“I have a flight tomorrow, so I won’t be going.”


    I turned back to look at Alexander onest time. I didn’t know how much of his memory had returned.


    His eyes wereplex, like a tangled, blurry fog.


    But I no longer had the energy to decipher it.


    Late at night, the excessive pain kept me tossing and turning. I had to lean against the wall to get up. Only half a bottle of painkillers remained on the offee table. Fortunately, I had a morning flight tomorrow and would be admitted to the hospital immediately uponnding.

    I need to take my medication.”


    lexander looked at me suspiciously.


    You better not be lying to me.”

    “Young Master Whitmore, we’ve searched the entire house. There’s definitely no trace of madam.”


    “And the surveince shows Miss Carter indeed never left the house.”


    I was sweating coldly from pain, looking weakly at Alexander:


    “Now can you believe me?”


    “Move aside, you’re blocking me from getting my medication.”


    Alexander looked at my bloodless face, and whether from guilt or sympathy, he bent down to help me get the medicine.


    But the next second, my phone suddenly rang.


    It was an unknown number.


    Alexander immediately snatched my phone and answered it. A rough male voice came through.


    Miss Carter, we have Sophie in our hands.”


    How you want us to torture her is up to you. We guarantee she won’t be able to get married tomorrow!”


    Meet us at the usual ce!”


    My eyes widened as I exined in disbelief.

    With that, Alexander poured all the painkillers onto the floor in front of me, then crushed them bit by bit under his foot.


    reached out to save them, and even my hand was trampled bloody by Alexander.


    ‘Alexander Whitmore, I really didn’t hurt anyone!”


    ‘I never even saw Sophie!”


    But no matter what I said, Alexander wouldn’t believe me.


    He even crouched down, watching my agonized face with interest.


    “Still making excuses.”


    “Victoria Carter, it’s not enough for you to wait for death alone-you want to drag Sophie down with you! How despicable!”

    “If you don’t talk, just wait to die from the pain!”


    I smiled bitterly, as if relieved or resigned to fate.


    ‘I really didn’t…”


    Forget it. You’re not my Alex. You won’t believe me.”


    My throat turned sweet, and uncontrolled blood sprayed onto Alexander’s chest, staining arge patch of warm red.


    ust as Alexander stood stunned, a bodyguard rushed to report.
