However, when she turns around and sees the man look frustrated, Lily suddenly doesn’t want to
explain anything. She should let him taste this. This is the retribution of his non-stop speaking some
time ago.
Karl sees her acquiesce and then he says even more vigorously, “Don’t talk about what you are doing
at home. In the hospital, especially in my hospital, I can’t watch you bully her.”
Rex can endure anything else, but he cannot endure that Karl shows his highness in front of his wife.
He has long since discovered that Lily has an inexplicable sense of obedience and admiration towards
Karl, and now he knows where they come from.
They come from Karl’s shameless boasting.
“Did you see me bullying her?” The man raises his eyebrows with disdain and contempt in his eyes.
“Isn’t that I catch you bullying her in action?”
Rex does not refute. Instead, he follows Karl’s words and says, “Yes, I bullied her. But she has admitted
it and was speaking for me just now, right?”
Hearing this, Lily says before Karl can speak anything, “Rex, don’t be too much!”
As Karl is speaking for her, she definitely can’t make him feel such awkward and embarrassed.
“You can act like this relying on Lily’s kindness treating you so well now. But you will know what the
result is when you get recovered!” Karl doesn’t want to scold him anymore. Anyway, he is sick now. He
should follow him. The most important thing is his recovery.
After instructing Lily about the dosage, Karl hands Lily the VIP card of the canteen in the hospital. “His
food must be light these few days. And the food outside may not work. The VIP card means there is
one cooker for only one person. And the food is all made by a nutritionist. You can just take with you
this food card to get the meal,” Karl says.
Lily takes it and says, “Thank you, Brother Karl.”
“Nothing.” Karl turns around and walks out. Before he leaves, he does not forget to give Lily a wink. “If
he is going somewhat mad, just ignore him and tell me.”
The door is opened and then closed, leaving only two people in the room looking at each other again.
Four eyes meet. Two gazes meet in the quiet air. For some reason, Lily feels a burst of amusement.
She unconsciously moves her gaze away, and the corners of her mouth curl up as she endures the
amusement.
The man who looks at her is also the same, his thin lips curling into a smile of delight.
…
On the other side, unlike the atmosphere in the hospital, Vivian has been locked up in the basement for
the fourth day. She does not know what time it is now, nor does she know whether it is day or night
outside. There is no light in the entire room, and her line of sight is all pitch black.
She is captured by Pehry’s men. After Adair and Rex are rescued and she is in his hands, it is as if she
has been sentenced to death. Pehry would teach her its consequence in his own way.
He has inflicted on her what she has done to Rex and even has increased the dosage, letting the
addictive gas drift into her nose, then her lungs along the trachea, and finally throughout her body.
At first, she is painful, but slowly, she starts having illusions. She could see Rex in the darkness and
could see him hugging her. She smiles, filled with joy. But just when she feels that happiness was
about to descend on her, everything instantly returns to reality, plunging her back into the abyss.
She is addicted to the drugs, and Pehry does not give her a continuous inhalation of that gas. Instead,
he mercilessly locks her up in the basement after she becomes addicted.
At this moment, Vivian feels as if there are 10,000 ants crawling in her body. Countless ants with tiny
black feet walk through the walls of her blood vessels, through her head, and through her bones …
She starts to feel cold and drool. She doesn’t care what kind of image she is now. She curls up in a
corner and hugs her own body with both hands. She thinks that this will relieve the pain. However, time
slowly passes, and it doesn’t help at all.
Pain, boundless pain…
Before, Vivian thinks that even if she doesn’t get any benefits, Rex should live with this addiction, but
she has never expected that she herself would experience this today.
Gradually, her body begins to get out of control. She cannot withstand the torment, and her hands are
trembling. Even so, she still tries her best to climb to the door and keeps hammering the door.
“Anybody, come …”
Her consciousness is gone, and her body seems to be pulled by something. However, there is clearly
nothing. It is just an illusion.
The pain and itchiness disappear. She wants to vomit, yet nothing but saliva comes out.
Vivian begins to use her head instead of her hands to slam heavily against the door panel, producing a
dull thud that echoed in the basement, making it seem exceptionally terrifying there.
She feels something pressing down on her chest, and her breathing becomes rapid.
Her eyes are scarlet and her body twists. Even her forehead is hit with a dark red blood clot. Her skull
seems to be about to crack, but she can’t stop at all. She is knocking on the door like she is crazy …
Half a minute passes, but to her, it seems like it’s half a year.
Just as she is about to suffocate, the door in front of her is finally opened.
The light shines into her eyes. She is accustomed to the pain of the darkness so her eyes seem to be
stabbed by the light. Vivian closes her eyes again and cannot see what’s happening. She only hears an
evil and charming voice, “Give her an injection.”
Immediately, her arm is pricked by something. A cold liquid is poured into her blood, and with it her
body gradually calms down.
She lies on the ground powerlessly, like a dog that has escaped death, breathing heavily.
She sees a man in spotless black leather shoes enter the room and walk straight to her. After a while,
she adapts to the light and raises her head with great difficulty and sees the face of the man who
leaves countless pains on her.
Vivian grabs the man’s ankle and says, “Give me, give me the drug …”
Pehry hears her hoarse voice and feels her force on his feet. He immediately feels disgusted and kicks
her away, “To give you the drug?”
Vivian nods, but is laughed at by him, “Why?”
“It is you who drugged me and made me addicted. Why don’t you give the drug to me now?”
“Because I want to torture you.” Pehry doesn’t conceal his intentions at all. “If I make you happy, I’m not
feeling well.”
When he thinks of what this woman has done to Rex, he, as Rex’s brother, wishes he can kill her.
Vivian only feels this handsome and soft face is simply a devil’s one. She glares at him resentfully,
“Pehry, you don’t dare to kill me. When I get out, I will explain everything to the police. You abuse
lynching! I won’t let you live a good life!”
“It’s okay.” Pehry raises his eyebrows and slightly spreads out his hands. He is not afraid at all. He
slowly squats down and finds there is a wrinkle on his expensive leather shoes. He does not touch her
because she is dirty. “Well, I wonder what kind of scene it’ll be when your parents see how you are
now.”
“What do you want to do?” Hearing him mention her parents, Vivian becomes sensitive and
emotional.
