My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

"What about those human lives? Do you know how many families will be destroyed, and how many people will be killed if all of these drugs are sold?" I asked.

Jordan's eyes became strict. He stared straight ahead and replied without any feeling, "Everyone has to pay for their own choices, and no one is exempted. Strong ones survive and weak ones get eliminated. That's all."

"But they shouldn't be given such a choice in their lives!" I was so angry that I started to reason with him. After that, I realized that it was a waste of strength. I had no choice but to hold my forehead and smile bitterly.

"Don't be like this, Arianna. I don't think you are fragile at all." Jordan suddenly spoke as if he was trying to calm the tense atmosphere.

I have to calm down.

I kept telling myself in my heart that being calm was the only way I could continue to fight against this cold creature.

I suddenly thought of Hendrix. Was it because he had been here too, and seeing all of this made him decide to come up with a plan?

I knew that I shouldn't have thought about him. Sometimes, we wouldn't know what our fates would lead us to. As soon as this idea flashed through my mind, the elevator in the distance opened. Evan was holding on to someone and could barely stand without his help. It was none other than Hendrix, and I noticed that his face was very pale.

He was breathing heavily, and there was an injury on his left chest. There was a large area of blood. He looked up, and our eyes met. After a second, he quickly looked away, and his fierce gaze fell upon Jordan.

there was a lot of blood and mud on it. He was in a much worse state than Hendrix, but his eyes were fiercer.
