    ra frowned, “Do you find this amusing, Mr. Hayes? It was you who said you were done with this,


    and now you’re the one who can’t let go. What is it about me that you can’t shake off? If there’s


    something to change, I’ll change it, okay?” Her tone was chilly and tinged with impatience.


    Ian closed his eyes in agony, his hand clutching his hair tightly to keep himself alert. “ra, that


    night must have been very painful for you, huh?” His voice was weak, and his simple words were


    fragmented. Each word wasden with unmistakable pain.


    raughed bitterly, “You don’t have to keep reminding me, Mr. Hayes. I’m tainted. I know that


    much. I won’t harbor any inappropriate thoughts toward you anymore.”


    “ra.”


    Without mercy, ra replied, “No, I can never forget the words you spoke to me that night.” She


    didn’t wait forn’s response and hung up the phone abruptly.

    Dr. Lee, seeing his painful struggle, kindly suggested, “Mr. Hayes, you can’t go on like this. Though


    you’ve lost a lot of blood, your situation isn’t the same as ra’s. You’ve been drinking. The effect


    of the medication is twice as strong. If something goes wrong, what will Rose do? My medicine can


    alleviate some of the pain. Would you like to try it?”

    and writhed in agony on the bed.


    Rose, standing outside, saw his condition, and tears streamed down her face in distress. After what


    felt like an eternity, she couldn’t bear it any longer and dialed ra’s number.


    ra had just finished dinner with Anders‘ parents and was about to head out when her phone


    rang. Seeing an unfamiliar number, she hesitated before answering.


    “ra, where are you?” a familiar voice asked as soon as she picked up.


    Hearing Rose’s voice, ra responded with a smile, “Granny Rose, I’m out for dinner. Is everything


    okay?”

    Rose’s voice cracked, “Can youe to the Lancaster Mansion? I’ve run into a bit of trouble


    here.”


    Rose had once shown her kindness, and ra saw no reason to refuse such a request.


    “I’m nearby. What floor are you on? I’lle to you.”


    “I’m in room 808 on the 8th floor. Please hurry, I’ll be waiting for you.”


    “Alright, I’m on my way.”


    After hanging up, ra excused herself from the table, and with Anders in tow, they made their way


    upstairs. Upon their arrival, they learned thatn had been drugged with an aphrodisiac.

    Her hands, hanging by her sides, gradually turned ice–cold.


    Her mind was flooded with the agony she had endured that fateful night.


    Rose wiped away her tears and pleaded, “ra, for my sake, can you saven?”

    Rose held her hand, tears streaming down her face. “I known has wronged you. He has done


    many terrible things to you, but for my sake, could you help him through this?”
