Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 92

When Sylvia woke up, everything before her eyes was still pitch dark. But gradually, dots of light appeared, followed by blurred figures. That's when Freya showed up.

By now, Sylvia could see clearly. She was just teasing Freya a moment ago, payback for spiking her milk.

Sylvia put down her finger and took a bite of a bagel. "You all go on, I'm fine now."

"But Freya..." Billie was worried, silently pointing towards the door.

"We're in a hospital. She wouldn't dare do anything."

"Okay then."

The three of them tidied up a bit and left the hospital room.

As soon as they left, Freya returned, her expression now calm, though a sinister smile played on her lips.

Sylvia pretended not to notice.

"Sylvia, the weather's so nice outside. How about I help you go for a walk? It might help you relax, and who knows, you might recover faster."

Freya walked over to the bed and, without waiting for a response, lifted Sylvia's blanket. Ignoring her blindness entirely, she began dragging Sylvia out of bed. Sylvia didn't resist, letting her lead the way out of the room.

"Freya, slow down. I can't see."
