The beeping sound of the machine that was connected to Zhang Lifei's body continued as the door closed behind Lily. Then Lily's laughter echoed in her mind. Was she hearing things? She tried to shake her head and empty her mind but it was useless. She couldn't forget Lily's smile or her laughter before she walked away.
It was neither a happy laughter nor a victorious laughter. Lily's laughter was different, it was sinister, as if telling her that whatever she had gone through was not enough and there was more coming for her.
And for the first time, Zhang Yifei felt scared. For the first time… she felt scared of being alive. She was scared to live.
Zhang Yifei felt her eyes watering while she tried to swallow her saliva with much difficulty. Then Qin Chuan's words echoed in her mind: I will take care of her… Zhang Yifei knew better than to take his words at face value. She knew that this 'taking care' could only mean one thing and that was to make her suffer even more.
