Chapter 3
I thought I was going to die.
But at the last moment, someone kicked open the warehouse door.
“Why? Why didn’t you call me!”
Julian rushed in like a wild beast.
In the dim light, he saw me covered in blood, my mangled wrists, and my legs where bone nearly showed through.
All sound vanished.
‘Katie, don’t die! I forbid you to die!”
His hands trembled as he picked me up, as if he actually cared whether I lived or died.
I cracked my lips into a silent laugh.
‘Katie! Katie! Please, stay alive!”
Something wet dropped onto my face.
Crocodile tears, perhaps?
[ch…
Eventually, I was still been rushed to the hospital and somehow survived.
When I opened my eyes, he was there, sleepless, his eyes bloodshot.
‘Why? Why didn’t you call me? Why didn’t you ask for my help? Why?”
He stared at me firmly, wanting an answer.
He couldn’t understand why the person who once depended on him most, trusted him most, would rather die than make that rescue call.

The phone was right beside her–hell, he was her emergency contact, the only goddamn person she
could lean on.
“Why? Why didn’t you call me?!”
Julian repeated like a madman, his voice suppressed yet breaking.
But I only found it almost amusing. Weren’t you the one who wanted me dead? Why put on this act
now? Who’s it for?
I glanced at the phone he’d brought back.
Just that slight movement of my eyes, and Julian quickly grabbed the phone for me. When it touched his hand, he finally realized something.
The dried filth dissolved in his cold sweat–soaked palm, sticky and foul–smelling.
As a man, how could he not understand what had stained the phone screen?
In that moment, he froze completely.
“They destroyed my hands,”
I forced words through my parched, bleeding throat and lips.
“They made me use my tongue…”
My throat rattled like broken bellows, the sound truly awful.
Julian swayed, as if about to collapse.
Shock, panic, utter disbelief, and finally just trembling.
Saw his reaction, I slowly stretched my cracked lips into a smile.
Julian, you’re the one behind all this, how long did you plan to hide it from me?
I closed my eyes, not wanting to look at him.
Then the doctor came to check on me.
“Broken bones can be set, but damaged tendons and ligaments are difficult to repair.”

“The patient was injured too long ago. If she’d come to the hospital immediately after being hurt, we could’ve guaranteed at least 80% function in both hands, but now…”
The doctor shook her head helplessly.
“The VIP patient upstairs is the Shred Group heiress. She was injured recently too, just a minor fracture, but the Reid Group brought in a world–class specialist team for her. They’re still in the hospital, and if they could help, I believe there’s a chance your hands could regain function. Not 100%, but enough for daily activities like eating and dressing…”
The female doctor looked at me with sympathy. “Our chief personally requested their help, but, when they heard it was you, they said you’d have to kneel before Miss Aria and beg…”
She knew how humiliating this was, but she had to say it directly–it was what Aria’s brother had explicitly asked her to convey.
Remembering the murderous look in that young man’s eyes, she still felt terrified.
Heard of that, I smiled and said, “It’s fine. I can just die.”
How pathetic that those words came from my own brother! He’d completely forgotten our mother’s
death.
Hearing what I said, the doctor’s face turned deathly pale, unable to utter another word about begging for help.
Because they knew well: when a patient angrily says they want to die, it can be dismissed as emotional outburst. But when a patient calmly–even smilingly–says they can die, they truly mean it.
Julian lost control again.
“Katie, stop being ridiculous!”
“You hurt Aria first! It’s just kneeling and apologizing… Is your pride really more important than your life?”
Hearing that, I turned to stare at him, laughing coldly. “You want me to apologize to the murderer who killed my mother?
“I’d. Rather. Die.”
Julian’s veins bulged with anger.

That typically cool, composed man–for the first time, I saw him completely lose control.
Did he want so badly to see me kneel before Aria?
Hell no, I’m not letting you bastards get your way!
I closed my eyes–no longer wishing to look at this filthy world for another second.
