Chapter 5 

Alexander almost collapsed, barely supported by the people around him. 

As he stared at the pool of blood spreading beneath me, a sharp buzzing filled his ears, and the whole world 

seemed to lose its sound. 

When he finally came to his senses, he stumbled and crawled toward me, his trembling hands unable to stay 

still. 

“Eleanor, stop joking around. Get up.” 

His voice trembled with a panic he had never shown before. “Eleanor, please don’t scare me.” 

He reached out, but before his fingers touched me, he pulled back again, not daring to lay a hand on me. 

Alexander couldn’t understand. 

It was supposed to be only hypnosis and brainwashing-how could I possibly choose to end my own life? 

Hadn’t it worked perfectly fine hundreds of times before? 

Why did it go wrong this time…? 

He trembled as he tried to feel for my breath. 

When he sensed the faintest trace of life, tears nearly burst from his eyes. 

“Call the best medical team! Right now! Immediately!” he roared at the top of his lungs. 

Only after I was lifted into the ambulance, my body covered in tubes and wires, did his heart ease slightly. 

He waited outside the operating room for an entire day and night, not moving a single step. 

When Sabrina called, he looked at her flashing name on the screen but, for the first time, didn’t answer right

The doctor walked out holding a report, and with every sentence he spoke, the color drained further from 

Alexander’s face. 

“We found an unidentified toxin in the patient’s system-it’s been torturing her for at least half a year.” 

“Severe tearing was found in the lower body, with multiple DNA samples detected. The wounds were caused by repeated acts of violence, suggesting she suffered inhumane abuse.” 

“There’s also a deep penetrating wound in the abdomen, now infected and festering. The injury occurred within the last three days.” 

“And not long ago, there was a violent miscarriage that severely damaged the uterus.” 

“Genetic testing shows the baby was yours-about three months along.” 

Alexander froze completely, the chill spreading from his heart to his entire body. 

The air turned to stone.
