"Olivia, it looks like we're really going to end up in this place," Jeslyn whispered in a choked voice.Olivia, who had been glued to the man who was still laughing loudly in the doorway, turned her head. Her expression turned flat. There was annoyance in her eyes. "You're finished, I don't want to. I have a long future ahead of me, and it can't be wasted because of that crazy man. I will fight him and get out of here safely."Jeslyn's expression instantly changed. She turned her head, looking appraisingly at Olivia's body. That, of course, made Olivia feel uncomfortable. "What did you see?""Are you sure?" Instead of answering, Jeslyn asked. "Didn't you just say that your back hurts again? Ah, forget it! Before thinking about that... take a look at your legs and arms. Let alone getting out safely, you might not even be able to remove that damn rope."Olivia suddenly came to her senses and looked stiffly at the rope that bound her. It looked like what Jeslyn had said was true. Just lo
"Olivia!" shouted Jeslyn, going over to Olivia to help her up. However, before her hand could reach out, Bliss viciously kicked her as well, sending her tumbling backward with a resounding cry of pain."Shut up if you don't want to feel the consequences!" threatened Bliss with a glint of earnestness in his sly eyes.However, Jeslyn was not a girl to give up. She quickly got up, regardless of her sore shoulder, and glared at Bliss. "You shut up! One more time, you hurt me or Olivia, and your sentence in prison will increase!""Oh yeah?" Instead of being scared, Bliss mocked Jeslyn and laughed loudly.Jeslyn's emotions were running high. She released the ropes on her legs and arms and stood up. And out of nowhere, she pressed down on Bliss' neck using the rope. Bliss was, of course, shocked by her sudden action. Even Olivia, trying to get up with the pain in her back, widened her eyes."Jeslyn, don't!" she shouted in panic. She rushed over and tried to pull Jeslyn away, but the girl see
The arrival of that person, who knows who, unconsciously exerted pressure that made Bliss and his friends uneasy. His tightly covered face, coupled with the light from outside, made him look even more majestic, like someone from another realm assigned to teach the bad guys a lesson.Even as his feet began to take a step, the tapping sound of his shoes echoed, further adding to the invisible pressure. The aura around him suddenly became terrifying. The two men who had been assigned to take care of Jeslyn were now standing upright and staring at the person with great vigilance."Who are you?" asked Bliss angrily. He was annoyed that her activities were being interrupted by an unknown person. "Do you know who you're dealing with? I'm having fun, and you're ruining it! Are you looking to die?"However, the person did not give any response other than stopping his steps right in the middle of the room.Bliss was getting angry. He looked at the person in front of him and realized it was a ma
But something unexpected happened.Bliss, who had been laughing triumphantly, now turned pale. She stared in horror at her dagger that could not hurt the man in front of her. Let alone scratching him, even if she kept pressing it, the sharp object could not move at all, like a barrier was blocking it."You... who?" Bliss' voice trembled as her gaze now rested on the man's sharp eyes.They were sharp, empty, and full of hatred. A gaze that no human should have.Knowing this alone, Bliss immediately pulled away and tried to create some distance from him. "I have no problem with you. You were the one who ruined my fun first. What I did earlier was nothing more than self-defense because you... my friends, you even killed without knowing what we did wrong."Unfortunately, all his words were just like a breeze to the man. Either he wasn't listening, or he didn't care, but he didn't seem to have any emotions other than anger. His gaze continued straight at Bliss, like a hitman targeting his
"Really? This is real, right? I'm not dreaming, right?" Clarita gaped in disbelief as she saw the figure that had made her anxious now lying comfortably on the bed.Chloe, beside her, leaned closer to Clarita and held her hand in fear. "I don't think it's Brother Felix. It could be a bad person wearing a leather mask. Sis, let's go! We could be in danger if we stay here.""But I think he is Felix," said Veronica, staring intently at Felix's face. The corners of her lips suddenly lifted, forming a shy smile that blushed her face. "Look at that handsome face! Even if he wore a mask, it wouldn't be perfect like this. He really is Felix. I'm sure!"Chloe's face instantly turned flat. She gave Veronica a lazy look and was about to spew her epithets. But Clarita, who realized this, immediately nudged her arm, making her quickly withdraw her gaze. "Why?""The doctor has examined him and confirmed that he is our big brother. So there's nothing to worry about or be afraid of," said Clarita, wh
Clarita did not answer and instead pulled Secretary Jorell away. However, Secretary Jorell immediately held back and asked anxiously. "What exactly is going on, Miss? Why do you look so panicked?""This won't do! You have to come with me! Come quickly!" Clarita again tugged at Secretary Jorell's hand, but the man held back and did not want to move from his place.Clarita turned her head in annoyance and threw out her hands. "What's wrong with you? I need your help, why do you keep quiet?""It's not like that. But-""Clarita." Felix interrupted Secretary Jorell, who seemed at a loss to explain.Clarita gasped with rounded eyes. She hadn't heard wrong, right? Someone was calling her name, and it sounded like the voice of someone she had missed so much.Seeing Clarita still silent, Felix called out to her again. However, instead of refusing or answering, the girl looked at Secretary Jorell with teary eyes. Secretary Jorell was surprised and asked carefully. "Why are you crying? Is there
"Isn't it weird?" Chloe looked at Clarita and Veronica, sitting on either side of her with their eyebrows drawn together in seriousness. She even moved her body forward, acting like someone investigating something. "Think about it. Jeslyn went missing while looking for my brother, far from the hospital. But why is she suddenly in a deserted hallway leading to the back door? It doesn't make sense. Maybe if it were my brother and Olivia, it would still be understandable since they were admitted here in the first place. But even so, isn't it still strange? They went missing consecutively and were found consecutively as well. Even then, the discovery was completely unexpected."Unfortunately, it seemed that Clarita and Veronica's minds were not right. The long-winded remarks were just like a passing wind that went unheeded.They didn't even realize that from the moment they sat down in the hospital cafeteria, they hadn't moved an inch and were just pensive with complicated expressions, li
"What's wrong with you?" Felix asked after a moment of silence, and Veronica's crying subsided.Veronica didn't answer right away. But she slowly pulled away and looked at Felix intently. "Am I important to you?""What do you mean?" Felix did not understand."Felix, do you know how much I'm worried about you? I was worried about you and rushed over as soon as I learned about your condition. But, before I had much time for you, you disappeared. Now you're back, but have you ever thought about me? What do I mean to you? Is my presence in your life that important?" Veronica asked in rapid succession. Every time her mouth moved, her gaze didn't leave Felix's, making the man's face change slightly."Why are you suddenly asking me this?" But even so, Felix still responded flatly. There was neither warmth nor coldness. His voice was somewhere between apparent indifference.Veronica's eyes glazed over again. She quickly looked down and wiped them away. She did not know why she had suddenly be
