Hansel shook his head. “Mr. Luke, the black market’s always been chaotic. People come in and expect trouble- beatings aren’t rare. When I was grabbed just now, they blindfolded me and gagged me, dragged me out. I wasn’t beaten as badly as you, but I still took a few hits. I heard that when Miss Natalie came here years ago, she was also beaten. She almost got assaulted.”

Jensen’s fury froze in an instant.

Natalie had been beaten here too?

He could barely stand the pain himself-how had she endured it, a young woman all alone?

“How do you know that?” Jensen turned sharply toward Hansel. “You’ve never told me this before.”

Hansel lowered his gaze, aware of the dangerous edge in Jensen’s eyes. “When Miss Summers came to the black market, I was with her. I stayed until we saw Witch Doctor, then I was ordered to leave. As for the beating, Miss. Natalie told me not to mention it to you. She said if your surgery succeeded, if you survived, then everything was worth it. She didn’t want you weighed down by guilt.”

Jensen fell silent.

His chest clenched with a crushing ache, almost choking him. The more he learned about what Natalie had endured for him, the more monstrous he felt.

But what could he do now?

She was gone. Whatever regret or remorse he carried, it was too late to give her anything back.

His whole body throbbed, but the
