Chapter 48
Shaking, I clenched my fists tightly. Even if I had already become a soul, I was still terrified.
Suddenly, Rachel stopped in her tracks. When she saw the sight before her, she shuddered and turned pale. She turned around and vomited.
It was the biological reaction to seeing something so saddening and horrifying. It wasn’t that she found it disgusting.
There was a glass enclosure Inside the dark plt. It was lit up, making it seem like a cultural exhibit in a
museum.
I was
Inside the enclosure, she could see me hooked up to countless drips. I looked like a doll that deliberately placed there. My eyes were gouged out, and the murderer had covered my eyes with a red slip of cloth…
My skin was already deathly pale. I was dressed in a red strappy dress, and my legs were pinned to the platform. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Firefighters and doctors carefully opened the glass enclosure. Everyone let out a gasp when they saw
1. me.
At that moment, my corpse looked like the most beautiful masterpiece on display…
Michael stood there with his gaze flickering. His eyes were filled with terror and mixed emotions.
I didn’t know what he was thinking at that moment. Even I… didn’t dare to take another look.
“That sicko… even pulled out her nails and inlaid them with crystals. Her earrings are also made of crystals, and her skin is encrusted with crystals… Everything Stephanie is wearing is priceless. Even this glass enclosure isn’t made of normal glass…
“The patient has a pulse! There are weak breath sounds!” the doctor yelled loudly, warning everyone to be careful with me.
I stared at the doctor in shock. There was a pulse? And breath sounds? What was the meaning of this?
I wasn’t dead?
“The culprit must have injected the victim with a huge amount of drugs. These are pretty much liquid nourishment tubes for sustaining life. The victim is unconscious, but there are still signs of life,” the doctor explained.
Rachel crumpled to the ground. Her emotions were all over the place. “Stephie… Save her, please. Zion, please save her. Doctor… please, please save her.”
She knelt on the ground and begged. Her body was quivering like a leaf.
She didn’t know who to beg so that I could survive.
“That man is a psycho… The victim can only lie in this position. If we move her.” The doctor sighed.
“No… Save her, please!” Rachel begged them tearfully
I stood there numbly and slowly closed my eyes
At that moment, I sort of understood why my soul hadn’t disappeared together with my body.
It was because I wasn’t truly dead.
After a long time, Michael finally uttered hoarsely, “Save her…”
Save her.
Those two words sounded like mockery.
His face was ashen. He took two steps forward stiffly, as though he wanted to make sure that the person inside the glass enclosure was indeed me.
“That bastard… I’m going to kill him.” Michael’s voice was hoarse and deep, like it was being ground
out.
He was shaking. When he confirmed that the person inside the glass enclosure was me, he bowed his head and didn’t dare to look up.
His red eyes seemed incredibly sorrowful.
However, his every move right now felt like mockery to me.
It was laughable.
you’re the one who did this to her!” Rachel screamed hysterically. She rushed forward to slap him.” You asshole!”
Michael stood there helplessly, allowing Rachel to lose her mind. He didn’t move an inch.
I stood there, watching the police and the doctors panic. My best friend was losing control, and Zion held her back. I watched as Michael lost his balance and fell on his behind….
“Officer Landon, Stephanie lost her pulse!”
The doctor’s heart rate monitor let out piercing beeps. My vision grew blurrier until darkness swallowed me.
So this was what death felt like.
