Emmanuel quickly persuaded, “Mackenzie, don’t push yourself too hard! I know want to save your
family, but you have to protect our baby too!”
Mackenzie smiled and nodded. “Okay, I’ll be mindful.” At that, she handed the handkerchief to Beatrix
and sat down on the side.
After a while, her gaze finally fell on Ellie in the corner. Ellie, seeing her gaze, quickly flinched.
Nheless, Mackenzie approached her.
“S-Stay back!” Ellie’s frail body trembled even more violently.

“It’s okay. I won’t hurt you.” Mackenzie abandoned all her previous coldness and exude an unparalleled
warmth. Still, Ellie continued to tremble.
She was afraid. No, she didn’t worry Mackenzie would harm her, but that Mackenzie would destroy her
current beliefs. She was seeking revenge for Yosef. Emmanuel had killed the woman he loved. The
Quillens did everything to throw him into prison.
Emmanuel and the Quillens were demons and hellholes in her heart.
However, Mackenzie was brilliant. While others were still baffled, the moment she saw Ellie, she had
already made various guesses. Seeing Ellie remain silent, Mackenzie took the initiative and asked,
“Are the injuries caused by Abellyn all healed?”
“What… I don’t know what you’re talking about! And I don’t need your feigned kindness!”
Ellie continued pretending, but Mackenzie didn’t get upset. She continued patiently,
“You’re Ellie, Yosef’s good friend, right?”
“I…” Exposed, Ellie trembled, realizing she couldn’t pretend anymore.
“You’re not a worker at Hadley factory, so why are you here in this ward?” Mackenzie continued to ask.
“I’m not a worker there, but I live nearby!” Ellie had obviously prepared her excuse long ago and said in
one breath. “It’s thanks to the radiation leakage from your family’s factory that we’re in this state!”
Mackenzie knew she was lying but didn’t expose her. Instead, she smiled and said, “I’m sorry. How
about we treat you andpensate you now?”
Ellie was stunned, staring wide-eyed at the beautifuldy before her. Actually, from the moment
Mackenzie entered, she found it hard to associate her with demons. Seeing
Mackenzie’s gentle and kind side, her firm beliefs began to waver. That was why she was so afraid to
talk to Mackenzie. She was afraid she couldn’t help Yosef get his revenge.
“What kind of person is Yosef really?” Mackenzie suddenly asked, not waiting for Ellie’s answer but
continuing with a smile, “I saw him at Hero’s Vigest year. At that time, I thought he had quite a
ssic and handsome charm. A man like that surely couldn’t have been malicious, right?”
“I…” Ellie’s lips trembled, wanting to respond.
“I believe he didn’t mean to kill Ryder. He must have felt terrible about it, too, right?”
“I…” Ellie finally couldn’t resist speaking, gritting her teeth lightly. “So why would you still give him a
hard time? Does it please you to see him in jail?”
Mackenzie smiled. “Yosef is an adult, right? Whatever he does, he must take responsibility for it.
Whether it was a mistake or for other reasons, the matter needs to be rified. You can’t just avoid
responsibility-are you a coward who likes to run away?”
“I…” Ellie didn’t know how to respond and lowered her head slightly.
“I heard from Emmanuel that Yosef has a kind heart and often helps people. Since you like him so
much, he must have helped you too, right?” Mackenzie continued to chat with the girl, not only trying to
open her up but also to understand the truth of the matter thoroughly.
“Mm-hmm.” Ellie nodded.
Unconsciously, Mackenzie had begun to lower Ellie’s defenses. With a huge gap in knowledge and
social status between them-one being a group CEO and the other just an ordinary girl who had recently
entered university-as long as they couldmunicate, it was only a matter of time before Mackenzie
shook Ellie’s beliefs.
“So, you’re here to seek revenge for him, to deal with us, even if it means sacrificing yourself, hmm?”
