A long, thin sound seed like sothing was probing into the keyhole.
Luna Lancaster was startled by the sound; she had just escaped from death herself, having frad so many people, she was terrified of soone seeking revenge. So when the nurse left, she deliberately asked the nurse to lock the door from the inside, unless she crawled out of bed with her injured leg to open it, it couldn’t be unlocked from the outside.
"Who is it?" Luna instinctively called out.
At that mont, the person outside managed to unlock the door and enter.
"It’s , don’t be afraid."
The person entering wore a black mask, with heavy bangs covering the forehead, only a pair of eyes visible.
"Sis?" Luna recognized Sheryl Lancaster’s voice. "What happened to you?"
"My face was burnt," Sheryl walked over. "Dear sister, I know you fell from the upstairs because of , and I was scared to death."
Recalling the scene from that day, Luna felt a chill; she had truly brushed with the underworld, almost not coming back.
But what if Sheryl’s appearance at this mont was discovered?
Then, the lies they told would be exposed.
"Sis, I’m not dead, I’m fine now. You should go back quickly, don’t stay here. If we’re discovered, we’re done for."
"Alright, Luna, take good care of yourself here. Once that woman is dealt with, I’ll take you ho."
"Okay, sis, just go," Luna urged.
Sheryl took sothing out of her pocket; it was a box containing bird’s nest soup for recovery. "Luna, I just made this tonight; it’s all because of you’re like this. Let watch you drink so before I leave."
Luna just wanted Sheryl to leave quickly, so she didn’t think too much. She took the spoon from Sheryl’s hand to drink, but in her peripheral vision, she noticed Sheryl’s hand kept trembling.
"Sheryl." The man who ca in with her tugged at Sheryl’s clothes, seemingly wanting to dissuade her, but Sheryl gave him a fierce glare, signaling him to shut up.
This was all seen clearly by Luna, and the spoon at her lips was placed back down, eyes wary. "Sis, why are your hands shaking?"
"I, I felt a bit cold."
"Did you add sothing to this soup?" Luna, familiar with The Lancaster Family’s cunning, had started feeling uneasy.
"No, no, just drink it," Sheryl stepped forward, intending to push the bowl of soup to Luna’s lips.
"Ah, help, help!" Luna suddenly shouted, knocking over the soup in Sheryl’s hand and shrinking towards a corner of the bed.
"Run," the man pulled Sheryl to flee.
The nurse, hearing the cries for help, rushed in hurriedly. "What happened? Why is the ward door open?"
Luna exhaled sharply. "Soone...soone broke in."
The nurse saw the spilled supplent on the floor. "Soone broke in to bring you a supplent?"
"Yes."
"Check if there’s sothing else in it."
"Alright."
Luna, after being comforted by the nurse, had just cald down but was terrified again in a second.
"We just tested what was on the floor. It contains deadly ingredients. Fortunately, she didn’t drink it. Drinking more could, at the least, poison the throat, or at the worst, could be fatal."
