Lanswered, “Dr. Normang”
“Yeah,” Chris replied with a smile, “I’m off work. Are you doing okay?”
“Pretty good,” I responded, Glancing at my watch, I noticed it was already siz
in the evening, so I asked, “How have you been working until now?”
“What’s the matter?” He sounded like he was outdoors, with the sound of
whistling wind coming through the receiver,
“You were at work yesterday morning, then again in the evening, and now
you’ve just finished work,” I explained. “Are you really that Liam?”
“I was actually supposed to have last night off, but I switched shifts,” Chris
explained with a smilo. “I can finally get some rost tonight.”

“I see,” I replied.
Chris chuckled softly. “Is that all?”
“What do you mean?”

“It seems a bit cold–hearted,” he said, though his tone remained gentle. “Don’t
you even want to know why I changed shifts?”
My heart skipped a beat, and I asked, “Was it… because of me?”
“What if I said yes?”
“In that case…” Although he had mentioned taking care of me because of his
sister, it still felt awkward. “Then how can I make it up to you? Can I pay you
triple?”
He was silent.
“Hello?” I grew nervous. “Are you mad? I’m sorry, I’m not good with words,

what’s wrong?”
Why did the receiver keep making a weird sound?
After a while, Chris finally spoke up, saying, “Sorry,” with a deep smile in his
voice. “You’re just so cute.”
He was laughing at me…

“Are you mad?” Chris’s tone softened. “I wasn’t mocking you. I genuinely found
it adorable.”
“I’m not mad.”
“I can tell that you’re angry,” Chris replied, the amusement leaving his voice.
“I’m not joking. In fact, a guest came to the emergency department just
before my shift. You know, there aren’t many experts at Saint Jude Hospital.
The dean asked me to attend to him, so I switched shifts.”
Saint Jude Hospital was not far from the cemetery and was located on the

outskirts, so the medical equipment there was limited.
“Oh, I see…”
Chris burst into laughter again. “Don’t you want to ask what brought the guest
to the emergency department? What if it’s related to you?”
“I won’t repeat the same mistake twice,” I said.
Chris chuckled once more. “Alright then.” After a pause, he continued,
“Although it’s getting dark, I still want to see you. Is that alright? I want to
check if you’ve eaten well and do some examination on you.”
“Is that really necessary?”
“Yes, even though…” He suddenly changed the subject. “But you need to
understand that there have been cases of patients with cancer healing on
their own, as long as you’ve been taken care of properly.”
Although he talked about cancer, his gentle and warm demeanor made it

feel less heavy. I smiled and said, “Your words aren’t very scientific.”

“Science is theology,” Chris laughed. “I promise, I’ll leave before eight o’clock,
okay?”
Finally, I agreed to Chris’s request, not because I believed in cancer healing
by itself, but because I felt like I was already living in his world, and there was
no need to keep refusing.
After hanging up the phone, I cleaned the house. My body was weak and
even this small task left me trembling with exhaustion, my clothes were
soaked in sweat.
After lying on the sofa for a while, the extreme fatigue gradually subsided.
Just as I was thinking of taking a shower, I heard a knock on the door.
Since outsiders had to ring the doorbell downstairs first, the person standing
in front of my door could only be Chris. I did not suspect him, so I opened the
door and said, “You came…”

But before I could finish my sentence, I froze.

Jaiden was standing at the door. He was dressed in all black. He wore a black
coat, black trousers, and a black shirt. He was emotionless as if he was the
Grim Reaper.
I was completely stunned, and all the blood in my body seemed to flow
backward.
How did he find me?
Who told him? Anna?
This was Chris‘ house. He must have…
My thoughts were scattered as Liam said, “Get out of the way.”
I snapped back to reality and hurriedly closed the door, but Liam forcefully
pushed the door open.
The strength of the door knocked me off my feet, and as I stood up, I saw the

bathroom door wide open. I rushed inside and locked the door.

Thankfully, Chris’s bathroom had a latch, unlike my own door, which could be
opened from the outside with a coin.
There was silence outside the bathroom door.
But after a moment, there was a sudden bang on the door panel in less than
ten seconds!
He was pounding on the door!
I could not help but shudder, backing away instinctively.
The banging on the door grew louder and more forceful.
The loud noise reverberated in the confined room, and the space seemed to
shake violently.
I was overcome with terror, my vision turned black, and I could not utter a

sound. I could only tremble as I continued to retreat. And then, suddenly, I
heard a loud crash!
The latch fell off and the door swung open.

Liam stood at the door and his face was even more menacing than before,
as he charged toward me with murderous intent.
In an instant, memories of the torturous experiences flooded my mind.
I was not afraid of death, but he did not kill me every time we fought.
I feared the excruciating pain, the sensation of dying, and the relentless cycle
of despair.
In my frantic thoughts, Liam was just three feet away from me.
He could reach my neck and strangle me in the distance. Or he could slap
me, or…

I did not want to be tortured again, but I could not escape.

Feeling lost and desperate, I rushed towards him and embraced him with all
my might.
I wrapped my arms tightly around his body, preventing him from moving and
strinking me.
It was the only way out.
Liam did not expect such a foolish tactic from me, so he momentarily
paused.
Taking advantage of the pause, I uttered, “I’m sorry…”
I did not want a response from him. I lifted my face and pleaded with my
eyes, saying, “I’m sorry, please don’t be angry…”
Before I could finish, Liam pulled my hand away and gripped my face tightly.

He stared at me savagely, like a predator ready to swoop down at any
moment.

This stare was enough to weaken anyone’s legs, and I felt my entire body go
limp, unable to utter a word.
“I’m sorry?” he eventually spoke, each word oozing with darkness and cruelty,
“Are you foolish?”
I could not speak.
I was indeed foolish.
But he did not want me to respond, because he sank his teeth into my
mouth.
He bit me hard. He was like a wild animal, he was cruel and violent.
