Chapter 1568


    Lena smiled and nced at the door from the corner of her eye. Zachary had left it ajar when he


    entered, either overly confident in his skills or underestimating her due to her young age.


    “Eat quickly,” Zachary said, eyeing her. “Once you finish, I’ll need to send you away.”


    “Mm, I understand.”


    “Aren’t you scared?”


    “Why should I be?” Lena replied with a faint smile. “The one who should be afraid… is you.”


    Zachary met her gaze, feeling the sharpness in her eyes like a dagger to his heart. Memories of Krystal


    flooded back, the promise he had made to her, and now he was about to harm her daughter with his


    own hands…

    Lena was right. The one who should be afraid was him.


    Restless and sleep-deprived from the previous night’s turmoil, Zachary felt lightheaded and dizzy. His


    breathing grew rapid, and he sensed suffocation creeping in.


    Instinctively, he reached for his pocket and realized he had left his inhaler behind.


    Clutching his chest in the midst of an asthma attack, Zachary gasped for air like a fish out of water.


    “Quick… quick…”


    He tremblingly pointed toward Lena, seeking her assistance.


    Lena hesitated, unsure of what was happening. Her initial reaction was that this man was lying again.


    Suddenly, she stood up and knocked over the meal tray, causing Zachary to fall to the ground in agony.


    Lena nced at his pale face and the door that hadn’t been properly closed. This was her best chance


    to escape.


    “Medicine…” Zachary struggled to say, “My medicine…


    “Lena… please…”


    Lena bit her lip.


    “Help me… Lena, save me!”


    After a brief moment of hesitation, Lena rushed to check the door. The vi was eerily quiet as if no one


    else were present.


    “Sasha is gone.” Zachary panted, “No… No one else… Lena, I’m in pain… My medicine, it’s in the


    living room drawer. You…”


    Lena dashed out but took a long time to return.


    Just as Zachary thought he might die in that room, he suddenly felt someone lift the back of his head


    and administer the inhaler.


    Gradually, his breathing eased, and he regainedposure. He looked up at Lena and managed a


    weak smile.


    “Thank you…”


    Lena handed him the inhaler back.


    Zachary struggled to get up. “Lena, let’s go. I’ll take you away.”


    Since she had rescued him from a life-threatening situation, he felt obligated to repay her as per the


    underworld’s rules.


    Zachary led Lena outside, and only then did she take a closer look at the vi.


    Photos of Sasha adorned the living room. Lena walked over and gazed at the person in the pictures as


    if she were staring into a mirror.


    “She’s your twin sister,” Zachary murmured in a low voice.


    “Heh, I never thought there was another me in this world,” Lena mused, a mix of wonder and chills


    running down her spine. “I also never thought this other me would want to kill me.”
