Sarah stood in silence, her gaze fixated on the woman lying on the bed. Snippets of conversations she had overheard made it
clear that the basement they were in was nothing short of formidable.
The construction crew had toiled for a month, but they still couldn''t crack the switch to this ce.
A mocking smile flickered across Sarah''s lips. It seemed Summer had truly expended a lot of energy and resources to craft this
cage.
So, Cynthia had spent her days here until the slow-acting poison was about to take effect? To struggle in this confined space,
and to endure the presence of someone like Summer.
For a moment, Sarah couldn''t decide who had it worse - herself or Cynthia. Moreover, she couldn''t even ascertain which of them
really was Cynthia.
Human experimentation at the research base was a breach of moral ethics. People like her, who were subjected to experiments
against their will, struggled to find any meaning in their very existence.
She watched Maja holding Cynthia''s hand, weeping silently. That tear seemed to pierce through Sarah''s heart without making a
sound.
But she couldn''t say anything, let alone reveal her true identity. Because even now, she wasn’t sure who she really was.
Maja was being led out of the basement, guided toward the outside world. The sky above was a clear blue. Ever since the city
walls had been demolished by a bomb, one could stand here and see the vast sea stretching into the horizon.
Behind them, the construction crew was preparing to blow up the ce, to bury it forever.
The fire spread quickly, with thick smoke billowing into the air. Maja stood at a distance, watching, but the scene before her
seemed to split into a crevice, and then her world turned ck.
She had fainted. When she came to, she was in the Sanders family residence. Gazing up at the familiar ceiling, she curled her
hand slightly, hearing Beck still on the phone.
“What do you mean you''ve searched everywhere? How couldn''t you find him? | get it, an 8.1 magnitude earthquake, but what
are you suggesting? Thatn could have been swallowed up by a fissure in the ground? Alive and not seen, dead without a
trace, is that it? | don''t care, keep looking there; if not a month, then two, or even a year.”
Hearing his voice, Maja felt a pang in her head. She reached out a hand, attempting to call out, but her throat was hoarse.
Beck saw her hand by the bed and quickly hung up the phone.
“Maja, that was a call from back home. Bernard and his team have taken the documents and returned. Windhelm’s higher-ups
have called off the manhunt forn and have even awarded him. Once we findn, you two can return in glory. Oh, and your
phone has been ringing non-stop. Zoey and Carol both called to check on you. | told them you needed rest, and they hung up.”
He didn''t try to hide the news aboutn. Maja was too smart; hiding it would only make her worry more.
He moved closer, sitting by the bedside, “Don’t worry. The earthquake affected a wide area. It''s normal not to have found anyone
yet. As soon as there''s news, I''ll let you know. You just focus on getting better. | hate to sound harsh, but sometimes no news is
good news.”
Maja lowered her eyes, tugging at her neck where it throbbed slightly.
“Beck, | know; I''m okay. What about Dn and Walter?”
To this day, she refused to take Dn as her brother.
“Dn''s recovering quickly thanks to
Doctor''s medicine. That girl ham

She looked down and gently touched her belly. Maybe once the baby was born, she would finally be able to let go of this knot in
her heart.
“Maja, just take care of yourself and wait for the news.”
“Okay.”
Withn still missing, she had no desire to do anything else. Her days were spent admiring the flowers in the garden, oblivious to
the events unfolding in Greenfield.
