For a moment, the entire room plunged into a deathly silence.

With her frantic breathing roaring in her ears, Natalie unwittingly stumbled two steps before her legs gave up, and she slumped onto the floor.

“I... I didn't do that on purpose. You were the one who touched me,” she stammered with her face pale and her eyes fixated on Sean.

Cradling his arm that was still bleeding, Sean likewise stared at her. He said nothing, but the look in his eyes was terrifyingly dark and grim.

Natalie lifted the knife and placed it against her own neck. “I know you must be seized by the urge to rip me into shreds after I injured you twice. However, you only have yourself to blame. I warned you not to come any closer, but you ignored my warning. Therefore, don't blame me for hurting you. Admittedly, I can't bring myself to kill you because I can't accept taking a life. But I can still end my own life!”

At that, she pressed her knife hard against her flesh.

Immediately, a shallow cut appeared on her neck. Blood oozed out and trickled down the blade, making a gruesome sight.

Sean's eyes went wide, for he never expected her to hurt herself.

He hastily stretched out a hand. “What are you doing, Natalie?”
