Capítulo 150: The Other Guy

"Be that as it may, these are TWO lives we are talking about here," Guy redirected. "It's not right."

"I know that!" Jean exclaimed all the while sporting an unperturbed face. "The burden weighs heavily on me, Teacher Larks. I know that if I intervene and fail, I will be responsible for the death of a person. However, if I don't intervene and let her die I will feel much worse BECAUSE I knew that I could have done something that may have had a chance, albeit minimal, of saving both her and her child."

"I won't let you attempt something that hasn't been verified," Guy retorted.
