S31 104. Dilemma

“Don’t you learn from mistakes?” Ava sighed in between her irregular breaths. “I’m weak and having no skills. I failed to carry out Sophia’s mission. Why do you still want to give me such a big task?”

“Make no mistake, Miss Connor. They are not children. Their bodies. are small, but their souls are like cunning old people. Do you think they could tear up my family’s yacht if they were only four years old?”

Ava sighed tiredly. “No, I won’t be able to. I’ll end up stabbing myself if I plan to give them poisoned needles.”
