There was an aromatherapy stone on the basin. Johanna took it and smashed it onto the mirror forcefully. The mirror broke into pieces from the force, and shards of glasses fell to the ground noisily.

Picking up a shard of glass, she slit it across her wrist.

Pain flared up her wrist and spread to her entire body. She trembled all over as blood splattered everywhere.

Her body swayed and she ended up collapsing to the ground.

She stared at the blood flowing out of her wrist as her vision blurred. Slowly, she calmed down and felt like she was about to be freed from this torturous nightmare.

Soon, Asel's sobbing face emerged in her blurry line of sight, crying for her mother.

Timothy was doing his best to calm the girl down to no avail. “Asel, be a good girl. Mommy will be back in a few days. Stop crying, all right?”

I cannot die. Asel is still so young, and she's waiting for my return. Timothy might also be searching for me frantically, so I cannot die.

Johanna wanted to return to her daughter so badly that her survival instincts kicked in. She held onto the basin and got to her feet. Grabbing a towel, she wrapped it around her wound tightly.

Right then, a housekeeper, who showed up in the bedroom to see if Johanna was up, came to the bathroom when she found the bedroom empty.

The housekeeper was shocked to see the mess in the bathroom. Instead of losing her cool, she pressed the service bell on the wall so others could come and clean the mess up.

“I broke the mirror accidentally and hurt my wrist,” Johanna explained calmly in fluent Ustranasion.

The housekeepers Zephyr hired were brilliant. They could speak their native language as well as Ustranasion, so the housekeeper knew what Johanna meant.

She helped Johanna out of the bathroom.

Soon, around five housekeepers hurried into the bedroom. A few went to clean up the mess in the bathroom while one came to Johanna with an emergency kit in her hand.

The housekeeper removed the towel around Johanna's wound.

Fortunately, Johanna was weak and the cut wasn't deep. The bleeding had stopped, so the housekeeper disinfected the wound and applied some medicine on it.

Johanna asked, “What is your master's name?”

The housekeeper who was dressing her wound said nothing.

The first housekeeper who came in earlier parted her lips and said, “Ms. Joule, I'm Anne, the staff manager of the castle. I'll be in charge of your meals from today onward. You haven't eaten for days. What would you like for dinner?”

From today onward? Looks like the beast is planning to keep me imprisoned here.

Johanna asked, “Where is he? Will he be back for dinner?”

“Mr. Zephyr went out to get something done. We don't know when he'll be back,” Anne responded. “Mr. Zephyr said you can let us know whatever you need.”
