Chapter 989


    Toward the end of the long corridor was a technological-looking door. Franky unlocked the door with


    the retina scan. This was my first time seeing a scene like this that would only appear in movies. I


    could not help but feel astonished. These people made ill-gotten gains and did not stint on keeping


    their secrets hidden.


    Inside the door was another long corridor with mirrors on both sides of the wall, giving others a


    sense of ustrophobia.


    I followed behind Franky, and after making a few twists and turns, we entered a room that


    resembled an operating theater. It was a very spacious room, estimated to amodate several


    hundred people. There were a lot of surgical beds in it, and each surgical bed was surrounded by


    many medical equipments.


    I nced at two women lying on two of the surgical beds, then looked at Franky with a puzzled


    gaze." What is this ce?"


    Franky made no reply and continued leading me forward.


    As we went farther in, the lights grew dimmer. When we finally entered a cramped room, my eyes


    widened i


    n terror.


    A woman was lying on an operating table in front of m e. A man was standing in front of the table,


    operating o n her. This man was not wearing a white coat, nor was he wearing a surgical mask and


    gloves. He looked nothing like a doctor.


    I asked in a trembling voice, "What surgery is she having?"


    Franky faintly replied, "They don''t need pregnant women."


    My heart shivered. The smell of blood in the air almost made me throw up.


    There was the sound of a cart behind me, and Franky yanked me to the side.


    A man pushed a cart past me. I nced at the woman lying on the cart and realized that it was the


    woman who brought me food every day.


    I looked at Franky and asked in a quivering voice, "Is she getting surgery too?”


    Franky replied in an irritated tone, "Mr. Mn dislikes people who aren''t punctual. When she brought


    you downstairs, she was ten minuteste from the time he set for her, so Mr. Mn decided to send


    her over as a bonus. That''s already considered a punishment for her."


    This woman had to receive such a cruel punishment because she did not take me downstairs within


    the

    timeframe he set for her?


    I cast my mind back to how she had rushed me to go downstairs and the resentful look she gave


    me when she left. There was instantly a stuffy feeling in my chest.


    I was clearly the one who broke the rules, but she was the one receiving the punishment instead. It


    was only natural that she would resent me.


    I looked at Franky and asked in a hoarse voice, "Will she die?"


    Franky faintly smiled. "It depends on whether the other party wants her dead or not. But you should


    know that the people in this country aren''t that friendly toward women, so even if she lives, she


    won’t get to livefortably either."


    As soon as he said those words, my head started ringing. I remembered Shannon and the rest who


    were brought in here as well. I quickly asked, "Will mypanions receive the same treatment?"


    Franky raised his eyebrows. The answer was pretty obvious.


    All of a sudden, I did not have the courage to ask any more questions. I became a little


    disconcerted. Later, I continued to follow Franky, not wanting to look ahead no matter what was in


    front of me.


    I knew better than anyone what being unable to conceive meant to a woman.


    Mn told Franky to bring me here to see these things just so I would know how cruel this ce was


    and to show me that this was not a ce where I could behave recklessly.


    If I made him angry, then I would face a terrible end too.


    I looked at Franky and asked him, "How are they now?"


    I did not have the courage to ask directly if they had been put on the operating table, so I could only


    ask how they were doing now.
