They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 61: Exposed Chapter 61: Exposed The woman entered the restroom and disappeared into a stall.

Nnenna slipped in after her, positioning herself carefully beside the stall, out of direct view.

She couldn’t risk her shadow or feet being seen from below.

Then, she waited.

The silence in the restroom was thick, charged with tension.

‘Would Nurse Courage open it?

Would she finally learn the truth?’ Nnenna wondered Inside the stall, Nurse Courage hesitated.

Something about this felt wrong.

Her fingers trembled slightly as she peeled open the envelope.

A nagging sense of dread settled in her chest, because nothing good ever came from finding an anonymous envelope on your desk minutes after you left.

Taking a deep breath, she tilted the envelope.

Photographs slipped out.

Her heart pounded as they scattered onto her lap.

At first, she looked away, unwilling to face whatever truth was staring back at her.

But avoidance wouldn’t change reality.

Better to see it now than regret it later.

Slowly, cautiously, she forced herself to look.

Her breath hitched.

The image before her sent a jolt through her system.

Reuben.

He was in a cramped janitor’s closet, sitting stiffly on a bucket.

Wearing a janitor’s uniform.

The logo on the upper right side of his vest was unmistakable, the same company name he had claimed to work for.

The first picture showed Reuben staring at his phone, completely absorbed.

The second picture was different, he looked caught off guard.

But the third one… Nurse Courage’s breath hitched.

His eyes.

A dangerous glint lurked in them, something she had never seen before.
