Chapter 0001

"Where's the patient's husband? Why hasn't he come yet? If he doesn't sign soon, it'll be too late," a doctor urged.

"The patient's husband refuses to come. He said to let her fend for herself,” a nurse replied.

"Fend for herself..."

When Suzy Frost, battered and barely clinging to life on the operating table, heard those words, something inside her stirred. Summoning the last of her strength, she slowly raised her hand. "Give me my phone..."

Seeing her condition, the nurse quickly handed her the phone.

Enduring excruciating pain, Suzy redialed the number that was almost etched into her brain.

Just as the call was about to disconnect automatically, it finally went through.

"I already told you that her life or death is none of my business!" the man on the other end spoke, his voice full of displeasure and impatience.

"Dylan..."

With every word Suzy spoke, a searing pain shot through her body, "After you took Anne away, the kidnappers detonated the bomb, and I was hurt, badly..."

"Heh..."

Before she could finish, the man on the other end let out a cold, dismissive chuckle. "Suzy, your acting is really improving. That weak little voice almost sounds convincing."

"...I'm not lying to you, I really am hurt."

"Is that so?" His tone grew even more scornful.

"Then I wish you a speedy journey to hell!"

"Dylan..."

"Beep beep beep..."

Undeterred, Suzy tried calling again.
