The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 874 The Worst Evil in Human Nature

In the dim, sterile corner of Room 409, Rylee crouched, clutching her head tightly, her body stained with blood.

The short, stocky nurse stood above her, striking with a brutal, relentless force, punching and kicking without any hesitation. Lucinda stood frozen, unable to tear her eyes away from the horrific sight.

The room no longer resembled a hospital ward; it had turned into a chamber of torment.

How could someone whose job was to care for the vulnerable inflict such cruelty on a defenseless woman?

In her shock, it took Lucinda a moment to recognize the trembling figure in the corner-it was her daughter.

"Stop it!" Ferell shouted, grabbing the nurse's arm and tossing her aside with force.

The nurse quickly shifted into a pitiful act, pretending to be innocent. "She was hurting herself! I-I was just trying to help her!" Lucinda rushed to her daughter, kneeling beside her.

She gazed down at Rylee for what felt like an eternity, the truth slowly sinking in. It was Rylee.

The pain in her chest was almost unbearable, and she nearly lost consciousness.

Robin steadied her with a gentle tap on her arm, helping her regain control.

Tears flooded Lucinda's eyes as she whispered, "Rylee, my dear!"

Rylee flinched, shaking with fear. "Please ... don't hit me anymore... I beg you

"It's me, your mother. I'm here to save you!" Lucinda said softly.

Rylee's shaking slowed as the shock began to lift.

She wiped the blood from her eyes with trembling hands and looked up at her mother.

Her face was a mixture of disbelief and fragile hope.

"Mom? Is it really you?" she asked, afraid that this was all just her imagination.

Lucinda pulled Rylee close, holding her tightly. "Yes, my sweet Rylee, it's really me. You don't need to be scared anymore,

Kylee, still struggling to believe it, suddenly bit down on her own arm, as if trying to convince herself that the world wasn't a nightmare.

The sharp pain brought her back to reality, and she stared at her mother, tears streaming down her face.

"Mom! It's really you! I thought I'd never see you again she cried, her sobs uncontrollable.
