Dreams haunted Mnie in her sleep, and she would wake up suddenly.


    She leaned against the headrest of the bed with sweat on her forehead.


    Reaching out, she turned on the bedside night light, brightening the ward.


    Mnie had initially wanted to get up to read, but the thought of the book being inside the cab


    made her abandon the idea.


    She squinted slightly, nced at her phone, and noticed it was just past midnight.


    The hospital ward was particrly quiet at night, making the footsteps outside the door noticeable.


    She thought it was just a nurse passing by and did not pay much attention.


    Half an hourter, the footsteps still lingered at the door. Eugene was standing against the wall, tilting


    his head and resting it against the wall.


    The corridor was quiet, with only the bright light from the nurses’ station in the distance.


    He stood in the dark, with his eyshes drooped. He was lost in thought.


    Suddenly, a faint sound and footsteps approached. His fingertips moved slightly, and he


    subconsciously lowered his gaze toward the direction of the ward door. However, the door remained


    tightly closed.


    “Sir.” A light call sounded. The night shift nurse lowered her voice and asked him, “Are you still awake


    at this hour because you feel unwell?This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Eugene looked at her,tand the nurse exined, “If you feel unwell, I can take you to the doctor. You


    can return to your ward and rest because wandering around like this might disturb other patients‘


    sleep.”


    Eugene’s Adam’s apple rolled, and he looked toward the direction of the ward door again.


    The room, which was lit just moments ago, waspletely dark.


    He lowered his head. “Sorry.”


    After saying that, he turned and left.


    He wore a long ck windbreaker, and although the corridor lights were not bright, he could still see his


    elongated shadow in the darkness.


    The nurse looked at his back, feeling a kind of indescribable mncholy.


    In the ward, Mniey on the bed. Her night blindness stopped her from seeing anything in this dimly

    Everything around her was quiet, so quiet that she subconsciously breathed lightly,

    The police came twice, and Mnie cooperated and provided her evidence.


    Thest time the police came, they brought Ste with them.


    The bandages on Mnie’s hands and head had been removed, but the scars left behind still looked


    frightening.


    Ste, who originally had a condescending expression, hesitated for a moment when she saw the


    wounds on Mnie’s face.


    But it was only for a moment.


    After a brief pause, she looked meaningfully at Mnie’s belly. “Let’s get straight to the point. I came to


    talk to you to settle this privately. Name your price.”


    Mnie, about to be discharged in two days, was enraged when she heard Ste’s words. She


    immediately wanted to retort but was held back by Yvonne, who was there to apany her.


    Mnie looked at Ste calmly and said, “I won’t ept a private settlement.”


    Ste squinted her eyes. “What do you want, then?”


    Mnie’s face was pale, and her once clear and pure eyes showed a hint of sadness.


    She looked at Ste and emphasized each word, “I want those who killed my child to receive the


    punishment they deserve.”


    Her words were clear, and whoever had just entered the room heard them.


    Mnie muttered, “I will never forgive any of you.“,
