look at me.

”

Brian remained silent, and his face flushed with embarrassment.

He still avoided meeting Caleb’s eyes.

Caleb’s patience waned, and his tone grew stern.

“Brian, do you realize the gravity of your actions? By refusing legal assistance, are you willing to be sentenced to death for the assassination of an Alpha?”

Debra’s POV:

Brian was stunned.

After a long pause, he said, “I don’t care.

Even if I’m sentenced to death, I deserve it.

I’m responsible for hurting my friend, and I’m willing to accept the consequences.

” His voice was a little gruff.

Caleb clenched his jaw, the anger clear on his face.

“Based on what you’re saying, the controlled werewolves who attacked the others in the foggy forest should also receive the same sentence, or else it will be unfair.

”

“That’s not what I meant-“

Brian tried to clarify, but I interrupted him.

I knew Caleb was trying to scare him, so I chimed in, “Brian, I need to tell you something.

Before we came here, Melany was filling out an application.

She wants to get a position as a prison doctor in your prison.

”

Brian’s expression froze.

I felt like this wasn’t enough of a push, so I continued, “If you’re sentenced to life imprisonment, I’ll consent to her request and respect her wish to accompany you.

But if you’re handed a death sentence, I’m not sure how she will react.

”

“No, absolutely not!” Brian became agitated.

He instantly wrapped his fingers around the fence and pleaded, “Debra, can you help me persuade Melany? Don’t allow her to do something stupid!”

Naturally, I had no intention of agreeing with Brian.

I fixed my gaze on him for a few seconds before refusing him.

“I believe you have a better idea than me about Melany’s personality.

Even if I wanted to convince her, I wouldn’t be able to.

”

Brian went still and dropped his arms down dejectedly.

He shut his eyes and fell into deep thought for a long time.

Finally, he reached a decision and said, “Caleb, Debra, will you help me? I know I made a mistake, but the current medicine can’t completely cure the poisoned children.

I hope you will help me stay alive.

At Least I will get the chance to develop a new drug to save the children of the Thorn Edge Pack.

It’s impossible for Melany to accomplish this alone.

”

Caleb and I exchanged glances, feeling relieved.

This was great! Brian had finally found a purpose to live.

Our efforts had borne fruit.

“Don’t worry.

I’m going to use this excuse to save you.

If everything goes according to plan, I’ll succeed in helping you get away with it soon,” Caleb responded seriously.

Brian was still a little concerned.

“But I’m in prison and can’t leave at all.

The evidence against me is irrefutable.

If you want to conduct research about the targeted medicine, I’m afraid…”
