Rebirth of the Deadly Beauty

Chapter 54

Blake threw away the pill and stared at his reflection in the mirror for a while. He tried to hide the bruise on his forehead with his bangs. Then, he put bandages on the areas he couldn't cover.

He had a social gathering that night. When he arrived at the restaurant and someone asked about the injuries on his face, he came up with an excuse and hastily changed the subject.

Before long, everyone was chatting and clinking glasses. "Blake, you don't look so good today," someone said.

Another person chimed in, "Yeah, you've been attending a lot of social gatherings lately. Maybe you should see a doctor soon."

"I'm perfectly fine! It's probably because I haven't been sleeping well the last few days. It's no big deal!" Blake insisted, pouring himself another glass of wine. However, as he lifted his glass, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. Everyone around him noticed something was amiss and asked with concern, "Are you alright, Blake?"

"I'm..." Blake couldn't articulate further. In the blink of an eye, everything went black, and he passed out.
