Everyone finally heard the dull thud of the helicopter's rotors in the distance, growing louder as it approached. It touched down on the helipad at the bow of the ship, and the others carefully placed Trinity on a stretcher. Jared arrived at the last moment, and they both boarded the helicopter.Inside, Atlas arranged for a doctor and explained that there were signs of poisoning. They were already prepared for emergency treatment.I watched as Trinity's complexion grew worse. "Trinity, wake up, don't sleep. Stay awake. When you wake up, we'll be friends, the best kind! I was wrong. My perception of you was truly wrong! Wake up!"At that moment, I was petrified. I was afraid something might happen to Trinity. She sacrificed herself for me, didn't she? Was the blade poisoned? Why were they treating me like this? Why were they so determined to see me dead?Jared's expression wasn't much better. He held Trinity's hand tightly, offering only a simple, "Hang in there!"The helicopte

As we drove, he repeatedly reminded me to stay safe these days and not to overthink.I felt a pang of guilt and said to Atlas, "This morning, I saw Stella and Liora. I intentionally tried to start shit between them. Could it be...?"Atlas's expression turned serious as he shook his head. "Don't overthink it. Now that he's on the ship, he'll seize the opportunity. It's just a matter of timing."You did nothing wrong. Keeping them together is not a good sign. Creating a rift between them and making them suspicious of each other—that's the opening we need. It leaves room for us to act. You played that strategy well."He looked at me with a touch of tenderness. "Tonight, get some rest.""Atlas, are you confident about finding the antidote? After all, she got hurt because of me..."Atlas took my hand in his, looking at me meaningfully. "You can trust me. I won't stand idly by, whether it's for you or anyone on that ship. And Jitador is my territory. I'm confident in finding the anti

I looked at Ivanna, expressing my helplessness. "So, not only do I have this inexplicable connection with Stella, but there's also a reason for them to want to kill me.""Chlo, that..." Ivanna seemed at a loss for words."So, this wasn't a random incident but a premeditated one. Now, I just want to know their reason for doing so." I looked up at Ivanna, my eyes reflecting a sense of bewilderment. "But it's a bit dramatic. I never expected that the person who saved my life would turn out to be Trinity."Moreover, I seem to have an inexplicable connection with the Huffman family. Just like that, I'm now involved with them. Even though I'm repulsed by the Huffman family, I don't have a reason to sever ties with them. After all, I owe Trinity my life.""That's not necessarily a bad thing. Everyone has their own values, and the Huffman family is no exception. You don't need to look at the Huffman family with a different view. They might have a different way of doing things, but from a c

Before going to bed, I called Atlas. I informed him that everything was stable on the Trinity's side, and I felt a bit relieved. I sighed, grateful that I could lie down peacefully in bed, all thanks to Trinity enduring suffering on my behalf.The guilt in my heart made it impossible for me to sleep. Every event replayed in my mind like a series of scenes. Finally, as morning approached, I, sporting a pair of panda eyes, hastily took a warm shower. Urged by the three old ladies, I managed to eat something before rushing to the hospital.Surprisingly, when I arrived, Trinity had just woken up. Watching the doctor busy inside, I felt anxious. However, she didn't stay awake for long and slipped back into a deep sleep about half an hour later.The doctor brought good news from the blood test results, indicating that the excessive bleeding might have inadvertently helped as there were not many toxins remaining in her body. It was a sigh of relief for all of us.Anson also arrived at the

Jared had just left when an unexpected visitor arrived—Stella.She found her way to the intensive care unit and was surprised to see me standing outside. After a brief moment of hesitation, she approached. Her eyes were fixed on the situation inside the ward. "I didn't expect to find you here, Chloe.""Who did you think it would be?" I intentionally countered, "Surprised? Didn't see that coming, did you? You wanted to hurt me, but Trinity was the one who ended up here. I always manage to turn danger into safety."Stella chuckled casually, "Chloe, you are indeed fortunate in this regard. But how did you manage to offend so many people? You’re always being chased and hunted."Her words sounded light and detached, as if she were an uninvolved bystander. Yet, every time I recalled her ruthless actions, a shiver ran down my spine. I vividly remembered the eerie smile she flashed when she turned around outside my house.Her calm demeanor now made her even more formidable."Well. I wond
