Chapter 274 Growing Fond Of You

For her, a day of waiting felt longer than a day spent in prison.

She couldn’t wait to leave.

Late at night, the clock struck eleven.

The mental hospital was completely deserted, yet the corridor lights remained on. The silent hallway was bathed in a green light, leading to pitch blackness, like an abyss without a bottom. From the icy cold. bathroom, the faint sound of water dripping from the faucet could be heard.

It seemed eerily strange no matter how one looked at it.

The door to the ward swung open, and Nancy saw a dark figure silently passing by. On the ground, a car key and a sharp dagger were dropped.

It was a mystery how the person moved around the hospital so effortlessly.

Nancy’s feelings of hatred had consumed her mind, so she couldn’t be bothered to worry about that.

Instead of leaving in a hurry after picking up the items, she simply sat quietly on the bed, as if waiting for something.

At midnight, the door swung open once again, and Ronald made no attempt to hide his eagerness this

time.

He strode over to the person on the bed and, without hesitation, pulled her into his arms. “Have you taken a bath? You smell so good.”

In the next moment, Ronald was caught off guard. He didn’t even have a chance to catch his breath as a dagger plunged directly into his chest.

Nancy suddenly let out a mocking laugh, her eyes filled with ruthless malice. “What’s the matter? Why aren’t you talking anymore?” she asked while plunging the dagger even deeper into his chest. When she pulled it out, the tip of the dagger was dripping with blood. Her face, twisted in a strange smile, resembled a monster thirsty for blood.

As the dagger was pulled from Ronald’s chest, a surge of blood gushed out, splattering onto her face. A crimson hue filled her vision, a sight that seemed all too familiar to her. It was as if this wasn’t the first time she had experienced such a thing.

With a swift push, Nancy shoved him away. Ronald, with wide-open eyes, fell to the ground, breathless.

Nancy left the mental hospital unimpeded, and a car was already waiting for her outside the gate.
