Every word pierced through Linus’ heart.

He’s right. It will be on me too!

Because he wanted to kill someone he did not like without leaving a trace, he gave Quinton money to experiment on those drugs.

I’m an accomplice.

Falling into a deep silence, he turned around and left with haste.

“Don’t even think about leaving any time soon—not until I find a cure for Michael.”

Linus went back up the elevator. Once the doors shut, Quinton returned to a calm state and continued to sit there in a daze.

It was late in the night. Ever since Quinton showed up, aside from Carmen and Celine, no one else could really sleep.

Sophia went to bed with Carmen in her arms. Carmen thought that she had only gone out to play with Quinton today, but Sophia looked like she had been to hell. She was traumatized by the event and had nightmares all night long.

In her nightmare, she was sobbing in agony after someone took Carmen away, and Michael left her. When she woke up, she still felt unbearable pain in her chest.

 

Meanwhile, Carmen was sleeping soundly next to her and even kicking her legs.

Suddenly, Sophia noticed that Michael was not there. His side of the bed had gone cold.

Rubbing her eyes while sitting up in bed, she looked around and found him sitting on the sealed-off balcony.

It was currently 2 AM.

Very discreetly, she slipped out of bed and walked over to the balcony where Michael was drinking some wolfberry water.

When he saw that she had woken up, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

She buried herself in his embrace and hid her face in his chest. “I had a nightmare.”
