Jack peered through the glass at Mandy, her face still pale, with a whirlpool of
mixed emotions in his eyes.
It was the first time he realized how dangerous Mandy’s previous life had
been.
If she could get hurt this badly in Zyphoria, how many life-threatening
situations had Mandy faced over the past years?
Jack felt a tight knot in his heart.
He thought the crisis was over, but to his shock, Mandy’s condition drastically
worsened in the middle of the night. She not only spiked a fever but also
slipped into shock multiple times.
Doctors and nurses rushed into the room with medical equipment, swiftly
