Chapter 105: Confirm

"A-Ash-"

I couldn't finish my sentence as he placed a hand on my nape. He lifted me slightly, and pressed his lips against mine.

I wanted to push him away, but I was too weak-not because of the poison, but because of his presence and what he was doing.

He bit my lower lip, forcing my mouth open. Taking advantage of the moment, he slipped something into my mouth.

"That's your antidote, baby," he said, staring at me. "You can either swallow it or die here instantly."

It had been five years... yet he looked the same. The same Ash who loved me... and almost killed me.

"It's been a while. You're still as beautiful as ever," he said, finally letting me go.

He moved over to Windwood and took a syringe as well. He quickly administered it to the senator.

I blinked twice, but he was still there. I wasn't hallucinating, nor was I dreaming.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, my voice still weak.

"Evangeline told you to wait for her signal, didn't she?" He smirked and pointed to himself. "I'm the signal she was talking about. Now stop interrogating me. We've got a mission to accomplish, don't we?" Ash is the signal? What the fuck is happening?

He placed his hands on either side of my neck, seemingly checking if I still had a fever like earlier. Thanks to the antidote he gave me, I was feeling fine now.

He quickly organized my things and even picked up the items I had scattered earlier while rummaging through the cabinet.

Ash was wearing gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints, which made me curious. What was he doing here, and why did it seem like he had a mission of his own, just like me?
