Chapter 493

Moneypenny's voice was very soft as he whispered to Henry, and hewas sliding peeks at Robin as she remained on the ground.

"Sir, you're just upset because Master lan is one of your grandsons, buthe did murder Irene Spencer.”

In other words, he was saying that Isaac would never forgive lan, andnow, they had no leverage or ability to fight Isaac.

"But as long as he leaves a seed, he's not gone forever,” Moneypennyfinished.

Henry quickly understood what he meant.

Turning to look at Robin and thinking about it briefly, he soon said,"Well, that's an idea.”

To assure him further, Moneypenny added, "Master Greg's line will notbe snuffed so soon, anyway. Even if something were to happen toMaster lan, his father still lives-he's lost the function of his legs, but thatdoesn't mean he's lost all functions below the waist.”

Henry's wrinkled eyelids twitched. "Sly old fox."

"Well, is there a reason it wouldn't work?" Moneypenny asked as hehelped him stand.

Henry considered it, but Moneypenny was right-his grandson wasgone, but his son was still alive.

Even if Isaac now had a stranglehold over the Jefferson family estate,they were still not poor enough to need alms.

A starving elephant would still outmatch a lion!

They still retained a considerable fortune to live grandly, and it was notthat hard an issue to get Greg a woman.

Money talks, after all.

As for lan, they could give up on him if things did not work out.

"What should we do?" Robin ran toward them just then, and tugged onHenry's sleeve. "You have to save lan!"

Henry traded glances with Moneypenny, and Moneypenny told her, "Asyou can see, Master Isaac isn't giving any quarter. There's nothing wecan do."

Robin was desperate. "Are we supposed to just sit and watch lan beinglocked up? He's still so young..."

Henry, however, had no patience for her complaints.

What good was crying? They would have gotten lan out if they could.But the reality was that they could not, and would crying change athing?

What a waste of time!

He was going to let Moneypenny tell her, but since his butler wasdawdling, he simply said, "If you care so much about him, are youwilling to bear his child?"

Robin froze. What was that supposed to mean? How did it suddenly getto that?

"Shouldn't we be thinking about how to save lan?" she asked.

"We can't get him out," Henry made it very clear. "But you should beable to make it inside..."

"W-What?" Robin's teary gaze showed both understanding anddisbelief.

“You will go into his cell and get pregnant with his child. Then, I'll getyou out."

Robin dropped limply to the ground. "W-We're not going to save him?"Henry breathed a long sigh-it was not as if he did not want to do it, hejust could not.

This was about the only thing he could manage.

“It's fine if you don't agree to it. There's no forcing this anyway," Henrysaid, and turned toward Moneypenny. “Let's go.”

"...Wait."

Wiping away her tears, Robin said, "rll do it."

Henry naturally expected that answer-she loved lan so much she was definitely willing tosacrifice herself.

As such, he turned toward his butler, "Make the arrangements, Moneypenny.”

“Of course, sir."

Over at Minerva, Irene was looking for her department head, Dr. Pitt, while holding a stack ofmaterials, including the latest progress report on the development of a fully artificial heart.The theme of the forum of Zidonia happened to be about that, and everyone knows that MeadClinic stood at the top of this field. With the progress report and the pile of data she carried,she was hoping to bring this back home, and the Zidonian research on artificial heart wouldmost definitely gain a breakthrough.

She was at once hopeful and apprehensive, but just as she was about to knock on the door toDr. Pitts office, she heard voices.

As she listened to the conversation, her face fell...
